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.
Is there any way I can edit the render layer of the nameplates so that the scrolling combat text shows on top of it, not behind?
Quick Question

Great Addon Btw!!
Just a heads up for some people, I had issues with aBlueShaman Classic causing the /tptp command to not work
In reply to JoblessJones:
There was a but with version 1.0 of aBlueShaman. 1.1 did fix that, I think. Is there a newer version which causes a bug again or are you using 1.0?
In reply to Backupiseasy:
huh, turns out I was, thanks for that, I much prefer blue shaman to pink :P
Hi,
I don't understand why but the colours are not changing to red when I lose aggro it just stays one static colour - red.
In BFA it's green when I have aggro and red when I lose aggro - here it doesn't happen...
I downloaded RealMobHealth - can anyone help me please?
Also is there no chance to increase the Nameplate range anymore?
I downloaded an Addon called "NameplateDistance" but it doesn't seem to work anymore since today... :(
Thanks for the hard work Suicidal Katt !!!
In reply to DarthMogli:
The nameplate range is limited to 20 max, see the FAQs. There was a bug how to get a bigger view distances, but Blizzard fixed that. And probably will so in the future if there are other solutions to work around the limit.
Regarding coloring: Is threat coloring enabled. It should work. You can check that under Threat System - Coloring. Also, check if your role is set to tank (either determined automatically) or configured manualy under Threat System - Roles,
Is offtank threat not working properly? I believe i have it set correctly but i am currently off tanking a UBRS and mob color is set to red when other tank has threat when it should be the default blue
In reply to Serkit:
In short, the API functions to determine which role a player is playing were removed in Classic, so off-tank detection probably isn't very reliable right now. I still have to come up with a solution, if possible (like using stances/forms to detect it, but that requires a little bit more work).
Hello,
is it possible to change the class-color for shamans to blue and not share the pink one paladins have? ^.-
its pretty annoying. I searched but did not found a option to change it. If i missed something pls educate me.
In reply to 1nH3ll:
There's addons for this (aBlueShaman, I think). I am also working on adding options to change class colors, but it's not yet finished.
Eh bois, I was using the /run SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", "6e1") script to increase the nameplate distance, but all of the sudden today, when I logged in, it's no longer working - anyone know why? Am I typing it in wrong, er what's going on here lol?... Maybe I have it typed/set wrong, I have no idea, but it was working fine yesterday, and all the days prior to that...?
Thanks!
-Cheers

Well poop, according to this post on the Blizz. forums (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/what-happened-in-the-latest-update/297903/8), it says the following:
960 posts
That SUCKS, dang, I wonder if there is yet another way to "work around this," and increase the nameplate visibility - this makes ZERO sense, not just because I "personally" want this to be in the game, but because if you have spell casters able to cast something from 40 yards, then how in God's name is one supposed to be able to "actually" fight in PvP ...... this is ridiculously stupid... ?!
*EDITx2: I "REALLY" hope there is another way to increase the nameplate distance again, there has to be SOMEONE out there that can figure this out lol?!
In reply to itsCoolimaChef:
Even if there is, Blizzard will fix this in a patch. It's just how Classic is supposed to be ...
ignore this comment I mixed something up :D
In reply to mrlitchyb:
Will do :D
The first thing you have posed in FAQs, "in Classic, 20 is the hardcapped maximum value for max distance. There is no way to increase it beyond that.". This is not true. I am currently using 40 yards as my max value with nothing more than a console command. All the nameplate authors, and not a one has figured this out. lol
In reply to VenomizeGaming:
They all know about it. It's regarded as an exploit, but for some reason Blizzard has yet to fix it. I got banned for speaking up about it on their forums.
In reply to Moreorlessmaybe:
Yeah, that's always what I thought would happen. Hopefully you'll get unbanned.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
Yeah it was only 5 days I think. Was worth it if it helped in some way to get this nerfed.
