dNamePlates

Version: r17

by: Dawn [More]

Custom minimalistic and lightweight nameplates.

Features
* works with PlateBuffs
* spell icon
* name text is colored by threat
* Totems are shown as icons
* current health value
- current health value is hidden @100% health
- between 35% and 25%, value is yellow colored
- between 25% and 20%, value is orange colored
- below 20%, value is red colored
* added hankthetank's raidicon textures
* show hostile nameplates in combat and/or optionally hide them out of combat
- by default nameplates show in combat and do not hide out of combat
...

NPCs are not class coloured, never.
Hostile players are only class coloured out of a sanctuary (which excludes Dalaran for example). Generally said, they are class coloured in PvP, which also means they have to be flagged for PvP on a PvE server.

FAQ

1. Where'z teh options?
Take a look into your World of Warcraft folder: Interface\Addons\dNamePlates\dNameplates.lua. You can open this file with Wordpad, Notepad or any other text editor. I recommend Notepad++ - it's free, google it.

note: If you change anything, you have to reload your interface, either via /rl, /console reloadui or log out ingame.

Config

Code:


local TEXTURE = mediaFolder.."dA"
local FONT = mediaFolder.."Pixelway_Baseline.ttf"
local FONTSIZE = 8
local FONTFLAG = "OUTLINE MONOCHROME"			-- "THINOUTLINE", "OUTLINE MONOCHROME", "OUTLINE" or nil (no outline)

local hpHeight = 5
local hpWidth = 100
local cbIconSize = 20
local cbHeight = 5
local cbWidth = 100

local showIC = true 
local hideOOC = false

local blankTex = "Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8"

r17
* quick updated for Mists of Pandaria

note: untested

r16
* updated for 4.1
* the selected nameplate won't be resized by default, anymore (aka adWidth and adHeight are set to 0)
- the option is still there, however ...

note:
- untested, just a quick fix for 4.1

r15
* selected nameplates will now be larger than others
* added options to set the increased size for selected plates
- adWidth = 14 -- additional width for selected nameplate (hpWidth + adWidth)
- adHeight = 4 -- additional height for selected nameplate (hpHeight + adHeight)
* fixed totem icon display, which broke in r14, because of level display ... D'OH!

r14
* added Totem of Tranquil Mind support
* added Spirit Link Totem support
* added 1px border around totem icons
* added highlight for selected nameplate
* tweaked level and name position code
* added an option to set a font shadow offset (default: FontShadowOffset = 0)
- 1 = (1,-1), 1.5 = (1.5, -1.5), ...

r13
* forgot to include raidicon texture ...

r12
* Totems are now shown as icons
* some CVars are now set by default
- SetCVar("ShowClassColorInNameplate", 1)
- SetCVar("nameplateShowEnemyTotems", 1)
* added level display ...
* some minor visual tweaks

r11
* removed some obsolete code
* small visual tweaks

r10
* toc update for patch 4.x
* code rewritten, extremely simplified, no longer based on caelNameplates
* removed class icon code
* removed separate config - some options (size, etc) can still be found in dNameplates.lua
* level is now hidden
* names are no longer abbreviated

NOTE:
Blizzards Nameplates are still bugged and seem to show/hide randomly. This addon modifies blizzards nameplates instead of replacing them. Therefore the same oddly behaviour will happen. This is Blizzards fault. Once Blizzard will fix their code, the issue will be gone. ;)

r9
* nicer raid icon position...

r8
* replaced the "glow border" with a solid border, to match my oUF layout
* added an option to change the border color
* long names will be abbreviated, to match my oUF layout (for example: Sunreaver Mage Guardian becomes S. M. Guardian)
* added an option to change the maximum number of characters before a name gets abbreviated
* revised class icon code
* added new border to class icon
* some tweaks
* removed the class icon textures from the package and use blizzards default textures instead - reduced package size FTW ...
* removed some more unused textures and fonts from the package - reduced package size FTW ... #2

r7
* added an option to change the position of the nameplate (X and Y Offset)
* cleaned up some code and improved PlateBuffs compatibility

r6
* added class icon (only visible for hostile players)
* added 3 icon sets of class textures (oldClassIcons, newClassIcons)
- you can choose a different one, via config
- you might have to adjust the size of the icon, depending on the texture you choose
* added hankthetanks's raidicon textures
* added an icon texture (dBBorderJ) for castbars spell icon
* added a new mouseover highlight texture and made the highlight slightly more visible
* added a more flat bartexture (dM2) and set it as default
* level text font shadow can be turned on/off via "showFontShadow", too

r5
* possible fix for r4 nil error, everyone but myself seems to enounter - D'OH! #2

r4
* added current health value as a possible shown health value
* added an option to show/hide current health value
* added an option to show/hide percent health value
- if both options are true it will show both, current AND percent health value

r3
* possible fix for a nil error everyone but myself seems to enounter - D'OH!
- I need some feedback on this.Since I don't get the error, I can't tell if it's gone now or not.

