I was curious to see if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am pretty good with LUA coding, but what do I need to do to add the currenthp and/or percenthp to the nameplate (similar to docNameplate). I can customize the style whenever I want, but I am not sure exactly what to do in the code itself and where to add what in which function. Someone please point me in the right direction.

We don't do anything with the health values, so you'll have to add code to support that. You'll want to add a fontstring in the CreatePlate function, hook the OnValueChanged script for the healthbar and make that function update the fontstring.

The first few days of 4.0, when nameplates weren't working, made PvPing pretty annoying. As others have stated, there are some bugs at the moment. For me the size of the plates have returned to normal (without changing anything), however, sometimes the plates don't stack anymore (if there are a lot of players in an area, they will be 10-20 yards to the left or right of the player, as if pushing each other). Also, sometimes they become huge for a few seconds, then go back to normal. I'm hoping these things will be ironed out soon, or a possible solution for a self-fix posted. The real reason I'm posting is that I'd like to request a feature. Would it be possible to increase the range at which nameplates spawn/show? Possibly double the distance? If that's somehow possible, I'd really appreciate you adding that. Thanks, M Last edited by Mozart : 10-21-10 at 01:36 PM.

Open caelNameplates.lua and modify line 184;

Code:

	newNameRegion:SetPoint("BOTTOM", healthBar, "TOP", 0, 1)

ravenua A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Guys, nameplates that doesn't stack is blizzard issue - the "overlapping nameplates" option is missing from interface option menu. So if you want nameplates to stack again (and not "swim" all around when you have lots of enemies near you), just type in game this string: /console spreadnameplates 0 p.s. thanks StormCalai for telling how to make name centered - now everything is pretty much perfect and i'm happy to use this nameplates again

Hey Rav, ya I figured it had something to do with the options, but couldn't find it. Do I need to type that every time I log on a toon? Also, do you know if Blizz plans put the option back in?

And since I have you here, is there a console command for the spawn range? (I want to see them from further away, twice the distance would be fine.)

Thanks!

You'll need to use that command once for every character you login to. It will remember it for you.

Blizzard doesn't give us any control over the spawn range of nameplates. They temporarily gave an option to change it during the beta testing of Burning Crusade, but they took it out for release.

Looks like I'm going to Tidyplates until the author fixes it, if he does? I hope so, because this addon is the bomb! __________________

The problem being that i'm not getting any of these bugs.

Do I need to reverse that cvar? This is what I'm getting. If only it would stay like the thin bars I would be happy. __________________

ravenua A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	i have this issue too if i try to edit the height of the nameplates - they just don't want to stay that way (it can reset when you turn away or not work at all on some mobs). (I executed the script thingie from the previous page too)
