6.3.4 should correct all of those errors, hopefully. The silly thing is that I played all of last weekend and didn't encounter those errors, so I decided to upload. I didn't think that the internal api functions/events would be sending so much bad data. But I'll be looking more closely at internal verification of data from her...

That's a better way of doing it. 6.3.3 did address the issue, by changing line 550 to: CurrentDebuff.name = GetSpellInfo(tonumber(spellid) or 0) Of course, none of this addresses the underlying issue of, "Why are crappy values in my tables?"

Re: Class Colored Friendly Nameplates
Posted By: danltiger
Class coloring is available in specific situations. For enemy units, the coloring is available when they are flagged. (and, by extension, BGs and arena) Friendly unit class coloring is available for characters in your group (party or raid). Tidy Plates does not yet have a caching system for other situations. Originally pos...

Dunno what to do about that; The widget does not have an internal database. Aura durations are sourced from the Blizz API, and cached for situations where the widget cannot use the usual API functions. Originally posted by Kramarz A correction needed I think, hunters freezing trap widget = 1 min, not 2 ;-)

I'd noticed a few instances, while leveling, where a spawned mob would not have a nameplate. We could try filing some tickets, and see if Blizz responds. They're obviously aware that many people rely on nameplates. Even the default ones. Issues like these remind me of the importance of having other sources of information, such...

Just for clarification, they aren't showing for certain mobs, right? Is there a common element to the units that don't appear? (ex. Spawned during and encounter) Also, I hear that you're supposed to kill some Smoldering/Blazing Elementals during a trash encounter in the Firelands raid. Apparently, the name change happens while...

You'd have to open up the lua file for the theme that you're using and change the .show property of the .name element to 'false'. Originally posted by rashkaldo hi, how can i disable "the nametext" on the nameplates? i know the only way is through coding, but iam not a coder :/..

There's no easy fix. Wait, I take that back; The easy fix is to ditch combat text. ;-) Originally posted by Erinome Hello Just started to use tidy plates and its awesome addon so thanks for that.

Re: Re: My plates dissapears
Posted By: danltiger
Under what conditions does this happen? What situations? List as many specific circumstances as you can think of. (This counts for anyone else having this problem) We need to figure out if this issue is caused by a faulty opacity or scale function vs a problem with the engine.

I have not encountered this error during my own use. Any additional information that you can provide would be helpful. I'm wondering where those CompactRaidFrames fit into all of this, since there's no reason why Tidy Plates would touch those frames. If anyone can provide an easily repeatable method of reproducing this issue, t...

Re: Guild/npc roles

It doesn't do guild names, but NPC roles are displayed when using the text-only nameplates. Originally posted by vengfulr3ap3r Hi! Alrighty, first of all I wanted to say I really love this addon. So much nicer then the default name plates. I've looked through all the options in both the damage/tank settings. but I just cant figu...

You'd have to futz with the widget creation function to adjust the scale. Tidy Plates Hub, functions.lua, I think... Originally posted by drorzzz Hi, I've been trying to make the class icon smaller, but i cant find a size editing option in the LUA, am i just missing it?

I don't have plans to alter the appearance of any of the current themes. You can tweak your own copy by editing the LUA, however. You'd have to find the folder of the theme that you're using, and open up the .LUA file. Next, edit the .flags for the text fields (.name, .level, .customtext) from "NONE" to "OUTLINE". Originally...

Posted By: danltiger
I won't go into the tech too much, but it's not really possible. Addons can't create nameplates, they just alter the existing graphics. Since Blizz removed nameplate generation of your own pet and totems, there's no way to create them. And, the nature of secure frames, makes the whole alteration of the clickable aera impos...

Unfortunately, we can't do that; The clickable region is locked. Originally posted by cerbul I would like to make a request about the moving up and down of the nameplate graphics: Can you also move the "selection area" where I have to click to select that mob according to the visual position of the nameplate?

You're not going blind ;-) ... I corrected the title after your post. r284 (Just uploaded this morning) now works on 4.1, and will work on the 4.2 PTR if you click "Load Out of Date Addons". At least, that's the plan. Some things seem like a better idea at 4am than they do at 8am. Oh sweet coffee, brew faster. Original...

That's correct. The update for 4.2 Live will contain the other themes. Originally posted by Namtab last update 6.3.0 (R278) only has tidyplate_quatre (skin wise) in the .zip structure where's "neon" & "grey"? this suposed to overwrite a previous release?
