Thank you kindly. Had also to remove self.name:SetText(newName). ^_^

Guessing it's an issue with frame levels, but will need to test this when I come back from vacation. Added to the todo list anyway. @feraldrood: /caelnameplates autotoggle @Kelem: And your problem is what exactly? It makes things easy for us, and was designed to take away the need for all seperate caelUI addons to each hold the same media file. This will not change, and honestly, there is hardly any difference from embedding the media files in caelNameplates from a user point of view. @Lomk: Change Code: local oldName = self.oldname:GetText() local newName = (string.len(oldName) > 20) and string.gsub(oldName, "%s?(.[\128-\191]*)%S+%s", "%1. ") or oldName -- "%s?(.)%S+%s" to: Code: local nameString = self.oldname:GetText() if string.len(nameString) < 22 then self.name:SetText(nameString) else self.name:SetFormattedText(nameString:sub(0, 19).." ...") end

Uhm... actually i want them to be able to overlap, the issue is that the healthbars "melt" together and the backdrop that deline the end of the healthbar itself seems to disappear when two or more bars overlap each other.

Elthar A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Frame strata. Greetings, first of all a "Thank you" is in order. Then here it goes the, obvious, request Sorry 'about it. I've noticed that with the latest version there is some issue with the levels of the nameplates. I'll explain further: 1) Scenario 1: Something is targeted. - Any nameplate under the targeted is perfectly visible and the background (Backdrop?) of the selected nameplates is working as intended marking the border of the healthbar of the selected mob. - Any nameplate that is not selected and is not under the selected one is perfectly defined even in overlapping situation. - The Healthbar and it's Name are on top, everything else is behind. 2) Scenario 2: No target: - A single nameplate is working perfectly, no issue. - When two or more nameplates overlap the backdrop disappear in the common part of the healthbar, merging the two of them. No lines can be seen and it looks like a single long bar. - Unitnames that should be behind the nearest nameplates are on a higher frame level than the healthbar. Resulting in some weird stuff. I hope i've been clear enough. It's my understanding that something is wrong/can be fixed with the strata level of the different nameplate's components. I'd appreciate if someone could give me a clue where to look exactly i'm kinda out of ideas at this point. Most likely while i might be able to edit a single bar i got no clue about the interaction with one another. Thanks in advance. Last edited by Elthar : 07-01-10 at 07:47 AM.

Lomk A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 14 Uploads: 0	Name Abbreviations Hi again. Read the last 5 pages and didn't found anything to help me. What should i do to make the old way to shorten names? Like it was putting "..." after X symbols. Found the code. But don't know how to change it to my need. =( Code: local oldName = self.oldname:GetText() local newName = (string.len(oldName) > 20) and string.gsub(oldName, "%s?(.[\128-\191]*)%S+%s", "%1. ") or oldName -- "%s?(.)%S+%s" self.name:SetText(newName) P.S.: Don't really like the new way. It kinda spoils the game for me. And adds too many funny abbreviations to it...

That is a Blizzard setting in your Interface Options.

Slash command

Hello, I love your addon but with the newest version when I use the slash command to enable the auto-toggle, whenever I enter or leave combat I'm getting this error:

Code:

Message: Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:8: attempt to call field '?' (a nil value)

Line 245:

Code:

spellIconRegion:SetPoint("LEFT", castBar, caelLib.scale(8), 0)

Change to:

Code:

spellIconRegion:SetPoint(""LEFT", castBar, "RIGHT", caelLib.scale(8), 0)

Code:

newNameRegion:SetPoint("BOTTOM", healthBar, "TOP", 0, 2)

Change the second number.
