works. thanks a lot

Hey, thank you again for your AddOn.

Bug report : When fighting raid bosses, it seems the level displayed is wrong. I saw Mar'Li being displayed as level 57 once. And I *think* level 1 tonight, no sure. I'm pretty sure 57 wasn't the only error regarding level.

All mobs show lower level for you when you are drunk. And yes, that is blizzlike.

Any update about implementing a cast bar for the nameplates?
Can I change them somehow to class color?

I looked at castbars and it's roughly one time again the whole addon code just for that feature, it's not trivial.
It's not unworkable but I've had to put addon dev on hold for a bit as I have a project due at work and can't slack.

Modernist's plates already have a castbar (they're cousins to this) and he has said he intends to make it possible at some point to use them standalone or at least disable other parts of the UI.

Might have better luck there if you're in a hurry.

you can have it look like this with some simple .lua edits (using both addons at the same time), not really pretty tho

I like this addon alot so far

One thing I noticed with both this fork and the original addon- it feels like the range at which nameplates appear is significantly shorter than default nameplates. Is that just my imagination?

If it is shorter, is it then be possible to adjust nameplaters to appear at longer ranges(ie whatever my class's max range is)?

[Roadblock]

The range at which nameplates appear is not something addons can control.
The skinning might sometimes be 1 frame late but that would just cause the nameplates to quickly "flicker" as the default art is replaced, it wouldn't affect the distance at which the nameplates appear, that's entirely on the client.

Just my imagination after all
much sadness

I still remember when they increased nameplate range with ICC, that day was a good day ^^

Still a great addon/fork, very curious to see what tanking will be like with this

Added a pre-release version to first post.
