I'm currently having an issue wherein my nameplates completely disappear after switching from version 2.18.2; I've tried every other release version, but none of them show nameplates, meaning I have to stick with 2.18.2. I've had it for a few months now, but I'd like to update. I don't have any other addons that change nameplates, except flyPlateBuffs, which I disabled, but it has done nothing. I'm also using the profile from 2.18.2, but it shows nothing. Creating a new profile doesn't seem possible for some reason. I can type in a name for the profile and click okay, but it does nothing, and I don't want to delete my profiles to potentially "force" a new one.

Other than that, I really like this addon.

Update to the most recent version and try running this in chat:

/knp set cvar_enable true && set cvar_disable_alpha nil && set cvar_occluded_mult nil

If that doesn't help, enable lua errors and reload the ui:

/consle scriptErrors 1
/console ReloadUI

Do any errors relating to KNP pop up? Does one pop up if you try to make a new profile? Copy them here.

You don't need to comment in both places.

I updated to the most recent version and ran that first command in chat, but nothing happened. I then downloaded AdvancedInterfaceOptions, enabled error reporters, and then I ran the bottom two commands in chat. I didn't get anything from those either. I then reverted back to 2.18.2 and ran the bottom two commands again, but nothing showed up.

However, one thing I discovered about the profiles issue is that, for the most recent version, if I attempt to make a profile and click Ok, even though nothing happens immediately, the profile is supposedly made after I reload. For instance, one profile I attempted to make showed up when I reverted back to 2.18.2, and, when I attempt to make profiles in the most recent version, I get a checkmark next to New Profile and my current profile, but I don't think that happens in 2.18.2.

One thing I should have clarified is that I can make profiles smoothly in 2.18.2.

This is with the most recent update of KNP, and I changed nothing from 2.18.2:

This is how it looks when I use 2.18.2, yet again with nothing changed:

Ok, can you also give me the ouput of: /knp dump - it should open a window you can copy text out of. It has your KNP profile and some other things which try to help me recreate your environment.

If I can't work it out from that then, without any lua errors, I don't really have enough information to know what's happening.

I tried looking through these myself and I didn't notice any differences other than "enUS DRUID" right under the version indicator, but maybe you will notice others. Yet again, these are with no apparent changes, so anything changed would be inbetween version changes. In the end, if I don't figure out what's up, I'm fine with that, assuming the addon still works in future patches, because this addon is fantastic. I'm moreso just scared that I won't be able to have this addon work in a new patch.

If it comes to that, how would you recommend completely uninstalling the addon? Maybe a completely clean install would work, even though I'd have to re-do my profiles; re-doing my profiles is worth the trouble at this point, I think, assuming that I can get the updated version to work.

OK, should've asked for that first. Disable (and uninstall) Kui_Nameplates_Extras - it doesn't exist anymore, and leftie was moved into customs, if you were using that at some point.

That should fix it.

That fixed it. Thank you. Other than that, there's only two things I'm curious about because all this nameplate trouble got me to fidget with some other things:

1. Is there a way to separate friendly player/NPC nameplate font sizes from the font size of enemy nameplates?

2. Is there a way to make friendly nameplates not stack while still making enemy nameplates stack?

If not, that's okay. Thanks for your support, gamer.
