10.2.6

Target Nameplate Indicator

Version: 1.54

by: Choonstertwo [More]

Target Nameplate Indicator attaches a texture to the nameplates of your target, mouseover and focus to make them easier to spot.

NOTE: As of 7.2, this AddOn no longer works for friendly nameplates in dungeons or raids. See this MMO-Champion article or this Wowhead article for Blizzard's original announcement of the change.

NOTE: This AddOn currently doesn't work with EKPlates, see this comment thread on CurseForge for details.

NOTE: If you want indicators to display for a unit, make sure you have nameplates enabled for that unit type. If nameplates are disabled, the indicators can't be displayed.

The AddOn now includes forty textures:

Red targeting reticule (the default texture, contributed by Dridzt)
Red arrow (contributed by DohNotAgain)
Neon versions of the reticule and arrow (contributed by mezmorizedck)
Two red inverted triple chevrons (contributed by OligoFriends)
Red and green 3D Arrows (contributed by OligoFriends)
Skull and crossbones (contributed by OligoFriends)
Red concentric circles in the style of a target (contributed by OligoFriends)
Red star with gold outline (contributed by OligoFriends)
Neon green arrow with a red target (contributed by OligoFriends)
Blue arrow (contributed by Imithat)
Abstract blue arrow (contributed by Imithat)
Gears of War logo (contributed by Imithat)
Malthael (Diablo) logo (contributed by Imithat)
Red arrow (contributed by Imithat)
Skull with gas mask (contributed by Imithat)
Abstract purple arrow (contributed by Imithat)
Kite shield with sword and crossed spears/polearms (contributed by Imithat)
Neon green arrow (contributed by Nokiya420)
Fel green flaming skull (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Red flaming skull (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Shadow purple flaming skull (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Green map pin/GPS symbol (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Red map pin/GPS symbol (contributed by ContinuousQ)
White map pin/GPS symbol (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Green target arrow (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Red target arrow (contributed by ContinuousQ)
White target arrow (contributed by ContinuousQ)
Red Hunter's Mark arrow (contributed by thisguyyouknow)
Red Arrows Towards Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Red Arrows Away From Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Blue Arrows Towards Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Blue Arrows Away From Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Green Arrows Towards Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Green Arrows Away From Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Yellow Arrows Towards Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Yellow Arrows Away From Nameplate (contributed by Inokis)
Green arrow pointing downwards (suggested by Hayan, from Iconpacks)

You can also use any texture in the WoW Interface folder (feature contributed by markgravity).

The AddOn's configuration menu can be opened using the /tni or /targetnameplateindicator commands.

If you want to contribute a custom texture (that you own), simply leave a comment here or on Curse with the image embedded or a direct link to the image.

If you want to translate the configuration menu into another language, please contribute translations on CurseForge.

Thanks to Meneltel for posting this request, which inspired me to write Target Nameplate Indicator.

Imithat's iMedia AddOn includes additional textures for Target Nameplate Indicator.

Suggested Indicator Settings:

Fel green/Red/Shadow purple flaming skull - Size = 80x80
Red/Blue/Green/Yellow Arrows Towards/Away From Nameplate - Size = 150x24, Texture/Anchor Point = Centre, X Offset = 0, Y Offset = -5

I don't play WoW any more, but I'm still around and I'll attempt to fix most bugs in my AddOns.

Most of the target nameplate detection is done by LibNameplateRegistry, so I'm not sure whether this is a problem in my code or in LNR.

Can you try downloading the latest version of LNR and installing it as an AddOn? This may or may not fix the issue, let me know whether or not it does.

Bobbing might be possible, but the flashing arrow and advancing chevron might not be.

Keep in mind that WoW can only load static textures, it doesn't support GIFs or other animated images. All animation is done using five types of animation objects: Translation (moving things from point A to B), Path (a series of Translations that lets you move things along a curve), Rotation (rotating things), Scale (making things bigger or smaller) and Alpha (fading things in or out).

Keep up the good work too! This function along with the "SpotMe" addon have made my life so much easier in a mass crowd amongst all those yellow flying up numbers of AoEs and DoTs.

Animations might be possible. What kind of animations were you thinking of?
