Nameplates Modifier  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r20091227
by: Shadowed [More]

Nameplates Modifier is meant to be a simple, well nameplate modifier. This lets you do basic things, such as hiding the cast and health borders and the elite indicators, as well as changing the status bar texture, text settings of level/names/cast bars can be changed including font, font size, font outline, shadow and all that fun stuff. Includes text inside the health and cast bars, that lets you see things such as, time left, current health, etc etc etc.

This is not going to let you change every single nameplate option.

Slash commands: /nameplates (/np shorthand)

Read the current changes.

Can only make it disable targetting completely and it wont let you click through for targetting, so looking into it more at the moment.

Okay.. I see a beta version has been posted, but.. no targeting fix yet? Not even an option to disable it completely? Why not?

Current changes for NP 2.1.0.

New coloring options for player/raid pets
Moving all localization to a different format of L["Hello"] over L.HELLO.
Moving configuration to be managed by Dongle, this will cause reset configuration this one time.

Fixed background text for casting bars so it'll show up and not just show up as a small 2-3 pixel wide block.

Improved status messages, will display "Friendly name plates enabled/disabled", "All name plates enabled/disabled" or "Enemy name plates enabled/disabled" depending on the binding you use, this will clear up confusion when clicking.

Improved color changing, the goal of the 2.0 was to move name plates to be more event driven so they react to changes and not having to go with a hacky method of checking for updates every 0.25 seconds, this wont work for colors apparently so I had to move from the event driven method to the OnUpdate one.

Show/Hide options, the below are the events that you will be able to set status for name plates, how it'll work is you'll have a drop down next to the events that lets you check "Show enemy name plates" and/or "Show friendly name plates" which will specify what should be visible when the events are fired.

This will also have an option to disable it completely meaning it will not attempt to show or hide them, it'll be set to this by default.

Disable targetting of name plates when a spell needs a target to cast, not sure if this can be done after thinking about it more, but will find out.

PVP/FFA Flagged
Inside a PvP instance (Arenas/Battlegrounds)
Inside a party instance
Inside a raid instance
In combat
Out of combat

It's not possible, you could make a button that casts on the unit "mouseover", mouseover a name plate and then click the button but we can't do click casting.

We don't have access to the frame that handles OnClick/OnEnter/OnLeave for name plates so we can't hijack that and make it use the unitid mouseover, we also can't make our own frame that you can click because then the game sees that frame and it wont set the mouseover unitid.

Because of the in combat restrictions we can't just manually set the unit to that of the party or raid.

Shadowd, you might want to consider some toggles on the general screen, this seems like a recurring question, and for a while it honestly confused me as well.
You can turn it off in general, unless you mean something else.

How the messages are generated is we hook two functions "Show/Hide enemy name plates" and "Show/Hide friendly + neutral name plates".

How the game works is when you press the "Show enemy name plates" key binding it calls "Show enemy name plates" and "Hide friendly/neutral name plates", we then generate the message saying enemy name plates are now enabled and friendly are disabled.

When you press the "Friendly name plates" key binding the game calls "Hide enemy name plates" and "Show friendly name plates" which then generates the message saying enemy are disabled and friendly are enabled.

When you press "All name plates" key binding the game calls "Show enemy name plates" and "Show friendly name plates" which generates the message saying enemy name plates are enabled and friendly are enabled.

I'll see what I can do about making it give better information, but thats why it prints it out how it does.

Any solutions?

I love the add on its great.

My only problem is that I cant activate the friendly nameplates. Every time I try to activate them I get Enemy plates:Enabled Friendly: Disabled.

Any idea whats wrong, or is it supposed to do that?

That's fine, I just hope I won't have to wait for the new version of SSPVP for the complete disable feature. Hopefully it'll be quick enough that you can put it out soon, I'm supposed to pvp a lot with my friends this weekend and it'd be nice to have.
