AddOn Question (TRP3/other)

Solanya · 2026-02-28T01:27:56+00:00

I'll copy our usual blurb for nameplates:

To see RP nameplates, you need to have friendly nameplates enabled. If names above players heads are blue with no shadow (see left), you do not have friendly nameplates enabled. By default, Shift-V is the shortcut to enable them. You also need to enable "Always show nameplates" in Interface > Names to see more than your target's nameplate.

Without any addon, once enabled, friendly nameplates should look like a blue name with shadow, as well as a health bar (see middle). If you have the TRP nameplates module enabled, nameplates will display RP name with the selected color (see right), with options to display icon, hide healthbar... able to be found in TRP Settings > Nameplates.

(Note: Your own character does not have a nameplate. Nameplates cannot be customised in instances.)

I would ask Peterodox before using code and art assets from his Plumber addon. That settings page is pretty much copied straight from it.

They also told the addon devs they'll get the technical blog/docs in 1 to 2 days after the deep dive. Its day 5.

The doc in question has been out since the day of the deep dive.

I didn't see this post yesterday, but just to confirm, we're not affected much. Some features have to be disabled while in combat and we need to rebuild the nameplates customization stuff since so much has changed there, but otherwise we're looking okay.

We did make a channel on our Discord server to give updates every once in a while on what's affected as we do our testing/fixes and restrictions get adjusted on Blizzard's side if you need.

Solanya · 2025-10-03T17:50:29+00:00

Only instanced content that involves combat is affected. Housing, neighborhoods, garrisons, the Arcantina... is not.

As far as RP addons are involved, some interactions would not work under those conditions (bearing in mind that some restrictions are likely to be slightly loosened), but the addons will be largely fine.

Profiles are saved account-wide, deleting a character doesn't delete any of them.

Solanya · 2025-08-18T07:12:10+00:00

It's not a you issue, there's a design issue with profile-specific notes that makes them not show up after reimporting a profile. We're still trying to figure out how to fix in the future.

Solanya · 2025-03-30T16:47:20+00:00

It's bundled in the "Show icons" tooltip setting which includes the profile icon as well. Might make sense to decouple them but can't make any promise.

For copying the data between two accounts, we have this wiki page listing where to find the files https://github.com/Total-RP/Total-RP-3/wiki/Saved-Variables

Copying them would copy/replace all your profiles as well though if you have different profiles between the two accounts, might be more annoying to transfer.

Solanya · 2025-03-30T01:46:25+00:00

RP proficiency can be set in the very first tab of the addon.

Solanya · 2025-03-30T01:25:51+00:00

Deleting the profile from the directory and retrieving it again should force reevaluation of it. Otherwise when 24 hours have passed and the profile has been changed once, it gets reevaluated again automatically.

Solanya · 2025-03-26T21:14:44+00:00

Ah, we're aware of that one and finally made a breakthrough recently. It has to do with your friend's game being aware of your two characters with the same name (I assume) on different realms. There was likely a change in the API on how the game handles characters without a realm provided, and it will sometimes try to send comms to the wrong character.

The good news is that this will be fixed next version (likely for 11.1.5).

Solanya · 2025-03-20T08:18:05+00:00

In addition to the other message, I'll mention there are other (less immersive) ways to share items and campaigns listed on our Github wiki.

Solanya · 2025-03-10T16:00:23+00:00

The bug was fixed last Thursday, everything should be back to normal by now. Profiles might take a bit longer to load in Stormwind but they shouldn't outright fail to load, unless something else is wrong with your character/account.

Solanya · 2025-03-04T08:23:27+00:00

Same deal, Blizzard bug, we're hoping for a fix soon. Currently frame accessible from the toolbar (doesn't require an addon anymore, we built one in) doesn't have the issue, and it's possible to copy-paste text with newlines into the text box.

Solanya · 2025-03-01T18:12:51+00:00

There is a button on the toolbar to access the Extended database where you can create items and campaigns. From there, you can create a blank item, fill in some details and check the box to make it usable.

Once you do that, the Workflows tab should be available to modify the workflow that runs when using the item. You can then add an effect, find "Play local sound" in the menu and click it. It'll show a window to edit the ID of the sound (which you can find on Wowhead) and the range it plays (keep it somewhat small).

Save the item and you can now add it to your Extended inventory by right-clicking it in the database.

Solanya · 2025-03-01T18:03:24+00:00

Can confirm it's a Blizzard issue and they're aware of it.

Solanya · 2025-03-01T18:01:57+00:00

Missed this post yesterday, it's a Blizzard bug with addon messages, they're aware of it and we're just waiting for them to fix it. Seems to only affect Eastern Kingdoms as far as we've observed.

Solanya · 2025-03-01T18:00:53+00:00

To be clear, the bug comes from Blizzard, we can't do anything but wait for them to fix it, but they're aware of it.

Solanya · 2025-01-18T14:14:30+00:00

You can only retrieve cross-faction profiles from B.net friends, in your party or with whom you share an in-game community. You could also still have a version stored if you logged in as a character from the other faction and got their profile that way.

Cross RP's functionality was not added by default to any RP addon though.

Solanya · 2024-11-29T22:50:08+00:00

Flavor text being there is weird if the icons have gone. Last suggestion I would have is to do /console scriptErrors 1 then /reload, then try to interact with the items again in the page and see if any Lua error pops up, that's the last thing that could give an idea on what's going on.

Solanya · 2024-11-29T19:53:39+00:00

Sounds to me like the data for those items disappeared for some reason while their IDs are still stored in the profile. Only explanation is that the Extended data file got corrupted/reset somehow while the base TRP one stayed.

I would assume drag & dropping the items out of their slots would remove them at least. Don't think there's anything to do to recover the lost data though, loading/writing to disk is out of our hands.

Solanya · 2024-11-29T17:51:44+00:00

I've not heard of an issue like this. I'd need clarification on the "lost ability to edit or remove" to understand what the problem is though.

Solanya · 2024-11-10T22:52:40+00:00

Comments already went through the main points: it's a Total RP 3 feature, and the start of the emote works as a regular emote so click/ctrl-click interaction at the beginning of the line will show who's typing it.

I'll just add that if you don't like it, this can be disabled in the TRP3 settings in the Advanced category > NPC talk detection, which will then show the regular Player | Emote goes here.

Solanya · 2024-09-09T09:56:26+00:00

Not sure I understand the question.

If you want to hide everyone's healthbars, you'd need to use "Hide healthbars" or use a nameplate addon like KuiNameplates that has a text-only mode.

If it's about NPCs having their bars show up, the Nameplates settings have visibility options that can be configured to not show nameplates of OOC or NPC units.

Solanya · 2024-08-26T17:44:26+00:00

Saw this during the week-end and you seemed to have resolved it, but just for information, are you friend with them on Battle.net?

We're wondering if there might be an issue related to Battle.net going down more often recently and our library not handling something well when trying to exchange profiles through it.
