ncNameplates nobgul, clanno

ncNameplates is a nameplates modifier addon. There are a lot of nameplate modifiers out there, but this one has the unique function of adding class icons to the nameplate. Well, this isn't completely unique, because Aloft can do this too, but I wanted a lightweight addon that can do this because Aloft is 3MB. Credit to Caellian, pretty much completely copied his code, adapted the fonts, textures and a little mechanics and ofcourse added the class icon.

TidyPlates:ThreatPlates suicidalkatt

Theme for TidyPlates, you must have that installed for this mod to work. ThreatPlates allow you to quickly see if you have aggro. They can be configured for dps/healing or for tanking. I use them for tanking on Vranx and I think they are great. In tanking mode the plates turn green and get smaller if I have aggro on the mob, and they turn red and get larger if I lose aggro. This makes it easy to click on a nameplate to taunt a mob back to me.

Nameplate Graphics

The nameplate graphics are inside the interface/tooltips folder. You need to maintain that structure by placing them into your own interface/tooltips folder inside your WoW folder and they will overwrite the default graphics. If you dont have a tooltips folder create one.

Tys NamePlates

This isnt a mod, they are modified graphics for the original Blizzard name plates. To get them to work you download, unzip and then place the two folders inside your Interface folder.

These graphics were created and posted by Tys in the wowace forums which were changed so the graphics were lost. They have since been reuploaded by Melikae here.
