Only thing that bugs me is the alpha change after awhile. You target and then engage, few seconds the nameplate gets more transparent.

Same thing, happens with standard nameplates too.

Anyone got an idea?

okay, but where i must change name of font in code(lua file?) ?

I have two solutions:
1) Replace all fonts in \\caelMedia\\fonts to some cyrillic (i use calibri). You need to replace all fonts but save their names.
2) Copy any cyrillc font into \\caelMedia\\fonts (for example file named "cyrfont.ttf"). Then open caelFonts.lua and replace path to all files to following:
Interface\Addons\caelMedia\fonts\cyrfont.ttf (like this)

Latest MSBT you can find in curse.com (4.1 fan update) or you can check our forum where we posted how to make MSBT work in 4.1

What I mean is for example, that if the mob is called "Executer of Zandalari" it would be "E. o. Zandalari" on the nameplate.
I would like to have "Executor o. Z."

I know that it's related to this part:
local newName = (string.len(oldName) > 20) and string.gsub(oldName, "%s?(.[\128-\191]*)%S+%s", "%1. ") or oldName -- "%s?(.)%S+%s"

But I have no idea how to change it

Just replace your string by following:
local newName = (string.len(oldName) > 200) and string.gsub(oldName, "%s?(.[\128-\191]*)%S+%s", "%1. ") or oldName -- "%s?(.)%S+%s"
But this will show you full name.

All names of objects with HP bars instead contain the proper name / title - the question marks.
How to deal with this problem?

you should make some changes in caelNameplates.lua, find necessary row and replace:

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(oldName)

I'll send you a private message (check your inbox) in a few minutes about that addon. I do not want to add additional comments on this addon's page about another addon out of respect.

I'm not using that texture and the font from your screenshot, but I might have them somewhere backed up, so once the transparency issue gets fixed, I could send you that version.

If you do not take much - please come to me your version.
'll be inordinately grateful

Hi, Virus. That looks like caelNameplates, but it looks like the older version (the r12 version that most users love, adore, and miss fondly). The addon hasn't looked like that in a long time and from what I can understand from reading the comments on here, the author doesn't plan on releasing a version to look like that. I'm hoping that someone with some .lua and coding knowledge will provide a "fix" and maybe we can have the older, better version back. Meanwhile, you will need to try the fixes listed below (see the other comments) as the author himself has not updated the addon for 4.1.

Regarding MSBT, so far I've heard that it's still not working. You might want to try another addon in the meantime. I personally use xCT and I think it's great.

mmm
thank`s for answer.
yes it is an old version of add-on, even for wow 3.3.2, but it works fine on 4.0.6 version, and a 4.1 "fell off".
about changes lua file - read it, but half did not understand = (
that is, it was written - "change the line to N (the specified code) but in line N does not even like the code ...
Anyway, can someone who knows will make or rather remake the old version 4.1 patch ... I hope so.
And until I ran into this problem ... because I'm from Ukraine, but using Russian client games, download a newer version of caelNameplates and see just such a problem:

Hi 2 all.
Faced with this problem. I had an addon with similar bars.

http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5...0211224013.jpg

But after upgrading to patch 4.1 bars have disappeared and the addon does not work at all.
Can I somewhere find the addon with the same "stripes"?
ps Sorry for my English, I write with the help of an online translator, because I myself am from Ukraine, and do not know English well enough to communicate freely, and on the topic of online games.
pps And 1 more question, is not relevant to this addon, maybe someone knows where to get MSBT, working on patch 4.1?
