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

Once we wipe, I have to reload my UI for it to continue working on the next attempt. If I don't reload, Bigwigs is broken in every way as if it wasn't loaded. Let me see if I can get you a .lua error tonight. __________________ Rosoaa's UI

That being said, any more info on this? In which way? When? Always? ...

The name is still shown at all times, so you have your indicator there. As an old PvP'er says "red = dead". Even though enemy player names are class colored, but hey you get the idea.

Btw, I forgot to add the health percent coloring at low values. Will upload a new version if I have some time.

For instance, Totem icons are gone (at least for now). Custom colored names are in. __________________ Rock: "We're sub-standard DPS. Nerf Paper, Scissors are fine." Paper: "OMG, WTF, Scissors!"

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 :-)

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 :-)
