Description
During combat, party member nameplates can create a lot of visual clutter. I’d like to request a tweak that automatically abbreviates party member names while in combat, and restores their full names when combat ends.
Proposed behavior
- In combat: abbreviate names (e.g., John Doe → J.D.).
- Out of combat: restore full names.
- Apply only to party members by default, with optional support for alliance members.
Configuration ideas (under Nameplate settings)
- Enable combat-only abbreviation
- Abbreviation style (radio buttons):
- ( ) Initials only (J.D.)
- ( ) First name only (John)
- ( ) First initial + full last name (J. Doe)
- Separator style:
- ( ) Periods (J.D.)
- ( ) No periods (JD)
- ( ) Hyphen (J-D)
- Abbreviation style (radio buttons):
- Apply to party members only (default)
- Apply to alliance members as well
Considerations
- Handle duplicate initials gracefully (e.g., optional numbering, or fallback to shortened last name).
- Ensure original names are cached/restored correctly when leaving combat.
- Keep performance in mind since this would hook into nameplate updates.
Why this would help
Shorter nameplates improve clarity in combat while still allowing full readability in downtime and social settings.
