FAQ

I can't enable Blizzard's Floating Combat Text!
That means it was disabled in the Blizzard Interface menu; you'll have to enable it.
(Note that if you use MSBT, it will disable Blizzard's FCT)
Code:
```
Interface -> Floating Combat Text -> [X] My Floating Combat Text
```
The class color options are not showing up.
If Class Colors is loaded, then SCR will let that addon handle the colors instead.
I don't see the "PopupMessage" output.
That output is provided by Prat 3.0

Credits

Credits go to the authors of their respective addons/libraries. Thanks Neutronimity and Darkshåman for their help with testing.
SCR is inspired by Social _SCT and Freeaze.

Hi again Xarl, and thanks for reporting the error. It should be fixed now in the v0.7.0 release (I replaced all instances of BATTLEGROUND to INSTANCE_CHAT)

Sorry Rosoaa, I don't think there currently is an output for whispering

The processed text is passed to LibSink (which also controls all the outputs) and I don't have any control over that

One of the cleaner solutions could be to make a feature request ticket for it, or rather provide a patch with your code (note: the author is lazy)

The other solutions are kind of ugly .. plus relaying chat isn't "officially" supported but kind of facilitated

I personally really liked the chat relaying functionality, but sometimes messages went MIA or got severely butchered, so it's kind of unofficially supported .. (I tried to at least prevent infinite/spam loops where it relayed your own chat over and over) ><

A workaround could be to output to and use custom channels though*

I certainly can do that, but let's just say tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm atm behind with school work, so the earliest update would be next weekend

Happy birthday.

Oh, sorry for the miscommunication. Officer Chat falls under the Guild Chat option, so if Guild Chat is enabled, then Officer Chat should be too (provided your rank can see Officer Chat)

I thought it would be more simple/condensed this way. Same for Real ID whispers falling under normal whispers

You mean, that it "reroutes/broadcasts" any chat into Officer channel instead?

That should be possible under

Code:

Output -> Channel -> [Sub section] Officer Chat

You can only have max 1 current output though, and no idea how multiple outputs would be implemented

I have to disappoint you .. let's just say I gamed too much WoW and L4D2 recently, instead of addons

Still need to add more chat types
I was additionally working on some basic options to configure the scroll speed, font size, and positioning of the "Blizzard Floating Combat Text"

Enrolling in school next week, so that's my deadline

Hi Xarl, this is indeed true. I found the bug and it will be fixed in the upcoming v0.6.0 release. soon™

Thanks, working on it again now, here is a preview for v0.6.0

Emotes should now be static messages, similar to Achievements (without timestamp, channel, etc)
Item Links in Real ID chat are now colored by quality (previously only colored white)
An option to see your outgoing (Real ID) whispers (currently only received whispers are supported)
More optional chat types: e.g. Monster/NPC Yells, System, Target Icons

There definitely is room for other useful features, like anti-spam (BadBoy) and chat filtering, but I'm not experienced enough and have other (easier) stuff I'd like to work on more =(

Oh thats good to hear

Keep up the good work Ketho
