lol - Hey, I make no guarantees!

The class icons are activated when 1) a player is able to attack you, and 2) you've enabled "class-colored nameplates" under the Interface panel.

This means that the icon will show up during duels, battlegrounds, world pvp, and NPC mind control.

Glad you like it! :-)

If you open up "Theme.lua" (in the TidyPlatesKnurl folder), and take a peek at the code, you'll find a section that looks like this:

Code:

function config.SetSpecialText(unit)
	return unit.health.." / "..unit.healthmax
end

The function simply returns a string of text. The variable 'unit' is a table, which is loaded with information about that particular unit. So, 'unit.health' becomes that specific unit's health. The '..' appends pieces of text, so we can add the slash '/' between the two numbers.

To return the percentage, we include a little bit of math in our statement:

Code:

function config.SetSpecialText(unit)
	local healthPercent = ceil( ( unit.health / unit.healthmax ) * 100 )
	return healthPercent.."%"
end

The function 'ceil()' rounds the number up to the next whole number.

Hope that helps!

Re: Spell Icon

Ah ha! I'd made some changes to how things were layered (in Tidy Plates), and I thought I'd kept everything backwards compatible. Ooops. I'll post up a fix to Knurl in a few minutes.

I don't know anything at all about modding but I looked at the lua file of this skin and the 'simple' skin (the spell icon works in that, and other, skins btw) and did some trial and error editing with sizes etc.

The only thing that made a difference was when I took out the anchor = "CENTER" line and I could see some of the icon poking out from under the black box. It seems that black box is positioned to cover the spell icon. I think it may have something to do with Empty.tga in Tidyplates style folder but I can't get my head around it. Is there any way I can correct this?

Thanks!

Pop open the skin.lua file for the Wide theme..

Somewhere in that file, paste the following:

Code:

function NAMEPLATE_SPECIALTEXT_DELEGATE(unit)
	return unit.health.." / "..unit.healthmax
end

Then, paste the following lines amongst the other categories:

Code:

config.specialText = {
	typeface =					path.."\\Calibri.ttf",
	size = 9,
	width = 62,
	height = 9,
	x = 0,
	y = 1,
	align = "BOTTOM",
	anchor = "LEFT",
	vertical = "TOP",
	shadow = true,
}

And, last, scroll down to "config.options = {" and place this line with the rest of the items:

Code:

showSpecialText = true,

That'll put it up on the nameplate, but you'll have to tweak its size and location. ;-)

The client fades the non-targets to 50%ish, keeping the current target's nameplate at 100% opacity. But you mean something more, right? Like an arrow or something?

But what I miss is an indicator for the current target. Besides that it is great! Good job!

Scale the tooltip? Do you mean, "scale the nameplate?"

If the latter; It's not all that much trouble to edit the theme file, and change the scale of each element. If you're looking for a slider or something, that would have to be implemented in the base addon, since this is just a theme/layout.

So when i think they dont have any more HP cause there is no more red bar they still have some more HP being hidden by the lvl/elite bar. If that make sense, id say try it and get a mob to low HP and you will see what i mean.
