Emphasized auras issue.

When the amount of emphasized auras is set to 3, the addon is still limited to displaying 2 emphasized auras at a time. I have tried multiple different sizes/settings for the emphasized auras and I cannot get it to display 3 when set.

Also when this limit of 2 is reached, any further emphasized auras that need to be displayed do not automatically show as normal auras unless you create both an emphasized and normal aura for it.

This means you need to create 2 auras for every emphasized aura if you still want it to show on the nameplate once 2 emphasized auras are already displaying.

There's an option to display the normal aura as well as the emphasized, I believe it's at the bottom of the Buffs & Debuffs section. Although this could possibly be moved to the aura itself so that this can be controlled on an individual basis.

I'll have to look into the issue with only 2 emphasized auras being displayed, even if the option is set to 3. And also look into what should happen to an aura if it can't fit into the emphasized auras. I think there should be something in place for if that happens already, but I could be remembering wrong.

The option to display the normal as well as emphasized shows both at the same time. The scenario I was trying to point out is one where you don't want both the normal and emphasized auras showing simultaneously, but the maximum emphasized auras are showing.

In that scenario the other auras that are emphasized will just not display because there already 2 emphasized auras showing. So the aura will just not display at all unless you also add second copy of the aura as a normal aura. It would be nice if they could show as a normal aura if there is no room to be displayed as an emphasized aura without having to enable every aura showing as both, or create two copies of each. Allowing more than 2 emphasized to show at once would help to lessen the frequency of the issue as well.

I tested this this morning by adding 3 new emphasized auras that were not on my list, with emphasize hides normal aura enabled. The third aura was unable to be displayed because there were already 2 emphasized auras and did not show as a normal aura. This can be resolved by adding it as both an emphasized and a normal aura but can be tedious if you have a ton of auras whitelisted.

After looking through the code, everything you describe is how it's intended to work. However, I found 2 separate issues that prevented this from happening in certain cases.

  • If your normal auras are showing less than 4 auras per row(aka aura scale set to more than 98%) the Emphasized aura slots would get set to 2 due to an oversight.
  • If the aura shouldn't have been displayed normally, through the general aura filters, it wouldn't overflow back into normal auras if the emphasized slots were full.

Both these things are fixed in the latest release and I believe all the issues mentioned should be fixed as a result.

Just tested the new version, both scenarios are now working correctly. Thanks again, appreciate the quick responses/fixes.
