You seem to be using a very old version of caelNamePlates. Please delete the folder and update to the latest version. If problems still occur after that, please let us know.

Edit: Forget that. SVN is not same version as this. Will have a look.

Edit 2: Fixed the error, should be working now. Thanks for the report!

As other people have written I lost my nameplates a few days ago, for in my knowledge no apparent reason. Not installed anything new for quite a while.
Tried doing the /caelnameplates autotoggle and the first combat resulted in this error.

If it also happens with stock nameplates, we can rule out caelNamePlates as the culprit. Does it happen with all addons disabled? If not, try enabling half of your addons, and see whether the problem occurs. If not, try enabling the other half. Keep enabling/disabling half of them until you find the addon that's causing this.

If it happens without any addons enabled at all I suggest you contact Blizz through the tech support forums.
thanks for your fast reply. after investigating my interface folder again, i saw that i have two dofferent nameplate addons, which i had enabled at the same time.

Can you paste here exactly what you are typing? I believe I was a tad lazy when I coded it, so I doubt it will say anything if you just type /caelnameplates, it really needs to be /caelnameplates autotoggle.

If this is in fact what you are typing, please tell me what the following script returns:

/run print(type(SlashCmdList["caelNameplates"]), SLASH_caelNameplates1)
Also test if this does produce output:
/run SlashCmdList["caelNameplates"]("autotoggle")

The only possible reason I could imagine for the slash command not working, besides user error, is another addon interfering. I consider that situation very unlikely though, due to the specific slash command we've chosen.

The /command associated with this addon doesn't throw an error but doesn't show anything. I was hoping there'd be a way to individually toggle totems, but I can't find that option.

Beautiful nameplates, highly functional in PvP, thanks!

Hi,

Any chance in adding health % or nš on bars?!?
Or can it be edit via other menu then .lua?
