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.

This is the event that I wrote... [19] = {name="Devour Magic!", type="debufftarget", search="Nheedrom's Devour Magic", r=0/256, g=0/256, b=256/256, iscrit=1 I think that the type is wrong but I am not sure, as I have tried all 3 events to no avail. Also I don't know how to make it tell me which debuffs I am devouring even though I know its possible as it is in the combat log. I have poured over you tutorials and maybe I am just blind but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Any help is MUCH appreciated.....

/sct menu

A little annoying that "/sct" doesn't default to showing the menu, but I suspect that's an Ace2 quirk.

letty A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Hello Greyhoof, and thank you for this addon, I've used it since it came out. But, in an earlier version, when I were playing my rogue; the addon told me when I got an Extra Attack when my sword specialization talent hit. But it doesnt anymore. It's not really important, but it's a nice feature to have. But it seems not to be working anymore, and I've been searching for any tips on how to get it back. Any solution to this? Or am I blind?

Grayhoof A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 54 File comments: 149 Uploads: 4	The whole point of the file is to provide users a way to tweak "oddball" things how they like, without me having to write UI option code for every little skill/spell/want. I don't think its too much to ask to tweak a few skills in a file for the amount of flexibility it provides everyone. Or just don't overwrite the file when you install new versions.

Agreed. Warlocks normaly know when they're going to get a Soulshard. Same story with Priests and Spirit Tap on every kill while solo'ing. I do like how Nightfall procs are coming up, though I would like to be able to flag that message as a crit. I've been unable to find any options for any of these messages. A little help, please?

i thought i'd tried that and it defaulted to 500 despite what i enter. i'll try it again though.

thanks for the reply -- amey

edit: typed 725, edit box defaulted to 500, but i didn't see the HoT spam, so it worked.
