bdNameplate are a lightweight replacement to the default nameplates. It adds a couple of great features to the new nameplates introduced in legion. But mostly it makes them not look like crap.
Support, Requests, Discussion all on the Discord Server
note: You need bdCore to use this addon, or any other bd_ addons
Features
Threat coloring (red for aggro, orange for danger, green for not)
Class coloring
Better target indication (higher alpha/white text)
Quick reskin to personal resource display
Custom aura tracking (in addition to default stuns/spells tracked by blizzard)
Friendly player name display with raid-relevant debuffs (customizable)
/bd config to access in game config
If you check "Friendly Names in Raid", the addon will change a cVar that will hide all default nameplates so that these names show up. If you uninstall bdNameplates, be sure to uncheck that box or run this command:
/script SetCVar('nameplateShowOnlyNames', 0)
To Do List
Finding a way to let nameplates be clickable on mouse down instead of up.
Shoutout to Zork for making this way better with oUF implementation
Is there any chance to get an update for Prepatch/Shadowlands? Miss this addon so much .... :(
Is it possible to add elite icon? There is no indicator for elite mob on the nameplates and on the unitframes. Kinda hard to understand if i'm fighting elite add
Needs to show the ally experience, like the vanilla nameplates do for Nazjatar allies. Thanks!
Latest update is doing some strange things to my UI. Rescaling minimap,chat, moved my group player's healthbars, Grid nameplates etc...
An update yesterday but still the same problem with healthbars no longer reflect enemy hp :(
Please fix it bro
In reply to Forge_User_58850841:
Update one day or ?
Healthbars don't update until you target the enemy for the first time. Been like this for a few weeks now.
In reply to Karashote91:
Some hostile NPCs have neutral (yellow) (example: pirates southeast voldun) healthbar and some neutrals hostile (red) (examples: some fish southwest tiragarde, mountain goats southeast stormsong). How can I change those to be correctly coloured?
In reply to Forge_User_02016369:
Font changes when you reloadUI
Border thickness reverts to two after reloadUI
Great addon but my OCD cant stand those two settings reverting to default after a reload. Please fix.
In reply to kickin:
Right now I am able to change the enemy name font size, but not friendly name font size?
Can this issue be addressed or is there already a solution?
nvm
Hello
Before the add-on was updated last week my friendly and enemy nameplates looked like this: (Pay particular attention to the size of the frames)

After the update my friendly and enemy looked like this:

As you can see the bars are absolutely tiny and I've spend hours trying to configure them with no luck.
I know there is many in my guild who uses BD Nameplates who have the same problem, but also some who had no difference in the sizing before and after the update.
I don't know if it is relevant but I use the following computer:
Imac 27-inch 5k Retina
3,8 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro 580 8192 MB
I sincerely hope that you can help as we are a end content PvE guild and I it's raid leader and therefor my nameplates are really important, and as of right now - they are to tiny to see..
- Special unit color doesn't work anymore. (example : Spawn of G'huun)
- Blocks the world quest progression message pop up ( example : killing enemies 3/10 ...)
Please fix it.
Good job on the update - thank you!
After todays update my enemy and friendly nameplates are tiny! and i've spend the last hour trying to get them back to the sizing they were before the update.
Please help.
Btw thanks for the quick update to 2.47, I can’t stand blizzards nameplates.
