SCTD messages above player heads

Reubarb · 06-13-07, 02:54 PM

I can't seem to figure it out and feel like it's probably very simple.

How do I get the damage I deal to be shown ontop of the heads of the mob that is being damaged?

It's in this streaming video (and probably thousands of others): http://www.warcraftmovies.com/stream.php?id=24278

Edit: I have the newest version of SCTD, and I don't want the nameplates to show.

im not so really sure but i think its the normal damage thing blizzard has and he has just changed it to a new font. Dont think a sctd over their head exist, sorry

Reubarb · 06-13-07, 03:02 PM

Well his damage is definitely sticking on top of his targets' heads instead of dead center in the screen.

Mock · 06-13-07, 03:05 PM

understood it now?

Reubarb · 06-13-07, 03:07 PM

Oh you're saying he doesn't even use SCTD?

Mock · 06-13-07, 03:09 PM

heh yeah

dunno why i didnt just say that

I switched to their damage viewer style thing and it's way too big a font. Any idea how to change the font size?

Mock · 06-13-07, 03:15 PM

Nope, sorry no idea
You gotta hope someone else will answer you..

i didn't watch the video, but you can turn on damage over your target(s)'s head by enabling nameplates in WoW first (if you don't already have them on) and then selecting the nameplate option in SCTD.

also, you can change the default WoW fonts by using ClearFont2.

I don't want nameplates though. They're too bulky and ****ty and ugly.

Rigorous · 06-14-07, 09:30 AM

then check out Aloft to customize them over at wowace.

SCTD actually REMOVES the damage being displayed over your target's head. If you disable sct_d, but KEEP sct that should work. Oh by the way, enable 'Show Target Damage' in advanced interface options but keep Enable Floating Combat Text turned off.

I think that should do it?
