I know this was a year ago, but I just looked this up today to fine tune my plater profile and can't thank you enough. Thank you so much for making a clear, concise how-to video with time stamps.
Thank you for the great walkthrough. I love Wow so much because of the customization but boy it is ALOT when you come over these things for the first times. Without people like you it would be impossible for new players (or even Veterans) to set up these addons
You're welcome, I am glad it was helpful. Would be lying if I didn't admit that Plater's options screen scared me for so long because of how intimidating it can be when starting out. Thanks for the sub!
thank god for you! this mod in Tercioo's import kept making the dot auras freak out below 10 seconds. i went in to mods that you show at 5 minutes, typed time and found the crazy thing making it happen.
Thanks very helpful. Mainly stuck to Blizz UI for years but finally came round to investing time in UI improvements as it seems the only way to keep up in Classic!
Do you know how to get rid of the white horizontal bar that is on all nameplate health bars when an absorb is present? I would like to see the amount it is absorbing, but I do not like the constant white horizontal bar showing up.
I have a question. I'm trying to load an existing profile and adjust some things. Things with "*" behind the setting keep resetting when loading. Is it possible to turn this off or save a new setting? Eternaly grateful if you can help.
I seem to have an issue with 1 character now, not showing nameplates at all in the default setting. When using Plater, is it normal it doesn't allow for certain profiles to be deleted? They just remain there!
Editing critique: 6:20 When you show the script trigger event, the snap transition to zoomed gives the implication that the addon itself makes your vision be disrupted when an ability like that is cast to focus on it. This may make players who are watching this think something like that is going to happen and as such avoid the mod. Staying focused in a single frame to show exactly how it will go down is the ideal way to represent it. Very good video just wanted to give you feedback.
Hi! I have been trying very hard to change my actual plater config's font, like you have, been I have been unable to no matter what I try. Is there a mod or addon you used to do it? Mine is stuck in 2002 bold and overlaps in some sections.
A short question, I saw some weakauras items marked as Plater Mods, does that mean only installing addon Plater that item shall be allowed to import to weakauras?
So helpful! I dont know why you wanted to turn the combo points on however, that was just annoying seeing it on everything and not needed. But each to their own. Without your guide I would be screwed because this Plater is BS to figure out for non programers like me! thankyou legend!
Hi there, very nice guide!!! i have one question, i have friendly player nameplates bright green but when friendly player is in combat it changes to dark green is it possible to turn if off? and keep the same colour when is in combat and out of combat? Thanks.
everything is perfect, just can't found how can i turn off nameplate of friendly players/npc i want only the colored name without health bar ... its not shows when they have full hp, but pops up imperiality after they lost hp... can't found where i can turn this off. dont want to see nameplate hp bar
I have a question.,... In WOW Classic I tried to set a execution mod but it dont display the exevution bar at the set value (25% for me). Do I have to activate the execution bar somewhere first?
i love plater other than the other name plate addons out there but i cant get the cast bars to show up. im using elvui and weakauras as well. any help to reset or show them?
Realy nice video! Thank you! Is there any option to remove all names? From players and npcs nameplates? Also... I wanted to change Friendly Nameplate Width smaller than 50, is it possible?
Do you know if there's an option that allow me ONLY ENABLE the addon INSIDE of a dungeon ? In Raid or outside i don't want addon to run... is it possible or do i have to enable/disable manually ?
Hey m8. Do you know if we can add our anchor our weakauras to the nameplate? I've made a custom rotatiom if icons for spells, and it would be nice if could always have it on top of my nameplates😎
somehow me changing any alpha doesnt change anything, something is put wrong and i have no clue where. (i cant even get transparency with the standard UI)
Is it possible to hide enemy pet nameplates or some of them? I hate to play agaisnt demo lock in arena there are 6734983479 pets and i see nothing from the nameplates. It would be nice if I could see the felguard and the tyrant but not the imps, dreadstalkers and other shit. Thank you for the informative video, and thanks in advance for your help!
How do I interact with the bar? I used to be able to do mouseovers with tidy plates. Can Plater do the same? As opposed to "mouse-overing" the target's character itself.
currently in WOTLK arena i struggle with the snake trap of hunters. The HP bars of the snakes are way to big. Any way i can remove or make critter hp bars very small with plater?
I'd love to start scripting some custom mods in plater, but the UI is complete garbage. I wish it they outlined some clear directives on where I'm supposed to code and how to apply it.
Hey guys, whenever I enter a dungeon/mythic...the nameplates for friendly players just vanishes and I'm left with the standard blizzard nameplate...but only for friendly. Any ideas?! Thanks :D
Yeah, sadly Blizzard made a change in Legion (patch 7.2 if I remember right), that blocks addon developers from making changes to friendly plates in dungeons/raids/instances. Turns out people were abusing some of the functionality and spoiled the fun for everybody.
can someone help me? i have done something in plater where the dots etc show up inside of the HP bar. i dont want that and tried to manipulate the Y- and X- set but it just wont change. what did i just click..? does anyone know how to fix that problem?
thanks alot ! but i still have this weird bug, that the nameplates of the opposite faction doesnt show .. i can see the name, guild etc .. but there is no healthbar .. do you have any tip for me ?
is there a setting to make it so the nameplates hop around so much? For example: 10 mobs are being aoed, they're all moving around a tiny bit so the nameplates keep getting shuffled for me and I often misclick the right target due to this.
Hey man great video. But i came across a problem, when using this addon i have 2 cast bars the one from the addon and the one from blizzard ui. Any info on how to turn off the second? Trying to do it all day (in WoW classic woltk)
Hardcore question: I want to make mobs ONE LEVEL above or higher to be obvious - I've died by simply hitting a yellow numbered mob - only to find it was two levels above and was able to nuke me with fast casted fireballs.
Hey thanks for a realtid good video!! In wondering if you cude look in to how to get the popular Ethric's Arrow Target indicators to work in plater? Know alot of ppl asking and want to know. Hope you can help
Is there a way to make casting mobs appear at the bottom of the stack? so that when you are making big pulls the casting mobs nameplates are always in the same place
There isn't a way to do this by default that I know of. It is something that would be possible with a script or mod... but it doesn't look like anyone had created on on wago.io yet :(
Hi, do you know how to make a nameplate change in color if you are targetting it? I would rather have it change in color than just by putting a highlight on it. Thanks!
guys i've been looking for this for ages: - how to make Plater show the ACTUAL health of the mob/player? I mean, I want to see the full Health, for example 16721 instead of 16,7K. Is it possible? Pleae help it's driving me nuts!
hey man how can you move the marks > skull, diamond etc? they are on the right position on the bracket/plate? Im talking about when u wanna mark something, an enemy for m+ u wanna cc
i play a tank as a main and im wondering, is there a way that i can make the nameplates smaller when i have threat on enemies and normal size or larger, when i dont have threat on a mob? playing WotLK classic atm
I have my enemy player nameplates a normal size and friendly player plates really thin but now im trying to display enemy player pets and totems to have a very narrow health bar. Any idea how to do this?
Sure! If you go under the "Advanced" tab in your Plater settings you'll see a section called "Special Units" in the third column. There are a few sliders there that will let you change the scale for pets and other minor units.
Great content...I use plater for pve and for pvp blizzards classic nameplates but when i uncheck the plater from the addons dont bring back the classic blizzard nameplates..can you help me find a solution??
I'm here because my plater isn't acting right after the update. What annoys me most is I can't see class colors or differentiate between friendly and enemy players. They're all in that hard to read purple/blue text

