ncNameplates

Version: 1.1

by: nobgul [More]

ncNameplates is a nameplates modifier addon. There are a lot of nameplate modifiers out there, but this one has the unique function of adding class icons to the nameplate. Well, this isn't completely unique, because Aloft can do this too, but I wanted a lightweight addon that can do this because Aloft is 3MB. Credit to Caellian, pretty much completely copied his code, adapted the fonts, textures and a little mechanics and ofcourse added the class icon.

Upcoming features:
- None, but I'm going to completely rewrite the code when I have time
Suggest features!

Usage:
Install and go! If you want a bigger fontsize, different font or bartexture, open ncNameplates/ncNameplates.lua and edit line 1-7. That's all there is!

Next Update will include several color options for the health bar.

1.1a
--
I'm so sorry, forgot to give the textures with the package! Updated in this patch!

1.1
--
Fixed the bug that shows wrong icons on enemys and mobs.

Eehm, this addon indentifies the class by using the class colored nameplates function. If the mobs show class colors in their nameplates like classes do, then this addon will work for them, else they won't.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

I had a rat at the farm in arathibasin with an enemy druid playername, ok indeed alliance people are rats but this goes too far. Warriors are sometimes displayed as druids too...

Hmm, I thought I solved this problem, but I'll look at it, thanks for the feedback!

I ended up having to turn it off because it messed up in arena. What happened was not the icons messing up, what actually happened is peoples names turned to sewer rat and the color went to the color of the neutral mobs. Requests: I dunno if these are easy or even possible but I figured I'd ask anyways. 1) If you do get around to an in game config. It would be great to be able to turn off plates for snakes. 2) I don't really like the icons in bgs/wg because it can be a bit overwhelming. I'd love it if we could toggle being on in specific areas. So turn it off in world pvp/bgs and have them enabled for arena. I'll do some more testing, but I'm not going to be able to test in serious arena. I have alts though so I'll be able to test on them.

Thanks a lot for your comment, I can make an ingame config for filtering certain mobs and certain area's. I sitll don't have any idea how it updates so weirdly, so I'm really trying to find that out. Thanks for your comment!

OK, I think I've solved the problem with wrong class icons showing above someone's head. Also, this is impossible because my addon has no control over the range at which the nameplates appear(but it might be an illusion because the plates are smaller).

They are not light, they are both (including TidyPlates core) over 200kB zipped.

Zip Size =/= In game memory usage size.

True, but not going to discuss my reasoning behind saying it's not light here, please only suggestions or feedback

You can always PM me about it ofcourse.
