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
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
