Description

Target Nameplate Indicator attaches a texture to the nameplates of your target, mouseover, focus and target's target to make them easier to spot.

NOTE: As of 12.0, the Target of Target indicator no longer works in dungeons or raids.

NOTE: As of 7.2, this AddOn no longer works for friendly nameplates in dungeons or raids. See this MMO-Champion article or this Wowhead article for Blizzard's original announcement of the change.

NOTE: This AddOn currently doesn't work with EKPlates, see this comment thread on CurseForge for details.

NOTE: If you want indicators to display for a unit, make sure you have nameplates enabled for that unit type. If nameplates are disabled, the indicators can't be displayed.

The AddOn now includes forty textures:

  • Red targeting reticule (the default texture, contributed by Dridzt)
  • Red arrow (contributed by DohNotAgain)
  • Neon versions of the reticule and arrow (contributed by mezmorizedck)

  • Red and green 3D arrows (contributed by OligoFriends)

You can also use any texture in the WoW Interface folder (feature contributed by markgravity). To use your own texture:

  • Open the WoW game folder from Battle.net
  • Open the Interface folder
  • Create a new folder called TargetNameplateIndicator_CustomTextures
  • Place your texture file in this folder
  • In-game, open the configuration menu
  • In the Texture dropdown, choose the "Custom" option
  • In the Custom Texture field, enter Interface\TargetNameplateIndicator_CustomTextures\[Your Texture Name] (without the file extension)

The AddOn's configuration menu can be opened using the /tni or /targetnameplateindicator commands.

If you want to contribute a custom texture (that you own), simply leave a comment here or on Curse with the image embedded or a direct link to the image.

If you want to translate the configuration menu into another language, please contribute translations on CurseForge.

Thanks to Meneltel for posting this request, which inspired me to write Target Nameplate Indicator. 

Imithat's iMedia AddOn includes additional textures for Target Nameplate Indicator.

Suggested Indicator Settings:

  • Fel green/Red/Shadow purple flaming skull - Size = 80x80
  • Red/Blue/Green/Yellow Arrows Towards/Away From Nameplate - Size = 150x24, Texture/Anchor Point = Centre, X Offset = 0, Y Offset = -5
