KuiNameplates Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 211

by: Kesava [More]

Prettier, pixel-perfect nameplates with auras. Configurable through interface options (open with /knp or /kuinameplates).

Class colours on hostile players can be enabled in the default interface options, under "Names" - check "Class Colors in Nameplates" at the bottom right.

If you're having issues with nameplates being in incorrect locations or being unclickable, first try unchecking the "Fix aliasing" option in configuration.

Current features:

All of the default nameplate features
Pixel perfect!
Auras!
Combo points
Tank mode - recolour health bars when you have threat (enable by checking "Enable tank mode" in options)
Customisable display of health for friendly or enemy units
Pretty fading in/out of frames (disable by unchecking "Smoothly fade" in options)
Automatic toggling of nameplates when you enter or exit combat (enable by checking "Auto toggle in combat" in options)
Cast & incoming healing warnings, useful for PVP (disabled by default, check "Show cast warnings" in options)
Configuration profiles

Health display patterns:
The text to display for health on different frames is determined by two simple patterns: one for friendly frames and one for neutral and hostile frames. These patterns can be changed in the options dialog (/knp). They must make use of specific conditions and results, in the following format:

condition1:result1;condition2:result2;condition3:result3;

There must be at least one condition (and one result). Any other conditions are optional.

Possible conditions are:

"=" When the unit is at maximum health...
"<" When the unit's health is less than maximum...
"=<" When the unit's health is either less than maximum or at maximum...

Possible results are:

"m" ... Display their maximum health (i.e. 123.4k).
"d" ... Display their health deficit (i.e. -46.5k).
"p" ... Display their health percentage.
"c" ... Display their current health (i.e. 76.9k).
"b" ... Display nothing.

The patterns used by default are:

Friendly units: =:m;<:d;
Which means:
When the unit is at maximum health:Display their maximum health;
When they're below maximum health:Display their health deficit;
Hostile units: <:p;
Which means:
When the unit is below maximum health:Display their health percentage;

Kesava A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 133 Uploads: 3	At the moment I'm playing around with adding auras so I don't have to rely on PlateBuffs (or anything else for that matter). Next update might be a while unless there's a big bug, particularly since I'm levelling now. Just thought I'd say.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I'm guessing MoP changed the nameplates just enough to.. sometimes break. With no apparent reason. Difficult to test properly.

I'd never thought about that. Good point. I'll probably add an option to customise colours (along with reaction/reputation colours since I still need to do that).

Not built in, but you can use PlateBuffs when it gets updated (or check the comments on that page for fan updates).

Sorry, the description was out of date - the slash command only opens the interface now. Everything's been moved there so I've updated the description.

Silly mistake, thanks for letting me know. Fixed in the next upload.

Not at the moment, but I was playing with the idea. I don't think it'll turn up any time soon.

Katallah A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	/knp tank toggle Hi Kesava, After fighting with tidyplates for something like 2 hours as I rebuild my UI... and still having it refuse to look even remotely attractive, it was such a pleasure to stumble across this. I have one minor query on the "/knp tank toggle" slash command. Is this meant to actually toggle the setting or just bring up the settings as if you used "/knp"? If it is meant to toggle the setting (which would be preferable though not a massive issue) then its not working as intended. Cheers, Kat Last edited by Katallah : 09-16-12 at 01:18 AM.

It's the font, yeah. You'll have to replace yanone.ttf in "AddOns\Kui_Media\f\" with a font with cyrillic support. I thought this one did, but apparently not..

It.. might be the font? It shouldn't be. I haven't seen that myself, though. I'll look in to it.

Kesava A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 133 Uploads: 3	It uses my own colours, which are on line ~16 of layout.lua, looks like ths: Lua Code: -- Custom reaction colours ns.r = { { .7, .2, .1 }, -- hated { 1, .8, 0 }, -- neutral { .2, .6, .1 }, -- friendly } Guess I'll add an option to use the default, though. Hadn't really thought about that.

eiszeit A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 129 File comments: 171 Uploads: 9	I am not sure, couldn't test it. But does this nameplates support FACTION_BAR_COLORS for friendly nameplates? Or could you point me in the direction (just the line where to look) where to put it in myself? __________________ LYN.UI • DESTRUCTION IS A FORM OF CREATION.

Kardoxxx A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Great addon! I love the looks of the bars... There are several problems when I use it with the Russian version. 1. All the names are displayed as ??? (I guess it's a problem with fonts... I had it with other addons like Titan Panel and had to install some additional fonts and after that they started displaying everything properly). 2. There is no cast bar. The icon of an ability appears but there is no actual cast bar. Though on one of your screenshots there is a castbar. Can it be again related to the fonts? Any chance you could look into these issues and fix them please? I really would love to use your addon
