greetings, hank

You could always show the default one, but it's not gonna look very good.

By removing lines 123-124.

Qupe A Warpwood Thunder Caller Forum posts: 92 File comments: 517 Uploads: 9	I wasn't asking (or anywhere close to expecting) you to be releasing versions and fixing/adding every single detail requested by myself or others. I was just asking (font junk aside) whether or not the border sizing could possibly changed and what direction I need to head in to change it - not for you personally to go and do it for me. I am fully aware you wrote it for your needs and it isn't your responsibility to be changing your addon for every single minuscule change anyone downloading it wants (I realize your statement wasn't solely directed at me - just a general frustration).

I'd like the glow texture and border to be flush with the health bar but 2 px in size, not 5. Any idea what I'd have to change to achieve this?

Also, I'm having the same issue as a poster below me when trying to change the bar font; I keep getting errors when I try to change the font.

Basically, buy a brand new Mercedes, bring it back home, start changing some parts of it, the engine for example. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, bummer, let's bring it back to your Mercedes dealer and ask him to fix it ? Nah i don't think he will...

Let's put it simple, the release version works, you change things, font, border, whatever, and as a result it doesn't work anymore. This is sad, but there's nothing i can (will) do about it. My job is limited to the release version, i can't (won't) start working on fixes for every single user who wants his own custom version.

Nothing personal Qupe, i just had to answer this a moment or another.

Example...

Code:

SetFont(NAMEPLATE_FONT, 9, "THICKOUTLINE")

Change "0" to "1" and it will show all plates, whenever you are in combat or not (depending how you have your interface options at). Otherwise, just press "V" to turn on/off nameplates

Correct, altough you can just completely remove lines 197 to 205 instead.

Loving these nameplates. I wonder if anyone or the author could help me with this -- I'm using these as a tank and would love to modify them to make it more obvious when I lose threat on a single mob in a big pack. For example, aggro color could be the bright red it is now, but if I don't have aggro turn them blue to make it more obvious instead of the slightly lighter orange color. Is this something simple I can change in the section of code here to pull that off?

Code:

local ThreatUpdate = function(self, elapsed)
	self.elapsed = self.elapsed + elapsed
	if self.elapsed >= 0.2 then
		if not self.oldglow:IsShown() then
			self.hpGlow:SetBackdropBorderColor(0,0,0)
		else
			self.hpGlow:SetBackdropBorderColor(self.oldglow:GetVertexColor())
		end

		self.healthbar:SetStatusBarColor(self.r, self.g, self.b)

		self.elapsed = 0
	end
end

local UpdateFrame = function(self)
	local r,g,b = self.healthbar:GetStatusBarColor()
	local newr, newg, newb
	if g+b == 0 then
		newr, newg, newb = 0.69, 0.31, 0.31
		self.healthbar:SetStatusBarColor(0.69, 0.31, 0.31)
	elseif r+b == 0 then
		newr, newg, newb = 0.33, 0.59, 0.33
		self.healthbar:SetStatusBarColor(0.33, 0.59, 0.33)
	elseif r+g == 0 then
		newr, newg, newb = 0.31, 0.45, 0.63
		self.healthbar:SetStatusBarColor(0.31, 0.45, 0.63)
	elseif 2-(r+g) < 0.05 then
		newr, newg, newb = 0.65, 0.63, 0.35
		self.healthbar:SetStatusBarColor(0.65, 0.63, 0.35)
	else
		newr, newg, newb = r, g, b
	end

	self.r, self.g, self.b = newr, newg, newb

	self.healthbar:SetHeight(5)

	self.castbar:SetHeight(5)
	self.castbar:ClearAllPoints()
	self.castbar:SetPoint("TOP", self.healthbar, "BOTTOM", 0, -4)

	self.highlight:ClearAllPoints()
	self.highlight:SetAllPoints(self.healthbar)

	self.name:SetText(self.oldname:GetText())

	local level, elite, mylevel = tonumber(self.level:GetText()), self.elite:IsShown(), UnitLevel("player")
	self.level:ClearAllPoints()
	self.level:SetPoint("RIGHT", self.healthbar, "LEFT", -2, 1)
	if self.boss:IsShown() then
		self.level:SetText("B")
		self.level:SetTextColor(1, 0, 0)
		self.level:Show()
	elseif not elite and level == mylevel then
		self.level:Hide()
	else
		self.level:SetText(level..(elite and "+" or ""))
	end
end

DThielke A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Positioning Issue Hi, I really like the look of your nameplates, but I'm having a positioning issue. They're sitting lower than normal (almost dead center on the unit rather than above their head) and off-center to the left about 20 pixels. I tried my hand at repositioning them on my own but I couldn't get any results. Any idea what might cause this and how to fix it? Thanks
