rare indicator not shown on non-elites

Rare indicator is not shown on nameplates if the mob is not Elite (e.g. in expeditions). Could you please add it to those as well? Thanks!

commented

Managed to figure out what it was, should be working properly now in the latest release

commented

Hmm, thought all rares were also classified as elites... But this shouldn't be too hard to fix.

edit: It shouldn't actually matter whether they are elite or not when I looked at the code, so something else must be going on in Exps.

commented

Using that version now, still the same. The indicator is there for elites but not for non-elites.

commented

Zandalar and Kul'tiras rares are weird.

They are only classified as rares if you haven't killed them. Once you've killed them they stop being classified as rares. Even the blizzard UI should reflect this by removing the rare border once you've killed it.

So I don't think there is anything I can do about it.

commented

I can't seem to reproduce this issue, both Rare and Rare Elite mobs show up for me while in island exps.
Which mobs specifically doesn't show up as Rares? And are you sure they are rares?

commented

Didn't check in expeditions yet, will do today. I have (not) seen it on all the rares around Zandalar and Kul Tiras, they are rare according to their unit frame and tooltip as well.

commented

Just checked in an expedition and I can't see it on any rares there either.
Is there anything I can do to debug why could this be happening?

commented

I would check that you are actually using the latest version, and that the Elite Icon widget is actually enabled (If you can't see it on any rares that is).

You could try to run this command while targeting a mob that is supposed to show up as rare.
/run print(UnitClassification("target"))

Which will print which type of mob it is (normal, elite, rare, etc). If it prints 'rare' or 'rareelite' it should be showing.

Is it possible to change the indicator on a theme? I found out that the only theme that fits my needs is Quatre and I'd like to see the golden/silver stars on it because I just can't see the border.

commented

You would have to edit the themes file yourself. Refer to this for what is essentially needed.

commented

Awesome, did this and now everything is just like I wanted! Thank you!

commented

I just realized it's a problem with the theme. I've been always using Quatre and never even installed the others, but now I've tried and all the other themes has the indicator but this one.

commented

It is actually how the theme is intended to be. It, as well as some others, use a border to signify elite/rare instead of a star.

commented

After switching around it I found that the border is actually there, just so faint that I never saw it and if it's in spotlight, totally invisible. I guess I will have to switch to another theme then. :( Thank you for the feature and the help figuring this out!

commented

Not sure if it's intended or not, just noticed that the elite indicator is also present for bosses. I think it should be only one or the other.

commented

Hmm, I guess you are right. It's kind of unnecessary to have them be marked as an elite, when they are already marked as a boss.
