hey kesava, cloud you make a custom template that can change plate's color by unit's buff/debuff/name, it would be great helpful 😀

This can colour the health bar for different names: https://github.com/kesava-wow/kuinameplates-customs/blob/master/custom.name-and-target-colour.lua
I could add auras to it easily enough.

Oh, thanks very much! I'll do that.

I've added auras to this script now: https://github.com/kesava-wow/kuinameplates-customs/blob/master/custom.name-and-target-colour.lua

(I'll still be exploring building it into KNP at some point)

Hi! I came here to request the same thing. I moved to using Plater, then NameplateKai because the ability to have plates be predetermined colors based on npc names/ ids makes such a huge difference in m+.

However, I really miss Kuinameplates, so I came to ask (now that m+ starts next week) if it might be possible.

I saw the link above. Noob question: how do I use it with kui (assuming it still works for shadowlands)? Will it be possible to export/ import npc color filters I set up to share with my friends?

It still works, but you have to edit the file directly to change the names or colours. So sharing would just consist of sending the modified file. See the readme in the customs repo.

I'd suggest checking https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/kuinameplates-target-helper instead (it isn't made by me so obviously I can't guarantee its function, etc.)
