KuiNameplates Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 211

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;

I'll look into it. Probably won't end up being built in but I can always post a module for it as an optional file.

For now, the code you needed is in create.lua. However I'd suggest you use custom.lua so that you don't have to change it every time there's an update. Rename "custom-rename-me.lua" to "custom.lua" and under this line:

Code:

function mod:PostShow(msg, frame)

Paste this code, replacing the first instance of -2.5 with whatever Y offset you want:

Code:

local offset = -2.5
frame.health.p:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', frame.health, 'TOPRIGHT', -2.5, offset)

if trivial then
    frame.name:SetPoint('BOTTOM', frame.health, 'TOP', 0, offset)
elseif frame.level then
    frame.level:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', frame.health, 'TOPLEFT', 2.5, offset)
else
    frame.name:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', frame.health, 'TOPLEFT', 2.5, offset)
end

Is there any way to change this? I have looked in bot core, config and layout without success.

Thanks! But i must have done something wrong, i pasted the code under the "function mod:PostCreate(msg, frame)" but when i change the local offset the only text that changes position is the hp percent.
The name is still in the same position, i played around with the other offsets aswell but that didn't change anything.
This is how it looks ->

Code:

function mod:PostCreate(msg, frame)
local offset = -5
frame.health.p:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', frame.health, 'TOPRIGHT', -2.5, offset)

if trivial then
    frame.name:SetPoint('BOTTOM', frame.health, 'TOP', 0, offset)
elseif frame.level then
    frame.level:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', frame.health, 'TOPLEFT', 2.5, offset)
else
    frame.name:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', frame.health, 'TOPLEFT', 2.5, offset)
end	-- Place code to be performed after a frame is created here.
end

Not in terms of making a whitelist, but now that I've got the option to change height (and i'll be testing one for width), I know that works without any apparent problems. Once I've got width in I just have to make a whitelist and that can be for a bunch of things. Like don't display for, display larger for, don't show auras on, etc etc.

I uploaded 208 here and on Curse at the same time because I'm pretty sure it's stable now. It's still pending verification here, but Curse have verfied it, so you can see the differences between 201 and 208 here.

Kui_Media is for generic things that I use in other (unreleased) addons, so bar textures or fonts. The media file in Kui_Nameplates is -just- for Kui_Nameplates.

Now is there any difference between 208 and 201 @ curse? Sorry

And I have one question, why are there 2 media folders? one outside the addon folder and one inside?

Edit: actually there's a bug with 208 where enemy priests with class colour enabled will use the new tapped unit colour. Won't take much to fix though.

Might be fixed in 208 which I just uploaded here and on Curse?
I'm not sure what would cause that besides another addon, and I've never seen it so it's difficult to diagnose.
