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.
Do you have a working version for the TBC beta yet? Miss this addon a lot!
Is there any way to enable guild names on PVP targets? Thanks.
In reply to coblenski:
Right now, you only can show that in status text (only makes sense in headline view, mostly), but not specifially for only PvP-flagged units.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
OK, thanks
Is there anyway to turn off headline view and instead use health bar view when out of combat but only in dungeons and raids.
My current set up is:
So currently out in the open world mobs will have headline view until combat start then switch to health bar view, but i find this kind of annoying in raids.
Alternative is to turn off "headline View Out of Combat" under automation every time i enter raid but this is a bit tedious.
Just wondering if theres a setting im missing or a way of doing this.
In reply to TotemRecall1:
No, currently that is not possible. The settings under Automation do not check for in instance or out of instance currently.
Why health text on HealthBars show up only when combat starts?
In reply to Bezdemons:
By default, HP is only shown for damaged units. You can change that under General - Status Text - Health Text. Enable Full Amount there.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
Thank you.
As of 2/27/21 this addon stopped working and i am struggling to figure out what could have taken it out. All settings remained unchanged from the previous night when the addon worked perfectly. I am not receiving any errors, the addon simply does not display anything.
In reply to unrumble:
Hm, do you use TellMeWhen? There is a Lua error in some situations which might be hidden if you don't show Lua errors. 10.1.4 should fix this. One think you can test: disable all other addons except TP - does it work then? If so, it's probably a sideeffect of the LibDogTag integration that did not really work well. As said, with 10.1.4 this should be fixed.
Hi,
After the most recent update (10.1.0) I am now bombed by various LUA errors, they're almost all identical to this, only the index field changes from LibDogTag to RGB to Animations and so forth. (This is the first error to appear in the lua log)

This error should now be fixed in version 10.1.1 - thanks for reporting it. I still get errors with TellMeWhen, but they also occur when TP is disabled.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
I can confirm that I no longer get LUA errors, thank you so much for the quick fix :)
In reply to Miuku:
Ah, good to hear :)

In reply to thebigmacaron:
I think that this is not the initial error. The variable ThreatPlates will always be initialized here unless there was an error deeper in the code before that. You should get more Lua errors than this one. In almost all cases, the first one is important
Hello, while troubled by the WowUp addon manager not being able to find this particular addon, I noticed in the .toc file the X-Website and X-Curse-Project-ID attributes were never updated for the Classic port. Instead they are still both pointing to https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates
I have no idea whether that is the source of the problem or even affects anything, but nevertheless something that could be easily fixed in next release whenever that is.
edit: The problem seems to be have been resolved on their side.
In reply to Paaht:
You are right, I did not adjust that for the Classic version. Thanks for reporting this.
Is there a way to exclude particular mobs from the displayed plates? Whelps in the Suppression Room for example, is there a way to only see the Dragonkin and Orc plates?
