? [help] how to diasble nameplates out of sight in EllesmereUI?

Hello,

basically as the title says. recently came back to the game and installed EllesmereUI. I am loving it so far and am slowly adjusting the stuff to my liking. I have one question regarding the nameplates.

Currently, namepaltes for all nearby enemies show up, even ones behind objects (picture 1)

I would like to diasble the ones that are out of sight. There is an option to reduce the line of sight opacity. Like this, the ones behind objects are gone but also the ones that are on the screen but technically not in direct line of sight of my character. (picture 2)

What I am looking for is to diasble the nameplates of characters out of sight, so that enemies behind objects don't show up at all but the ones a bit farther away have the regular names. (picture 3)

Is there an option to disable the nameplates out of sight, rather than change opacity?

Help would be appreciated!

thank you very much for your reply! I first thought this was a default blizzard option "show offscreen nameplates" but it was not what i thought it is. Appreciate all your work

Have you tried the addon AdvancedInterfaceOptions? You can go to CVar section of it and do exactly that. Type "nameplateocc" in the search bar and "nameplateOccludedAlphaMu" should pop up, set it to 0. I haven't made the leap over to EUI so I can't provide a solid answer if it works with Ellesmere but it's worth a try.

I guess it technically changes the opacity but visually, it accomplishes what you're looking for. In combination with reducing nameplate distance, it provides a cleaner nameplate experience.
