(r406)
* When "Show Party Aggro" (under Threat) is enabled, the "By Threat" spotlight systems for Opacity and Scale will now highlight your unfortunate party members.
* The Health and Text colors mode, "By Threat" has been changed to, "By Threat (Auto-Detect). The previous implementation has been renamed to "By Threat (Legacy)"
* When using a tank stance, aura, or form, you'll see the "Safe" color when you have aggro, and the "Warning" color when you don't. When NOT in a tank mode, you'll see the "Warning" color when you have aggro.
* Changed default Spotlight Opacity to 100%

(r403)
* Reversion of Default Scale to 100%/120%
* By Class color modes will now apply coloring to both Friendly and Enemy players
* By Class color mode will also source non-party/pvp colors from a cache. Mouseover-ing a unit will add it to the cache.
* Removed option, "Show Class Color for Party/Raid Members", since it's now redundant
* By Threat color modes will automatically swap colors to match tanking status
* Changed names of Color options to: Warning, Transition, and Safe

Some of these changes may not make it to the general release, if they don't work out. Let me know how the changes affect you.

(r358)
- Added: Tip text next to Hub Debuff widget config

6.4 (r318)
- New folder: TidyPlatesWidgets
* Moved Widgets to their own addon/folder (For memory usage tracking)

- The Hub Panels will check the order of the debuffs in its list to determine priority.
- The Hub opacity filter list has a new internal format, and will be automatically converted (hopefully)
- Class Widget no longer uses internal class artwork; Instead, the class icon is pulled from the Blizz UI library.
- Statusbar gradients are now supported via additional return values in theme.SetHealthbarColor()...

* SetCastbarColor is passed the 'unit info' table, which contains: unit.isCasting, unit.spellName, unit.spellID, unit.spellInterruptible

6.3.8 (r307)

6.3.0:
(284)

- Fixed UnitChannelInfo interruptable spell argument bug
- Found a bug; The Editboxes contained in my ScrollFrames seem to invisibly extend past the bottom of the scrollframe, which can block underlying UI controls. I've dropped the editboxes to a lower frame level, which is a hack method of preventing problems with it interferring with controls anchored to the bottom of the scrollframe. Will attempt to figure out a better solution.
- Name text coloring modes
- By Raid Icon modes for Opacity and Scale

r238 (6.1.10)
- Fixed un-interruptable spell bug on channeled spells
- Added to Hub; "By Prefix.." Mode for Debuff Widget

- PTR bug fixes (Neon Threat Glow was turning green)
- Debuff widget will clear aurainstance tables when combat ends (regen returns)
- Added Health Text option: Approximate Health (will show 2 decimal places for thousands (k) and millions (M), with suffix)

r212 (6.1.7)
- Changed from thousand/million suffix for health text to using a thousands seperator
- Restored PTR support (last time I checked)
- Moved Quatre Raid Icon to similar position as Neon (to left side of health bar)

- The update function for debuff icons are now exposed via, widget.Poll
- Added Events for UNIT_SPELLCAST_NOT_INTERRUPTIBLE, UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTIBLE
- Added Threat Wheel to Hub/function set
- Reverted to original health % mode; ie. does not show % when full health. if you like it the other way, edit TidyPlatesHub\functions.lua. I like it this way, and dammit, it's my software ;-)
- WoW 4.1 Compatibility (should work on 4.0.x and 4.1, concurrently. I have not tested on the PTR, though)


r199 - Raid Tank Coloring in Tank mode. Automatically used when in "By Threat" Modes.
- Theme list is now Alphabetized

---

Tidy Plates 5.12 Beta...

Beta 11
+ More cast bar improves
+ Rederanged some layering
+ Some other things, but I can't remember what they were.
+ Crimped my hair. Total blonde 'fro.
+ Planted some beets in my garden.
+ Cursed at the deer who ate my bean vines

+ Oh yeah... there's a new theme, which I included; It's called Graphite. It's a very minimal design, which is in-progress. Just thought you guys/gals might enjoy seeing it early.

Beta 9
+ Fooled around with region hiding

Beta 8
+ Cleaned up indicator code
+ Unit information table: levelcolorRed, levelcolorGreen, levelcolorBlue
+ clean up spellcasting errors

Beta 7
+ Fixed highlight bug
+ Added level text, color, and boss-skull

Beta 6
+ Fixed some Casting bar bugs
+ Note widget; Removed interface from neon

Beta 5
+ New frame/region management; No reparenting. This change is to help avoid crashes on Macs.

