Nameplate

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.

Future updates, if any, will be provided at Nameplate's GitHub repository.

The current version of Nameplate on this website is Nameplate v0.50 (2023-12-03).

Errata for the most recent release

The in-game help text for the Windower version displays incorrectly. Please refer to the documentation below for the correct information.

Download

Ashita v4 users should make sure to download the correct version that matches the Ashita 4 api version. To check which Ashita 4 interface version you have, use the /aversion command in-game.

If you have the most recent version of Ashita v4, then the Ashita 4 interface 4.16 version is the one that you want.

HorizonXI users using the bundled version of Ashita v4 should use the Ashita 4 interface 4.15 version of Nameplate (information current as of 2023-12-01).

Windower 4 users can use any of the below versions.
