FAQ
Q: Can you add healing?
A: Healing will not be included, friendly nameplates are protected in Dungeons and Raids and therefore it would not be possible (or easy) to make it happen.
Q: Will you add a filter to ignore certain abilities and spells?
A: One day, yes.
Classic Notes:
Nameplate Range: Restricted by Blizzard, sorry.
I am unable to disable WoW classic's standard scrolling combat text and cannot find the option in either Nameplate SCT or in the Game interface options. I really like the ability to change font of my combat numbers but with both SCT and Wow classsic SCTs it is too many numbers on the screen.
Is it possible to setup damage numbers behind nameplates (as standart blizzard)?
I am having the same issue as Totalsorrow, but just on a character I made on another realm. I went through every setting I could think of and they are all the same as a character I have on another realm.
I can see incoming damage, but not the outgoing damage.
In reply to MmEeOoStyle:
Are you playing ranged vs melee? Nameplates in range? if there is no nameplates it wont show up.
In reply to justw8:
I must have been blind for some reason not realizing I did not even have nameplates on my rogue... you can forget everything I said.........

This is in Classic. I am playing both malee and ranged - but I'm not out of ranged. This particular one was on my Paladin.
In reply to Inniebin:
Is this classic or retail?

It stopped working for me on classic, it was working fine but now it just stopped, the addon its enabled, there is no error msg, the numbers and animation just don't show up.
In reply to totalsorrow:
This sounds like an issue with it being turned off, or you having the retail version.
In reply to justw8:
I installed the version listed in the classic session of the twitch app, the addon was working, I even went to the config e set the preferences to my liking, everything was running fine but now nothing happens.
In reply to totalsorrow:
I am having the same issue. Was working fine, now not working as intended.
I am getting this error:

The option to disable Miss/Parry/Dodge text doesn't seem to be working. The other options, fountain, rainfall, vertical up and down, are working just fine, but not that one.
Also got this during combat:

I can't seem to remove stagger damage from my personal nameplate
it show even if I turn off Personal Sct
any fix for this?
In reply to claudience:
I cant reproduce this, if personal sct is off it does not display any damge taken by me (including stagger damage)
In reply to justw8:
So I realised it was not damage being shown.. it was absorb, dodge, parry and block that I cant hide.
but the weird thing is that its only showing the stagger damage being absorbed and nothing else (like dodge or parry)
really dont want anything to show up on my personal nameplate :P
it goes away if I disable the addon tho if that helps
Is it possible to add a hook or something that detects if nameplates are out of range and if so toggles Blizzards combat text on and then off when they get into range?
