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.

You'll need to look in both sct_options and sctd_options at the localization.fr.lua files for each. If/When you find the problem, please create a new "bug" report on my portal and I can help you further there.

Thanks,
Gray

Re: SCT Attacker Notifier?

I've tried to find an option that enables this, but have had no luck. Does anybody know how to do this?

Oh, and something I'm more interested in is how to display the spell name that you're getting hit by, beside the damage it dealt.

Such as: "-1450 (Mortal Strike)"

Anybody know how to do this, too? I know it works for SCTD with the damage YOU deal.

Can anybody answer this question? I've been messing around with SCT and haven't found a solution...

pumkin54 A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Aggro Notification I just updated my version of SCT and SCTD to the latest version. In my previous version, I got notification every time I had aggro from anything. AGGRO would appear as a message in the middle of my screen. Incredibly useful for PVP. This latest version no longer does that. Was it removed? I can't find anything in the options to make it do that. How do I turn it back on? Do I have to revert to my previous version?? >< Thanks.

Grayhoof A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 54 File comments: 149 Uploads: 4	Re: Aggro Notification Chroz, SCT does not currently offer that option. anduril, that is fixed for the next release alderon, you have to actually add a search pattern for it. The EXP already appears above your heard in WoW, so not sure why you would want SCT to show it also =) pumkin54, SCT has never had aggro notification. Another mod you had installed must have been sending the message through SCT.

I can't even see my bandages, it just says Bandage and -Bandage. I have it set to show the HOTs, etc. @pumkin54: that's part of XPerl unit frames, on one of the right-ish tabs there is an option for aggro warning in a party, uncheck that.

Nabbz A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Custom event only working some times ??? Having an issue with Concussive Barrage (a chance to stun target on regular shots). I finally figured out how to detect it but it is only working some times. Maybe 30% of the time SCT will show my custom alert (and play a sound), while the other 70% of the time it procs it does nothing. I am using: [18] = {name="Steady Shot Now!", search="Concussive Barrage", r=200/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, ismsg=1, class={"Hunter"}, soundwave="Sound\\Character\\Dwarf\\DwarfVocalMale\\DwarfMaleCheer01.wav"}, combined with the un-commenting of the following two msg's: "CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_HOSTILEPLAYER_DAMAGE", -- for your debuffs "CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE", -- for your debuffs Any idea why this would work only occasionally? BTW: In stock form, those two commented lines above have NO COMMAS at their end (prior to the comment) and will cause the rest of the list to be corrupted.

I have been using it for a long time now and have encountered this issue only recently. I am running SCT 5.31, I have Active skills enabled as crit in frame 1. When the mob or player is at 20% or less I fail to receive an Execute notice anywhere. I have deleted my sct.lua and localization files in my WTF folder. I have deleted and reinstalled SCT (both folders within Addons) and even been in game and /sctreset, all with no luck. The mod functions great otherwise, am I failing to enable something within the custom event folder? That is the only thing I can think of as I am running a few custom events, but they all show up with zero problems. I would love to get my Execute notices back asap. Thanks.

I have the exact problem. I have also deleted my WTF and reenstalled still no "Execute" alerts. Of course it easy to just look at the mobs health but i'd rather watch the fight so to speak.
