Nameplate improvements to the new default nameplates from 7.0.3
—
What it does:
- Adds a unit level display to the nameplate unit frame
- Adds a numeric display to nameplate health bars and Personal Resource Display (for Personal Resource Display, this is available with Larger Nameplates only)
- Adds a better threat display similar to pre-7.0.3
- Makes it easier to tell which mobs are currently in combat by coloring their name red when they are in combat and you are able to gain credit for the kill (raid/party groups, multitap mobs), and grey for mobs that have been tapped
- Enables names to always show up on nameplates regardless of NPC names settings
- Adds an outline to the names to make them easier to read
- Fades other nameplates out whenever you target something, similar to pre-7.0.3
- Makes Personal Resource Display click-through
It also sets some CVars for arguably better functionality:
- Prevents nameplates from becoming increasingly transparent when moving away from them, makes every nameplate fully opaque similar to pre-7.0.3 (nameplateMaxAlpha, nameplateMinAlpha)
- Prevents nameplates from changing in size depending on distance (nameplateMaxScale, nameplateMinScale)
Note: Chinese/Mandarin and Korean are not supported unless somebody offers to help for that.
