Threat Plates (TP for short) is an addon for customizing your nameplates. It offers a high amount of customization and tweaks to how your nameplates react and look. I've spent a considerable amount of time improving this addon and any comments or concerns about this addon are appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to improve it.
Features
- All the standard nameplate features like healthbar, name, castbar, coloring (e.g., based on threat), scaling and transparency and so on.
- Two different modes for nameplates: Healthbar View (show healthbar and name) and Headline View (show only name)
- Customizable totem nameplates
- Custom styles for nameplates for extra customization for units based on name, auras or casts.
- Automatic spec detection and role assigning for an easy out of the box setup
- Support for profiles per spec
- Support for LibSharedMedia (adding additional fonts, textures and sounds) and LibDogTag (markup language support for custom texts)
- And lots of options...
Chat Commands
- /tptp: Displays options
- /tptp profile <name>: Switch the current profile to <name>
- /tptp legacy-custom-styles: Adds (legacy) default custom styles for nameplates that are deleted when migrating custom nameplates to the current format
- /tptp help: Prints this help message
- /tptptoggle: Toggle Role from one to the other
- /tptpdps: Toggles DPS/Healing threat plates
- /tptptank: Toggles Tank threat plates
- /tptpol: Toggles nameplate overlapping
- /tptpverbose: Toggles addon feedback text
Additional Information
Version for WoW Classic
A port of Threat Plates for WoW Classic is available here: Threat Plates (Classic).
Version for WoW TBC Classic
A port of Threat Plates for WoW TBC Classic is available under the files tab: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates/files. Look for the latest version for game version 2.5.1.
Scripting (Beta)
Scripting is a new feature of Threat Plates that will be introduced in a future version. It allows you to extend the functionality with custom Lua scripts. Once the feature is finished, you should be able to change all aspects of nameplates. Currently, functionality is still restricted to a high degree as internal functions of Threat Plates ( like, e.g., scaling) are not easily accessible to these scripts. So, overwriting or changing them to, e.g., implement custom scaling is not that easy or may even be impossible right now.
More details as well as the current beta version are available here.

Hi!
Is there a way to have the Status Text spread across multiple lines, instead of just 1?
I've tried to use ["\n"] via LibDogTag to do this myself, however I just get a triple dot "..." inidicating that more text can't be shown.
In reply to SunfyreBlazing:
Right now that should not be possible. I need to check as I am not sure if all texts are handled the same way. You can set text boundaries, e.g., width, but the normal behaviour should be that the text is cut and ends with "..." as you wrote as most of the time if fixed the no. of lines to 1.
Just checked it. For status text, word wrap is set to false, so it will not work currently.
Thanks I've figured it out!
Hey,
Where can i change the size/position of dispellable enemy buffs which are highlighted? I cant find it :(
thank you
In reply to VALLANI_:
You can only increase the size of all buffs (Auras - Appearance), but not only dispellable buffs currently.
Hi!
1) Please can you implement the functionality to have both the character Level text AND Guild name showing at the same time for Status Text options in Headline view? At the moment, if a player character is in a guild, there is no way to show both the Guild Name AND char level. The Guild Name supercedes the Level when both are selected to show.
2) Are you able to have horde/alliance faction icons appearing independantly from each other? I would like faction icons to show for the enemy faction only. Is this possible?

In reply to SunfyreBlazing:
1) You should be possible if you enable custom status text and use LibDogTag too show level and guild.
2) Right now, this is not possible.
Little suggestion: Make Cast Target text the first layer, over the health bar. I think it`s great place for Cast Target, but right now Health bar hide this text =((
In reply to BIGBON36:
Actually, I would like to make all elements freely configurable regarding the layer they are shown at. But that's a lot of work and nothing for the immediate future.
Heya, just switched to this from Plater - I do M+ as Guardian and looking for a good M+ profile I can use that highlights important adds to interrupt/stun etc. Any help would be amazing :D
In reply to purpdrankstyle:
There isn't really someting comparable to Plater's customizability when it comes to that. There are custom nameplates and I am working on adding scripting support to Threat Plates, but it's still a long way to go.
Does anyone know how to disable target of target on enemy nameplates? I swear I've been through every /tptp option and can't find it.
Edit: For me, it was in Healthbar View, then a tab called Target at the top. I thought it would be called Target of Target. Apparently not! Hope this helps someone else
In reply to yalper9:
Yeah, it's probably not easy to find. BTW, this should be disabled by default. Did you somehow enable it by accident?
One thing I miss from the default nameplates compared to TP is the feedback on castbars. In the same way the castbar briefly turns red and remains visible for a second when interrupted, could you also make the castbar turn green (or any other configurable color) when the cast is successful or when the spell is being channelled?
Thanks for your continued effort on this project!
In reply to Shredded_Wings:
I added it to my feature list, see https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/issues/147. I don't know how much work it would be to add it. But it probably requires some timer/animation. But I guess I could look into other addons how they do it.
Is there a way to get a decimal on the aura durations? For example, CCing mobs with something like banish can't land 0.1 second early otherwise it its an immune target, so having the tenth of a second precision is very useful.
In reply to ScoutOrgo:
Right now, this is not possible.
Hey, can somebody help me? How Can I remove white border arround chosen target? Tried unchecking 'border' in healthiew but it does nothing.
In reply to amarulalol:
It's called target highlight. You can disable it under Widgets - Target Highlight.
Hey,
thanks for your work on this great addon, have been using it since forever.
One request i have (unless i overlooked it) is if you could add another percentage option for the health display (to the already existing one) and this new percentage option would display the health percentage with one decimal.
Reason being is that for raids some bosses have a transition at say 80.5% and it would be nice to see that or when you want to better gauge your performance in relation to previous tries it helps as well.
Thanks for any consideration,
have a good one
