Removing/Replacing the "-RealmName" on the new nameplates

[dankone]

I'd like to start by saying hello and well met to all you beautiful Wow Interface users!
Now, my request is simple. I'd do this myself, but I am a stranger to lua coding, so I can only fail miserably.

As someone who does a lot of PvP, I find it quite irritating to see 10+ enemy player nameplates, all with their realms attached to them, making the whole "simple style" of the new legion nameplates completely go to waste in my eyes.

I would like the "-RealmName" on the enemy player nameplates to be replaced with "(*)" just as it was before Legion, or if that is impossible, I would like it completely removed, just like it is in TidyPlates (the reason I don't use TidyPlates is that for some reason it makes my client very vulnerable to crashes, and also because personal preference I guess).

So if any of you kind souls would help me by making this, what I believe to be a simple addon, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance, hope to hear from some of you soon

I have an addon called nPlates that can do this (and more) or you can download this addon that I made just for you.

This snippet (turn it into an addon with http://addon.bool.no/) or thomasjohnshannon's addon should be what you want
https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-sour...Frame.lua#L503

hooksecurefunc("CompactUnitFrame_UpdateName", function(frame)
    if ShouldShowName(frame) then
        if frame.optionTable.colorNameBySelection then
            frame.name:SetText(GetUnitName(frame.unit))
        end
    end
end)

NameplateColors is also doing this, but probably any nameplate addon will do that
