Why was nameplateShowOnlyNames removed?

I can’t figure out how to do this with that addon. Tested with a druid in an instance. I can make their name white, illegible dark blue, or the default light blue.

I’ll have to examine the code more to figure out how they are even getting those colors because I am unable to call SetTextColor on ForbiddenNamePlates.

The latest version of Plater (550.2) has restored this functionality for me. It seems addons are now able to manually set the hideCastbar and hideHealthbar settings now.

Oh yeah, my bad. I just noticed that when I was toggling stuff the friendly NPCs in Vault switched from green to white and then saw the class color setting and mistook the two.

Try this and then set it back to “1”:

/script C_CVar.RegisterCVar("nameplateShowOnlyNames")

So they removed the existing feature before implementing the new one or something…

I posted the fix:

/script C_CVar.RegisterCVar("nameplateShowOnlyNames")

Then set it back to “1”. Wowhead has posted the same information:

Hopefully this will work until they implement the new feature.

Use code tags (</> button in the editor) instead of quote tags. Your " in the script are smartquotes which will trigger an error.
