We can't add textures or texts above the ingame graphics. Addons can only change existing textures at some points or chnage the menus + behaviour etc. that got nothing to do with the graphics ingame.

As we can only get information about players we interact with, or at least we have the crosshair above them, or we are grouped with, there might be no way to add information about players "that stand in your line of sight" :-(

There are some addons that cna change the crosshair/reticle, show information about guilds, friends etc., change the color of the names shown at the reticle if you know the players.

-RainbowReticle
-Combat Reticle
-Info reticle
Just search for reticle

Or:
-TargetLookup
-ThurisazGuildInfo

but is possible to print some text in CHAT or in the HEALTH BAR (like a title of honor, eg: Admin Author etc) visible only to players who have the addon?

What do you want to achieve with the addon?

You want to see some text at the player's reticle/health bar for those playernames/accountnames where you have saved the text before at a special input mask (like the friends list)?
This could be possible I think.


But as said before:
You can only see this text if you move the reticle over the player character, and it will not be shown if you just look around and the player is walking next to you.
You need to look directly at him and your crosshair must "touch" him to get the information about his account etc.

What i want to achieve is having a title (like i said, eg Addon Author) before the name between "[" "]" or with color in target/chat/health bar positions, if it's possible to add a pemanent chat bubble that shows your name upper your head, then it's sublime, but basically i'm finding something that shows this title in the basic positions

This is a image link showing the position i mean: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/..._47_37_182.jpg

Same thing if you target someone. If you have installed the addon, and the addon says to show this title on a character having this name, i wanted in the same positions i described before, here another link image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/..._49_26_413.jpg

I hope I was clear this time