r2
* added an option to turn auto show nameplates in combat on/off
* added auto hide nameplates out of combat (disabled by default)
* added an option to turn auto hide nameplates out of combat on/off
* added an option to show/hide a shadow behind text (disabled by default)

The other problem I have is that every nameplate ends up red this way, as in, I don't see the yellow neutral bars on a neutral unit. I think I might be asking too much of you here, and maybe I should just be happy with what I'm given :P Code: local ThreatUpdate = function(self, elapsed) self.elapsed = self.elapsed + elapsed if self.elapsed >= 0.2 then if not self.oldglow:IsShown() then self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0.35, 0.2) else self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(0.3, 1, 0.3) end self.elapsed = 0 end

Dawn A Molten Giant Forum posts: 918 File comments: 959 Uploads: 22	I would do it more like this... Code: if self.elapsed >= 0.2 then if not self.oldglow:IsShown() then self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(self.r, self.g, self.b) else self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(self.oldglow:GetVertexColor()) end -- self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(self.r, self.g, self.b) self.elapsed = 0 end note: I'm currently really busy and have been the whole week, already. I wouldn't take my own posts to serious right now. __________________ Rock: "We're sub-standard DPS. Nerf Paper, Scissors are fine." Paper: "OMG, WTF, Scissors!"

This is an option in TidyPlates.
Might help here.

... this isn't TidyPlates

and yea, that kind of option would be cool to have as well. I know that Doc's Nameplates are able to hide specific nameplates by name

Cyprias A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 71 Uploads: 9	Can I request you use HookScript isntead of SetScript for the nameplate OnShow/OnHide/OnUpdate handlers please. Also, r6 seems to be using a lot of globals. http://paste.wowace.com/2104/. (found with FindGlobals) and the config table in config.lua is global too. If another addon comes along and does config = nil you config table gets destroyed. You can share variables between your lua files by using your addon's namespace table. At the top of your files add local folderName, namespace = ... namespace is a table only accessible to the lua files in your addon's folder. You should put your config in there.

fhaddad922 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 2	Class Icon I noticed you added the feature of showing class icons on the nameplate and I read that you need to disable class colored name plates if you want to disable the icon. For me, I like class colored name plates and I don't see the point of class colors and an icon at the same time. Seems redundant. Is there a way I can turn off the icon and leave class colors enabled? Not sure if in your config file if I can make the icon size 0x0? I'd like to do it in a way to maximize performance and not even process the icon in the first place. Probably seems silly but I'm OCD about addon efficiency.

Dawn A Molten Giant Forum posts: 918 File comments: 959 Uploads: 22	It still matters for PvP and class icons only work in PvP, anyway. Due to the fact how the icon code is bound to get the class color of the "nameplate" to be able to set the proper icon. It matters for PvP, because it's easier to track enemies, especially in arena. I do agree that it is somewhat "doubled information", but it's increased visibility though, imho. The CPU cycle/memory impact of a 0x0 icon shouldn't be noticable at all. Especially not when you are using class colored nameplates, anyway. @brotherhobbes I know, Cyprias already suggested some changes few post below yours. Thanks, though. I just need to find the time to make those changes. Seems like r135 of PlateBuffs works without issues. __________________ Rock: "We're sub-standard DPS. Nerf Paper, Scissors are fine."

Cyprias A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 71 Uploads: 9	In ThreatUpdate() you're calling Code: local minHealth, maxHealth = self.healthOriginal:GetMinMaxValues() local valueHealth = self.healthOriginal:GetValue() then right below it Code: self.healthBar:SetMinMaxValues(minHealth, maxHealth) self.healthBar:SetValue(valueHealth) self.healthOriginal and self.healthBar point to the same frame. There's no need to SetMinMaxValues() & SetValue(). Last edited by Cyprias : 06-17-10 at 09:09 AM.
