Nameplates

Nameplates are the floating name labels over players, creatures, corpses, and items. Lyonspyre turns them into a preset system: you build named configurations of what to show and switch between them with one click — or a hotkey.

Showing nameplates

• Hold Ctrl+Shift to show nameplates while held.
• Or toggle Stay active (see below) to keep them on without holding the keys.

Holding Ctrl+Shift also opens the nameplate overlay — a small panel that is now a preset picker.

The overlay (preset picker)

While Ctrl+Shift is held (or Stay active is on) the overlay shows:

• Your presets — click a preset name to apply it instantly. The currently-applied preset has a glowing dot.
• Stay active — keep nameplates and this overlay up after you release the keys. Uncheck it to dismiss.
• ⚙ gear — opens the manager (you can also type -nameplates).

You apply presets here. You build them in the manager.

The manager

The gear opens a configure-only manager with two tabs.

General (applies to all nameplates)

Setting	What it does
Min / Max width	Clamp the plate width. Raise the minimum for roomier plates; lower the maximum to keep them compact.
Health bar	Off, Always, or Hover — show the slim HP bar under every creature's plate always, or only when your cursor is over it.
Hide background unless mouseover	Plates render as floating text with no backing box until you point at one. Cuts clutter in a crowd.
Mark unopened corpses with *	A leading * on any corpse you have not opened yet; it clears once you have looted it.
Fade nameplates by distance	Distant plates fade out so nearby ones stand out.
Show my own nameplate	Render a plate over your own character (off by default).

Presets (what to show)

Each preset is a named filter. Pick a preset to edit, then toggle which things it shows, grouped into collapsible categories:

• Items — Containers, Stackable, Gold / coins, Static / locked, Other.
• Corpses — Monster, Humanoid, My own.
• Special — Party members, My pets.
• Mobiles by type — Humanoid (NPC), Monster, Player.
• Mobiles by notoriety — Innocent, Ally, Gray, Criminal, Enemy, Murderer, Invulnerable.

A preset shows a thing if it matches any enabled box. So a Corpses preset with only the corpse boxes ticked shows nothing but corpses; a PvP preset that ticks Player and Enemy/Murderer surfaces the people who matter in a fight. Click a category header to toggle all of its boxes at once.

Buttons: + New (a fresh preset copies the one you are editing), Rename, Delete. Edits save the moment you make them.

Per-preset hotkey

Each preset can have a hotkey. Open the preset, click Set, and press the key combination you want (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+1). From then on that chord applies the preset from anywhere in-game. Clear removes it. Hotkeys are tied to the preset by name, so renaming or reordering keeps them working. (A hotkey never fires while you are typing in chat.)

Notes

• Players and My pets are identified by the server, so they are accurate even for people and pets you have not interacted with.
• Presets and all general settings are saved per character.
