From your description, it sounds like things are working properly. If you've got the automation set to "Show During Combat", then they'll get turned on during combat, regardless of their previous state. It's doing what it says it'll do. There seems to be a bug regarding this addon. Whenever it's set on "Show during combat, hid...

Re: Health bar colors
Posted By: danltiger
Try this: 1. Set your Health Bar Color to "By Health". 2. Under 'Style', set 'Enemy Nameplates' to 'Headline Mode'. 3. Under 'Headline Mode', set 'Text Color' to "By Reaction" This will give you the gradient on friendly health bars, and make the enemy nameplates a bit less obtrusive. Tidy Plates provides the off-target c...

Re: Plate Visiblity
Posted By: danltiger
You want to use Neon for Enemy PCs, and the Blizz graphics for everything else? The simple answer is, No; It's not possible with the bundled themes It's theoretically possible if someone were to design a Tidy Plates theme using the Blizz graphics. Is it possible to disable the add-on for everything aside from enemy players...

First, use /hub... - Under the Opacity category, click "Bring Casting units to Target Opacity". - Under Scale, click "Bring Casting Units to Spotlight Scale". Cheers! Pretty impressive right out of the box. What an upgrade from default.. Anyways, I would love to be able to create a filter for displaying enemy players...

Posted By: danltiger
Hi Artiq, When the debuff widget or cast warning monitor scans the combat log, it can figure out if the source and destination units are players (there's a bit-flag). Since player names are unique, we can use the name to match an event with a nameplate, so GUIDs aren't even necessary. The debuff widget (theoretically) works...

No clue, right now. There might be another texture layered in somewhere unexpected. I did change up what you side regarding textures and it worked, but it looks like it does not hide the background for the toons that have "stance" bars per say.

Re: Friendlies
Posted By: danltiger
Yes; You'll want to set your nameplate style under the Style category (in the Hub configuration panel) to 'Text Plates' ( called Headline mode in the beta version). Just below, you'll see another drop-down menu titled, "Name Color: Text-Only Style". The beta version makes quite a few changes to the configuration panel, so you'l...

Hey Bigfella, Shootin' from the hip; Try using the :SetTexture() function instead of :Hide(). The goal is to set the object to an empty texture. You can either create a small, transparent .tga file, or snag one from another addon. (There's one in the TidyPlates\media folder) You'd use it like this: MainMenuBarTexture0:SetTex...

The beta versions are not fully tested. Look under the 'Changes' tab to see the new stuff. There's going to be a lot more changes real soon. :-) What is the different between beta and nonbeta? Sry if this question is coming often, but I can't find anything :/

Posted By: danltiger
The gloss effect is provided by the overlay/border file, which you could edit. (I'd suggest something like, The GIMP, which handles TGA alpha channels pretty well) You could then use the Blizzard bar artwork for the health bar texture. It sounds like you've got a good idea on how to do this, but if you need some specifics, I can...

The colors are loaded right from Blizzard's own RAID_CLASS_COLORS table. is there a way to have the real class colors in tidyplates? i'd rather use them instead of that oversaturated neon colorscheme.

Posted By: danltiger
Perhaps your keybinding is different. Try going into 'Interface > Names'. You'll find some nameplate options. You can use the checkboxes to control visibility. It might help for me to see what you're seeing; If you could post a screenshot, it'd clear things up. hmmm it toggles from everyone to just players. seems like I can...

Yes; Hit your 'V' key. (You might have to hit it again; It toggles "Turn on just Enemy Nameplates") is there a way to remove player plates in dungeons? it becomes a hassle having them in the way of a lot of enemy mobs

Your pseudocode is pretty much correct, but we often want to see both buffs and debuffs (so we can dispell). I need to implement some way of easily distinguishing the types. There's other complications, too. I plan to offer two more categories; Gladiator (for pvp), and Healer <...> as well. I don't have a timeline; It gets done...

Posted By: danltiger
I plan to offer two more categories; Gladiator (for pvp), and Healer. Rather than adding a whole slew of new themes, I will be consolidating the theme choices to, Damage, Rank, Gladiator, and Healer. You'll select the bar style (Neon, Grey, etc) within the Hub. Otherwise, the theme list gets even more confusing. Adding buff/ho...

Look for "Warning Border/Glow", and set the mode to None. is there a way to hide the spiky art around the neon bars? I used to have it set up like this but can't find the option for the life of me. Thanx.

Hub > Color > Health Bar Color > None ...turns off context coloring. By default, Tidy Plates is set to "By Threat", which colors the mobs based on their aggro/threat state. Those colors can be modified by scrolling down to the 'Threat' category. How do i make it so all enemy bars are red all the time and all friendly bars...

Which version are you using? What theme? How are you installing/re-installing? Via client software, or are you manually decompressing the files to your Addons folder? The reason I ask: The errors you've posted refer to code which is different from the current release, which suggests that you've got some out-of-date files. how...

Re: Namplate range fading
Posted By: danltiger
Not quite sure what you're asking, but here's a few things to note: When a unit goes out-of-range, its nameplate gets closed by the internal WoW engine. Tidy Plates has no control over this, and no warning. When a unit comes within range, the internal WoW engine creates a nameplate, which Tidy Plates detects and modifies wit...