Beta 4
+ Cast bar has been totally reverted to older method; Some graphical glitches
may still occur, but it'll be Blizz's API's fault, this time ;-)
+ Debug Text has been removed
+ Note Widget has been repaired
+ Unit Raid Icon Info (unit.raidIcon)
* STAR, MOON, CIRCLE, SQUARE, DIAMOND, CROSS, TRIANGLE, SKULL
+ Debuff widget should behave better

doesn't have a target. Idle performance will slightly decrease, but
will have no impact to combat performance.

Beta 3
+ Fixed some "no target" update errors
+ Working on cast bar problems; Reverting to older method
REMOVED - When you click on the Tidy Plates entry in the Interface Options list, it will expand the list, showing all subitems
+ The debuff widget can be filtered by creating and linking a function to the debuff widget object (widget.Filter)
example:
plate.widgets.AuraIcon.Filter = function(debuffinfo)
if (debuff.duration < 50 ) or debuff.name == "Hunter's Mark" then return true end
end
+ Fixed some aura widget bugs

Beta 2B

+ Neon now can show the unit level in its health text field
+ Added events for PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST, PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED, UNIT_FACTION
+ Grey is included, again. It's not fully updated
+ Minor bug fixes
+ Both Neon and Grey will now only modulate the scale and aggro color of NPC nameplates; PvP colors will automatically pass through


Beta 1
Beta 1 will launch without Grey. This is so I can keep focused on features, and then work toward
the interface panels. I use Neon, so that's what I'll be testing with.
+ Notes Widget
+ Currently only editable via LUA. Add notes in the widgets\NotesWidget.lua file.
+ Unit Raid Icon Info
+ Range-Check Widget (for group members)
+ Interface (Drop down menu for range)

+ Make Selection Box and Threat Line defaults for Tidy Plates: Neon
+ Add Level Display Option to Grey
+ Neon: Make the Enemy Player color pass through (PVP)
+ Updated Combo Points
+ Neon: Added health text



5.11.4
---------------
* Grey Theme: New Customization Tool
1. Under the "TidyPlates_Grey" folder, you'll find another folder, "TidyPlates_GreyExtension"
2. To use it, begin by moving that folder up to your Addons folder
3. Open the file, "TidyPlates_GreyExtension\GreyExtension.lua"
4. You can directly modify the default behavior and appearance
5. This process can be duplicated for any theme, and will not get overwritten by an update
Post a comment, or write me an email (binbwen@gmail.com) if you need some help with this
* A full status update will now be performed when the cast bar is shown, to prevent null values

* The Public Test Build Includes the Neon theme

5.11.2
---------------
+ Castborder size is being reset during odd times; Added improvements to restore the shape
+ Fixed the issue with Grey aggro borders not being hidden after /reload (saved variable merge issue)

5.11.1
---------------
- Problems with OnInitialize not being called (widget errors occuring during combat) An attempted fix is applied.
- Fixed unit.class updates (hopefully)

Beta 10
-- /greydps and /greytank are the new shortcuts for Grey's Interface panel
-- Added aura widgets to Grey/Tank
-- Repositioned the Grey debuff widget

-- Short Debuff Widget Description; Displays up to 6 of your debuffs (in no particular order) on a target,
which are less than 36 seconds in total duration.

Beta 9
- Health text in Grey; "%x" will now read "x%"
- Added outline to text of Threat Line Widget (makes it easier to read in a cluttered battle)
- Decreased the text size of the target-of-target on Threat Line

Beta 8
- Debuff widget: number of columns reduced to 3
- Threat Line Widget will look to see if the player is marked as a Main Tank in the Raid settings. If so, it will display the person who has pulled aggro (Target of). otherwise, it will assume dps mode and hide the name.

* Fixed Virtual Plates compatibility (Thanks Saiket!!)

Theme function Changes:
* theme.OnInitialize will get called every time a nameplate is shown. Authors should check for
exsisting objects/widgets before creating new ones.
*theme.OnUpdate is called when the data on the plate is updated. This does not need a existence
check since it's guaranteed to run after an OnInitialize.


