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;

It shows health for friendly units (max at full, deficit when they've taken damage) and percent for unfriendly units, only when they've taken damage - those are just the numbers I consider most important for those unit types.
There will be options for it when I get around to it.

Edit: 001.5 adds these options.

Able to make the glowing border green as well when in tank mode? Currently my bar changes to green, but the border stays red.

i changed the font which is located in the kui.lua under the kui folder. the font is handled by the .ttf file.
i found this lines:
norm = NAMEPLATE_FONT,
accid = media .. 'f\\accid.ttf',
yanone = media .. 'f\\yanone.ttf',

i changed the size of the font which is located in the main.lua under the kui_nameplates folder. changed it size 11, since 12 maybe be too big for long names.
i found this line: font = kui.m.f.yanone, size = 11, outline = "OUTLINE" }).

hope this helps.

Any word on when we can expect an update for this mod?

Hands down this is the best nameplate mod there is, anything else is ugly in comparison.

Call it strange but my game play is thrown off without it, I can't stand looking at the crap default nameplates.

Done.

As I say in the changelog though, it might not be perfect. They changed a lot of regions around and it's difficult to test some of them without doing a raid or something.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for the update, its very much appreciated

(If anyone happened to read the rest of this post before I removed it regarding showing max health for enemy units I figured out how with the hpfv option.)

Default color

Do you think you could add in the ability for people to set/change the default hostile and non-hostile colors as well as the agro colors?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'll just edit the LUA file. Thanks!

Skull icon?



In the default health bars there is a skull to represent raid bosses, which seems to be missing. All I see is "??b" instead of a skill icon, is that fixable?
