rNamePlates (Diablo)

Version: 60200.02

by: zork [More]

Update, October 2016

We can now spawn nameplates with oUF. There is no need anymore for a seperate nameplate framework. They can be integrated into your oUF layout. http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=54584

INTRO

rNamePlates replaces the default name plates with a Diablo themed high FPS counterpart.
Based up on this: Nameplate FPS drop research

AURAS

rNamePlates supports auras. Auras are tracked for "player" and "pet" and saved in a spell-database per character. To administrate the spell-database check the slash commands.

SLASH COMMANDS

lua Code:

/rnp -- shows all commands
/rnp list -- shows all entries of spelldb for this character
/rnp blacklist SPELLID -- blacklists a certain SPELLID in spelldb for this character
/rnp whitelist SPELLID -- whitelists a certain SPELLID in spelldb for this character
/rnp remove SPELLID -- removes a certain SPELLID from spelldb for this character
/rnp disable -- disable the spelldb for this character
/rnp enable -- enable the spelldb for this character
/rnp resetspelldb -- reset the spelldb for this character

CONFIG

Small config on top of the rNamePlates.lua. Not much. Most of the stuff is hardcoded.

Yeah the nameplate healthbar color function was not throttled. A new version will do that. Decided to add faction based coloring aswell if no threat state is found on the nameplate.
https://code.google.com/p/rothui/source/detail?r=1361
But higher CPU usage is normal. I hook castbar and healthbar OnValueChanged functions and apply the given values to new health and castbars. What do you use for CPU profiling?

Thanks, they seem to be working fine now, one thing I noticed is that the new version takes about 60% more cpu than the older version I modified.

Not sure if part of it is work that now is done by the addon and no longer done by blizzard and I can't profile blizzard's addons so no clue about the net effect.

But you reminded me of a bug with the default nameplates that is visible on target dummies. Target dummies and other stationary objects reduce the opacity of the nameplate healthbar in conjunction with the nameplate itself. Thus when targeting a dummy it can happen that the current target dummy nameplate will not turn fully visible.

I'm currently thinking about not re-using the Blizzard nameplate healthbar, threat-glow and castbar any more. That way I could get rid of some other issues aswell.

I knew about the opacity configuration, but the target dummies explain it, I was testing some things on the dummies and noticed the fading, though perhaps surprisingly when I checked the default nameplates I haven't noticed the opacity change for all frames.

Another small issue is that I'm checking both the threat glow for the agro and the name on the plate to know if the unit is in combat but since you're recoloring it I needed to use something else. Would using blizzPlate.nameString work, and I mean does it still get updated by blizzard and is safe for me to check?

This also happens with the unmodified file. Any ideas?

Where would be the best place to do it, within NamePlatePosition(...) (I looked at a previous message you posted a long time ago about changing the nameplate text based on threat and although it referenced the old code it seemed to fit the NamePlatePosition() function) or the actual OnUpdate handler?

Thanks.

I've been using it on my tank and would like to have nameplates colored differently depending on if I'm tanking the mobs or not. I'm ok at making minor modifications to lua, what would be the best way to go about it. Thanks.

Sure. If you hack the two skin functions for the health and castbar.

I will look into it. A screenshot would be helpful.

Kabuto-eu A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 45 Uploads: 2	I think there is a small timing bug with the aura updates/frame position. What I have noticed is enemies who are - casting a channelled spell - while I have a debuff on them causes the cast bar to periodically glitch out for a few frames, possibly when you check for aura updates? The whole nameplate seems to be getting drawn in a different position for a very short period. This doesn't seem to occur to nameplates I am not targeting at the time. I tested it on the red goren spewing mobs in Magnarok, Frostfire Ridge. Turning off auras (/rnp disable) seemed to fix this glitching. I have also noticed it in dungeons, the bug is not specific to these mobs.

/rnp disable

Will do exactly what you are asking for.