5.10.4
+ If the Threat Line Widget sees that the targetted character is a "MAINTANK" under the raid roles, it will color the name blue.

5.10.3
+ Line widget will color names

+ Re-enabled Cursor Update Event

Grey Theme
+ Scale: ignore non-elites (Added to Grey\Tank; Planned for Grey\DPS)
+ Alpha: hide non-elites (Added to Grey\Tank; Planned for Grey\DPS)

5.10.1
------
Re-added Threat Wheel/ Spinner

5.10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
++ "Avoid Overlap" (Alias) in panel
++ "Autoshow" Option in panel
++ Independent Frame
* scale pass-through (Not fully implemented; using Virtual Plates AND a theme which changes scale will show oddities)
* force alpha override (The developer can tell Tidy Plates to force the alpha - avoiding Blizzard's default alpha - by returning 'true' as a second value for the return)
- ex. theme.SetAlpha = function(unit) return 1, true end -- Will maintain the opacity at 100%, regardless of target status
++ Set Default CVars after VARIABLES_LOADED
++ Dual Spec Support (Changes theme based on spec)
- Added a second dropdown menu in panel
++ Troubleshooting Panel
- Vkey/Bindings
- reset/reload
++ Widgets
+ created TidyPlatesWidgets. table
+ Threat Wheel
+ Class Icon Widget
+ Combo Point Widget
+ Threat Line
+ MT Logic Widget
+ Syntax usage will follow
++ Scale pass-through (Not Complete; Using Virtual Plates AND a theme which changes scale will show oddities)
++ Performance Enhancements
++ More Comments (woo?)
++ Code Re-organization
++ Widgets now use TidyPlatesWidgets:HideIn(), and a watcher frame to perform time checks; Faster than having
each widget process for OnUpdate
++ Improvements to Panel Helpers
++ Unit Info table
+ .GUID (from mouseover or target)
++ Grey Theme
++ Critter/Neutral Filter checkbox
++ Panel redesign
++ Tank Mode; "Expands the size of runaway mobs"
++ DPS Mode; "Expands the size of aggro'd mobs"
++ Widgets
++ Each of my own themes should have their own config panel for role,
allowing dual spec to work seamlessly..
TidyPlatesThemes["Grey (DPS)"] = config
TidyPlatesThemes["Grey (Tank)"] = copytable(config)
++ Virtual Plates should now behave better
* Scale-changing plates will still cause problemos, but now, ordinary plates will work just fine.
* Returning NIL in your ScaleDelegate function (if you've got multiple modes) will allow VirtualPlates passthrough.
++ Grey Tank/DPS panels and saved variables got some love; They work better
+ Delegate functions now use local variables for speed
+ Fixed Forceupdate
+ Fixed some Grey variables
+ something else.. forgot what it was. (Ok, I remembered; I spelled "deficit" wrong. I bought the wrong vowel. Damn you, Vanna)
+ Fixed Health Text modes
* Grey Theme
- Added Current Health + Percent
* Widgets
- General Mouseover Widget
- Combo Point Widget
* Still had trouble with nameplate alpha changes updating after the OnShow call.
-- Solution: Indvidual Plate echo-update
* Retracted "Raid-Tanked" Widget (for the time-being)
* Added an extended.widget table
- Theme designers should put all their widget references in this table
* When nameplates are changed (manually or auto) by the Tidy Plates UI,
the software will attempt to hide/clear any frames listed under the
extended.widget table.

In Progress
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release To-Do
-------
-- Documentation

Post Release:
-- Video
-- Tidy Plates: Basic - Will become the new 'TDK' starter theme.

