uh oh. not good. could i get you guys to try Aloft purely by itself?
if it throws errors by itself, i might have forgotten to check something in (i will check on that anyway).
if it does not throw errors by itself, we are probably looking at some sort of librar...

new update, Aloft 2.3.1-200.
this focused primarily on FuBar support, but i also updated the embedded libraries and etc (see changelog). it worked OK for me in the testing i was able to do, but watch for other defects.
i have to scoot now for a few hours, but wanted to get this out to you folks quickly so you could check out th...

no, Aloft does not incorporate that sort of feature. Aloft should show nameplates at all times, based on how the basic options are set (show friendly, show...

Re: can you return casting bar?

i am working on the FuBar interaction bugs (relocating the Aloft frame on the FuBar panel, remembering options, remembering the location of the minimap button if any, and etc).

made a change to two to the code, and spent some time in Alterac Valley looking at hostile player healthbars (and doing a bit of ganking, and being ganked, in the process... mostly being ganked, my poor Rogue is a weakling). the testing is not exhaustive, but this is how i think i have things working (note that the following applies...

brief update:
in my own development version of Aloft (not yet available to the public), FuBar support is added back in. and several bugs have been fixed. i want to look into implementing some keybinds (as mentioned below), and add some options so the user has some control over this "target-of-target" capability. i will also be tes...

quick update:
i have been able to instrument a basic "target-of-target" capability for generic hostile units. as usual with software, once you think through a problem and can visualize it clearly, the code often turns out not-so-complex :).
features/limitations:

Posted By: acapela
another omnibus response. it is more work to do it this way, but combining responses like this seems better to me than responding individually (which just gets spread across multiple pages in the comments and etc).
the good thing about all of this is that you folks are interested in the addon :).

the latest update is pending (Aloft 2.2.0.154, posted 2008/10/10). should be available very shortly.
please enable Blizzard's native "Display->Display Aggro Warning" feature (set it to "Always"), and tell me if you like the nameplate glow look'n'feel in Aloft, and if it is functioning properly for you (especially you AOE tanks who...

omnibus response here. thanks for all your good wishes regarding my recent flu, i am feeling much better now and have been working on Aloft.
an update is pending shortly (i will probably upload it the evening of 2008/10/20).

I'd like to see the Threat Glow better emulate the Blizzard style. Currently it will only glow on your target, but in the default frames it glows on all plates. Aloft vs Blizzard
To get Threat Glow you need to have the whole Threat Bar module enabled, and there is no way to hide the threat bar....

quick update: been dealing with a very nasty, very persistent stomach flu in my personal life recently. you probably don't really want all the lifestyle detail on this, but suffice to say, i have been inactive for a while now. even just sitting up has been a challenge at times... and i remain firmly tethered to a certain fixture in a...

edit: quick/dirty testing suggests the plain-old AceComm-2.0 will do fine on the PTR/WoW 3.x. this will also clear up other LUA errors that were known, under WoW 2.4.3.

i am maybe 40% of the way through an Ace3 port. fairly nasty... the Ace library API has not changed significantly in concept, but they have changed a fair bit in terms of the detailed syntax required, which means a ton of small/local code changes all of which have to be applied and tested. as well, i am working through all the little...

a Combo-point fix is available (v2.1.1.103). tested both on WoW 3.x/PTR and WoW 2.4.3/production.
FYI, in my most recent testing, i have noticed some sudden/new strangeness in the threat data coming out of the Blizzard(tm) native threat API (on the PTR only, WoW 3.x; WoW 2.4.3 uses Threat-2.0 and is not affected).

Posted By: acapela
as soon as it is approved, Aloft v2.1.0.95 will be available.
it works on the PTR (WoW 3.0.2), and so presumably will work under the WotLK beta. feel free to try it out. all the changes to nameplates that Blizzard has made have been addressed, and Blizzard's new native threat API is incorporated.
it also runs under WoW 2.4.3 (c...

- i have Aloft running on the PTR, using the current "beta" of Ace2 for WotLK/WoW 3.x. this was QUITE an adventure, especially to a neophyte like myself (a lot of stuff related to nameplate frames has changed in WotLK/WoW 3.x). hopefully i made effective decisions about how to work with all of it, and was effective in a...
