Looking for help.

[blkdrgn]

Hello, I am looking to have very very minimal nameplates.

I have permission from an author to modify however i cannot figure out a few things in the lua. If anyone is interested in helping me , please send me a PM for more details..

Thank you.

Generally if you want help with code, the best thing to do is post the code, and explain what you're having trouble with. Everyone who reads/posts on these forums does so as a hobby in their spare time. Not only is it unlikely that you'll find someone who wants to provide free private one-on-one programming tutoring, but taking things like this to private messages defeats the whole point of having a forum community in the first place.

That makes sense.

I will get the exact lines here in a bit..

Basically what I am trying to do is strip down these nameplates to a bear minimum. I am trying to get rid of the cast bar/class icons/different values for bars (one bar color for all), anything that is not a health bar.


I have already removed a lot of things, but now its at the point where the two things I am trying to remove i can not. I am trying to learn more lua as I go, but I am down to missing ends, and things that I simply cannot figure out.

Well, you can get rid of the cast bars by simply turning off the "Show cast bars on nameplates" option in the default UI.

To get rid of the class icon, just delete all the parts that refer to it:

	local classicontexture = frame:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
	classicontexture:SetPoint("BOTTOM", healthBar, "TOP", 0, 10)
	classicontexture:SetTexture("Interface\\WorldStateFrame\\Icons-Classes")
	classicontexture:SetWidth(40)
	classicontexture:SetHeight(40)
	frame.icon = classicontexture

self.icon:SetTexCoord(ClassIconTexCoord(r, g, b))

local function ClassIconTexCoord(r, g, b)
	class = GetClass(r,g,b)
	if not (class==0) then
		local texcoord = CLASS_BUTTONS[class]
		if (texcoord) then
			return unpack(texcoord)
		end
	end
	return 0.5, 0.75, 0.5, 0.75
end

local function GetClass(r, g, b)
	local r, g, b = floor(r*100+.5)/100, floor(g*100+.5)/100, floor(b*100+.5)/100
	for class, color in pairs(RAID_CLASS_COLORS) do
		if RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r == r and RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g == g and RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b == b then
			return class
		end
	end
	return 0
end
