I'm trying to do a very simple nameplate setup that no addon is letting me do.
I want all friendly targets to have blue health bars and all hostile targets to have red health bars. I want just the names to be class colored above the red/blue bars.
They showed the arena tournaments in this same format, I just want to replicate it...
I installed every addon under the sun, except for this one. Your description and pictures misled me a little bit so I didn't bother. I thought I was forced to choose from the color wheel for "friendly names" and "enemy plates".
This will likely be my primary addon for pvp. I still feel urged to use kui outside of pvp though.
Suggestions:
- keep it simple! Most addons in this category have wayyy too much functionality.
- change the menu word "name plates" to "health bars" it's more universally used.
- add 2 categories to differentiate npcs/players. So you would have categories for friendly/hostile players and friendly/hostile npcs.
- add a second sizer bar, so you have one for healthbars and one for text.
- if you ever wanted to add more functionality beyond that, the only functions I miss are font choices, opacity options, and bar textures. Anything beyond that is overkill.
healthbars. i modified it to show class colors for enemy players but this also makes the npc healthbars class colored. id like to have enemy bars be class colored but leave npc healthbars hostility colored.
I'm not sure how you managed to also color npc healthbars "by class" unless all NPCs were changed into the warrior class color and you were hooking CompactUnitFrame_UpdateHealthColor()
The technical details is that the cvar would only work for future sessions and needs a relog/reload, while this line would immediately update enemy nameplates to be hostile colored for this session. So sorry I forgot that!
ok, youre are simply amazing! done that bit, bars are class colored, names are actually red or white which i believe depends on combat state. difficult to do the names class color too?
Is it when they are pvp flagged, the name is same as bar which is class color? cuz ive seen class color, white and red names now :)
i can't be 100% sure but it might have happened in Cathedral of night yesterday , so that might explain it :p
i just gave some info update on your own issue about taint on wowace :)
Thanks for the info on the ticket, I still haven't found any solution so far though http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54635

That should be possible with this addon, just open the options with /nc and only enable class colors for "Friendly/Enemy names"

"Health bars" are used in way more frames than just nameplates.
If you want certain functionality, why don't you code it yourself? Lua and the WoW API are treats to work with.
This isn't working for me?
Confirmed it is enabled, and the only addon I had to test. The slash commands aren't doing anything either.
V 1.1.1 works
Oops, I forgot to embed the libraries for the options window, sorry for that, v1.2.1 should work :s
Added a few very basic options now :)
They can be opened with the /nc slash command
is there a way to make friendly and enemy players class colored but make all npcs reaction colored?
Are you talking about the names or the healthbars? Until there are options implemented, you'd need to modify the NameplateColors.lua :(
NPCs are unaltered, they should already be reaction colored afaik
healthbars. i modified it to show class colors for enemy players but this also makes the npc healthbars class colored. id like to have enemy bars be class colored but leave npc healthbars hostility colored.
If you want enemy player healthbars to be class colored, try changing it to this

Oops, my bad! Forgot that you also need to change line 10 to this
