Threat Plates (Classic)
This is a classic port of Threat Plates. For more details, see https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates.
Threat Plates (Classic) supports Real Mob Health, an addon that records damage taken by a mob. This is used to estimate its max health when in combat and stores it for better accuracy in the future. Without it, all units will show with 100 HP health as WoW Classic does not provide accurate HP information via its API.
FAQs
Q: Every time I try to increase the max distance up to which nameplates are shown, it reverts back down to 20..
In Classic, 20 is the hardcapped maximum value for max distance. There is no way to increase it beyond that.
Q: Quest icons are shown on all nameplates, not only on quest mobs.
In the Classic version of Threat Plates, the Quest widget is disabled (in the sourcecode) and the ! icon was not shown by ThreatPlates in all reported cases, but by some other addons like Questie, Azeroth Auto Pilot or ClassicCodex, as they added their icon to the Threat Plates frame. Version 1.1.4 fixes this issue.
Q: Durations off buffs and debuffs on nameplates are missing or not correct.
In WoW Classic, the game does not provide information about the (maximum and current) duration of buffs and debuffs. The library LibClassicDurations helps with that by providing an internal database of aura durations and monitoring the environment for newly applied auras. For long-running buffs and debuffs this does not work as they are applied outside of the range of LibClassicDurations so that their reminaing duration is unknown. For this reason, auras with a runtime with more than 30min are always shown without duration.
My threat plate classic cannot show enemy nameplate(horde or alliance) when I update the newest version. It can only see enemy nameplate for monster.
I try to press shift+v or alt+v, it still not work.
Hi!
I was wondering if there was a way to have ThreatPlates show Threat but without the glowing border. I'd like my threat to only show in the color of the bar.
Is there an option to disable the glow that I'm just too stupid to find ? ^^
In reply to ReudigTobi:
Yeah, that option is well hidden :) You can disable the warning glow under General - Healthbar, at the bottom of the page there is a section for Warning Glow for Threat.

Thanks man! You're my savior 😉
Right now TP is pretty much broken due to LibThreatClassic2 no longer working properly.
I was able to quickfix this by just changing one line in \functions\threat.lua , changing "threatValue = LibThreatClassic2.UnitDetailedThreatSituation" in line 75 to just "threatValue = UnitDetailedThreatSituation".
I don't know if or how many errors this causes, and there's obviously a whole lot of now obsolete references and stuff still left in there. I only tested it in a short diremaul run, but it seems to work fine now. It properly picked up the correct threat values, and even showed offtank aggro as it should.

The new version 1.4.5 now uses the WoWs internal Threat API that has been enabled with the latest patch. So it should work better now.
would it be possible to make the level text have an option to be a specific color instead of by level differential? I love how it looks with yellow font all the time when the mobs are within level range.
In reply to Nekator:
That's not possible right now. I would have to add an option for that.
How can I check resources on all nameplates ? ( resources on the target are displayed in the current function)
In reply to Roen__:
There is no option for that. Currently, the resource bar is target-only.
any plans on removing LibThreatClassic2 and switching to the new Threat API in Classic?
In reply to swmplng2:
I need to look into it, but, yeah, if threat functions are back, then I will probably use them.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
Just mentioning that currently the threat coloring / border is way off. The Threat API shows me at 40% on the boss but the nameplates are showing red like I'm about to pull aggro. Looking forward to a threat API update.
In reply to Zinterax:
I just uploaded a new version 1.4.5 that now uses WoW internals Threat API.

Huge improvement, very nice, thx alot!
Are settings under "Threat Detection" like "Threat Table" and "Heuristic" still relevant?
Hello, nice addon.
As a shadow priest, the "Widgets->Buffs->Enemy Units->Check: Show Buffs + Dispelleable" doesn´t work, I´t doesn´t show any buff.
At least the "Widgets->Buffs->Enemy Units->Check: Show Buffs + Magic" works, but I want to track other buffs in addition like Berserker Rage, Ice Block and Divine Shield, but if I add "Filter by Spell->All Auras->Berserker Rage, Ice Block and Divine Shield" doesn´t work, it still show only the base magic buffs. If I use the White List option instead of the All Buffs one, it doesn't show any buff.
BTW I don´t understand why Ice Block and Divine Shield are not shown by default while traking Magic buffs.
Thanks for your attention, have a nice day.
In reply to P4L3RM0:
I need to look into that in more detail, but if I remember correctly, Classic does not provide the Dispellable information. So the option does not work. I should probably just disable or hide it for the Classic version, I guess.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
Could you please tell me how can i add Berserker Rage, Divine Shield and Ice Block once I've set up to track magic buffs on enemies? Thanks!

Basic help about the Auras widget and filtering is available here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates/pages/help
Beserker Rage, Divine Shield and Ice Block are all buffs that you want to see an enemy units, I think. You you have to enable All as aura type filter for enemy unit buffs in Widgets - Auras - Buffs. If you only want to see these three buffs, you should use White-List as filter mode and add these three auras (one at each line) into the filter list.
It's a bit more difficult if you want, e.g., see all buffs on NPCs (All on NPCs as aura type filter) and also these three buffs on players. Then, you would have to use Black-List and use the Not <Spell Name> syntax to let these three auras bypass the "All on NPCs" filter. As said, a bit more complicated :)
