⚔️ Blizz Nameplates+

Current version: v1.0.7
Required: SuperWoW.dll and ClassicAPI.dll

- Numeric aura timers and stack counters
- Separate Crowd Control tracking with an optional dedicated row
- Optional supported CC effects from other players
- Enemy castbars with spell icons
- Blizzard-style Combo Points for Rogues and Druids
- Target Glow and Target Plate on Top
- Health text, class colors and Tank Mode
- Foreign-tagged mobs shown with a neutral grey healthbar
- Adjustable nameplate scale, Y offset, aura size and non-target alpha
- Instant target-alpha updates and clean nameplate/aura layering
- In-game settings through the BN+ minimap button or
/bnp
🔎 New: Missing Spell / Aura Recorder
Missing a spell, DoT, proc or custom-server aura? The new recorder creates one complete, copyable diagnostic report—no screenshots or manual chat commands required.
- Open the BNP settings and click Missing Spell / Aura...
- Select the affected unit.
- Click Start Recording.
- Apply the aura, refresh it while active, then let it expire or remove it.
- Click Stop, followed by Copy Report.
- Paste the report into your bug report or support message.
The report includes the relevant Spell IDs, aura timing, target data and refresh events. The recorder is completely inactive until Start Recording is pressed and stops when the window is closed.
📦 Requirements
Both DLLs are required and must be loaded before the game starts.
SuperWoW.dll
Provides the GUID, unit, combat and cast information used for multi-target tracking, castbars and nameplate identification.
ClassicAPI.dll
Provides exact nameplate resolution and more reliable aura information, including Spell IDs, durations and expiration times. It is also used for instant target-alpha updates and the recorder’s direct Copy Report function.
Keep both DLLs up to date. Without them, Blizz Nameplates+ is not supported.