I know this was a year ago, but I just looked this up today to fine tune my plater profile and can't thank you enough. Thank you so much for making a clear, concise how-to video with time stamps.
3 years later and this is such a huge help to know where to look in the addon! thanks!
Thank you for the great walkthrough. I love Wow so much because of the customization but boy it is ALOT when you come over these things for the first times. Without people like you it would be impossible for new players (or even Veterans) to set up these addons
thanks dude, i was really overwhelmed with all the options and this video really did help
Thank you so much for making this video. The plater options panel is outright daunting but your video was incredibly useful. Subbed for updates! :)
You're welcome, I am glad it was helpful. Would be lying if I didn't admit that Plater's options screen scared me for so long because of how intimidating it can be when starting out. Thanks for the sub!
Excellent walk through...I was struggling with getting my name plates set up correctly. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
The guide is amazing thank you a ton! Very well put together and easy to follow!
thank god for you! this mod in Tercioo's import kept making the dot auras freak out below 10 seconds. i went in to mods that you show at 5 minutes, typed time and found the crazy thing making it happen.
Glad I could help!
sooo many thxx I finally found what I have missed on this add-on
Glad I was able to help!
Most useful wow addon video i've ever seen.congrats
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I've been using Plater for a long time, and consider myself quite good with it, but I still learned something!
Thanks, happy to hear it!
exactly what I was looking for, Thanks man!
Amazing video, thanks for the effort you put into this!
Thanks very helpful. Mainly stuck to Blizz UI for years but finally came round to investing time in UI improvements as it seems the only way to keep up in Classic!
Plater and weakauras is all you'll need for a good and helpful UI. ♥️
you are a saint, big shout out to you for this video that is incredibly helpful!
Hey nice video , do you have a wago import that works for plater addon to track CC"s on friendly healer ? thx :P
Coach, this is a damn good guide.
Awesome guide,,,, I was looking for a profile for guardian mage tower,,,, I couldn't find what I saw in the guides .Thank you so much
Do you know how to get rid of the white horizontal bar that is on all nameplate health bars when an absorb is present? I would like to see the amount it is absorbing, but I do not like the constant white horizontal bar showing up.
damn this is a clear and nice guide, thank you!
How can i show i.e. poison arrow on the heatlh bar
but using the standart blizzard healthbar design.
Really nice Guide!
Thanks!

does this work in classic wow? cant seem to see the number value or percentage of enemy names
Thanks for the guide ..!
Hey, do you happen to know if it's possible to blacklist specific spells? Things like Shoot and Hack etc, I'd prefer not to see them.
So helpful! I dont know why you wanted to turn the combo points on however, that was just annoying seeing it on everything and not needed. But each to their own. Without your guide I would be screwed because this Plater is BS to figure out for non programers like me! thankyou legend!
Iirc in future expansions you dont lose the CP as easily or something like that.. Only thing I can think of that could make it useful.
Hi there, very nice guide!!! i have one question, i have friendly player nameplates bright green but when friendly player is in combat it changes to dark green is it possible to turn if off? and keep the same colour when is in combat and out of combat?
Thanks.

@@tomasrickevicius7518 Thank you!
