shNameplates

Version: r9.2

by: shUI [More]

shNameplates
A light-weight and beautiful nameplate addon that works right out of the box!

Why use this addon instead of some of the other famous nameplates? Simple: elegance, ease of use, and efficiency. Other addons similar to shNameplates are extremely "busy" or they are too plain. In some cases, they are highly inefficient when it comes to coding.

Unit Name
Raid Icon
Unit Level (using blizzard code to add difficulty coloring)
PvE coloring (blizzard based) and PvP coloring (class colored based)
Aggro and threat color (with glow overlay)
Castbar, Cast Time, and Spell Icon
Health Text Display (using color gradient for percentage)
Auto toggle on and off when in or out of combat (user set via config.lua)
Lots of config attributes that handle nameplate behavior, colors, fonts, and positioning (user set via config.lua)
Configuration that allows repositioning of the spell and raid icons (user set via config.lua)
Configuration option for TANKMODE (green coloring on aggro) and namecoloring (colors pvp enemy names with their class color) (user set via config.lua - PLEASE see changelog for more details)
Target cast spell names (for both channeled and cast)
Mouse over highlighting
Cool new fade in effects when nameplates appear
Target Unit POWER bar under health frame. SET TO ONLY IN PVP (b/c who cares about mob power at this point in the game)
COMBO points for feral and rogues...AND addition of showing Chi, burning embers, soul shards, holy power, burning embers, etc. (SELF buffs ony)
Now works with Icicle and/or Plate Buffs

NOTE: I want to thank the following authors: Caelian, Tekkub, Luzz, and Rothar. Especially Caelian, b/c I have based this addon to his famous addon caelNameplates

To this:

frame.healthBar, frame.absorb, frame.castBar = frame.barFrame:GetChildren()

If you have a new modified files ，I hope you can send me ，please~， and can you tell me ,why
the healthBar is very small，What should I do to make it bigger。My email address is [email protected]
Thank you!

Blizzard added support for castbars for all units, no longer limited to current target (bout time). Does need an update in that respect.

Gragagrogog A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Well... it seems like this fix only works if the plates are created out of combat. In combat it will throw: "AddOn shNameplates attempted to call a protected function (<unnamed>:SetScale()) during combat lockdown."

Also for the only show in combat not working all the time correctly. __________________ Honestly, I think the world's going to end bloody. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't fight. We do have choices.

I've noticed this on Monolit's nameplates (downloadable from MonoUI) as well so maybe it's a default ui issue.
