Originally posted by mtaher cast bar artifacts still seem to exist. hopefully u nail them down needs more testing, but i think i have a basic handle on at least some of the problems. it has to do with target switching while the target is casting (introduced as a side-effect of having to treat the target nameplate as a special c...

Release: Aloft-4.1.2-2013
Posted By: acapela
a new release of Aloft is available (pending moderator approval): Aloft-4.1.2-2013. this has just a couple of small bugfixes in it, to help with some graphical artifacts various of us have been seeing. i was not able to reproduce a problem reported with target cast bars, in which pieces of the cast bar were left behind when the...

Originally posted by FlareLT Just out of curiosity - is there any performance-tuning planned for this addon in future? yeah, this has been done in the past, and will be done again in the future. a big issue with these benchmarking addons is that they track things categorically by addon. Aloft is large/complex, but in contrast...

Originally posted by jtbalogh Was wondering if the raid icon stays visible and centered when the nameplate is hidden by the visibility or autoshow settings. Thanks. no, any graphic elements that are "attached" to the nameplate go away when the nameplate goes away (via to visibility/autoshow/keybindings/etc), including the raid...

Re: Re: Re: Critters
Posted By: acapela
edit: confirmed. critters and vanity pets have no "bar-style" nameplates (not even in the default Blizzard UI), and therefore no support in Aloft/etc. they have only "text-style" nameplates (which you can enable/disable via Blizzard standard "Names" interface options). looks like we are out of luck: there is just no way to spot cr...

Originally posted by Kerecha I can't seem to get critter nameplates to show, i have tried everything i can think of but it just won't show.. What the heck am i doing wrong? yeah, there is some ambiguity here that should probably be documented in a FAQ. Blizzard has disabled the raw/default "critter" nameplates. these are dis...

Posted By: acapela
a new release of Aloft is available, pending moderator approval: Aloft-4.1.1-2007. since there is no patch waiting for us this morning, this should be reasonably well tested (heh, if you want to believe that :)). this release contains a "configuration preview" feature, and fixes for various small issues recently reported. please r...

Originally posted by Masticor I just had an Idea, if you ever plan to implement a player energy bar atached to the target frame just recycle the Threatbar. Should be fairly simple that way just make it visual only on the current target and use the energy % to estimate how full the bar is. Color it yellow and hide it while there is...

Originally posted by FreeFog The Names Part is not really what I care about, I was thiking in ways of improving the visibility, the idea was to leave the names with out the nameplate frame (green letters) and have a better improvement of the Health and Alof Frame Bars. Why should all go verticaly, can't it have different settings?...

Originally posted by Masticor Ok I did a little bit of trying, now I can consistantly reproduce it. this helps narrow it down quite a bit. i should be able to reproduce, and i should be able to figure out what to do about it (if anything; if combat is locking something out, there may not be anything that can be done). thanks...

Originally posted by BuGi- Although, with short testing it seems that disabling bloattest fixed it \o/ yeah, now we are dealing with WoW 4.0.3, hopefully "bloattest" will no longer be required. if you have problems like this, experiment with/without "bloattest", and see which works best for you. in the meantime, i am testing wi...

edit: i am also not seeing any artifacts with "bloattest" disabled. this will need more testing, however. i am working on the "preview" capabilities (which i have merged in with all the "cataclysm fixes" in my local development copy). i will watch for these problems in the course of testing all the rest of the stuff i need to test....

Originally posted by BuGi- I'm having the exact same problem. Level text position doesn't seem to work for "new" nameplates. When you alter it, it only affects one already visible nameplate and on everything else it is on the default location, Y-wise at least. i am definitely seeing a problem in which adjusting level text does...

Re: Vertical Nameplates

Originally posted by FreeFog is there a way to change the nameplates to a vertical configuration? not at this time. it is on the TODO list. the gotcha is getting text to orient accordingly. there may be ways to induce this to happen (through contorting the shape/size of text regions, and bundling some rotated fonts with Alof...
