keLston A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 172 Uploads: 0	Is there a way to scale the nameplates or make the bars slightly thicker? They really look amazing but I found them a little more difficult to use when there are a lot of mobs. Also seem to occasionally get the big cast bar problem. I played 8 Arena games noticed it in only 2. Not sure what did it. Last edited by keLston : 08-09-09 at 12:51 AM.

You have to edit the caelNamePlates.lua, but it's really easy. just look for

Code:

self.healthbar:SetHeight(5)

on line 67 Replace the 5 with whatever you want. I find 10 works well for me.

to each their own, some probably like it.

Its very easy to change it. open the lua file and just change the location of the font. You can drag your own into the media folder and just change the file name.

very easy, and its the first thing I did, lol.

In the caelNamePlates directory, there is a folder named "media". In it, you will find the file "neuropol x cd rg.ttf". You can place the font you want in that directory and rename it to "neuropol x cd rg.ttf" or you can go into the LUA, I presume, and edit every reference to "neuropol x cd rg.ttf" and replace it with the name of the font you placed into the media folder.

I still have a issue with your mods since the patch with the fonts, even if i just replace the file with the name itself, i still getting this error:

[2009/08/10 01:20:54-97-x1]: caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:78: <unnamed>:SetText(): Font not set
caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:78: in function <Interface\AddOns\caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:44>
caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:234: in function <Interface\AddOns\caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:140>
caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:256: in function <Interface\AddOns\caelNamePlates\caelNamePlates.lua:244>

---

and im using this code:

local barTexture = [=[Interface\TargetingFrame\statusbar2]=]
local overlayTexture = [=[Interface\Tooltips\Nameplate-Border]=]
local glowTexture = [=[Interface\Addons\caelNamePlates\media\glowTex]=]
local font, fontSize, fontOutline = [=[Interface\Addons\caelNamePlates\media\neuropol x cd rg.ttf]=], 9, "OUTLINE"

It's ONLY the font that messes up like this, not the texture...

EDIT: getting the exact same error on oUF_Caellian and ive been able to change font ever since you released your first mod...

Enough already.

As a matter of fact, this is not with my "mod" you're having an issue, it's with your custom modifications, if you could stop reporting something the addon is not responsible for, that would help keep this place clean. Thanks.

Removing/commenting lines 209-210 will reenable the default icon, but it's not skinned/positionned, and won't be.
