New nameplate cvars!

[Saiket]

Not sure if these exist on live, but I had never seen them before:

• bloattest - (Disabled) "bloattest makes nameplates larger 1.0 + x"
• bloatnameplates - (Disabled) "bloatnameplates makes nameplates larger depending on threat %"
• spreadnameplates - A new version of the "don't allow overlapping nameplates" option that smoothly shuffles nameplates around. Makes keeping track of a plate in the middle of a pack much easier, but the effect seems a little too rubbery for me.
• bloatthreat - Makes nameplates larger depending on gaining/losing threat. Only active when a mob has multiple units on its threat table.

Looks like _VirtualPlates is going to need an overhaul...

bloatnameplates - "bloatnameplates makes nameplates larger depending on threat %"

No, it isn't. Perhaps you're using no-script and haven't allowed worldofwarcraft.com as a trusted domain. Much like the armory, it's an xml page that relies on an xml style sheet and heavy scripting.

ROTFLMAO


Too funny!

spreadnameplates makes the nameplates smoothly float to their new position instead of instantly jumping around. The plate of the target is not static (it should be).
It's pretty much useless atm, since they tend to overlap too much. They also sometimes do not update correctly, feels like a beta version . It could work well with my custom nameplates, but yeah...

Yeah, they have a bug where if you move your camera around quickly, some plates just get stuck in place on the screen. It seems like they turned this cvar on by default in one of the recent builds though.

Do you have a link to the info, and where you found this out?

I just spotted it in the console "help default" listing. The quoted descriptions are from "help bloattest" and "help bloatnameplates".
