if not I can zip my version of caelnameplates and put it on dropbox for general download. Unfortunately it's my custom version of cael so you may have to tweak bar height/width back to your liking.

thanks, it's work

It should be fixed now, try it again, at the very least the names should show up and the LUA error should be taken care of. Just to reiterate, this is the (hopefully working) code: LINE BEFORE NEW CODE: frame.nameplate = true Code: frame.barBar, frame.nameTextRegion = frame:GetChildren() local nameBar = frame.nameTextRegion nameBar:Hide() local glowRegion, overlayRegion, highlightRegion, levelTextRegion, bossIconRegion, raidIconRegion, stateIconRegion = frame.barBar:GetRegions() frame.oldname = frame.nameTextRegion:GetRegions() frame.healthBar, frame.castBar = frame.barBar:GetChildren() local castBar = frame.castBar local healthBar = frame.healthBar local something, castbarOverlay, shieldedRegion, spellIconRegion = castBar:GetRegions() LINE AFTER NEW CODE: local newNameRegion = frame:CreateFontString() Let me know if that works for you if not I can zip my version of caelnameplates and put it on dropbox for general download. Unfortunately it's my custom version of cael so you may have to tweak bar height/width back to your liking. Last edited by fostic_popcorn : 11-28-12 at 01:52 AM.

Still not worth using at this point. Also get the following LuA error occasionally: Message: Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:104: attempt to index field 'oldname' (a nil value) Stack: Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:104: in function <Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:62> Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:303: in function <Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:185> Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:326: in function <Interface\AddOns\caelNameplates\caelNamePlates.lua:313> Locals: self = NamePlate73 { 0 = <userdata> r = 0.69 healthBar = <unnamed> { } nameTextRegion = <unnamed> { } b = 0.31 oldglow = <unnamed> { } g = 0.31 done = true castBar = <unnamed> { } boss = <unnamed> { } name = <unnamed> { } elite = <unnamed> { } highlight = <unnamed> { } barBar = <unnamed> { } nameplate = true level = <unnamed> { } } r = 0.99999780301005 g = 0 b = 0 newr = 0.69 newg = 0.31 newb = 0.31 (temporary) = nil (temporary) = nil (temporary) = <unnamed> { 0 = <userdata> hpGlow = <unnamed> { } hpBackground = <unnamed> { } texture = <unnamed> { } } (temporary) = <userdata> (temporary) = 99.774358974359 (temporary) = 76 (temporary) = 76.671875 (temporary) = 76 (temporary) = -3.9384615384615 (temporary) = -3 (temporary) = -2.546875 (temporary) = -3 (*temporary) = "attempt to index field 'oldname' (a nil value)" pixelScale = <function> defined @Interface\AddOns\caelLib\caelLib.lua:74

5.1 fix

Fix for patch 5.1:

in caelNamePlates/caelNameplates.lua, Ctrl+F the following block:

Code:

	frame.healthBar, frame.castBar = frame:GetChildren()

	local healthBar, castBar = frame.healthBar, frame.castBar
	local glowRegion, overlayRegion, highlightRegion, nameTextRegion, levelTextRegion, bossIconRegion, raidIconRegion, stateIconRegion = frame:GetRegions()
	local _, castbarOverlay, shieldedRegion, spellIconRegion = castBar:GetRegions()

	frame.oldname = nameTextRegion
	nameTextRegion:Hide()

Replace with:

Code:

	frame.barBar, frame.nameTextRegion = frame:GetChildren()
	local nameBar = frame.nameTextRegion
	nameBar:Hide()

	local glowRegion, overlayRegion, highlightRegion, levelTextRegion, bossIconRegion, raidIconRegion, stateIconRegion = frame.barBar:GetRegions()

	frame.oldname = frame.nameTextRegion:GetRegions()

	frame.healthBar, frame.castBar = frame.barBar:GetChildren()
	local castBar = frame.castBar
	local healthBar = frame.healthBar

	local something, castbarOverlay, shieldedRegion, spellIconRegion = castBar:GetRegions()

Note: I'm not a real programmer so it's very likely some of my code isn't super optimized. But this should get your name plates back up and functional again.

If it doesn't, give me a PM, it's been forever and I've been fixing this addon as-needed through multiple patches so I can't remember what code is mine or not anymore >.>

Also credit to Zork for listing API changes and helping me figure this out... no way I would have fixed the addon without that post!

Abdiel123 A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Getting rid of healthbars for friendly units Is ther a way to do this? I'm not great with lua and I've been trying different things with all kinds of results. I would really like to just have the names of friendly units enhanced in the nameplate and let the healthbars be-gone with.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3797710090

From reading these comments posted here on WoWInterface, it would seem there are a lot of people who would like to be able to bring back the "old look" that the main page pictures show. I believe I am close to doing so but, I require the old border texture that you had used back in the day. If you could supply me (us) with that old border texture I would be grateful.

Other modifications I was also looking to do were:

1. Class Colored Health Bars For Raid/Party Members
2. Put An Outline Around The Level and Name Fonts
3. Darken Background Texture Behind Health Texture (Currently Way Too Bright)

Thanks.

I've had and kept my version up to date, modified it over time, to keep original look, if still interested~
