Is something wrong with the servers health bars?

[Sillyturtle 0]

So I've tried now with two working versions of Xperl and one working version of Perl unit frames, but I am unable to display the numeric values of peoples health. It shows their mana numbers just fine as well as mana and health percentages, just not the numeric health values. It shows mine just fine. They are toggled correctly and I have even toggled them off and on serveral times to no luck. There are no other Addons interfering with this. It's my UI, I made it myself and know how it works. Also, I've been using Xperl and Perl unit frames for more than 6 years.

 

Here's a screenshot to show what I mean.

You are not supposed to know the exact values. It's how it was back then.

You are incorrect. Every single Vanilla server shows the total value and Nostalrius isn't coded as well as some of them are.

 

It also shows exact mana values. If you were right, it wouldn't.

You are only supposed to see the values of grouped players. But mana was always visible.

Correct!

I'm sorry, but you're both wrong. Here's proof. And I've got more screenshots too.

Well, to be precise:

Rhena is correct. In the early vanilla patches (Which is where Nost settles on currently) the health was only visible in percentages.

Later in the pre tbc patches it was added to be visible.

Meaning at some point they will be visible on Nost.

Correct.

On the other hand, @Sillyturtle there are some Add-Ons such as MobInfo that estimate the HP of an enemy and give you the numeric value of it after taking a little bit of damage. Let say you hit the mob for 54 and he loses 2% HP, the Add-On is then able to estimate its HP to 2700.

Well that makes sense then, the fact that it was visible Pre TBC but not prior. I knew my memories of vanilla having numeric values wasn't false, but now Rhena is also correct that Nost in it's current form is not at Pre TBC levels.

 

Thank you for clearing this up everyone, and thank you Lawinn for informing me about Mobinfo.

Many other private servers do not care about this and have toggled health to be always visible to all players.

MobHealth3Config = {

}

no problems for me :)
