-- ThreatPlates v1.1.0 For OctoWoW / Turtle WoW

Threat percentage bars above nameplates -- Styled after Kui Nameplates -- Standalone - no dependencies required

= ThreatPlates =

  • 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)
  • Completely standalone - no dependencies
  • Configuration GUI for all settings
  • Works with Turtle WoW / Octo WoW (Vanilla 1.12 client)

== Commands ==

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

== Configuration ==

All settings are accessible via the /tp GUI:

  • Smooth Colours (gradient transitions)

== Threat Detection ==

ThreatPlates uses a three-tier threat detection system:

  1. UnitDetailedThreatSituation (Turtle WoW extension) - most accurate
  2. GetThreatPercent API (if available) - precise percentage
  3. UnitThreatSituation with heuristics - fallback estimation

The addon polls threat every 0.2 seconds and updates nameplate visuals every 0.3 seconds for smooth animation.

== Installation ==

  1. Extract the ThreatPlates folder to your Interface/AddOns/ directory
  2. Restart WoW or reload the UI (/console reloadui)
  3. Type /tp to configure

== Version History ==
