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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Are you planning on implementing an alpha check? I'd like to be able to modify alpha values for the nameplates. Thanks.

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

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.

hey really nice nameplates there, i've already used them for a month but i realised from some other ppl screenshots (yours included) that they actually see a solid black/grey background under the health when i.e. target's health is at 60%, i went through all the 25 pages of comments and tryed to find the code to make it, couldnt find anything about it tho, saw few ppl also asked 4 it,maybe i missed it or something, i also know blizz default nameplate has a trasparent background, but was wondering why other ppl with same addon see a background and i wasnt able to, help plz!^^ thanks anyway for the fantastic addon
