SirQuester A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 32 Uploads: 1	I was just going to ask about how to go about having the nameplates not fade out or being able to adjust the alpha but noticed a few responses down that it isn't capable because of blizzard's lacking code....uhm would it be a lrage amount of a code hit to add that in? very very subtle hint

nin A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 209 File comments: 79 Uploads: 1	this is by far the best nameplates addon ive tried so far. (i've tried lots :P) I have one question , is there anyway to adjust lenght of names, so they truncate depending on width of nameplates? because as it is now some texts go "outside" of nameplates... hope that makes sense thanks! have a good one. (i have tried playing with the code, but for me it only makes the text on a new line.)

That's because i've shortened the bars slightly, from 130 to 100 pix wide, yes names shortening is doable, i'll take a look.

I understand it, but maybe it is possible to provide universal font which support
all official WoW client languages?
I use impact.ttf font from SharedMediaAdditionalFonts wowace addon instead of neuropol.

Could we possibly get a bit more info? I'm not sure where that is supposed to go in the file... I'm actaully trying to make the healthbars a bit thicker (easier to click on as a tank - and easier to see health).

Edit: Actually, i think I found where to put it... But I am unsure of what value to use? What is the default value?

dragaan A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	I tried to change the height by using frame:setHeight(height), but either that's not how to do it or I did not put it on the right line. All I wanna know is how to make the healthbar part of the nameplate thicker. How exactly would I fix that? __________________ Dragaan <Incite> of Mannoroth-US Last edited by dragaan : 08-28-09 at 02:25 AM.
