I'm pretty sure someone else already gave instructions on how to enables this.

Open World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua and scroll to the very bottom. Look for the these two strings: --[[ and --]]. Delete those two lines and save the file.

Love the mod btw.

Yes, it's can be done.
Find ThreatUpdate function in caelNamePlates.lua and replace it by this code:

Code:

local ThreatUpdate = function(self, elapsed)
	self.elapsed = self.elapsed + elapsed
	if self.elapsed >= 0.2 then
		if self.oldglow:IsShown() then
			local _, green = self.oldglow:GetVertexColor()
			if(green > .7) then
				self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(1, 1, 0) -- medium threat (yellow)
			else
				self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(0, 1, 0) -- tanking (red)
			end
		else
			self.healthBar:SetStatusBarColor(self.r, self.g, self.b)
		end

		self.elapsed = 0
	end
end

Hope it halps you

Teckdragon A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Nameplates not showing threat or cast bars I recently started using this mod as part of the LUI V3 compilation. The one thing I noticed however, is that the bars aren't showing casting, or highlighting threat. Can anyone point me to where in the code I should check to make sure these features are enabled? Could it possibly be a conflict with the Quartz addon, or Omen? Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

chazzlabs A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I'm having a bit of trouble changing the bar texture. My syntax and file path are correct, but for some reason the texture isn't changing. The default texture, normtexa, is apparently located in caelNamePlates\media, but the file itself isn't there. I'm wondering if that might have anything to do with the problems I'm having. My code looks like this: Code: local barTexture = [=[Interface\Addons\SharedMedia_MyMedia\statusbar\HalW]=] local overlayTexture = [=[Interface\Tooltips\Nameplate-Border]=] local glowTexture = [=[Interface\Addons\caelNamePlates\media\glowtex]=] local font, fontSize, fontOutline = [=[Interface\Addons\caelNamePlates\media\expresswayrg.ttf]=], 12, "OUTLINE" Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Politig A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 159 File comments: 415 Uploads: 1	Hello, ^^ Where in the coding does caelNameplates allow you to change spell icon location/border? When I try and enable it, it makes an ugly little icon at the bottom left of the cast bar, with a hideous border. I see why you disabled it x_x Thanks!

Alfrunnah A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 59 Uploads: 0	I know its possible to make it so that instead of having the border turn red on the plates when I have aggro, having the entire health bar change from red to green. For the life of me though, I can't seem to make it work. Anyone have a way to do it? :P

strickland A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 143 Uploads: 0	how can I make it so the castbar shows even if I don't target the enemey who's actually casting. My nameplate only shows castbar IF I target the person. if I remove him from my target, the castbar disappears. and showing this, is really helpful in pvp, specially arena. is there anyway to do this? Thanks in advance.

I'm asking because I love the look of your UI along with the nameplates and have been trying to mimic it, but can't seem to get the texture on the panels right or the shadowy borders...

any insight on how this was done would br great, thx

Love the nameplates!

-- Update: Figured it out.

I would like to know this also.
