Boss Mod Nameplates enhances your nameplates addon in adding the support of popular Boss Mod (BigWigs and DBM).
Installation : Dependencies Needed :
The dependencies are not included in the packages downloaded directly from Curse website.
You have two solutions at this issue :
- Install manually the following dependencies : PLoop and Scorpio .
- Or download it from Curse.App because they are automatically installed with the addon.
How it works ?
The boss mods like BigWigs and DBM can give instructions to your nameplates addon to ask if it could display or hide a specific aura on nameplates given. In order this feature works, your nameplates addon must support it. If this isn't the case, don't worry, this is where Boss Mod Nameplates comes in, handling the display part instead of your nameplates addon so you see the icons asked by your boss mod.
Take note that Boss Mod Nameplates isn't here to replace your nameplate addons but can be considered as extension of this last. By example, from my side, my nameplates are handled by : Tidy Plates as main nameplates addon and Boss Mod Nameplates for the boss mods & WeakAuras part.
