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;

The developer posted a temporary lua file to fix the issue in the comments on Curse, here. I gather they'll put a proper update on Curse soon enough. Thanks!

Could you post the contents/previous contents of your custom.lua? There's nothing in there by default to cause anything like that and I haven't heard that from anyone else.

I can't test code at the moment but adding this in the mod:PostShow function in custom.lua should possibly do what you want:

Lua Code:

frame.health.mo:SetAllPoints(frame.health)
frame.health.mo:SetJustifyH('CENTER')
frame.health.mo:SetAlpha(1)

Or if you want to edit create.lua just drop it at the bottom of the function you quoted and replace "frame" with "f".

Please add filter for nameplates so it blacklists certain mobs, this would be very usefull for Tortos

Planned. Can't promise when though.

Draigars A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 42 Uploads: 1	Hi. Is it possible to not anchor alt health to health? I'd like to place it in the center of the main (i.e. http://puu.sh/2DDLH/084e64a5be.jpg), but it doesn't stay centered when its lenght change, even though justify is center. And I can't display it if its set point doesn't depends on f.health. Code: ------------------------------------------------------------- Alt health text -- function addon:CreateAltHealthText(frame, f) f.health.mo = f:CreateFontString(f.overlay, { font = addon.font, size = 'small', outline = "OUTLINE" }) f.health.mo:SetJustifyH('CENTER') f.health.mo:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', f.health, -53, addon.uiscale and (1/addon.uiscale) or 1) f.health.mo:SetAlpha(1) end Btw if I make changes in the (renamed) custom file, the game get tons of mini-freezes, whereas if I directly modify create.lua there's no problem at all.

For reference, the function which creates the name text is at the bottom of create.lua.

Hah, I had the right region just never the right combination of points. Works perfect! Thanks a bunch, love your addon.

I knew how to do it on old versions cant find how in the new version

Use custom.lua: rename Kui_Nameplates/custom-rename-me.lua to custom.lua, and insert this code (or whatever) after the line: "function mod:PostShow(msg, frame)":

Lua Code:

frame.name:SetPoint('LEFT', frame.level, 'RIGHT', -2, [your y offset])
f.health.mo:SetAlpha(1)

Assuming you have levels enabled. That particular code will break if you don't but I gather you can work that out. You'll also have to restart WoW to get it to recognise the new file, if you didn't already have a custom.lua.

Because I set the parent differently depending on the setting of "fix aliasing", I have to scale everything down/up (i.e. divide it by UIParent:GetEffectiveScale()) in order to make everything look the same size whether fixaa is enabled or not. Specifically, when it's enabled I have to scale sizes up if you have a screen height of, say, 1080. For frame sizes, that's to keep things pixel-perfect - for fonts it's purely to make the size setting consistent, so you don't have to directly change the font scale option if you dis/enable fixaa. I may be able to get rid of all that scaling fuss in the next version, I'm not sure yet.

Custom text offset: yes

Many thanks

Verified. It's been a while, actually. Next version.

Thanks!

Nibelheim local r,o,y,g,b,i,- Forum posts: 1019 File comments: 2279 Uploads: 49	Me again Just wondering about something. What's the philosophy behind the Font Scaling your using? I'm currently using Pixel Fonts in my UI, and to keep the fonts on the Nameplates the correct size across all resolutions I set the Font Scale = (768 * Font Size Difference) / Screen Height. Like so: Lua Code: local kn = LibStub('AceAddon-3.0'):GetAddon('KuiNameplates') local screenHeight = string.match(({GetScreenResolutions()})[GetCurrentResolution()], "%d+x(%d+)") kn.db.profile.fonts.options.fontscale = ceil(((768 * (8 / kn.defaultSizes.font.name)) / screenHeight) * 100) / 100 for key, _ in pairs(kn.defaultSizes.font) do ScaleFontSize(key) end for _, frame in pairs(kn.frameList) do kn.configChangedFuncs.fontscale(frame.kui, kn.db.profile.fonts.options.fontscale) end Perhaps an auto-scaling and default font size option in the future? Just a suggestion __________________ Last edited by Nibelheim : 04-13-13 at 10:55 PM.
