Larger Nameplates

Guides UI and Macro
1

What happened to the Blizzard default “Larger Nameplates”? They’re WAY too big now, especially the ‘target’!

I see a lot of other people having trouble with this.

I included an image. It’s all taken from WoW screenshots taken in 1920x1080 (no addons).

For some reason I can’t post links, but it can be found in “imgur” @ /a/2PpuuRq

Hope this will get some attention, for the sake of everyone who plays with Larger Nameplates (no addons).

Try typing /run SetCVar(“nameplateSelectedScale”, 1.0)

SOLVED!

Hennig’s suggestion was the solution, tho the “” were misplaced by ““

The new default settings are 1.2 for SelectedScale (way too large)

Solution to get the pre-patch Larger Nameplates back:

/run SetCVar(“nameplateSelectedScale”, 1.0)
/run SetCVar(“nameplateGlobalScale”, 1.0)

I used the addon AdvancedInterfaceOptions’ CVar Browser to help me out a bit.

Thank you Hennig!

For completeness

/run SetCVar(“nameplateVerticalScale”, 2.7) is what enables large nameplates.

Vertical scale 1.0 = Small nameplates.
Vertical scale 2.7 = Large nameplates.

This is the CVar that determines whether ‘Larger Nameplates’ are active or not. (Although at the moment the blizz settings ui is broken and will show larger nameplates enabled if the cvar is not 2.7, regardless of value)
