MobIconizer

Puts an icon of your choice above a mob's nameplate

Preconfigured for an English client

MobIconizer matches icons against the mob's name, exactly as your client displays it. The addon ships set up for an English client, so the texture files are named with English mob names.

On any other client language you need to rename the files to match the mob's name.

Features

Icon above any nameplate

Works with the default Blizzard nameplates and with Plater, ElvUI, Platynator, RyoUI and ThreatPlates. The icon anchors to the nameplate's health bar, and re-anchors itself if your nameplate addon moves its frames around.

Placement and appearance

• Anchor - nine attachment points around the health bar
• Offsets - horizontal and vertical fine-tuning, +/- 500px

Name labels

Show Mob Name draws each mob's name underneath its icon. This is how you find out what to call your files - read the name off the screen, name a file after it.

Mobs with an icon out of the box

21 mobs are covered by the bundled textures. Several share an icon - the art is a hint at what the mob does, not a portrait of it.

Icon	Meaning	Mobs
	somewhat important kick, probably no wipe	Angry Krolusk, Dominated Brawler, Faithless Subjugator, Fractured Shivercore, Frigid Mauler, High Evolutionist, Primal Serpent, Tempest Channeler, Twisted Hexxer, Wrathguard Flayer
	some volley	Radiant Spellsower, Risen Hexer, Voidtouched Magi
	heals enemies	Earthwhisper Tender, Lightgorged Lasher
	AoE CC, probably wipe	Kilivore Screamer, Lightfeather Petalwing
	also some volley	Felonious Mage
	chainlightning	Stormbound Mystic
	mindcontrols a player	Seductive Sayaad
	polymorph	Phantom Hex Priest

Those are English names, so this is the set that works on an English client. On any other locale, rename the files to that locale's names for the same mobs.

The source art is kept in Media\ under its Blizzard icon name alongside the mob-named copies, so you can see what each group is and duplicate it for a new mob.

Adding an icon

1. Drop a texture named after it into Interface\AddOns\MobIconizer\Media\, for example Ravenous Bat.tga. Use .tga or .blp with power-of-two dimensions (32x32, 64x64, …).
2. Reload the UI.

Every mob with that name now shows that icon. Mobs with no icon do not show anything.

Commands

Settings also live at ESC -> Options -> AddOns -> MobIconizer.
