I'm trying to customize the enemy nameplates in WoW. I've tried Aloft but found it too bloated even when I turned off most functions. I've also looked at pTags/evlNameplates but what I'm interested in doesn't exist in those packages. Namely I would like to increase the size of the enemy nameplate. I found a line in pTags/evlNameplates with "healthBar:SetHeight(12)" and I just increased the number to 20. This had the desired effect but only temporarily. Whenever I moved away from the target and came back, it would resize down to the standard size and if I targeted another mob by the same name it would not generate an "over-sized" nameplate on first function call.

In addition I tried to customize a custom nameplate .blp out-of-game to a larger size thinking that may have an effect but all it did was produce a run-time error when loading a nameplate in-game.

Any thoughts? This is not for me, I'm helping a friend who doesn't like tab-targeting while tanking in Hyjal and he believes that bigger nameplates will make it easier for him to select mobs on the fly (he is grabbing select mobs in lieu of AoE'ing them).

Cheers.


P.S. Prefer an answer to my request if possible as opposed to a critique of my friends motivation for the nameplates. Thanks.

Hi just switched from aguf to Pitbull, and I'm looking for a way to disable all raid frames (I'm a Warrior and it's not really needed) while still showing the players in my party. There is an option for AGUF to do so, but Pitbull shows every raid member's health/cast/mana bars and it's really annoying. When I disable the raid frames, I can't see my party members either.

And actually, I feel a bit daunted by reconfiguring a new unit frame add on. Is it possible to change the font size of Ag Unit Frames? I don't know if I have to dig into the LUA to do so.

In the Party frames section, on the 'Other' tab, there's an option to hide the Party frames when in a Raid. This is on by default. If you turn it off, then you will still see the party frames when you're in a raid.

I just started playing again after a 3month hiatus. I don't have a backup of my old UI. So I am starting from scratch. What is the latest in UI addons and what is everyone using? I have installed updated versions of Bartender, Prat, Pitbull, Omen, and Violation.

Hey,Im hunter, just started to raid. And i tried to create my interface , but it isnt good . Can you suggest what addons is best for raiding hunter, and mabye there is good addon pack?

I had a UI I custom made using eePanels and various addons before I took a break. I know what addons are good. I was asking if there have been any new addons released that are better or replace older ones, for example I am using kgpanels now instead of eepanels. Thats what I was referring

I used SimpleCombatLog before I took a break, I liked how it broke each part down into different colors and made it easier to read, it seems that it doesn't do that anymore. Is there a something similar?

Try Hitsmode for the combat log.

Are you able to be more specific with what "isn't good" about your UI?

Addons exist as solutions to problems or as improvements over the status quo. What are you trying to achieve?

I'm sure this functionality exists in a mod somewhere, I jut cna't seem to find it. What I'm after is a way to remember specific action bar setups, and activate them based on the role I'm currently engaged in. For instance, on my Pally I'll respec between Holy, Ret and Prot in the space of a week, and my active talents are completly different for each spec. I tried using the inactive action bars, but it didn't suit my UI. It gets old fast having to change my bars around each time, does anyone know of a way to get around this?

Anyone have any suggestions for add ons to replace Blizzard's Chat window?

I just downloaded notsimplecombat log, which is the simplecombat log of 2.4 and works only with 2.4. I downloaded it and installed it, but my combat log is still th 2.4 combat log. Does anyone know why this is?
