need the option to see a mana/power bar on the plates :(

I probably won't make this an option, but you can force the power bar to show on every frame by commenting out a part of create.lua. In Kui_Nameplates_Core\create.lua, find this:

local function UpdatePowerBar(f,on_show)
    if  f.state.player and

And change it to this:

local function UpdatePowerBar(f,on_show)
    if  --f.state.player and

thanks, thats helped alot, but i'm sad because my old style isnt not working anymore (i think)
