I don't see 6.8.3 in the downloads for tidyplates. I see 6.8.2 then it jumps to 6.9. Here's an alternative link: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/tidy-plates/files/107-6-8-3/

Hi i am very curious how swifty made his tidy plates to blizzard model and made the debuffs so big Please help His video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSMwkuqSWOs I don't think that's Tidy Plates. Probably something like Platebuffs.

Looks like you're running PlateBuffs... can you disable it, and retest? 3x invalid key to "next" TidyPlates-6.9.10\TidyPlatesCore.lua:1147: in function Locals: self = { 0 = } (for generator) = =:-1 (for state) = { (null) = @Ti...

Just suggestion...it seems suicudalcat stopped playing and he doesn't support threat panels or his TUSUI UI...so maybe just try to contact him and ask for permission to include threat plates into tidy plates as one addon? I think a lot of peoples like threat plates (me including) and for that reason i can't use headline mode for frie...

Something else just occurred to me... I recall doing some performance testing back in Wrath, and finding that even Blizz's nameplates killed FPS. (Looking for those screenshots) Makes me wonder if they did some optimization that only affects their own frames.

Glad to have you back, Aca! Hey, we're having a bit of a discussion over here regarding nameplate FPS performance: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13674-TidyPlates.html#comments Kesava (of KuiNameplates) has discovered a crazy way of reducing the impact of nameplate addons to FPS... By parenting all of his added fra...

Posted By: danltiger
I'm not sure -why- parenting it improves FPS so much - I'd guess however the client positions the default nameplates isn't very efficient, particularly since they have to be updated every frame. Maybe it iterates through children of them for some reason, meaning addons would have a huge negative impact depending on the number of chil...

Posted By: danltiger
I'm not sure -why- parenting it improves FPS so much If I may interject, I believe that nameplates are capable of updating their position more often than once per frame, and anything anchored to them could be getting updated much more often than usual. This is something that I noticed when trying to anchor a frame to the cursor;...

Posted By: danltiger
is a tidyplates iteration of "Fix AA" in 6.9.9? or not yet? I am noticing i can still boost fps some turning nameplates off with a lot of mobs up, so i suspect you did some of it but not all of it so far? Not yet; 6.9.9 does contain some optimizations to reduce the chance of extraneous back-to-back calls of events, and removes a f...

Posted By: danltiger
I'd expect a single queueing system would be more efficient - I'd probably do that if I were to entirely recode my plates now. But really I made mine with one purpose, entirely for myself. Then I decided to post it here.. and now I want to improve it all the time. The usual. So I'm sure dan nailed the reasoning for it. FPS is most...

Posted By: danltiger
Is there anyway to get tidy plates to display friendly target plate when a player hits a threshold. As a healer i use a healing add on, but as a dps i disable it. So if i want to voidswap as a shadow priest or through healing touch as a frost mage or even the lock's healing spell. I would want friend plate to pop up when my ally is a...

To answer your question; Kui's doesn't seem to parent much dif...

might be able to simplify some code in 5.3 "When using name plates, castbars will now display for all NPCs." that means you can get info from blizzard instead of CLEU or targets/mouseover :) F* yeah!

Posted By: danltiger
Most of the frame-to-frame performance cost comes from the 2D compositing engine, having to drag all of the frames/textures/fontstrings around the screen. This happens even when opacity is 0, which is why the snakes in Gundrak kill performance, unless they are fully hidden. (Disabling the aura widget nets me a few more FPS, even wh...

Re: Need help with specific auras list
Posted By: danltiger
The spell might have a name and ID that is not the same as the original spell. For example: http://www.wowhead.com/spell=55021 You might have to do a couple tests with a unit frame addon. Or, add a line (temporarily) to the aura widget: TidyPlatesWidgets\AuraWidget.lua: Add this, after Line 378 (within the 'Debuffs' loop of...

Not sure why nameplates aren't showing for Target Dummies. Am I blind? Is there a setting that would cause this or is this a bug? :p http://i.imgur.com/AoqhIFv.png Using ThreatPLates~ Grab Tidy Plates 6.8.3 until Threat Plates is updated; it doesn't recognize some of the new data that Tidy Plates is supplying in 6.9

Unfortunately, the API doesn't give us a way to associate mob names with quests.

Re: not working?
Posted By: danltiger
Couple of reasons why Tidy Plates might not show up: 1. A Lua error: Make sure you've got "Show Lua Errors" enabled in Interface > Help 2. Nameplates not shown: Hit "V" or "Control-V" (Don't laugh... folks forget this simple thing) Tidy plates isn't working suddenly. Just started. All I'm seeing is the default blizzard...
