Unofficial Ashita 4.30 port of Shirk/Nameplate, based on upstream
v0.5.1.0d. The original project is archived; this fork preserves its behavior while restoring compatibility with the current Ashita plugin API.
Download the latest tested build or see ASHITA4-PORT.md for compatibility, installation, and build details.
Nameplate is a plugin for Ashita v4 and Windower 4 that corrects XI's nameplate aspect ratio.
With this plugin, nameplates will be less blurry and the same size regardless of window size: no more stretched nameplates or having to download hacked DAT files.
| Before: stretched and blurry | After: corrected proportions |

- Download and extract the latest tested build.
- Copy
Nameplate.dlldirectly into Ashita'spluginsdirectory. The final path must beAshita\plugins\Nameplate.dll. - Do not place the DLL inside a separate
Nameplatesubfolder. - Start FFXI and run
/load Nameplate.
Make sure the plugin api version matches the Ashita 4 api version. This port requires Ashita 4 interface 4.30 and a 32-bit FFXI client.
/load Nameplate to load the plugin. /nameplate help to read the
in-game command help.
The font size can be configured via the FontSizeInPx setting in
config\nameplate\defaults.ini.
The damage font size can be configured via the DamageFontSizeInPx setting in
config\nameplate\defaults.ini.
Job Mastery stars can be hidden by setting HideStars=1 in the configuration.
Nameplate visibility modes can be changed via the NameMode setting.
Changes apply immediately but are not autosaved. Run /nameplate save to
persist them to config\nameplate\defaults.ini; /nameplate load discards
unsaved changes and reloads that file.
