KuiNameplates Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 178

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;

Quick note, beta version for the 5.3 PTR is up on Curse if anyone's interested in that. Should also work on 5.3 release day if I don't manage to post it on time.

in my custom.lua

I suspect that was because you didn't completely restart WoW after updating the addon - you have to restart wow when new files are added and invalid/non-existant textures show up as green boxes. So, assuming you've.. restarted wow since you posted the comment. Which I expect you have. It should work now.

I think its called "bloat" in TidyPlates.
The highlight is nice but the blue glow is not enough for me see my target especially in pvp.

lol

I said this to make it clear to the author what i mean its not about copying code. ;-)

I was chuckling at the "bloat". Which is a fair point, I admit. (I honestly found it really funny. Gotta be able to laugh at yourself, right? ;-) Call it a cautionary tale; It's much harder to take away features than it is to say, "Sorry, that's not in the scope of this project".

Shouldn't cause any problems. All that code's going away in the 5.3 update anyway so I'll wait until then to "fix" it.

Could u please look at it?

Do you have TidyPlates installed? I believe the default theme is a nicer Blizzard lookalike, so it could be that. If not, try disabling all other addons, see if it works. Then you can re-enable them to try to track down which could be causing it.

The code handling health bar colour is a bit messy at the moment but it should be easier once I've done this rewrite (probably soon after 5.3). It'd be a pretty big change to paste here, as it is.

Is it possible to add an option to show the targeted nameplate bigger than the others?

Possibly. That might be a hidden default cvar actually (I'd still need to add support for it if it was), I know there are/were a few for threat that did that.

Please make an option to make the alpha of all text 100%

Easy.

Also the red chastbar of not brakeable casts is very hard to differ from the red nameplate

It'd be simple to make an option for that so I probably will. Also want an option for castbar height at some point.

btw do you plan to let ppl translate the options? I woud make the german one

Not particularly, because I can't reliably test anything except engb. If I did it well (i.e. used the ace localisation libraries properly) it shouldn't really cause any problems, but there's a chance it could just break entirely for one particular localisation and I'd never know.

Thanks!

SRCarebear A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 26 File comments: 31 Uploads: 2	This is the sort of nameplate I've been looking for! The only issue I have at the moment is the threat. Is there any way you could add in colors for High Threat and Low Threat as well as Has Threat? I've tried messing with the code in the layout.lua but after I engage in combat the nameplate just returns to reaction colors. tl;dr When out of combat, reaction colors When in combat, HasThreat = Red, HighThreat = Yellow, Low/NoThreat = Green I'm okay with just code help, I'm not too fussed about in-game configuration. Many thanks

Tonyleila A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 146 File comments: 931 Uploads: 26	Love how you solved the target problem only noticed that the small nameplates have the same sitze texture so that its longer than the nameplate Please make an option to make the alpha of all text 100% (castbar text and the bottom heath text). Also the red chastbar of not brakeable casts is very hard to differ from the red nameplate (I think the shild is enoth) - so I always lua edit the castbar to gray like the normal castbar. Last thing is the raidicon I always change size from 20 to 16 because I think right now its oversized btw do you plan to let ppl translate the options? I woud make the german one __________________ Author of: LeilaUI and Aurora: Missing Textures __________________ Last edited by Tonyleila : 04-27-13 at 11:39 AM.
