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.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Thanks for an awesome addon Grayhoof, been using it for many many years, even back in vanilla One question however, I play a warrior and I noticed that it doesn't always report how much damage a spell reflect does, so I decided to investigate the combat events. As it turns out, it just seems to be with how events are passed, there are no consistent way in which order they come. I'll give some examples here, first one reports reflected damage just fine, second one does not, both events in all cases, have the same time stamp. Code: Unbound Seer Arcane Bolt was reflected by Ryn. Unbound Seer's Arcane Bolt hits Unbound Seer for 896 Arcane. Code: Unbound Seer's Arcane Bolt hits Unbound Seer for 941 Arcane. Unbound Seer Arcane Bolt was reflected by Ryn. Would it be hard to made a small workaround, so even when the damage is reported before the reflected event, we can still see how much damage is reflected?

Xeddicus A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 32 Uploads: 1	My low mana doesn't work either nor does incoming damage on my mage (seems to work on other characters). Dodges etc work fine, but when I get hit nothing. Disabled all other addons to check for a conflict, but same result. The 'SCT' dummy message fires when the option is checked, but no actual numbers in combat. Edit: And now it seems to be working. At least it was yesterday before todays bug fix patch. Weird.

Squishy Tia A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 98 Uploads: 0	4.0.3 stutter issue when gaining soul shard In 4.0.3, SCT causes the entire game to momentarily lock up whenever a player is on a warlock and gains any number of soul shards, whether in combat via shadowburn or via soul harvest out of combat. By momentary lockup, I mean that the UI, input vontrol and actual frame display is halted until the animation for gaining a soul shard is finished. The out of combat issue isn't gamebreaking, but the in-combat gain is. Here is the LUA error I get when I gain a soul shard: Message: Interface\AddOns\sct\sct.lua:581: bad argument #3 to 'string_format' (string expected, got nil) Time: Tue Nov 16 11:53:55 2010 Count: 2 Stack: [C]: ?

The in-game LUA error box sucks hardcore because of that limitation. This issue is 100% repeatable, with all addons (including SCT), and with SCT alone with all other addons disabled. Took me nearly 2 hours to track this down fully due to me having nearly 100 addon components and soulburn/soul harvest's annoyinf cooldowns. Last edited by Squishy Tia : 11-16-10 at 11:04 PM.

I just tested and sct disables the blizzard healing option in combat text upon loading. Is there any way to stop that. It doesn't seem like it would be an intended function of the addon since only with nameplates does the sct healing show up.

You can set SCT to show your healing on others. I disabled mine only because it obscured a lot of the playfield whenever I Holy Nova'd or used PoH.

I understand this, the issue I meant to bring up is that sct disables the blizzard default healing every time it loads. What I couldn't find prior to posting was the button that disables wow healing. (I've found it now, hence I feel like a fool and recant my prior complaint)

Trust me, there's no need to feel like a fool. Blizzard buries things Windows 7 style half the time, and sometimes so do our addons. Thankfully SCT is nowhere near as bad as Quartz is in this regard.

I wish I could figure out how to fix SCT though. Right now it literally causes the entire game to lock up momentarily whenever you gain a soul shard as a warlock.

Re: Re: Re: Re: blizzard healing disabled

You don't have the latest version of SCT installed. 6.51 specifically fixes this issue, and I can tell you don't have it installed because the line numbers in your error messages don't match with 6.51

You are indeed correct. I'm scratching my head on that one - I have a feeling it got wiped when I had to rebuild my HD from a backup earlier this month because Carbon Copy Cloner nuked my main downloads directory (containing all of my system updaters and WoW addon backups) with a freaking SYMLINK.

Go go backup programs that are symlink stupid.
