You can use the "rested" state and then just revert the setting back when you lose "rested" state.

Dalaran is worse than Shat was, everything is so close quarters...

The following script will hide enemy nameplates in rested areas (how to enable it, see https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/wiki/Scripting-Custom-Styles):

It enables it outside of cities which makes sense, I guess, as if you want to also hide enemy plates outside of cities you could just disable them. What do you think?

When in a sanctuary city, and you can't attack people, I think it would be great to disable the nameplates. Like everyone is a friend in town... I couldn't attack them if I wanted to. No point in having all the clutter on the screen just because someone is the opposite faction. I'll try the script, thanks!

Most up-to-date version: https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/wiki/Custom-Style-Examples

Can you just make this a core feature? Having to add it manually seems clunky.

It would be great to just have it enabled by default for everyone. I hear the same issue every time I introduce people to Threat Plates.

Well, you only have to add it once (and update it, I guess). So, I don't consider that a bad solution in general.

I want to rework the whole Automation section as there are several issues regarding this and I also think that more options would help a lot, but not in the immediate future as I will work on other stuff first.

Hey @Backupiseasy ,

Just an FYI, the link in the previous comment is broken.

Also, there's no "ok" or "save" button... just a "close" button on the import screen. Little weird.

When you try and import from https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/wiki/Custom-Style-Examples

You get this. In Wrath Classic.

The link is broken as I disabled internal issues on CurseForge. The data would still be there, but it is no longer accessible. That's why I copied all text into these issues here :)

Did you try to import a custom nameplate? The screenshot above shows that you use the function to import a profile (under Profiles). That will not work. Importing custom nameplates is done unter Custom Nameplates - General Settings.

Also, you need to enable scripting first with /tptp toggle-scripting

I don't know... I think the UX isn't intuitive.

I just get errors, and there's no way to delete a custom entry.

No delete once you add "unit:1" - meh, sorry mate the UX here needs work.

I wouldn't hide anything behind /tptp toggle-scripting, I would just add it as a tab.

For everything you'll need a Create, Read, Update, and Delete.

I get you've written some, and I skimmed it, but I think I'll just wait until this is default functionality. It's been something I've wanted for a long time, but what you're sending me doesn't work for me in Wrath Classic.

Why is it needed? Well this is me walking around town... =P

What's the difference between "Duplicate" & "Copy" here?

I did find the delete button... but yeah... it's just a bit hard to use. Sorry mate. I'll keep playing.

Just so we're clear... I went here.

Then I clicked Import...

Pasted in script from here https://github.com/Backupiseasy/ThreatPlates/wiki/Custom-Style-Examples

Then I got this error.

Did I do some thing wrong, or is there a bug?

Also tried "new" but didn't have any luck that way either.

• https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates/issues/503
  • In Shattrath, the sheer number of nameplates makes it hard to see anything. I end up disabling nameplates but then sometimes forget to turn them back on. Given that Shattrath is a Sanctuary, it would be nice if nameplates could be off in this zone, or in all Sanctuaries. Either some sort of option to blanket disable nameplates in Shat. Does anyone want to see nameplates in Shattrath? Is this perhaps something that should be done in all towns?

This is how you correctly import a custom style, correct:

As you get an error message, you probably import wrong import string. Using the above

works for me without any error message when importing. Which one did you import that did not work? Can you post it here? That's the only way for me to verify what is going wrong.

Scripting is not yet finished that's why it is not enabled by default. Most people should be fine with just importing styles, creating new ones, you obviously have to know Lua and programming, so it is indeed not indended for the normal user.

Duplicate means duplicating a custom style, e.g., creating a new style which has the same settings as the old one. Copy just copies als settings and you can afterwards paste them into an existing one. It depends on the situation what makes more sense, I guess.

Sure.

Using the code you posted... I get this.

I'm on the latest from Curseforge, in Wrath Classic.

It seems to "work" in the city, but it also seems to have changed some of my settings...

The import was not just that setting, it seems to be all the data around the bars. All the custom fonts and tweaks I made seem gone now. I can re-build it but yeah... I think this isn't ready for prime time. It was a little bit of a pain to set it all up the way I wanted it before so the fonts matched my UI. I've toyed with the settings since Vanilla and had them exactly where I wanted them. Oh well.

Really want I want is just another setting here...

Now the "always show" is bugging me because I've clearly over ridden the "always" part.

Show nameplates when not rested.
Always show nameplates.
...

Or maybe just someplace where it says... I play around with it, but I don't know what all the settings mean.

Enable Threatplates Everywhere
Enable ThreatPlates When Not In Town (Rested)

The wording on all the settings gets me.

Here's where the setting should be.

In Town

Show Enemy Nameplates | Show Friendly Nameplates.

Just a small thing about UX, and it just threw me even...

"On should mean on."

One is toggle to turn on, the other is toggle to turn off. This could use a bit of work. (=

I had a backup of my saved variables from a week ago. No harm no foul. Love to see this feature added WITHOUT having to add a custom script. I think any time you add custom scripts your audience is just the dev who wrote it. (=
