galvin A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 265 File comments: 166 Uploads: 1	You open to the idea of adding custom color for different mob names? The only thing I'm concerned about is if doing a lookup in a table in the specialtext function will cause a lot of overhead. I been playing with the change in 5mans, I can spot mob names so much easier now. For my own use I made the adherent mobs appear in green text. Here is the code snippit I used to do this: Code: local function SetSpecialText(unit) local st = unit.name:lower() local st2 = "" local color = "\|cFF00FF00" -- green if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then st = color .. unit.name else st = unit.name end return st end But my other question, is there a way to disable the rectangle on mouse over? I take it this is the glowtexture under the healthborder theme. Last edited by galvin : 02-19-10 at 09:11 PM.

Works perfect for now I'm adding some custom color for certain names this will come useful for some boss fights where you need to spot a mob out of a cluster of targets. Hopefully that can be added as a feature.

Is there anyway to disable the white rectangle around targets when you mouse over them?

Code:

local function SetSpecialText(unit) return unit.name end --[[ local HpPct local HpAmt local HpMax if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.percent then if (TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.amount or TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.max) then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.deficit and not TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.max and unit.health == unit.healthmax then HpPct = floor(100*(unit.health / unit.healthmax)).."%" else HpPct = " - "..floor(100*(unit.health / unit.healthmax)).."%" end else HpPct = floor(100*(unit.health / unit.healthmax)).."%" end else HpPct = "" end if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.amount then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.deficit then if (unit.health == unit.healthmax) then HpAmt = "" else HpAmt = "-"..Truncate(unit.healthmax - unit.health) end else HpAmt = Truncate(unit.health) end else HpAmt = "" end if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.max then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.amount then if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.deficit and unit.health == unit.healthmax then HpMax = Truncate (unit.healthmax) else HpMax = " / "..Truncate(unit.healthmax) end else HpMax = Truncate(unit.healthmax) end else HpMax = "" end if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.settings.options.showSpecialText then if (unit.health / unit.healthmax) < 1 then return HpAmt..HpMax..HpPct else if TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.text.full then return HpAmt..HpMax..HpPct else return "" end end else return "" end end --]]

I was planning on just making a separate text element and completely bypass the default name text from TidyPlates.

This won't be needed in the next version.

When i switch back to 2.1e those preformance Problems are gone.

I don't really know which information could be useful to you in solving this problem, so would be nice if you just ask me what you need to know

I'm not sure were the problem is, I didn't really change a whole lot.

I need to review my coding.

galvin A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 265 File comments: 166 Uploads: 1	Is it possible to make friendly name plates only show for target only. This would be useful on bloodqueen when you need to bite someone. Then you target them and you see a nameplate on that unit only. Making it easy to spot. May be useful for mobs as well. Long as its an option for both. Also for mob plates to change their text or healthbar or frame color based on the name you set in the options. So you have an options window for a list of names, type, color. Important mob1, frame, yellow. This would color the nameplate frame yellow when if the name equals this or changes to this during combat. Important mob2, health bar, orange. Same as above except healthbar on the name plate changes orange. Last edited by galvin : 02-17-10 at 12:58 PM.

Re: Working with other tanks

I saw someone else suggest this earlier in the thread without a response I notice, so its a request I'd like to reiterate:

Could you implement an option that would shrink the plates and give a different glow (say blue) if the mob is being tanked by either someone designated as a main tank, or matching a specified name?

ThreatPlates are great for showing when I have threat, and when I don't have threat. What they don't show is when a mob is being safely handled by one of my fellow tanks (so I can ignore them) or when its running loose beating up healers and other squishies (when I should probably taunt it).

Posted by suicidalkatt @ Curse.com Monday, February 01, 2010 12:34:12 PM (2 weeks ago)

As much as I would like to have that feature available, it's not possible with Tidy Plates considering there are no associations to UnitID's of the mobs the nameplates represent.

The communication from one tank to the other / tank targets won't mean anything if the nameplates are just floating boxes of information that can't tell you which mob EXACTLY that they represent.

I may make a mouseover feature that will look for the target the mob is casting on / attacking and check to see if the player is a tank or not.

It would then display a confirmation graphic of some kind. The nameplate will still show as "low threat" but it will have something to show it's "safeness".

Thank you,

EDIT: or even if we lose threat on a mob, we can have the bar turn blue or yellow. Something drastic, because red/green colorblind is the most common type of colorblind. It makes up of about 80%, if not more, of all colorblind folks,

Thanks again...

You can change the colors of the threat glows, there are other textures you can use and make yourself.

Their is currently a mouse over threat, however the configurations for it can't really be done considering its a fixed frame that's only updated when you mouseover.

I'm not sure how I want to go with its design. It's looking more like a combo points system any anything else.
