Posted By: acapela
I like the new feature that Blizz added, where you can tell if a mob is tagged based on the color of their nameplate (tagged mobs have a purple-grey-ish colored nameplate instead of yellow/red). Is there a way to make Aloft use Blizzard default colors for the health bar?
things seem stable at the moment, so i will go ahead and tak...

Posted By: acapela
Blizzard's "Combat>Class Colors in Nameplates" menu option disappeared some time ago (part of a patch late in the WoW 4.X era), and became their default behavior.
It's now found under Interface>Names
ahh, so it is. thanks!
i re-implemented the functionality to force it on at startup and warn when the user disables it. next...

Posted By: acapela
update: looks like this was resolved by a WoW console command:
/console ShowClassColorInNameplate 1
i did not realize this old console variable was still active. Aloft catches errors when it tries to initialize it via LUA. can anyone confirm, either way, whether this is correct? thanks.
As of a few updates ago (MoP release to...

Posted By: acapela
I'm having an issue where highlighting isn't working. Possibly I messed something up trying a different nameplate mod before returning to Aloft since it's still my favorite.
highlighting on mouseover seems to be dead now, something Blizzard did. the graphical element that Blizzard used for this is still present on nameplates, but...

Re: Profile changes don't persist through reloadui
Posted By: acapela
One quirk I've noticed is that all the changes I've made to my profile do not persist if I /reloadui. All of the non-default modules unload and the default mods return to default settings.
i have not been able to reproduce this. i was able to disable modules and adjust options, which persisted between UI reloads.
so, my best...

Posted By: acapela
Update - The LUA error and the suffix/prefix swapping seems to happen when 'Unknown' characters are around (which as usual tends to happen after I do an AH getall scan.)
Unknown characters still return titles for some reason. Take that into consideration.
Also, cross-realm players 'lose' their titles when they go off screen, I...

a new version of Aloft is available, pending moderator approval: Aloft-5.1.0-2450.
WoW 5.1 made some fairly invasive changes to the structure/organization of nameplates as UI objects, bu...

As a fellow addon author, let me know what I can do to help.
thanks. at the moment, i think i have it pretty much there (though without much testing). i think i will go ahead and release even without much testing, since at the moment the alternatve is basically a non-existent addon.
of course, my realm just crashed and kicked e...

Posted By: acapela
Since you're doing a major overhaul of everything anyway, perhaps now is the time to allow titles to work on people from other realms?
yeah, i think i understand how this works well enough to make this change as well. i will at least attempt it. if everything else is working, though, i probably won't hold up a release just for this.

not sure if you've seen these already or if they are even of any help, but thought i would throw them out there
ahh yes, very helpful. explains where the cast bar and health bar went :). children of children of children. hard to understand why Blizzard did this (apparently they wanted to re-org unit name text into its own frame).....

Posted By: acapela
Thanks for checking. You may also notice the size of the nameplate might change depending on the size of the mob so that may affect your calculations too. The blizzard nameplate changes size for small and regular size mobs in the Valley of the Four Winds for example.
yeah, the sprites at the granary provided an example of this. i...

Aloft is nuked, at least for a bit
Posted By: acapela
alright, preliminary results suggest that Blizzard has indeed scrambled the bejeezus out of the nameplate widget heirarchy. they have done this before, but it is pretty bad this time (about like it was for Burning Crusade).
i can't find the cast bar, for instance. perhaps it is created on-demand now? it certainly appears when need...

Re: 5.1 update
Posted By: acapela
Help, Blizzard broke all the nameplate addons. Please update for 5.1. Insert sad face here.
alright, i will start digging into it (have to update WoW myself first, of course).
i will reply here once i understand something about what is going on.

Re: Spirit Link Totem
Posted By: acapela
Could you add Spirit Link Totem to 'show hostile totems/trap snakes/bloodworms' exceptions tab (under AloftVisibility module)
yeah, i will go incorporate that. it does indeed appear to be missing. i will double check for others, as well.
if you want to patch it yourself, pending my release, you should be able to add the followi...

I know how to make nameplates to overlap (Game->Names->Unit nameplates->Overlapping Nameplates), but I dont know how to do that AND use aloft "AloftAutoShow". I want to use this module so my nameplates automatically turn off when I'm resting (when in city- no need for nameplates there). But when I set this zone condition and then lea...

Posted By: acapela
Thing is, there is 3rd option in game called "overlapping" (which I, for example, like to use).
"overlapping" is the "default".
that is to say: your choice of stack/spread is applied conditionally, when the nameplate motion location/group-type conditions are met. when these conditions are not met, "overlapping" is applied. so,...

Re: Aloft stuff.
Posted By: acapela
welcome back :).
inadvertantly, you are touching on some very fundamental things about nameplates. for the most part, "no can do". i supply explanation in a PM. i think most/all of the information is in the Aloft FAQ, but not collected all in one place.

a new release of Aloft is available, pending moderator approval: Aloft-5.0.3-2442.

i believe you.
since this "Class Colors in Nameplates" option is no longer relevant, let me start by pulling it out, make sure that is not somehow affecting execution (presumably, Aloft is currently operating on a nonexistent "console variable"). i will also add y...

I'm running out of ideas of what could be causing it. Heading to a party now, will do more testing when I get back.
i think i see where you are going with all of this. have not experienced any problems with Aloft failing to properly identify a player, but it is always possible some sort of cleanup of IsPlayer is not happening cor...

Re: Gray nameplates / Tapped mobs

When testing, I could not find the properties for tapped or dead; aloftData.isTapped, aloftData.isTappedPlayer, aloftData.isDead, aloftData.isCorpse? I could not find aloft tags to build an advanced color string? Eventually I was trying to change aloft to help check if tapped with the conditions below. E.g.
