NamePlater (Custom Fonts/Styles/Sizes)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: v0.15
by: kadeer [More]
Description:
  • Allows you to use custom fonts, change the style and size of nameplates

Important Prerequisites:
  • LibAddonMenu-2.0 required
  • Have to Restart game for the custom fonts to show (reloadui/relogin is not enough)
  • If disabling addon, you will need to teleport to a different zone to get the default nameplate font again

What it can do:
  • Use Custom Fonts (see section below to add your own, I have included a few)
  • Change style e.g. Normal, Outline, Shadow etc
  • Change SIZES of nameplate text

Instructions:
  • First make sure nameplates are enabled in settings
  • Next go to NamePlater options menu and change the font settings

Adding Your Own Custom Fonts:
(check out fontsquirrel.com for 100% free fonts)
  • Download a font and put it in the "Nameplater\fonts\" folder
  • Open "Nameplater_Constants.lua" with notepad
  • Under "Custom Font Display Name" add a name in speechmarks followed by a comma e.g "OpenSans",
  • Under "Custom Font Location" add the location followed by a comma e.g. "Nameplater/fonts/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf",
  • Save "Nameplater_Constants.lua" and make sure you added the coma to the end of the lines AND your entries are in the same position on each list.
  • Restart ESO so the font is loaded and then select it from the Nameplater addon menu
*TLDR put font in font folder, add font name and location to "Nameplater_Constants.lua" then save and restart ESO*

Restrictions/Pro Tips:
  • Dont use really long font location names, there is a limit e.g. "OpenSans-ExtraBold-super-duper-mega-wont-work.ttf"
  • Escape > Settings > Nameplates, Nameplates = ON
  • In nameplate settings change "Targeted" to "Always" so you dont look like a creeper when you are trying to see someones name because you need pixel perfect aim

Yeah, I noticed that I have to swap zones for this addon to work properly.
Edit: After updating this addon, they just vanish after changing zones now...

Just wanted to throw a thank-you your way! I always had a bit of a hard time reading the nameplates, and this is great with a custom font w/ thick outline and resized.

try restarting the game (sometimes it needs to restart fully to load font files), try a different font style (OpenSans is good), increase the font size to the highest one (to make it easier to see subtle differences).

Hi there

I followed the steps to add my own font, and it does appear in the list in-game. However when I select it, the names don't show. It's just empty. I change it back to one of the ones included in the mod and they appear again.

Any thoughts on this? The font is 'fontin_sans_b' and I copy/pasted it from the LUIExtended media folder.

Thanks!

Im not sure it would be possible, but im happy with what it does currently, nice and simple.

I asked ZOS if they would allow colour changing the names but they wouldnt even do that

You are free to borrow my code and build something better (its a very small amount of code)
