as far as i can tell, threat bars are working "correctly" (the target receives a border if it appears after combat starts), mana bars are working "inc...

Most notably, when I engage a mob from a distance that is outside the nameplate visibility range the border doesn't show up. If I get close enough to have the nameplate appear befor...

Thortok is correct, 3.41Mb is not a lot of memory these days, compared to any number of other addons, and Aloft has a lot of little fiddly features, which translates into a fair bit of LUA. Aloft typically runs about 15th on my list f...

well, Aloft "r416" would be pretty old (from back in November, 2009). the current release is "r864". from your errors, it looks like your version of Aloft is not aware of the changes made to Blizzard's nameplate show/hide mechanis...

i will play with an earlier version, and remind myself how it used to work.
i think i will also add an override color for "threat status 0" (aka "thr...
