Sorry but that's a feature that won't see the light of the day with this addon.
Besides, the dragon wouldn't match the plates.

baz1200 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	font change Hi, I have a simple question. How do I change the text of the nameplate? I have tried to edit the lua where it says : local font, fontSize, fontOutline = [=[Interface\Addons\caelNamePlates\media\neuropol x cd rg.ttf]=], 13, "OUTLINE" I changed the font name to something like myfont.ttf and placed it in caelNamepPlates\media with the same name, but when I load up my wow, all I get is an empty bar with no mob name displayed. Is there another place I must modifiy to change the font? Thank you.

You can't with this addon. it behaves exactly like the default Blizzard nameplates, color wise.

Was going to ask for the same thing. I assume nothing has changed regarding this in the past 6 months?

As a band aid, I've chosen to set the font color to white instead of that lightyellowbrown thingie.
Change newNameRegion:SetTextColor(0.84, 0.75, 0.65) to newNameRegion:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1).

Makes it a bit easier to see, albeit still far from what I'd like to have.

Bodasafa A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 240 Uploads: 6	I love the new slim version, great job on this addon. I have one question though, how do I remove the enabling and disabling of the enemy frames on combat? I like to have them on all the time regardless of if I am in combat or not. Thanks for the work you put in on this mod. -Boda

How and where I have to integrate the font for using it ingame? Copying in the WoW-Fonts Data isn`t the answer. Sorry for bad english. Last edited by Dieter : 02-14-10 at 03:54 AM.

Sorry for bad english.

Go into caelNameplates/Media and find ''neuropol x cd rg'', copy it somewhere on your desktop. Then copy it into World of Warcraft/Fonts and rename it to ''ARIALN'', then do the same again and name it to ''FRIZQT_'', repeat and name it ''MORPHEUS'', and one last time name it ''skurri''.

Looking at the changelog I'm guessing it's because:

Disabled auto toggling nameplates in combat

Likely you need to set the nameplates to show manually.

Not sure why auto-toggling was disabled, it's a great feature.
