Compact native nameplates with clear NPC reaction and PvE threat colors for WoW Forever (Classic+), client 1.60.1.
NovaPlates Forever (PVP/PVE)
Version 0.1.0-alpha — World of Warcraft Forever (Classic+)
Compact nameplates. Clear NPC reactions. PvE threat colors.
This Forever edition of NovaPlates targets client 1.60.1 (build 70862), interface 16001. It uses the native Thin/Small layout and enemy stacking, keeping the game's health bars, names, cast bars and targeting behavior.
This is an early testing release. Enemy cooldown tracking is not included in this build. The WotLK cooldown catalog and screenshots describe the separate WotLK edition.
What is included
- Compact enemy nameplates, enabled automatically on login.
- Red: your threat status indicates aggro, or the NPC is targeting you.
- Yellow: high threat.
- Green: an NPC in combat targets an assigned group tank or your manually selected tank. This is a target indicator, not a guarantee of threat-table leadership.
- Orange-red: hostile NPCs. Gold: neutral NPCs. Blue: friendly NPCs.
- Native player/class colors, health updates and cast bars remain available.
- If the client restricts threat or reaction data, the addon keeps Blizzard's native colors.
Install
- Download NovaPlatesForever-0.1.0-alpha.zip from the Files tab.
- Extract the NovaPlatesForever folder into your Forever client's
Interface/AddOns/folder. - Restart the client and enable NovaPlates Forever in the AddOns list.
Use the ZIP asset for installation; the automatic source archives contain both editions. The diagnostic probe is not required and is not bundled.
