Makes nameplates less obtrusive and gives lists of nearby friendly/hostile units. Healing in PvP was a pain, so I wrote this to give me a list of nearby units like CT_RaidAssist's Emergency Monitor.  It shows up automatically when you enable nameplates, and tries its best to sort them into friendly and hostile columns.  To make the nameplates more bearable, the mod shrinks them slightly and puts the unit names directly over the health bar.  Hover over a unit in the list and the add-on will point to that unit with crosshairs.

How to install

Important - If you got ShaguTweaks you need to turn off nameplate scale and nameplate class colors in advanced options.
