I don't see any other nameplate addons.

I'm also using the most recent for both TidyPlates and ThreatPlates This started happening since 3.3.5, first thing I did was to update my mods to see if that was the issue.
Pick up bugsack and buggrabber...

Let me know if you're getting any Lua errors.

The issue seems to happen with my Primary and Secondary spec, as I checked 'None' for my main spec and 'Threat Plates' for my secondary spec and I saw both regular TidyPlates and Threat plates working.

It also just happens to hostile and neutral targets, friendly targets don't seem to be affected.
Do you have any other nameplate mods running?

Could you post a screenshot?

Which version of Tidy Plates are you using?

Hi, im currently having an issue with Threat Plates on my tank, its only happening on this toon and not on any of my other characters and i cannot understand why.

The issue is that on some mobs it applies the threat plates bars which do the scaling and everything that i love, but on some mobs in the same group it applies a basic small nameplate that isn't the right skin or anything and doesn't function at all like threat plates. This bug can also switch targets randomly it seems, one mob that has threat plates can "revert" and one that was bugged can gain the plates.

Tl:dr Its not applying threat plates to every mob in range and its annoying the heck out of me. I have tried everything including a full delete and reinstall of both mods and that didn't fix the issue.


EDIT: I just realized it was a conflicting addon from a bundle i use that got turned on with other "out of date" addons. Ill leave this in case someone else had a similar issue and cant figure it out =p

I have been fooling around with the addon for a few hours now, and its absolutely fantastic.

However, I am missing some options to modify the castbar itself, and not just the casttext. Like being able to position the bar at other places, and a way to disable or change the position of the spell icon. Is it possible already, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks.

Good stuff

I had a quick question. Is there a way to mark other people as tanks? so say if I'm in a 10 or 25 man raid there's usually more than one tank and it'd be nice if another tank grabs aggro for trash that the nameplate would stay small and green (or however people have them set up). Did you ever plan on implementing it? or has it already been and I just missed it?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Just to say, I love this addon. It has made things so much better.

But I do have a question. I'm not sure if it's been asked, and not sure how to do a search through the comments.

Here goes, when tanking and in tank mode, is there a way to have my army of the dead show up as my aggro? I'm farming TOC for a trinket and pop out army in phase two, well at that point there are my ghouls and the black knight's ghouls and everything is just red. One big cluster and it's a little hard trying to see if some of the ones I don't have aggro on are on a another player.

Thanks.

Edit. I just realized that this may not work. I'm thinking because my army of the dead is the same name as somebody else's army of the dead so there might not be a way to tell them apart.

Normally in a 5 man group the amount of threat production per group can be rather small.

In order for these nameplates to function as they do, they use the default nameplate threat glows as an indicator for whether or not you have threat.

This window of "Medium" threat is a rather small one when the amounts of threat per mob only equate to about 50k-60k threat window, where as in 10 / 25 mans this can move up to the 250-350+k threat window based on percentages.

This window cannot be adjusted as it is a game UI mechanic. There is a threat widget which can be turned on to show more accurate levels of threat.

I've tried some things and they looked ok, but soon had some ridiculous flaw that I could not solve.

I've thought about this concept a lot and I've not had the time to really dedicate to the testing and the completion of a way of doing it properly without rendering the addon CPU heavy or memory consuming.
Yeah, I'm not particularly surprised to hear it's crossed your mind. It would be amazing to see it implemented some day, but obviously theory and practice are two very different things. Thank you for the reply - if you ever get a wad of free time on your hands and need someone to test the concept, you know who to ask

You'd have to edit the textures.
