I would first try to contact the author and ask him if he still got old release for vanilla.

Else Lemour here on ownedcore seem to have a vanilla addons pack, but idk if it contain addons like that. You should go take a look.

Thanks for your advice. I already did contact the authors but none has replied yet and I checked the vanilla addon pack, doesn't seem to have what I am looking for.
I use these three addons on the official servers to hide certain ui elements such as the target ring/mark on the ground, target name (also when clicked on a npc,mob, player), zone/subzone, xp gain & damage text.

Well I think I've found this but since the text into his screenshot seemed to be in german i couldn't understand what this addons was offering. It should work with 1.12.0 so loading out of date addons might work.
Check this out I uploaded it there.

Thanks but this addon only increases the max camera distance.

I managed to hide the Error Frame with this script
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

the selection circle with this
/console objectselectioncircle 0

XP Gain Text
hideXP - v1.0 - WoW AddOns - CurseForge

to hide zone/subzone text I used this the New Font Addon, openend it with AddOn Studio for World of Warcraft and replaced the text with this:

ZoneTextFrame:UnregisterAllEvents()
ZoneTextFrame:SetScript("OnShow", function() this:Hide() end)
ZoneTextFrame:Hide()
SubZoneTextFrame:UnregisterAllEvents()
SubZoneTextFrame:SetScript("OnShow", function() this:Hide() end)
SubZoneTextFrame:Hide()


On the official servers I used Fonter to hide names of your current selected target, I just replaced the font with a blankfont but unfortunately Fonter isn't compatible with 1.12.
I tried to edit fonts.xml from the FrameXML folder by changing the color codes to transparent but everytime I try to start WoW it says that the file is corrupt and that I need to remove it. Trying this with a command didn't work also, it says WoW doesn't support custom color codes.

I ****in did it! Thanks to this post that says

"Making target names disappear is a little trickier, there's no interface option for this, the only way to do this is to make an addon that essentially sets the font to something that doesn't exist. One warning, when you log out or exit the game it will "crash" due to some sort of handling of the addon it does. Don't worry, this isn't destructive and you can ignore the error box and the request to describe the problem. The only way to get rid of this bug is to move the addon to the disabled addons folder (while WoW is closed of course), though that's not fixing it so much as not using it at all.

To make this addon make a folder in the ~\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\ called "notext" (no quotes of course). In this folder create two new files:
notext.toc
notext.lua

Open the table of contents (.toc) file in notepad. Write the following (or copy/paste).
## Interface: 30000
## Title: NoText
## Notes: For movie makers who want absolutely no text on their screen
## Author: <You Name>
notext.lua

In case you care, you're basically just telling WoW this addon is meant for patch 3.0.0 (we're technically on 3.0.9, but only the first two numbers are significant), when we get to patch 3.1 if you're still doing machinima you're going to want to go into the addon and change it to "30100", at 3.2 "30200" et cetera. Title is what it will show up as under the "load addons" menu (and in Khaos if you use it), Notes is just a comment on what it does, Author is self explanatory. the "notext.lua" part is probably the most important it tells the game what file(s) to look at when loading the addon, i.e. the ACTUAL addon itself.

Save this file, close it open notext.lua.

Write/copy+paste the following:
UNIT_NAME_FONT = "NO_FONT"
DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT = "NO_FONT"


Of course, NO_FONT doesn't exist, hence the error on exit, it technically will still display the names, the characters it uses just happen to add up to "" (an empty string, i.e. nothing). Go into WoW, load the addon and you won't get that pesky target name font. Remember though, if you want/need to see it you have to close WoW and move the addon, this is a very basic addon and it can't be unloaded, even using /console reloadui with Cosmos. "

Here's how it looks now



of course you have to change ## Interface: 30000 to ## Interface: 1120
