Relationships Threat Plates OctoWoW

[Lemony]

Created a new threat nameplates addon for OctoWoW. This shows a threat percentage bar above each nameplate's health bar. The bar grows from 0% to 100% based on your threat level against that unit, with colour coding from green (low) to red (aggro).

== Features ==

Threat bar above the in-game health bar on nameplates
Percentage text displayed inside the bar
Smooth colour gradient: green -> yellow -> orange -> red
Kui Nameplates-style visuals (dark backgrounds, 1px inset, spark effects, glow/shadow borders, outline fonts)
Configuration GUI for all settings

== Commands ==

/tp - Open the configuration GUI
/tp toggle - Toggle threat bars on/off
/tp reset - Reset settings to defaults
/tp help - Show help


It's recommended to use the KUI-NAMEPLATES addon from my other post as it's designed to work with that.

This is fantastic, TY!!!!
Question: For a tank, it might be interesting to have the actual value of threat you have above the second-highest threat. Any chance this addon could have a "tank mode" that shows that number instead of the 100%? There are WeakAuras that do that. However, I have always being told that this client does not suport them. here is an example of such WA: https://wago.io/yssC_nf5K.

Thank you for the work. THis addon is great. I hope the threat difference is a possibility.... will make tanking as a warrior much easier.

Thank you! I will be doing updates for this addon shortly so I'll keep this in mind and see what I can do.

EDIT - I've added this feature into the newest version.

V1.2 RELEASE

### General

- Increased the default `barOffsetY` from **20** to **24** for improved nameplate positioning.
- Refined the configuration UI:
- Slider thumbs are now significantly smaller (**8×14**).
- Slider tracks have been reduced to a height of **10**.

### New Features

#### Tank Mode

- Added a **Tank Mode** toggle in **GUI → General**.
- When enabled, threat text displays your **raw threat lead** over the second-highest threat holder instead of a percentage.

- Examples:
- `+1.20K`
- `-450`

- Automatically falls back to percentage threat if absolute threat values are not yet available for the target.

#### Snap to 100% When Targeted

- Added a new **"Snap to 100% when Targeted"** option (**enabled by default**).
- When a hostile NPC is targeting you while you're in combat, its threat bar immediately snaps to **100%** and displays the aggro state.
- Once the NPC switches targets, the display returns to the actual calculated threat value.
- Improves responsiveness during encounters with random-target or target-switching mechanics.

### Improvements

#### Threat Updates

- Increased threat update frequency:
- **0.2s → 0.1s** polling interval.
- Improved threat smoothing:
- Smoothing factor increased from **0.3 → 0.6**.
- Large changes (0%, 100%, or jumps greater than 40%) now update instantly instead of smoothing.
- Results in much faster and more responsive threat bars during aggro swaps and sudden threat spikes.

#### Performance

- `ThreatEngine.GetThreatOnTarget()` now calculates both the highest and second-highest threat values in a single pass.

- Added a per-mob `tankDetailsCache` that refreshes during threat updates, allowing the UI to display Tank Mode values without additional processing.

### Try It Out

- Open the options with `/tp` and enable **Tank Mode** under **General** to see the new threat lead display.

Relationships Threat Plates — Update 1.3

This release fixes three annoying bugs that were causing nameplates to disappear, threat percentages to lie to you, and snap to show 100% on things you weren't actually tanking.

What's fixed

1. Nameplates no longer vanish when you change a setting

Previously, after changing a setting in the GUI, the addon could "lose" nameplates entirely. You'd have to disable and re-enable the addon to get them back — and even then it often broke again in the next fight.

Root cause: the plate scanner was marking invisible/pooled nameplates as "known" before it actually attached a threat bar to them. Once they were marked as known, the addon never revisited them, so they stayed bar-less forever.

2. Snap no longer makes every party-combat enemy show 100%

If you've ever seen every mob in a pull flash 100% threat even though the tank was holding them, that was the "snap" option misbehaving.

Root cause: the threat fallback was returning the party member's threat when a mob was targeting someone else. So if the tank had aggro, the addon would snap the bar to 100% for you as well. The same thing happened in several fallback spots in UpdateAllPlates, where the default placeholder was hardcoded to 100%.

3. You can now see threat over 100%

Before this update, the bar capped at 100%. That meant if you pulled aggro and the tank was still right behind you (e.g. the tank had 120% of your threat), the addon could say you were at 100% even though you were actually the one holding the mob.

What's new:

If you are the top threat holder, the percentage now shows how much threat you have compared to the second-place person. So if you're pulling 2× the runner-up's threat, you'll see 200%.
If you are not the top threat holder, the percentage shows how close you are to pulling aggro (0–100%).

The text label turns bright red at 100% or above so you can instantly tell you're the aggro holder.

The bar fill itself is still capped at 0–100% so the visual doesn't break the UI, but the number tells the real story.

This matches how threat actually works in the game: the aggro threshold is 110% in melee range and 130% at range, but once you hold aggro your own threat can be much higher than the next person. Now the addon reflects that.

You need my fixed KUI-Nameplates addon to get this working without any config for a simple drag and drop but it's really easy to setup without the KUI-Nameplates addon using the /tp command and should only take 30 seconds at most.

You can grab it here. https://octowow.st/git/Relationship/KuiNamePlates

that being said it does work without the need of KUI-Nameplates and works with the default UI as you can see in the image below. I've tested this on a fresh machine to make sure everything works.

if that doesn't work then another addon you have installed is probably causing it not to show up.
