Those nameplates you've always loved now for a modern classic anniversary TBC !

Very Pretty Nameplates,
Configurable through interface options (/dnp).

You can migrate over you KUI settings using the following. (Thanks to Mudyr for the comment and instructions)

You go into the WTF -> Account -> number -> SavedVariables folder, open the Kui_Nameplates_Core.lua file with the editor (this file contains your settings) and copy everything into the Dino_Nameplates_Core.lua file in the same folder. You might need to login into the game for the game to create the Dino file. Now change the Kui in the first line to Dino so its says DinoNameplatesCoreSaved.

Frequently Asked Questions

0. Why do friendly nameplates look different in instances?

Blizzard has blocked addons from modifying friendly nameplates in instances as of 7.2 (read their statement here). We can't do anything about this.

1. Only the nameplate of my target shows up!

That's because of the default interface option under Esc > Interface > Names > "Always show nameplates".

When that option is NOT checked (the default), only the nameplate of your current target will be shown while out of combat. When it IS checked, nameplates will always be shown, depending on other CVars (FAQ 1a, for instance) and settings in /dnp.

1a. Friendly NPCs don't have any nameplates!

This is due to a CVar Blizzard added in 7.1. There's a checkbox for it under /dnp > CVars > "Always show friendly NPCs' nameplates"

2. Some nameplates still aren't showing up!

They're probably disabled. The game's default options for nameplate visibility are under Esc > Interface > Names. The default keybinds for them are V, Ctrl+V, and Shift+V.

Alternatively, if you're in a large raid or another situation where many nameplates are visible then, as of Legion, the maximum number of visible nameplates is limited to 40. Addons can't change this.
