Well there are problems with PlateBuffs, particularly since the original author seems to have disappeared. So, I am also working on separating code better, for the next update (unless I need to fix stuff for 5.2). Aura support will probably end up being a separate addon included in the download, so you could disable it in such a way that it doesn't use any extra resources, and it doesn't make layout.lua even more.. unwieldy. It's already a lot better.

Question Placement issue

I just downloaded the KUINameplates after using DocsNameplates for a long time and then attempting to try TidyPlates (Which I hated). I think KUI is exactly what I'm looking for, unfortunately I am having an issue with the placement of the nameplates - which I am assuming is just a problem completely of my own as I have seen nothing of it anywhere else. Instead of the standard placement of the plate being above the target on the UI, it instead is placing it quite a bit underneath all units. I'm not sure why this is happening and after about an hour or so of trying to rectify the problem it seems to persist. I'm not exactly computer savy and was just hoping someone could help me out at fixing the problem.

Re: Placement issue

Have you tried unchecking "Fix aliasing" in the /knp options frame, then reloading the UI? I think that -should- fix it.

Just doing that seems to have fixed the problem. I guess I really need to stop setting up my UI right after I get off of work. Thanks so much, love your addon.

Very nice addon but...

Code:
=:m;<:c;<:p;
and
Code:
=<:c;<:p;
and
Code:
=<:c;=<:p;
won't work for some reason.
But
Code:
=:m;<:p;<:c;
and
Code:
=<:p;=<:c;
works

This shoud show:
When unit is maximum health show their maximum health only
When the unit's health is less than maximum show current health at the top
When the unit's health is less than maximum show current % health at the bottom
but only works if % is at top and k is at bottom
-----------------------------------------

1. Woud love to see an option to move/resize the raid markers (even if its only in lua file)
Its overlapping when using together with Plate buffs

2. Also woud be cool if you coud tell me how to remove the alpha/size from castbar text its realy hard to see and I want the 1.5 the same size as the 1.4

Yup, find (as in, CTRL+F) this line in layout.lua:
Code:
frame.bg:SetTexture('Interface\\AddOns\\Kui_Nameplates\\FrameGlow')
And change it to:
Code:
frame.bg:SetTexture(nil)

Those patterns don't work because the patterns only apply to the top health value, not the one underneath. The smaller value is just contextual - that's why it's called contextual in the configuration - as in, it automatically chooses something to display which compliments whatever is currently displayed for the main health value.
I want to change health text configuration so that it doesn't use patterns. It's not really complex enough for that, but it was an easy and quick way to implement it at the time. So when I do that, I'll have a seperate configuration for the "contextual" health display rather than making it automatic, and probably an option to keep it automatic.

I keep forgetting about those. I'll try to have something for it in the next version. For now, find this line in layout.lua:
Code:
frame.icon:SetPoint('BOTTOM', parent, 'TOP', 0, -5)
And change the two numbers. Obviously.

I may be looking at the wrong version. If you don't have a castbar.lua file then this won't help, but I think you should. So find these lines in castbar.lua:
Code:
frame.castbar.curr = kui.CreateFontString(frame.castbar, {
     font = kn.font, size = kn.fontSizes.small, outline = "OUTLINE" })
frame.castbar.curr:SetAlpha(.5)
frame.castbar.curr:SetPoint('TOPRIGHT', frame.castbar.max, 'TOPLEFT', -1, -1)
And change them to:
Code:
frame.castbar.curr = kui.CreateFontString(frame.castbar, {
     font = kn.font, size = kn.fontSizes.name, outline = "OUTLINE" })
frame.castbar.curr:SetPoint('TOPRIGHT', frame.castbar.max, 'TOPLEFT', -1, -1)
I should probably mention that I've made font configuration a lot better in the next version.

Also I just noticed that text is the wrong way round, the current time should be large and the total cast time should be small. Um. Whoops. I'll get that fixed.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help Kesava! Realy like how they look now


Only have noticed a smal bug if you target an other mob while the mob you are targeting is casting the icon gets lost and it only shows a black square instread of the icon on the not targetet mob.

Only one thing I'm missing about the nameplates: Can you please make the Deathknight bloodworm nameplates smaler or even disable them. Also shaman totems woud be cool to have special nameplates.

And noticed one more problem.
The small mini nameplates shoud have NO castbar TEXT since its overlapping when trying to fit under the small nameplates.

The nameplates are not targetable when using any sort of viewport mod. I tested using both Sunn and Leatrix and upon resize to viewport your name plates go below the target and are not interactable.

You mean when you resize the game world too? Just adding floating borders shouldn't have any effect. Resizing the world will break the positioning of the plates when you have "Fix aliasing" checked in the /knp options. Uncheck that and it should work fine. I'll look into supporting resized world frames. I didn't know that was something you could do.

I've been looking at adding blacklisting for a while. Haven't gotten around to it yet, mostly because blizzard usually does a good job of hiding annoying plates. I guess they didn't in that situation.
Can you please make the Deathknight bloodworm nameplates smaller or even disable them. Also shaman totems woud be cool to have special nameplates.
You can disable nameplates for bloodworms by going to interface options > names and unchecking the "Guardians" options under "Unit Nameplates". Guardians aren't really things you ever want nameplates for if you ask me, but like I said above, I'll have blacklisting in at some point. Totem nameplates would be good, I agree.

I unchecked Fix Aliasing and it works now with a scaled viewport.
