Threat Plates

Version: 12.0.9, Classic: 12.0.9

by: suicidalkatt, Blacksalsify

Threat Plates (TP for short) is a addon for customizing your nameplates. It offers a high amount of customization and tweaks to how your nameplates react and look. It also offers some unique features that are not available with any other nameplate addon. I've spent a considerable amount of time improving this addon and any comments or concerns about this addon are appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to improve this addon.

Features:

SharedMedia support and many, many, options for name, health, level, and spell text. As well as all of the standard nameplate features such as castbar and icon, elite icons / textures, skull icons / textures, raid marks, and healthbar coloring/alpha/scale.
Ace3 profiling.
Low memory footprint.
Threat system management.
Automatic talent detection and role assigning for an easy out of the box setup.
Customizable widgets.
Customizable totem nameplates.
Customizable nameplates for extra customization for specifically named units.

Commands:

/tptp - Displays options.
/tptptoggle - Toggle Role from one to the other.
/tptpdps - Toggles DPS/Healing threat plates.
/tptptank - Toggles Tank threat plates.
/tptpol - Toggles nameplate overlapping.
/tptpverbose - Toggles addon feedback text.

Additional Information:

A considerable amount of information about options and its internal priorities are not gone into details. Most options that are enable or disable based will toggle off options that are no longer changeable once enabled or disabled. If you have any questions about options and what they do, feel free to leave a comment or PM me here for more information.

H0PE A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 28 File comments: 299 Uploads: 1	TLR: came back to wow just now, did you manage to fix the crazy overlapping of the nameplates and can I use your addon in a way to "stack" them above/around each other when there is a gazillion mob in one place? My one and only biggest issue with all addons and default nameplates is that like on your first screenshot completelly shows: The nameplate stacking. It is many times impossible to actually get the many information that you work on so hard with buffs and extra colors, just hinders it useless that they stack to each other, in dozens of plates and you can't see, can't select. Makes me really frustrating honestly. Yes I'm aware of stacking/overlapping option, it doesn't do sh!t. Only plater managed to do some level of separation in the past but that was really minimal difference.

There is currently no option for that. Every now and then, I am thinking about it and testing it, but the performance impact seems to heavy to implement it currently. Until I find a good solution, that is.

There is a version for the PTR available here: https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/issues/218 (see last post). It should work on the beta servers as well, although I cannot test it.

Hi Baha, the castbar actually should always have been behind the healthbar - that's how it's meant to be. I always wanted to add like a flexible layering, but did not yet find the time to do that.

I don't read this comment section that often - I always forget about it - so sorry for this late reply.

Thank you again.

So weird that I did not see this post earlier.

Thanks a lot, Daamd. It's always great to hear when someone likes the addon. Also, it is interesting to see that you use the arrow target highlight. I am currently trying out new textures for this as the current ones seem a little bit low resolution. Also, you will be able to move and scale the arrow textures

as for help with nameplate code, honestly best to just reach out to kesava on dbm discord or something. he wrote it for DBM (and kuinameplates)

Yeah, ran into the GetPoint error now myself

Just should have copied your code ...

And forget about that enrage issue - I forgot that I addded the nameplate aura code there myself for testing purposes

I was already able to add the necessary code to TP (with the help of your code - never created a line before

). I probably will add some options like line thickness and integrate it into 9.1.6 after some testing.

Bare in mind I just had some fixes done to lines in latest DBM alpha.

Also, what I noticed while testing my implementation of it: I did that testing by using the enrage mobs in Atal'Dazar and changing the DBM code to show a line when the enrage aura is shown.

In that code, there is no SPELL_AURA_REMOVED code which results in the enrage aura never being hidden even if the buff is dispelled. Is that on purpose?

Hm, ok, looking at the changes since 8.1.14, I am not sure how read them.

You overwrote function GetPoint for line, but you never use it? Was there some kind of side effect somewhere else?

What I am currently not sure is how many lines are supported at a single nameplate. I assume only one. That's how I do it in Threat Plates. The BossMod widget can display several auras, but only one line - multiple ones will overwrite each other. Basically, because the line is anchored to the nameplate, not the aura icon.

The code in AuraFrame_RemoveAura with parent_icon: Is it there so that you don't remove the line if several auras are shown, but only one is shown with a line (and that's not the one which is removed)?

As they removed friendly nameplates in instances, I would not be suprised at all if they disable nameplate addons in instances in general. I was already able to add the necessary code to TP (with the help of your code - never created a line before ).

Addline, and line color. if addline true, in addition to the nameplate icon over nameplate, nameplate mod should draw a line between the nameplates self.parent and center of screen (basically UIParent center). so basically a line between player and nameplate. the color arg would be a RGB, alpha table. Jaina, conclave and ghuun already use feature in latest dbm release.

Thanks for this information. I'll take a look at it. Not sure what's the purpose of it, but don't you think that Blizzard will try to ban that? It sounds way to much like what AVR did.

it's tough to say weak auras are already doing it though. the biggest thing about this though is that in past blizzard has blocked things that blocked addons from automatic positioning. positioning and distance between players, positions in room etc. Basically anything that attempted actual room geography. This literally just helps you locate an already existing nameplate that's on your screen. It doesn't provide access to room geography such as showing a line to a place in room or to another player or to anything off screen. It's literally just a visual to help you find something quickly within your screen clutter.

I'm not even sure how they would break it without disabling hostile nameplates in dungeons/raids too and that would definitely not go over well with users. But then again this is company that removes portals despite overwhelming feedback to contrary so you never know.

As for purpose, just watch any mythic jaina stream or video for one example. Although the more popular example you'll see in DBM is for enemies fixating on you.
