Threat Plates - Version 9.1
About:
Threat Plates (TPTP for short) is a addon for customizing your nameplates. It offers a high amount of customization and tweaks to how your nameplates react and look. It also offers some unique features that are not available with any other nameplate addon. 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 this addon.
Starting with version 8.6.0, Threat Plates now is a standalone addon that no longer requires TidyPlates. Please enable only one of these two nameplate addons, otherwise two overlapping nameplates will be shown for units.
Features:
- SharedMedia support and many, many, options for name, health, level, and spell text. As well as all of the standard nameplate features such as castbar and icon, elite icons / textures, skull icons / textures, raid marks, and healthbar coloring/alpha/scale.
- Ace3 profiling.
- Low memory footprint.
- Threat system management.
- Automatic talent detection and role assigning for an easy out of the box setup.
- Customizable widgets.
- Customizable totem nameplates.
- Customizable nameplates for extra customization for specifically named units.
Commands:
- /tptp - Displays options.
- /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:
- A considerable amount of information about options and its internal priorities are not gone into details. Most options that are enable or disable based will toggle off options that are no longer changeable once enabled or disabled. If you have any questions about options and what they do, feel free to leave a comment or PM me here for more information.

Any way to increase number of Custom Nameplates even more than 130 ?
just like l1nels my headline view section is grayed out, how do i fix this?
In reply to ninjadabs:
Hm, that is only disabled when nameplateShowAll is disabled which might not make sense thinking about it. To enable it, set that CVar to 1 or enable it under General - Visibility. The real fix probably is to just not grey it out in that situation.
How can I enable such a display of names as in this screenshot?
In reply to l1nels:
It's called headline view. You can configure for which unit types it should be used in the options (open with /tptp) under General - Headline View. There are also additional settings like size, different coloring or status text than for healthbar view.

See my comment here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates?comment=3783
is there a way to show the new follower xp on the bar or is it something that can be added?
In reply to AntisocialGamin:
Right now, there is no option to show that. I am not sure if I want to add that just for BfA - there are so many other, more requested features :) I'll still add it to my feature list.
In reply to Backupiseasy:
its ok if you dont add it, as I had seen some others who had but dont want to switch to there addon :)
There's a bug where some friendlies will randomly have their class color.

Does this happen consistently or only in certain situations? Not sure right now, what could be the reason for this.

In reply to fittetwitch:
Yeah, I think that Lua error happens when you are porting out of a BG or instance, combat ends and nameplates are no longer available not not deleted (the event did not yet fire). That's the only explanation I have right now for that. I fixed that error (hopefully) in the current beta version for 9.1.13. If it does not happen to often, just wait with the update until I release beta2 in a few days. The current beta migrates your custom nameplates, but not perfectly.
You can try the following version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o7OMS6BXuB1I2BkpVPGcz--CHdrrXUXd. Just backup your TidyPlates_ThreatPlates.lua file with your settings before installing it, if you want to try. It should fix this Lua error.
In reply to fittetwitch:
I just uploaded a new beta version, 9.1.13-Beta2, that should fix this error.
hi ..when i jump into a place with lots of enemies it shows all healthbars even from mobs that are way too far and it gets messy ...is there any option to not load enemy helathbars after some distance? also i get the same problem with the tooltip as the other guy mentioned :(
In reply to SdfR3:
There is a CVar for that. You can configure the distance until which nameplates are shown under General - Blizzard Settings - Max Distance. The CVar that is changed with this setting is nameplateMaxDistance.
Regarding the tooltip, I have to investigate that. You can try to disable aura tooltips under Widgets - Auras - Appearance - Tooltips. I know that I also had that issue, but it is gone now without disabling auras tooltips, so not sure.
Can someone tell me how to enable the nameplates of Jaina's barrels?
In reply to zionn99:
Hm, not sure, but do you have something disabled under General - Visibility - Enemy Units, like, e.g, Guardians or Pets? Maybe barrels are considered pets or guardians.
Is there any way that we can have enemy player healthbars be shown with WarMode off ? It sounds petty but I am really having a hard time telling who and where the other guys are in these new zones whenever I do turn it off. I can't change anything about the way that their nameplates look with WM off, is this an intended thing or something that you cannot change ? Many thanks on everything though, I couldn't do without this addon ! (hence my question)
