Actually I had some time so I went in and fixed all the problems with the NPC Rep Module. ... I have homework and raid but I can look at the 'IsPlayer' tag next and see what's going on there, if you don't get to it first. i am also short of time. feel free to look at all of it (and thanks for doing so). i will try to get to this...

I'm trying to give my nameplates a background color but it doesn't work. (Aloft 5.0.2-2431) Deleted SavedVariables/Aloft.lua. Disabled all AddOns except "Aloft (Ace3)" and "AloftOptions (Ace3)". Aloft Options -> Frame -> Height: 30 | Border: Blizzard Tooltip | Background Alpha: 1 I can see the border, but inside I see only text...

Re: Freeze-lag
Posted By: acapela
I've been experiencing an issue heavily recently with something I call "freeze lag" where everything stops for an interval (short, .5-1 second, or long, 5-6 seconds, nothing in between)... these sorts of problems are incredibly nasty. they seem to happen to a very narrow subset of the user community (often just one person), are...

Please update for Pandaria Acapela!...
Posted By: acapela
Please update for Pandaria Acapela!! for the moment, there is a fan update here, which seems to work (though i have had almost no time to play since the 5.0.4 patch). i have sent a PM to that author, to try to understand whether they want to take ownership of the addon, etc. i also need to try to reach Cyprias, and see if he in...

Hey I've been using Aloft since WotLK, just made an account here to say thanks for maintaining it for so long :D well, i am glad you like it. as for maintenance... things seem to be pretty stable at the moment. i have not needed to put much time in on it (though there are still potential new features and some architectural chan...

weirdness
Posted By: acapela
i am not able to see much practical effect from nameplate "motion" options at the moment (US live), even when i disable Aloft and use Blizzard native options to control this. i can get some stack or spread to work very occasionally, but most of the time panning around just creates indiscriminate overlap. can anyone confirm?

Posted By: acapela
got the weird little problem with the cast bar/cast warning bar sorted out. so, a new release of Aloft is available (pending moderator approval); Aloft-5.0.2-2431. this is current with WoW 5.0.4, currently on North American "live" realms. i will start work on releasing this over on Curse (shouldn't take very long).

Really looking forward to what you have for us. What timeframe are we looking at for a live version? Can we just use the old one by enabling out of date addons? i have been short of time the last few days. my WoW patch process just finished, and there is a problem with the cast bar/cast warning module(s) that i want to try to fix,...

Aloft for WoW 5.0.4
Posted By: acapela
now that WoW 5.0.4 is live, i am behind the curve again. i will be downloading the patch probably for the next couple of days (rural DSL, averages about 50KB/sec, if i hog all the bandwidth). then i can test, make sure it works, merge it into the production version, etc, and release (here and on Curse). in the meantime, you can ge...

Aloft-5.0.1-2418

a new version for the MoP Beta/PTR, with a few fixes i identified. i am noticing problems with the Cast Warning module. when "Override" is not enabled, there are problems updating the cast bar properly. when "Override" is enabled, everything seems to work correctly. don't know yet if this problem is in Cast Warning, or the Cast Ba...

Also I have another question. Would is be possible to make it so when your targeting a boss, the elite text would not show up? I want to just be able to see the skull icon and not the level next to it but can't find how to do that. ty sorry for the slow response. dependng on how you have customized Aloft... a) you want to di...

Posted By: acapela
Acapella, will I lose all of The Aloft's personal settings with the release of MoP? don't think so. so far, there have been no major new feature areas in MoP, for which Aloft might need to present new/different options. all i have seen so far are little tweaks to Blizzard's API (which limit changes to "under the hood"). that...

ALoft-5.0.0-2404
Posted By: acapela
the whole "Aloft-5" version series is for WoW "5", Mists of Pandaria. this version will not work on the current (WoW "4") live realms. this will take over as the "real" Aloft when Mists of Pandaria goes live (and will be released over on the Aloft Beta page, as well as at Curse/WoWAce). feel free to install Aloft-5 for use in your...

Aloft and MoP
Posted By: acapela
back from a week-long road trip. so, i have time to start working on getting Aloft ready for MoP (i have a beta key, though WoWInterface has some available, if you are an addon developer). i will probably release this over on the "alpha" page. i will post here when it is ready.

Re: Enemy nameplates
Posted By: acapela
Good afternoon, I have noticed a weird behaviour. When I log in everything is ok, but if I have to relog or if I log a different toon, enemy nameplates are hidden, I have to re-enable them. I usually show enemy nameplates only. I get no error message and I simply have to re-enable them using the borker button, I use latest the versi...

Re: One More Thing
Posted By: acapela
...I think there should be an option to customize your own nameplate... Is that something that can be done? that i can answer definitely: the player has no bar-style "nameplate", just a text tag. adding something like that in a way that coordinated/overlapped with other nameplates would be impossible. i am having trouble visual...

Posted By: acapela
You wouldn't call Alof light? Maybe I can see that, but when I have all nameplates enabled in SW I hardly get a performance decrease and never see Aloft get high enough to be spotted on my addon performance information. And I'm on KT with the biggest ally population. Any other nameplate addon, tidy especially, if I did the I woul...

Hey, I am new to Aloft, but I am looking to replace Tidy Plates. I feel it runs too heavy and does not offer anywhere near the customization I need for my UI. well, hate to say it, but i wouldn't call Aloft "light" either... Although, Docs had a brilliant feature that allowed for customizing of friendly plates removing the heal...

Posted By: acapela
Default target castbar, what if you 'slave' it somehow? So when changing targets midcast we see a mirror of the actual casbar at the nameplate? Aloft already does that, using the Blizzard nameplate cast bar (which Blizzard does not provide, mid-cast, during the course of target switching). you are suggesting providing a targ...

Seems 20 is not enough, is it possible to make the bar animation automatically adjust to the cleint's fps? i will make this update interval a user option. the upper limit on speed will be "every frame" (aka the client's FPS). this is in, but even when i reduce the update interval to 0 (resulting in an update on every frame, bas...
