No. Once should be sufficient.

First post here! But it's something which really frustated me.
if the r12 remake isn't released could anybody at least tell my why i can't lower the healthbar hight propperly? i tried to simply put in a 5 instead of a 8 but this did not work, obviously i'm a total idiot when it comes to lua^^

(Making the mobname + lvl slightly bigger would perfectly fit my needs)

Thanks in advance

On the main page of the addon info on the right side there is a button labeled feature request. =) the author will get a e-mail as well you can track the status of the request.

How about we make a feature request for the author. No sense in continuing the quarrel. One person may find that a certain option or feature would be the greatest addition of all, while others may feel it is worthless.

There is no right and wrong in this situation. All you are doing is creating more work for the addon author, he now has to shift through the various comments and prune the ones that are not relevant to addon development.

@Poreo
It is the same exact information.

Your hypothetical situations reversed:
  • "Hmmm, now where is that icon, gotta find 'em"
  • "BAM, there's the priest's white bar, there's their healer"

When there's 13 plus people in a room ( not uncluding pets and summons) with multiples AoE's, spells flying everywhere and the time running down, don't think it would be easy for me to go, "Hmmm, now where is that color, gotta find 'em" instead of going, "BAM, there's the priest logo, there's their healer"

OK, to get the r12 bar textures back open up the caelNameplates.lua file in the caelNameplates folder.

Change line 12 to read this;

Code:
local barTexture = caelMedia.files.statusBarB
