Scrolling Combat Text

Version: 7.1

by: Grayhoof [More]

Please post all errors and suggestions on http://grayhoof.wowinterface.com/ using the provided forms.

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.

Mikari A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 17 File comments: 102 Uploads: 3	I noticed the latest version lists a chat tab tainting fix, what was the extent of the tainting, is it something that could have caused pet actionbar problems? Trying to troubleshoot my pet bar not showing in combat randomly.

Arklite A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	First of all, thank you very much for your add on. I can certainly see how this can help a mediocre player (i.e., me) better understand everything that is happening, as well as benefit veterans who need all the information instantly in order to react to situations as they arise. I have been trying to structure the addon to act similar to that of a high level pvper I saw online, but I thus far been unsucessful. There are a number of things I still need to figure out but I am sure I can figure it out in time. That said, after three or more hours fiddling with the add on, I figure it wouldnt hurt to ask for a little help. 1. EDIT: Figured it out myself 2. EDIT: Discovered a check box I shouldnt have marked 3. EDIT: Now a moot point Oh, all questions answered. Thanks for the mod man! -Arklite Last edited by Arklite : 01-13-07 at 04:30 PM.

I know I'm doing something stupid, but when I parry with my Rogue I no longer see the obvious Riposte! message on the screen. I have the Active Skills and Parries checked and other than upgrading to 5.3b, I don't believe I have changed any other options. Any ideas? EDIT: Never mind. I found a custom event that took care of it. I have no idea why it disappeared, but it's working now. __________________ Grynn (80 Druid), Trig (80 Rogue), Krajen (80 Warrior), Jovix (80 Hunter), Sqeeve (80 Mage) on Cenarion Circle Last edited by garnerh42 : 01-12-07 at 02:20 PM.

SCT seems to not be showing anything for healing done to target, if all of the heal is an overheal.

This only applies to HoT heals (like renew or rejuvenation), since they only 'proc' when there is actually something to heal. The normal instant heals (like flash heal and healing touch) are properly shown by SCT, even with 100% overheal.

Kalten-Alleria A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Question about your terrific add on.. Hey Gray, Thanks for an awesome add on. My question is this: Can you add an option within SCT, that will make us able to move the raid warning and raid shout (IE. /RW and /RS) on the screen. I use to have an add on that let me move the placement of the /RW and /RS either vertical or horizontal on the screen. Is it possible to add this feature to SCT? Thanks again, Kalten

Memory usage is not a big concern in WoW 2.0 as it automatically garbage collects as needed on the fly, instead of the old way of doing a big one every once in a while. That being said, nothing changed in SCT around memory usage, but it might have for ParserLib and the Ace2 libs.

5.3 fixed all the issues I was having with overlapping crits and custom events not working at random. Just wondering if memory usage is supposed to be higher now? Seems quite a bit higher, but nothing major, gets to around 21MB. Just wondering if SCT is doing anything that would increase memory usage now.

I only support the Ace2 files included with the zip on this site. If you are updating other Ace2 files, you need to get the SCT on the WoWAce SVN site.

Code:

I think maybe the order of the OnInitialize (where RegisterDB is called) vs ADDON_LOADED events changed?
