PvEFrames is an add-on that creates up to 64 frames that allow *targeting, and displays health, threat, casting, and raid icons of NPCs during fights. The frames are now much more minimalistic than before.
*The targeting has to be run through macros (/targetexact) because there is not a constant unitID for each NPC. This means that the targeting function will only be usable if the NPC was targeted at least once before combat began.
The frames reset once combat ends and there will not be a clear targets button unless it is requested. There isn't really a need to have a button to clear the targets. Simply killing a critter (which Blizzard seems to have placed every few steps) will cause your character to enter and leave combat, resetting the frames.

New in 4.0.4
Quick fix to add two buttons. The "X" button on the mob frame now clears all mobs that have been detected and the "X" on the options frame hides the frame (for after unchecking "Always Show").
Future Updates- Functionality
- Quicker mob detection and updates
- Click-casting (hopefully, isn't seeming to work like it used to)
- Out-of-combat sorting
- In-combat sorting (after mobs die as long as they were detected in combat)
- Optional disabling the targeting feature
- Reusable frames (e.g. after a mob dies the frame should be able to pick up a new target during the same fight)
- Numerical tagging (e.g. Boar 1, Boar 2, Snake 1, etc...)
- Option to set up a kill order
- Synchronization with sorting, tagging, and kill order between group members using PvEFrames
- Display
- Optional coloring
- Custom threat coloring and percentage thresholds
- Automatically scaled spell icon
- Optional custom health and cast bar heights instead of 2:1 ratio
- and anything else I can think of or is suggested in the comments
Note: This addon targets by using a "/targetexact" command, so it will not work 100% of the time if 2+ mobs have the same name.
-Also the target cannot update in combat. The frame will still display health, threat, casting, and raid icon if the mob was seen after combat began.
-This version and all future versions should reset saved variables automatically when needed.
