Re: Issues clicking nameplates after setting Y offset.

Originally posted by trendyideology
I wanted to float my bars way higher, by setting Y offset, but the clickable area for nameplates remains where they are normally by default no matter where the visual nameplate is located.
The smallness of nameplates is great, but I was looking forward to being able to get them even more out o...

whew, no. Aloft-4.1.3-2021 is stable for me.
in fact, that sort of instability comes as a complete suprise. i would suspect an "external" cause. you could try a fresh install of Aloft (delete the whole addon, re-insta...

edit: i see my mistake... SLDT and SLDataText are currently physically distinct addons. i still want to use SLDataText (for the "profile" ability; lack of profiles is pretty much a deal-killer for me), and leave SLDT disabled.
hmm, updated just now, and the whole configuration menu (including profiles) seems to be "gone".

Aloft Roadmap
Posted By: acapela
courtesy of Torhal, i now have control of Aloft's resources at WoWAce/Curse. my next task is to get Aloft to the point of release there (something many of you have asked for over the months/years). once that is done, i will be able to maintain the same version at both WoWI and Curse.
the WoWAce "process" is more complex that WoWI'...

a new release is available, pending moderator approval: AloftCastWarning-4.0.1-2048.
this has a small fix to permit AloftCastWarning to integrate its configuration menu into the configuration menu for the Aloft Alpha. it should also continue to work with older "production" versions of Aloft.

Question for users
Posted By: acapela
looking at AloftCastWarning, and how to merge its configuration menu into the "load-on-demand" style of presentation currently being tested in the Aloft Alpha, i would probably want to roll AloftCastWarning into Aloft as a module.
at that point, AloftCastWarning would no longer be a standalone addon, it would be a module of Aloft...

please read the front page carefully.
this incorporates the whole AloftCastWarning addon as a module. After installing this version, AloftCastWarning users should enable the AloftCastWarning modules in Aloft (there are 4 of them; your Alo...

Release: Aloft04.2.0-2046
Posted By: acapela
an new "alpha" version of Aloft is available here, pending moderator approval: Aloft-4.2.0-2046.
Aloft-4.2.0-2046 is functionally identical to Aloft-4.1.3-2021 (the most recent "production" release of Aloft as of 2010-12-30).
Aloft-4.2.0-2046 is an ALPHA version (i.e. potentially prone to being buggy) of Aloft. two addons are i...

these are AtlasLoot errors, tracing through Ace3 libraries originally loaded by Aloft. no Aloft code is involved in these errors, only Ace3/AtlasLoot code.

looks like they trace through Aloft's load of Ace3... but you are right: definitely AtlasLoot errors.

Next Steps for Aloft
Posted By: acapela
cogitating on this recently, a couple of things come to mind, just so you know where this is headed:
1) coming up with a way to release via Curse (probably the most requested single "feature" after the "preview" system).
2) breaking the whole option system out into a separate "load on demand" addon (that would package Aloft as...

Thanks for looking into it, Acapela. I had no idea it was such a complicated issue! So if Im understanding correctly, if I add my own 100x12 texture to SharedMedia (easy enough with SharedMedia_MyMedia), then, given the option to enable horizontal tiling in Aloft, would the texture clip as expected...

Re: Cropping vs. scaling bar textures
Posted By: acapela
update: the new API methods that Blizzard supplied (as replacements to the API method they dropped) to control texture tiling/clipping were originally buggy (back in WoW 3.3.3), and it appears that they may still be so.
the only way i can currently produce the behavior you want is as follows:
