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.

euphorica79 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I just did a fresh install of SCT, however it's not showing up in the addons menu on my char list (SCT Options is however showing in the list). I also installed SCTD and SCTD-options (these are also both showing) However none of them are working, because SCT is apparently not installed. The SCT Folder is in the Addons Directory (along with all the other folders) and contains the folders that it should (ie, it is in the right place) I don't understand why it isn't showing in the addon list, or as installed. Edit: Ok, I'm blind, It is installed, it is listed as "ScrollingCombatText" and not as SCT, and it is not being "picked up" as being there by the other mods, hence them not working. I deleted the dependancies line in the .toc file, and they seem to work for now. Please fix =/ Last edited by euphorica79 : 10-17-08 at 05:23 PM.

Fenris78 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Combat Text Fonts Hi great addon SCT picks up fonts from other locations (I guess SharedMediaAdditionalFonts and/or LibSharedMedia-3.0) but unlike the fonts that come bundled with the addon I can't get these to apply to the default WoW combat text... is there anything I can do to force this? Many thanks!

Special crits event.

Hello,

I posted this a couple days ago over on your wowace thread, but incase you don't read there any more..

You actually originally helped me with this, but I can't manage to get it working with the new way events work

[19] = {display="", type="DAMAGETARGET", search=ACTION_SWING, critical=1, selfonly=1, r=256/256, g=256/256, b=0/256},
[20] = {display="*1: *4", type="DAMAGETARGET", critical=1, selfonly=1, r=190/256, g=190/256, b=190/256},

It filters out regular melee crits, and shows only special ability crits.

It may not seem like a big deal, but I've been desperately trying to make it work on my own, so if you can lend me a hand, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you!

MrPersonage A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I apologize in advance if this has been asked but I couldn't seem to find anything. I'm trying to add in an event to tell me when sword specialization procs for my rogue. However, I can't seem to figure out what type it would be... I have tried using "Aura Gains", "Cast", "Damage" and "Power" as well as "Buff" in the .lua file. I can't really see the other options working if those didn't and since it is a small proc it takes a bit to test out if it worked or not. So if you could be so kind as to shed some light on which type would work I would be most appreciative.
