Infinity Plates

Version: r9

by: Dawn [More]

Minimalistic and lightweight nameplates, based on Blizzard's plates. Somewhat customizable via InfinityPlates.lua, like changing the font, it's size, etc.

Designed with PvP in mind, but works as well for PvE.

Features
* works with PlateBuffs
* Totems are shown as icons (no longer available in r6+)
* abbreviates long names
* names are class/reaction colored
* smart aggro indication
* visible spell icon
* health percent value
- between 35% and 25%, value is yellow colored
- between 25% and 20%, value is orange colored
- below 20%, value is red colored
* featuring hankthetank's raidicon textures
* show hostile nameplates in combat and/or optionally hide them out of combat
- by default nameplates show in combat and do not hide out of combat
...

r9
* toc updated for 5.3
* added an option (showcbtext) to show/hide (true/false) cast name text
- castbar text hidden by default

r8
* toc updated for 5.2

r7
* health value changes color at low health, again
* some code clean up ...

r6
* updated for 5.1
* removed totem icons for now, due to a major rewrite
* changed default colors for units (neutral, hostile, friendly...)
- note: the purple color for tapped units is courtesy of Activision Blizzard ...

r5
* health percentage will now be hidden at 100% and shown otherwise

r4
* updated for Mists of Pandaria
* separate font option for names and numbers
* Totem list updated
... from what I found on Wowhead, got no shaman to test it, seems like they changed around/removed/added totems quite a bit
>>> this one might need feedback if broken/incomplete/missing something

r3
* highlight selected plate with a font shadow behind the name
* selected plates transparency will now always stay at 100%

r2
* make it work with PlateBuffs

r1
* initial release

I agree with you. The best way to use nameplate.

The strange thing is that there is no any other nameplate addons that use a similar approach.

Mah :-)

I'm currently very busy with work. To busy to look into it, atm. So busy that I grabbed TinyPlates for now. Even though I can't play with them at all... At least better than blizz plates.

Hope to get some spare time soon, maybe weekend. But no promises.

I was a little curious about TinyPlates, but was unable to find it ... Any links ?
Btw please find some spare time to fix infinity plate :-)

That are blizzards colors. It's a very basic addon based on their plates, even if it might not look like it.

So color change is more of a 'maybe, maybe not ... more likely not' feature.

Yes, I know it's Blizzard's colors, but I'd still like an option to change it. I've looked around and there currently exists absolutely no addons that change those colors.

Most likely not, sorry. My PC doesn't like handling so many files. Small batches take forever and I don't have the time/mood to go through this.

Same version as r5, except for said feature. __________________ Rock: "We're sub-standard DPS. Nerf Paper, Scissors are fine." Paper: "OMG, WTF, Scissors!" Scissors: "Rock is OP and Paper are QQers.

Good point. I'll see about that, but I'm currently trying to enjoy the game after a year of absence.
