Nameplates Modifier

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)

Forum posts: 387 File comments: 2513 Uploads: 83	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.

Shadowed ... Forum posts: 387 File comments: 2513 Uploads: 83	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.

So why not add an option to make it disable targetting completely?

Couldn't you do both? There are times where there's a lot of nameplates on the screen and you don't want want to click on any of them.

Shadowed ... Forum posts: 387 File comments: 2513 Uploads: 83	BTShrump: I'm pretty sure another addon is causing this, disable everything except Nameplates and SSUI, if that fixes it then let me know all the addons you have installed and i'll take a look at it. secutanudu: I'm pretty sure it's related to the same bug that shows casting bars sometimes when you target people, not really sure another way to fix it. daeger: Because I try to avoid unneeded features, or unneedly duplicating something when it's something small and/or not a major request.

phoenyx A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Can't get casting bars to show EDIT: I wasn't able to see the casting bars. Originally thought that the mod created its own casting bars, however after the post realized I needed to turn on WoW's interface option "Show Enemy Casting Bar - Name Plate". Well, I'll turn this into a feature suggestion then. I'm wondering if it would be possible to include casting bars on all nameplates, WoW's default one only turns on if they're your current target. I'd also love to see text of the spell name instead of the cast time, as an additional text option. Also, no idea what kind of control you get over the nameplates, but an option to not show critter nameplates would be nice. Also, again not sure if you can do this, but an option when "show name plates" is checked in wow options to not show nameplates for PVP targets that aren't flagged.

Shadowed ... Forum posts: 387 File comments: 2513 Uploads: 83	Technically we could make our own casting bars, but we don't get any data except for our targets so we have to check combat log, then you run into issues with positioning for same named mobs, and it just becomes more of a hassle then it's worth. We can't figure out the difference between a hostile mob, hostile player and a pvp flagged player, only reason that Nameplates PVP can get enemy class is it records it when you mouse over them, but that wont work for PvP flagging. BlackZam: It's coming back, but need to rework it so the messages make more sense.
