Re: TotemIconWidget
Ooo, neato! I'll have to try it out...
The only suggestion I have: It could become an 'addon' rather than a patch. "TidyPlatesWidgets" is a global variable, which you can assign to, even outside of the main Tidy Plates code. So, you could have your own LUA file, under "TidyPlates_ThreatWidget" (or something like that), and assign your function in the same manner... Code:
TidyPlatesWidgets.CreateTotemIconWidget = CreateTotemIconWidget Code:
## Dependencies: TidyPlates, TidyPlates_ThreatWidget

A few things
Like someone else said before me - this addons is something I would cover with butter, gag and drag to bed with me - totally awesome! And the mock-up pictures is the final step to covering everything I want without loosing focus of the mob I'm tanking. Thanks for making this so great.
So, a few things I have to say: Playing on my rogue I noticed that the combo-points aren't instant and usually display wrong number of combo-points because of this. Would be awesome to have no delay at all and should be doable (?) Regarding the timer icons, that's just awesome. I really like the right versions since they look kind of unique, I do realize the take some space thos and wonder how it will look tanking multiple mobs. Anyways, the most important features for me would be knowing time left and knowing when one of my buffs arent on the mob. So, please make it so it tracks the debuffs I can put up even if it's not up. I.e. by highlighting it someway if not applied (red border, tint red/black or size it 150%). Something else that struck me was checking for simular debuffs, I mean if I can't put up sunder because somone else has a armor debuff up I would love to know this, somehow. Maybe showing that debuff in the same place but highlighting it someway also so I know that it's not me. Also, please include a scale for the icons, so we can make sure it looks good fitting in different classes debuffs. And I am already guessing that you will only be tracking self debuffs. If you choose to make the right versions (looks awesome) can you please make a "tidy" addon for tracking self buffs aswell with simular grafix? Would be awesome having them fall down the way you've proposed and then when they are ran out the get 150% bigger or something, covering other icons so you really have to put it up ^^ Managing what things to track would be preferable with an advance option. Any type of list. Also, is it possible to add some kind of feater where you highlight certain casts? I mean, sorting casts that isn't important and things that will kill me with one blow unless I use a cooldown. I got DBM but yeah, this would be awesome to see cleary in this addons aswell. Finally a request. Is there a possability to control how far my current targets frame gets relative to the middle? Some bosses who are really tall disapears from the screen and I have to zoom out to oblivion to see them (something I don't always benefit from doing). Like have a "box" in the middle where my current target would never leave. Would be truly awesome. Sorry for wall-o-text  And thanks again! |

Re: A few things
In the words of a famous commenter;
Wall-of-text hits Danltiger for 1,857,294 (Critical).. Just reading through it quick, the only thing impossible is your last request; Tidy Plates doesn't manage the creation or position of the nameplates. Every nameplate addon 'merely' snags the Blizzard nameplates, and do our evil things to them. I would totally love it to be different. The rest of your suggestions are quite possible, if daunting.. lol ;-)

More blargh
Well, I am famous (read hated) for my long ants on our guild forum.
Anyways, just thought of another very cool feature to the addon and that would be showing ToT (is it possible with just mouseover like the threat update?). We are two tanks usually and since I am a warrior I am not great on AoE tanking, but I do however want to quickly pick up loose mobs but it is way to hard for me to do that by clicking enemies to find out who the target is. Imagine just mouseovering them and seeing an icon or something (this smiley is awesome!) |

Re: More blargh
LOL
Actually, I had something like that feature in Tidy Plates during the pre-release 5.10 beta. It was the "Tanked" widget. I didn't have a chance to properly finish it before release. It displays a shield icon if the ToT is a raid tank, and a bloody knife knife when it's someone else. It should make it back to the release, at some point. Right now, the threat line widget already tells you who the top threatholder is, which 99% of the time indicates the current target. In addition, with the Beta version, the name will get colored bluey-green if the targeted unit is marked as a "Main Tank" in the raid roster. (The raid leader can assign this via the default UI)

Sounds awesome with that shield and color thingy. I actually never payed attention to the name of the ToT (I will check to see if I just didn't see it during all the commotion).
Another questions, I am really eager on doing a theme for TidyPlates with focus on tanking (one that doesn't look retarded like ThreatPlates) and was wondering if there is a limit to size and stuff (I remeber aloft couln't change size less than Blizz standard plates or else click wouldn't work)? *edit* Hmm, you will get really annoyed at all my "can't you do this, can't you do that?" bullcrap but I'll write it anyways and maybe it inspires you in some way. Is it possible to get the portrait from ToT and Threat target (they can be different) and in some way add it like the icon for the spell cast. Like having current threat targets portait (instead of shield or other icon) show up when you loose threat (or always show) does make it faster to tell who is fucking up. A name is hard to read but a bear is easy to spot. Maybe have it in the middle of Tog o' Threat and if you are the treat target show second in threat in the window (so I can tell that hunter to back the F up). Or just have the threat target to the far right and the ToT near the castbar under it liek you did in those mockups. Regarding ToT (basically spell target) is always nice to have. Preferably clickable so you can intercept/intervene fast. This would be so awesome. Also, I like the Gray theme but it feels to big sometimes. The loooooong healtbar just seems uneccassary for me since i maybe need to tell if he's at 20% or if he is at 100%. So one could probably make the plate shorter. Also, name is nice but in no way necessary. Maybe have it sharing space with healt-text and crop it. I guess I have to make this myself thoough  Can you make the "bars" grow vertically, maybe there is something that can be done there to save some space. Oh yeah, for the position problem that couldn't be done. Maybe having a mirrored plate of that you can place wherever you want can be a cool idea for this? I mean, can you tell where a plate is, then you could maybe show the mirrored plate when the real one was out of sight or too far away. I made the text smaller, so it softens the effect of the wall-o-text damage (like demo shout) Also, have you seriously not gotten any donations? According to the donate button you haven't even gotten one beer and an apple martinii (for you) and that is just crazy. It also seems to have expired or something. *edit 43232* Just figured ut how you can have the "fallwing down" icons for your "debuffs to keep up" widget. Have them inside the plate! If you want to keep name where it is now just have the icons preferred state (on the mob and long cooldown left) high up, not all the way up though so you can still always tell health. Then let them fall down slowly over the name (it should have already been read and understood by then) when they are getting close to running out. I would set a fixed timer for the drop down thing. I mean, if one debuff has 60 minutes and one has 10 seconds duration the one with 60 minutes would not start dropping untill it is 59:50. No need having everything move all the time, just need to know when it's about to refresh it. Leave some room on right for total hp and % (maybe on two lines).
