This would greatly aid target prioritisati...

yeah, the next "generation" of Aloft will be splitti...

Release: 2.4.6-315
Posted By: acapela
a new release is uploaded (pending approval), Aloft 2.4.6-315.
this should have fixes to all of the bugs recently reported (plus a few i weeded out myself).
in particular, review the recent problems with "Visibility" options and interaction with Death Knights and make sure these issues are no longer a problem for you.
as soo...

Posted By: acapela
in thinking about this, as its own "feature", i am visualizing some sort of dedicated "Player HUD" module that lets the user place health/mana bars on the target nameplate (or separate modules, one for health and one for mana), neither/either/both, and adjust size/position/color/texture, etc. there would also need to be some text tag...

Posted By: acapela
woops... having Aloft normalize out of the WoW API won't work. WoW provides localized class names, not "enUS" class names, which Aloft then reverse-translates for data storage using LBC. heh, i am still learning :).
looks like this will have to be an LBC fix, if those localized forms have variations (or Aloft will have to take thi...

thanks again for the bug report.

a new release is available, Aloft 2.4.4-288.
this includes Death Knight support, as a class and Runic Power as a power type, fixes to "" (using ceil()), and beefed-up PvP target identification (based on nameplate color, including when player and pet are named identically).
note that at this point, at least in conjunction with A...

yeah... Aloft actually takes over the underlying Blizzard bar-style nameplates. it...

WotLK
Posted By: acapela
just a heads-up:
i have copies of the WotLK on preorder (2 accounts), and should have them physically in my possession (hopefully) on 2008/11/14, or 2008/11/15 (at the latest).
if there are any big suprises, such as Aloft breaking completely under WotLK, there will be a delay of a day or so before i can start banging on bugs, a...

first of all, these time only the player's own effects. the player's character must be a mage (for polymorph) or a priest (for shackle) for this functionality to be available. Aloft senses th...

looks like Blizzard is working hard to deliver a multi-day outage... alas, i can't even test, much less finish up and release. i had hoped to get something out before WotLK landed, but it is looking unlikely at this point.

On Class Colors in Nameplates
Posted By: acapela
so, my experiments on class identification are coming to a close, and it looks like Maldazzar is fundamentally correct. if the "Class Colors in Nameplates" option is set, Aloft can detect that.
when enabled, if a hostile player+pet is encountered, one of two scenarios ensues (regardless of what the players name is, and regardless...

this has opened up a can of worms. good thing you encountered it and raised the issue.
