Known issues

FAQ:
Q) Will PlateBuffs work on mobs?
A) Yes. but since mobs can share the same name you'll need to target or mouseover the nameplate so PlateBuffs can determine which nameplate belongs to what mob. Once that nameplate disappears from the screen and reappears you'll need to mouseover/target again.
Q) What's the question mark for?
A) It can mean 2 things. 1) We don't know what mob that nameplate belongs to, 2) We don't know what spells are on that mob/player. In both cases you need to target/mouseover the nameplate.
Q) Will PB work with non default nameplates?
A) PB should work with Tidy Plates, Aloft and caelNameplates. PB may or may not work with other nameplate addons.
Q) Can I have specific buff options?
A) Yes. Open PlateBuff's options (/pb) and go to the Specific Spells menu. In there you can add spells and choose always/mine/never show, icon size and cooldown text size. Some spells are added by default to have large icons.
Q) Why do spells blink?
A) Spells will blink if there's less then 20% of the time remaining.
Q) Can you add a clockwise cooldown overlay to the spell icons?
A) Unfortunately the clock cooldown doesn't work well on frames that are constantly moving around the screen. It tends to disappear while the frame's moving and only appear when the icon's perfectly still. So as soon as you move, they move or your camera moves (including breathing up and down motion) the overlay disappears. Sorry.
Q) Why does PB use up so much memory?
A) A large part of it is a spell ID table used to add spell descriptions and icons to the specific spells list. Disable Add Spell Descriptions in the core options (and relog) to see the true memory usage. FYI: Memory usage has little impact on game play. CPU usage is what lowers FPS.
Q) How do I turn off all buffs except those on my Specific Spells list?
A) In PlateBuffs' options, set both "Show Buffs" and "Show Debuffs" to none.

    Please update to 4.3?! i cant play pvp without this addon. most important pvp addon for me!

     

  • #139

    Hey, any chance for 4.3 update? ;p

     

  • #138

    Feature Request,

      I'm not a big add on creator so tell me if this is just stupid but, I'd like the option to be able to change the timer into the clockwise shading you see on spells or on lose control.

    So many numbers just get lost unless I need a specific one.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi, i have a question: can i disable the "standard casts"? I want to choose on my own, what buffs and debuffs i can see...
    I put all the buffs wich are importent for me to "special casts"
    But i cant disable the buffs from "standard casts". Everytime a rogue use "sprint", i see that, but i won't see that...
    :(

    Feature Request:

    Currently I use threat plates and being able to turn off minions/pets/totems health bars is really fantastic. Also being able to color code the cast bar based on if it's interuptable.

    Unless it's already compatable :P
  • #136
    nvm they're compatble :P
  • #133
    Every time I log into the game with the latest version, I get a lua error saying the addon requires version LibAurainfo-1.0 but that folder is already present in the library folder of the addon.
  • #134
    It's still happening with 1.11.0?
  • #130
    I really love this add on and hope that it can be maintained. It gives a lot more options than TidyPlates and is outstanding for battleground play. Additionally, it is more efficient than TidyPlates for raid environments (used CPU profiling to test).
  • #131
    To be fair, LibNameplate does most of the nameplate processing, be sure to include it too when profiling CPU usage. if LibNameplate isn't listed then it's likely being included in PlateBuff's CPU usage.

    I haven't played WoW in almost a year. I got a trial account which I can test minor things but testing and new things is sometimes troublesome. I just haven't felt the desire to play Cata.

    hi

    Q) Can I have specific buff options?
    A) Yes. Open PlateBuff's options (/pb) and go to the Specific Spells menu. In there you can add spells and choose always/mine/never show, icon size and cooldown text size. Some spells are added by default to have large icons.
  • #128
    how did you make this addon work again ? ... to me it still sais that this addon is out of date atm ( meaning not working and it needs an update)
  • #129
    make sure you tick "Load out of date addon" it'll work fine

    to @zelfrax as I try w/ Polymorph and other cc spell.
    It seem target must be in combat or the buff won't show. (i.e. you must attack it first)
