Emphasize Target
The target glows, and is animated.
Filters
Many color filter for dungeons and raids are built in beforehand. You can also add a filter by name or npc-ID. You will easily find a mob to watch out for.
Auras
This addon has almost the same aura indication as Blizzard. In addition, Important debuffs are displayed on the allies.
Advanced Nameplate Control
You can change some hidden WoW settings, and thereby change to familiar classical behavior.
Low CPU Usage
This addon keeps the CPU usage very low compared to the well-known nameplates addons. cpu usage result
Quest Indicator
A star is displayed if it is a quest objective. It becomes gray when filled. In the raid zone this feature will be disabled.
Anchor Frame for Weak Auras
You can make any widget of WA for the target nameplate. For example, level text, execute alert, class resources, etc.
Enter NamePlateTargetFrame (just type it) to the Frame editbox, that widget depends on Target Nameplate.
Hey, the addon is spot on, been using it for years now. Is there a way of disabling the realm initials displayed next to the player's name? for example if I see someone from Magtheridon realm, next to their name there is a -Mag
Can that be disabled?
P.S. Managed to find the fix by myself.
1) Find the addon folder
2) open it and find NamePlateKAI.lua
3) Use Notepad++ to open the file
4) Edit line 250 to the following "name = UnitName(unitID)" instead of "name, realm = UnitName(unitID)"
5) Save file.
6) Reload game.
7) Done.
Hi, I love the addon but I was hoping you could help me solve a problem. I use OmniCC and i was able to get debuffs to show a countdown timer but it will only show the debuff with the lowest time left. So if I have 3 dots up only 1 will show a timer. Thanks for any help :)
I'm currently investigating it.
Hi erutei,
My settings keep getting reseted to default (when i move from one area to another most of the time). Any way to solve this issue?
Also is there a way to have healthbars only displayed on my current target?
Thanks.
That has been fixed. Thanks for your report.
The addon does not allow control which targets Nameplates should be shown. If you uncheck Interface>Names>Always Show Nameplates, only the target will be shown.
Just wanted to report that if you make the health bar thicker, the health text is oddly placed. Sort of sticking to the top and not centered.
It is anchored to the text at the top. This is what is intended. I'm planning to implement a custom template.
In reply to erutei:
That sounds awesome, thank you!
G'day!
I love the addon. Any chance you could add an option for additional aggro indicators? like colour options or icons?
I'm just a touch colour blind so I have trouble seeing the red.
Thanks again!
Yes, at the moment this addon is not good for color blind. I have a plan to customize all the colors.
In reply to erutei:
No worries, love your work.
Might there be a way to move the raid icon from on top to the left side? When on top it is covered by auras from other addons and weak aura strings. :(
On the same note, could we also get an option to move the spell cast icon from the right side to left side instead?
Last suggestion: An option to color our target and make it bigger would be great! The current gloss and animation is nice, but when spell particles are flying everywhere and the screen has a ton of mobs, it's a bit subtle.
*edit: alternatively, a custom settings file for us to edit in the addon folder would also be great since our edits to the Lua get overwritten whenever we update the addon.
For the raid icon, that's already planned. The spell icon is not planned at this time.
Variable frame scale may be implemented in the future for further emphasis on the target. Even now, you can additional decorate with the WeakAuras Widget.
In reply to erutei:
Thank you for the reply! I look forward to the raid icon moving :) Also look forward to target emphasis.
Hi im using also omnicc and i dont see numbers on my buffs. The option show numbers is greyed out and disable enable the omnicc option has no impact. Any ideas? In any other plate addon i dont have this issue but i really like the visuals of this addon over all the other.
You'll need to decrease the Minimum Cooldown Size in OmniCC. Countdown Numbers that are greyed out are Blizzard Cooldown Number. You can find it in Interface>ActionBars. Also, OmniCC will change it to Disabled when you login.
Nvm, I see filters were just added so I wasn't missing how to use them. Thank you!
THX for update.
Could you also add raid icon offset ?
I am always using the lua file modified.
It is being planned. I want to implement it by the end of this year at the latest.
Hi. I have a problem that with the Addon turned on and the option in Interfaces> Names> Friendly Players,
the names of characters or NPCs cover my characters, they are too low. How can I change it? Perhaps this is a bug?
This error does not occur with other addons.
