KuiNameplates Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 228

by: Kesava [More]

Prettier, pixel-perfect nameplates with auras. Configurable through interface options (open with /knp or /kuinameplates).

Class colours on hostile players can be enabled in the default interface options, under "Names" - check "Class Colors in Nameplates" at the bottom right.

If you're having issues with nameplates being in incorrect locations or being unclickable, first try unchecking the "Fix aliasing" option in configuration.

More up to date versions can often be found on Curse. Please try using that version before reporting a bug.

Current features:

All of the default nameplate features
Pixel perfect!
Auras!
Combo points
Tank mode - recolour health bars when you have threat (enable by checking "Enable tank mode" in options)
Customisable display of health for friendly or enemy units
Pretty fading in/out of frames (disable by unchecking "Smoothly fade" in options)
Automatic toggling of nameplates when you enter or exit combat (enable by checking "Auto toggle in combat" in options)
Cast & incoming healing warnings, useful for PVP (disabled by default, check "Show cast warnings" in options)
Configuration profiles

Health display patterns:
The text to display for health on different frames is determined by two simple patterns: one for friendly frames and one for neutral and hostile frames. These patterns can be changed in the options dialog (/knp). They must make use of specific conditions and results, in the following format:

condition1:result1;condition2:result2;condition3:result3;

There must be at least one condition (and one result). Any other conditions are optional.

Possible conditions are:

"=" When the unit is at maximum health...
"<" When the unit's health is less than maximum...
"=<" When the unit's health is either less than maximum or at maximum...

Possible results are:

"m" ... Display their maximum health (i.e. 123.4k).
"d" ... Display their health deficit (i.e. -46.5k).
"p" ... Display their health percentage.
"c" ... Display their current health (i.e. 76.9k).
"b" ... Display nothing.

The patterns used by default are:

Friendly units: =:m;<:d;
Which means:
When the unit is at maximum health:Display their maximum health;
When they're below maximum health:Display their health deficit;

Hostile units: <:p;
Which means:
When the unit is below maximum health:Display their health percentage;

Planned features:

Frame blacklisting
Stuff I can't remember

228
* make auras significantly more reliable
* change tankmode uiname to "Threat", in anticipation of additions to its config page

* add options to change reaction colors
* split "don't fade units at low health" into two seperate options for hostile units and friendly units
* fix "fade all" doesn't work consistently when faded alpha is set to 0%
* fix castbar sometimes fading out on newly shown frames where it was inappropriate
* fix logic error in kui frame fading code which may have caused some problems with repeated frame fading
* add upper limit to name width (using default layout) to prevent ridiculous overflows
* remove kui_nameplates_absorbs because that was nowhere near ready and shouldn't have been pushed anyway, whoops
* bump kui minior

* fix lua error when cast time display is enabled but name is disabled
* reduce name text jiterry-ness using centred layout
* add option to only use frame glow as threat glow (hide it when there's no threat)
* add option to show auras on trivial units

* reposition castwarnings to fit with new layout
* add option to use left-aligned layout, similar to the pre-223 layout (in /knp > general)

* add spark to castbars.
* make castbars fade out rather than instantly disappearing.
* cast time display is now disabled by default.
* change layout of healthbar text; names are no longer truncated.
* change layout of castbar text; spell name is no longer truncated.
* change default font to Expressway Rg Bold. Works better at smaller sizes in WoW.
* change level text for bosses to "Boss".
* remove option to colour unit names. This can be achieved with a small custom.lua modification.
* remove maximum cast time from castbar text (only current time is shown now)
* remove Accidental Presidency from Kui_Media.

Change log for previous versions available on CurseForge.

Thanks! Personally I use my own oUF layout, oUF_Kui. However the version I've uploaded here is woefully out of date and there are modifications to my local version to make it fit more with my own UI, in a way that wouldn't really fit if you used.. any other layout, really.

Second thing, what unitframes do people use with these nameplates?
Or unitframe setup if using something like Shadowed Unit Frames, oUF or Pitbull Unit Frames.

I've browsed the unitframe section here and on curse and I haven't really found anything that seems to fit.

There are things that can be done to sort-of "work around" it, like making custom floating combat text implementations and trying to connect it to the right nameplate.. but that quickly becomes unmanageable. I might play around with it as a plugin, though.

Thanks!

Ahh well, I'll keep an eye out but for now I'll just manage with it-- it doesn't bug me all that much.

Thanks for the response and keep up the awesome work!

The combat text that floats above my target is underneath the plates and I'd like for them to be on top. I tried to find a way to set the combat text to tooltip, but that doesn't seem to be working. I looked around through the lua files for kui but I'm not all that good with code, and only found one instance of strata in the layout.lua, where it looks to be set to 'BACKGROUND.'

Any help on this would be tremendously appreciated, thank you!

Re: Question!

Frame width can't currently be changed reliably. Auras can't be resized without code changes but I've been planning to make configuration for that for.. a while. Might play around with it tomorrow.

Thanks!

Yep, shouldn't be difficult to add. At the moment I believe the threat glow changes colour to orange when you're losing threat, but I can add an option to customize that and expand it to the health bar too.

Thanks for considering it !

yep at the moment the glow changes, but with a high number of plates + high res and during intense fights, its quite hard to spot ^^

Triksterism A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 15 Uploads: 0	After using Tukui/ElvUI since later WOTLK I've finally swapped to a different UI (RealUI) which comes with this addon. So far I love it. It's very sleek and sexy. My only issue with it seems to be the lack of a "filter" feature like ElvUI nameplates and Tidy Plates seem to have. This is a very handy feature for raiders, it allows you to add names to a list and have their plates be hidden or have their plate color be different and a larger scale (useful for banners in SoO as well as mind controls on Heroic Sha and Garrosh). Is there a way to obtain this functionality or is it already planned?

Edit: so after doing a few BGs I think I know what the problem is. I'll -try- to have it fixed in the next version (relative from the current version on curse, of course).

A few people have also documented the same problems here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...y-players-(PvP) Any chance of a fix? Thanks heaps for your addon, I love it except for this small problem!

Weird. Tried it again and it seems to work on some classes in PvP. For instance hunters. :s

Probably something wrong with my setup somehow.