Moved to Future Version or Sep. Addon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* "Behind" Widget if IsUsableSpell("Shred") or IsUsableSpell("Backstab") then return 2; elseif IsUsableSpell("Mangle") or IsUsableSpell("Sinister Strike") then return 1 end
* Incoming Heal Widget (LibHealcomm )
* Default Functions for all non-overridden themes
* Tentative: Change SpecialText2 to SpellText? 'Spell Name Text' becomes a default feature
* - Include/Exclude List for theme (sep lua file)
* Unit Information Table additions
- unit.raidIcon = "SKULL", "X", etc
* LDB Addon/Plugin
* Make _VP work better
* Widget Customization (They'll behave more like the usual interface widgets, where you can add/remove elements and graphics)
* Widgets
- General Mouseover Widget
+* Mana Widget
+* Buff/Debuff Widget (Randa)
- Current Target Widget
+* Combo Point Widget
* Grey Theme
- PvP Mode
* Still having trouble with nameplate alpha changes updating after the OnShow call.
-- Current Solution; EchoUpdate. Problem; Adds too many "gather" phases
-- Future Solution: Indvidual Plate EchoUpdate or EchoUpdateAlpha

* Virtual Plates Workaround: Scale-changing plates will still cause problemos, but now, ordinary plates will work just fine.
* Returning NIL in your ScaleDelegate function (if you've got multiple modes) will allow VirtualPlates passthrough.
* Future Solution: externalScale and internalScale variables. All scale updates (internal and external) will pass to a function to combine the values

* Placing your widgets under frame.widgets in OnInitialize(frame) will allow Tidy Plates to clear the widgets when unneeded.

And, I think the "Copy Damage to Cache" thing is a typo. I'll take a peek. Thanks for the feedback! Originally Posted by Pagezero2 Not sure if it's bug to the way you intended things to work, but I noticed that the "Show Class Color for Party/Raid Members" doesn't do anything unless you have the text set to "By Class". Any chance this option could work regardless of what the text coloring option is set to, I like my friendly text set to "By Reaction" but love seeing class color in Raids. Also if I hit "Copy" on the Tank Hub, it says copying "Damage" to cache, not sure if it's a cut-n-paste issue. Thanks for all the great work. __________________ Author Portal Tidy Plates, Tidy Threat, and Tidy Bar

Change the MyCustomizations.lua file: local theme = TidyPlatesThemeList["Quatre/|cFFFF4400Damage"] If you wanted to apply this effect to more than one theme, you'd have to add a dependency for each of those themes, and duplicate the code for changing the graphic, for each theme.

danltiger A Murloc Raider   Forum posts: 7 File comments: 1266 Uploads: 21	A few things about Tidy Plates 6.5: The Hub system core has been significantly updated, and uses a totally different set of saved-settings. You'll have to reconfigure your theme settings. On the bright side, there are a few new features that you might want to explore. For example: Dynamic Threat Mode (Detects your tanking Stance/Aura), Enemy Healer warning, new Spotlight Modes, new Color Modes, and the usual assortment of bug fixes. Please look through the new options; I'll happily answer any questions. :-) __________________ Author Portal Tidy Plates, Tidy Threat, and Tidy Bar

Always stay on red color. . But only is this chars, on my shaman and hunter is normal. Problem solved: there a option in wow interface that show class color in nameplates, this need be marked on, i forget that. I can change the settings in options, but nothing happens on nameplates in game. I don't tested with Neon cuz i deleted him. Last edited by the_sober : 12-27-2011 at 09:25 AM.

danltiger A Murloc Raider   Forum posts: 7 File comments: 1266 Uploads: 21	Re: No bars for enemy players. Hi Drey, Looks like you're in Dalaran, from the pic. I think that enemy players don't get a nameplate in sanctuary zones, which would explain the oddity. (It's a blizz client thing, not Tidy Plates) Originally posted by Drey I'm just starting to use nameplates (yeah, I know. No excuse for that) and I love this addon but I've got a really odd problem here. I do not get any bars over enemy players. Current keybindings are: V - show enemy name plates Shift+v - show friendly name plates Ctrl+V - show all name plates When I have all name plates on (control+v) I don't see any enemy bars. I see npc friendly, npc enemy and friendly but no enemy. I'm pretty sure it's a pebkac but for the life of me I cannot figure out what is wrong. The below is a link to a screenshot I took. [url] As you can see everyone except the troll (on the bear) and the orc (on the broom) have bars. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! quick edit. I first installed V6.4.6 and had the exact same issue so I upgraded to V6.4.6 (r355). The picture I linked to is V6.4.6 (r355). Thanks again! One last edit. Just another quick screen shot to show that now there is a enemy npc in view with a red bar but still none on the troll on the bear. [url] Thanks cubed! __________________ Author Portal Tidy Plates, Tidy Threat, and Tidy Bar
