I'm not seeing any options to show for example: "<Cloth Armor Merchant>, <Tailoring Supplies>, etc" underneath friendly NPCs. Did I miss this option, or can this be implemented please?

None of the settings under "Friendly Headline Subtext" seem to be showing the vendor text I'm looking for unfortunately.

I want to avoid having to toggle because the default nametag text is super pixelated and the goal is to set and forget.

It's called NPC Role

With NPC Role enabled, it says "Friendly" under these vendor NPCs.

That is quite odd, none of the options should display what their reaction is.
Any chance you could send me a screenshot? And maybe I can tell what is going from that.

Just double checked that I am running the latest version: 1.13.2.24.

Ok, so I think I've figured out what is going on. I forgot myself how this works, but it grabs the NPC role information from your tooltip, the second row more specifically. So I am assuming your tooltip addon is changing the order of these items and causing it to mess up.

I'll have to look into if there's some more reliable way to grab it but that is what's going on right now.

In healthbar mode it doesn't exist, I've been considering adding it along side guild names. But it does exist in Headline/text only mode under Enemy/Friendly Headline Subtext.

Usually you would run with All NPCs disabled for friendly units and then enabling Active/Damaged Units if you were interested in displaying that information.

Ah, that makes sense. I'm struggling to find the offender though, I thought it was TinyTooltip, but apparently not.

All AddOns off, my tooltip looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/QX43cW1.png. Friendly in the second row.

Are you color blind by chance? Because I'm able to replicate this if I enable the "colorblindMode" CVar.

I am! It's adding lines to the tooltip in colourblind mode, just checked. :)

Well I should be able to add an exception for when this CVar is enabled so this should work properly for you in the next release.

Awesome, thank you.
