Changelog

v1.3.0 — 2026-05-03

Enemy state warnings

  • New detection for important enemy buff/debuff states. When an enemy gains a tracked state, the plate displays a bold label above the unit and a flashing colored border around the plate, regardless of tank/healer mode
  • Spell Reflection (Warriors): shows REFLECT with a flashing blue border so casters know to hold spells until it falls off
  • Detection table is data-driven (name + spellID + color), so more states can be added in one place
  • New checkbox: Show Enemy State Warnings (default ON) and slash toggle /bp states

Per-character nameplate distance

  • Auto distance and the manual Nameplate Distance slider are now stored per-character. Setting distance on one character no longer leaks to others, so a Warlock at 36 yards and a Rogue at 8 yards can coexist without re-tuning each session
  • Existing account-wide values are migrated to the active character on first load
  • The reset button / /bp reset now wipes both account and character settings

Auto-distance scan — talent-aware

  • Spellbook scan now also resolves each entry by spellID (extracted from the spellbook link) since GetSpellInfo(name, rank) can return base range rather than the talented value in TBC
  • Added a per-class talent floor so Warlock Destructive Reach, Druid Nature's Reach, and Shaman Storm Reach properly extend the nameplate range to 33 / 36 yards. Hunter is fixed at the engine cap (Hunter's Mark ≥ 41)
