Plater Nameplates  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v8.2.5.278
by: Tercioo [More]

Plater is a handsome and light addon for nameplates!

Plater and Details! are made by the same author!


Features:
- New nameplates for friendly characters.
- Unlock configs to modify the new personal health bar/power bar in the middle of the screen.
- Allows to change the size of the resource indicators such as the runes for Death Knights.
- Indicates when a npc is an objetive of a quest.
- Highlight detector npcs inside Suramar city.
- Color change by aggro and by player role (tank or dps).
- Dynamic sizing allowing to have two sets of size, one for combat and other out of combat.
- Allows full modification of textures.
- Allows to modify the clickable area of the plate.
- Unlock separate config for each type of unit: Friendly Player, Enemy Player, Friendly Npc, Enemy Npc.
- Show your buffs and debuffs, allowing to black list some of them.

Important: by default the health bar of enemy nameplates has a height 2 pixel when out of combat, but do not be fooled by that, each nameplate has by default 45 pixels of clickable area (vertical) and both the health bar and the clickable area can be modified.

Hey Tercio it looks nice, I will try it

But why is this addon in the Beta-version instead of Legion Beta category?
I only know about this addon because you posted it on the official forums.

I noticed the font doesnt show russian (and maybe chinese/korean too), is there a way to choose an unicode font?
Edit: Never mind, I found the option now.

Edit2: The options look really neat.
Apparently it uses "Friz Quadrata TT" (?) for the options font but I changed that font so it looked a bit off on my first screenshot :S

Thanks for pointing out the miss category, it should be on Legion indeed.
I'll see those font issues, it's bad not support russian/chinesse font right out of the box.

In hindsight, I like the Friz Quadrata TT font more now.
It's more readable than Arial Narrow, at the cost of questionmarked Russian/Chinese/Korean names.

Just a heads up it's hard to find an option that pleases everyone, maybe it should be depending on the locale what the default font is.

I think both are equally good, Arial perhaps is more discrete for a default font.
I have sent the v1.2 version which adds level and elite/rare indicators.

Currently looking for ideas on how to approach the new nameplates. Eager to learn how you did it. Currently reading through your code.
To bad your comments are in portuguese . >_>

There seems to be a bug with the CompactRaidFrames with Plater (v1.3) enabled
The unit frames will become almost completely white, except for the buffs/debuffs overlay

(It also happens if you use Raid-Style Party Frames while in a party)

There's no secret on those new nameplates, you may understand better looking directly on blizz code.

change log?

It would be nice if you had or used a change log, rather than downloading the zip, extracting, and comparing Lua files.

So far is just coding until reach all features goal, then version control with Mercurial handle changes.

Just logged to say "good grief what a difference these make in the Beta".

Especially loving the configuration option screen (lots of options, simple to use), keep up the good work

Not sure if intended but he border for drop down menus in the settings such as font selection is a green border.

As far as the nameplates themselves, one observation and a suggestion:

It seems the order of castbar, nameplate and buff/debuff does not always respect what is selected. For example if I select buffs then health then castbar, it sometimes does the opposite.


Now as a suggestion, KUI nameplates has a great option to limit the screen becoming cluttered with friendly plates. It allows you to select only the player name in combat and no name plate. You can also select hte font size as well as color the name by class color. It also has the added bonus of draining the color from the name as the player's health drains.

Do you think you could do anything like that?

So for example

In combat I would show as (a hunter)

Ceylina

If I was say 80% health I would show as

Ceylina


Hope that makes sence

Shouldn't be green, probably an issue with the framework, thanks for reporting.
