Be sure to check out my simple but enhanced combat log EavesDrop

Also check out SCTD if you want SCT to show your damage.

What is it? - A fairly simple but very configurable mod that adds damage, heals, and events (dodge, parry, windfury, etc...) as scrolling text above you character model, much like what already happens above your target. This makes it so you do not have to watch (or use) your regular combat chat window and gives it a "Final Fantasy" feel.

What can it do?

- Damage messages
- Heals (incoming and outgoing) and Overhealing (with healer ID's), with filtering for small heals.
- Spell Damage/Resists and Damage Type
- All "Miss" events (dodge, block, immune, etc...)
- Custom Colors for all text events
- Config file to setup custom events (self and target), capture data, and display it.
- Debuff/Buff gain and loss Messages
- Low Health and Mana Warnings with values, and optional sounds
- Rage/Mana/Energy Gains
- Enter and Leave Combat Messages
- Rogue Combo Points, 5 CP Alert Message
- Class Skill alerts (Execute, Overpower, CounterAttack, etc...)
- Honor, Reputation, Skill Gain
- Eight Animation Types (Verticle, Rainbow, Horizontal, Angled Down, Angled Up, Sprinkler, Curved HUD, Angled HUD)
- Four Fonts
- Two seperate Animation frames, each with their own settings. Assign any Event to either.
- Ability to flag any event as critical or as a text messages
- Sliders for text size, opacity, animation speed, movement speed, and on screen placement (with custom editbox)
- Lightmode, for when you care most about performance (at the loss of a few features).
- Now Based in Ace3.
- Settings saved per character by default, but supports all Ace3 Profiles
- Load/Delete settings from another character. Load built in Profiles.
- Localized to work in almost all WoW clients.

How do I use it? - First unzip it into your interface\addons directory. For more info on installing, please read install.txt. Now just run WoW and once logged in, type /sctmenu to get the options screen.

SCT_EVENT_CONFIG.LUA is used to setup custom message events. Please open up the file (notepad, etc...) and read the opening section to understand how to use it all.
PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FILE IN SCT. IF YOU DON'T READ IT AND USE IT, THEN YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON A TON OF WHAT SCT HAS TO OFFER IN CUSTOMIZATION

/sctdisplay is used to create your own custom messages.
Useage:
/sctdisplay 'message' (for white text)
/sctdisplay 'message' red(0-10) green(0-10) blue(0-10)
Example: /sctdisplay 'Heal Me' 10 0 0 - This will display 'Heal Me' in bright red
Some Colors: red = 10 0 0, green = 0 10 0, blue = 0 0 10, yellow = 10 10 0, magenta = 10 0 10, cyan = 0 10 10

FAQ
How do I get My Crits or My Hits to show? I would suggest you get SCTD: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=4913

I don't understand what the 2 frames are for! - Each frame lets you set different features. So you can set frame one using Sprinker animation and Default font, while frame 2 can be using Veritcle animation and Adventure font. You can then assign each event to a specfic frame using the radio buttons next to the events.

There's too many options. Help someone new see how things work! - Try out some of the new built in profiles. While on the options screen, click the "Profiles" button. At the top of the window will be a listing of some default profiles to try out. Maybe you'll fine one you like or it will spark some ideas for you to try.

How do I change the fonts? - You can now select from many fonts on the options page. You can also change the font of message and apply the font to the in game damage font used for your damage (requires relog)

I don't like friendly nameplates on. How do I make my heals appear over who I heal? - Friendly nameplates have to be on in order to show your heals. SCT will turn them on if you turn on the option, but you must manually turn them off if you don't like it (see Target keybindings).

I don't like the new spell icons, how do I turn them off? - There is an option to turn them off under the spell tab.

SunrEyes A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Re: Re: Will there be an upgrade sometimes? Hello Grayhoof, I had written similar lines before, but it seems my requests got lost on the way, so here I go again. ;-) I'd love to have an option that determines whether self heals (i.e. heals cast on oneself) are considered ingoing or outgoing. That way, I could split these two categories into frame 1 and frame 2, with all healing done by myself in frame 1. Right now, healing spells cast on my own character will only show in frame 2 (incoming heals), which is a little annoying to me. Furthermore I'd wish for an option that allows health filtering to be applied to raw heal values. Right now, a 2k Flash of Light which, sadly, only causes overhealing, will not be displayed at all if the healing filter is set to 50, for example. (This only happens when overhealing is shown.) Anyway, thanks for all the great work on an AddOn that makes WoW and especially healing a lot more enjoyable! Greetings, SunrEyes

danneracci A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I am having troubles getting a custom event to work for my half cast meta gem. I am using the line: [20] = {name="Focus!", search="You gain Focus.", r=256/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, class={"Priest"}}, because using type=buffself and search="Focus" was also triggering off Inner Focus. but now it is still triggering whenever "You gain Focused Casting" from being crit, even though I placed a period after Focus in the search field. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can filter out these results and have it only pop up when "You gain Focus."? EDIT: Fixed it by adding trash lines before Focus with name=" ",search="Focused Casting" and "Inner Focus" Last edited by danneracci : 12-03-07 at 09:43 PM.

I think the correct action would be to stop processing events while hidden.

Yes, the same thing happens when you ALT+TAB out of the game also..

I dont like to activate the "Load out of date" option, since I got many problems with old addons at previous patches.

You could always.........delete the old addons.

There is no uptdate since August. 2 major patchs came since then, and we have no notice from the makers as if he decided to stop upgrading this addon, or if there is another place where we can find it. So SCT is dead?
