Thanks I used the setcolor code. This looks much better way of doing it.

I don't understand what you mean with the overwriting. Do you have a screenshot?

Nice work though, but I'm going to have to turn that feature off for now.

If I could adjust the way the clickable region worked, I would, however I can't.

As for this:

Code:

 if not plate.NameText then OnInitialize(plate) end

 local c = db.name.color
 if db.options.showName then

   local st = unit.name:lower()
   -- local color = "|cFF00FF00" -- green
   local color = "|cFFFFFF00" -- yellow
   if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then
     unit.name = color .. unit.name
   end

  plate.NameText:SetText(unit.name)
 else
  plate.NameText:SetText(nil)
 end

Should be this:

Code:

 if not plate.NameText then OnInitialize(plate) end

 local c = db.name.color
 if db.options.showName then

   local st = unit.name:lower()
   -- local color = "|cFF00FF00" -- green
   local color = "|cFFFFFF00" -- yellow
   if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then
    
     st = color .. unit.name
   end

  plate.NameText:SetText(st)
 else
  plate.NameText:SetText(nil)
 end

You could also just change the SetTextColor and that would be much safer:

Code:

local c = db.name.color
local st = unit.name:lower()
if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then
	plate.NameText:SetTextColor(1, 1, 0) -- Yellow
else
	plate.NameText:SetTextColor(c.r, c.g, c.b)
end

This won't break anything since i'm setting unit.name a new value?

Code:

 if not plate.NameText then OnInitialize(plate) end

 local c = db.name.color
 if db.options.showName then

   local st = unit.name:lower()
   -- local color = "|cFF00FF00" -- green
   local color = "|cFFFFFF00" -- yellow
   if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then
     unit.name = color .. unit.name
   end

  plate.NameText:SetText(unit.name)
 else
  plate.NameText:SetText(nil)
 end

Re: Problem with Threatplates

Originally posted by Dope
hey,

I got a little problem with threat plates and I just cant figure out what im doing wrong.

I have tidyplates installed, neon plates aswell for another look.
This is the problem.

I log on, the wow asks me politly to switch over to Threat plates and reloads my UI. Then i set it to "tank mode" ...I start tanking. The bars stay red all the time with the "explosion graphics next to it" and it stays red. Even tho i got aggro all the time.

I then started to tank stupid and lose aggro on purpose to see if anything would change. Nothing...the plates stay red all the time...

Did I miss something in settings ? I have reseted the addon (in profile tab) more then once...I used the "color health by threat" ...still same.

I hope you can help me out, cause i really like this addon !

Grtz Dope

You probably just need to double check if your default threat settings are turned on to "always".

The way these nameplates work is by the default nameplate threat glows, so these won't function without working glows.

To ensure they're currently on and working follow these steps:
1. Press ESC on your keyboard and click on interface.
2. Click on the "Game" tab at the top left of the options window.
3. Click on "Display".
4. Locate the "Display Aggro Warning" dropdown and select "Always"

This should ensure that your aggro warnings are always on and working.

This problem will be fixed with the next version of Threat Plates.

This unfortunately doesn't seem like a feature I'd like to implement. The amount of time to create the system to make that functional would not be enjoyable and the majority would probably not use it.

Originally posted by galvin
2. Healthbar background, right now as the health gets low theres no darker background behind it. Maybe this could get an alpha setting for background so you can set it just how you want it. It's always easier to read healthbars when they have backgrounds. Actually this is probably not needed if there is a way to make the healthbar brighter.

Due to the way nameplates overlap having multiple background colors overlapping each other would ultimately result in the darkening of other nameplates. By leaving the background "empty" even though there is a slight background that you may not notice, You can see through to other nameplates, which (in my opinion) is more "legible".

Originally posted by galvin
3. Assigns different colors to a list of names and have those names appear in different color in the name text.

With the merger of Clean Plates and Threat Plates there is going to be a "special" nameplate for certain designated mobs such as your usage of adherents and fanatics and their transformations.

Originally posted by galvin
4. Theres no way to change width/height of the name plates.

While changing the height and width is doable, the responsive mouseover area can not be changed and even though you may be moused over the texture, it won't be reactive.

Originally posted by galvin
5. Nameplate health bars are too dark. Be nice if there is a slider to set how dark/light you want the bar to be.

The reason why this could be is that the texture you are innately using is shaded in a very dark grey(since all textures for statusbars are grey). I will be introducing custom health bar coloring with the next version, which could alleviate your problem.

Originally posted by galvin
Also if possible is there an LUA edit I can do to change how dark the healthbars are?

There is no way to create textures on the fly with lua in a manor that would suffice.

I been playing with the change in 5mans, I can spot mob names so much easier now.

For my own use I made the adherent mobs appear in green text. Here is the code snippit I used to do this:

Code:

local function SetSpecialText(unit) local st = unit.name:lower() local st2 = "" local color = "|cFF00FF00" -- green if st == "cult adherent" or st == "empowered adherent" or st == "reanimated adherent" then st = color .. unit.name else st = unit.name end return st end

But my other question, is there a way to disable the rectangle on mouse over? I take it this is the glowtexture under the healthborder theme.

Yea just put it to .."Empty" instead
