Ignore the random minimap icon, I was fiddling with an addon xD

How do you shorten loot messages to look like it does in this screenshot?

I got CashFlowLite to shorten gold loot, but i'd like to shorten all other loot messages aswell, and possibly achievements ([Player X] + [Random Achievement] is so much shorter and sweet.)

Indeed it's not MiniLoot but http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=39564

Yeah, thanks. From the looks of it though, it seems i need to set this up as an addon myself and i'm kinda green when it comes to that.

Same here ^-^ though would love something like this :3

Put the code in Saitket's post into any lua file at the bottom and it'll work. I threw it into the small add-on I mention below.

As for the loot strings, I created a folder called StringEdits, placed a .toc file with this code in it:

Code:

## Interface: 30300
## Title: CustomStrings
## Notes: Customized global strings, with thanks WowInterface.
## Version: 1
## X-Category: Chat/Communication

StringEdits.lua

and then created a StringEdits.lua file with the loot strings inside.

Put this somewhere in an LUA file, and it should work just fine

EDIT: ORR just do what they all said, because I'm extremely slow, apparently xD

Thanks alot, got it running now.

Edit: Possible to take it even further by adding profession/experience gains aswell?

+Skinning (421)
replacing
Your skill in skinning has increased to 421.

+621 EXP.
replacing
[Random Mob] dies, you gain 621 experience.

I found what controls the exp chat message however, I want to change the text from:

Rat dies, you gain 10 exp.

TO

+10exp.

Cant seem to get rid of the %s because if you simply change it to:

COMBATLOG_XPGAIN_FIRSTPERSON = "|c0000ffff+|r %dxp!";

it returns some looong number.

Basically trying to get rid of the name of the Mob that died and have just the exp number showing.

Moxie · 04-13-11, 11:29 AM

Try:

Code:

COMBATLOG_XPGAIN_FIRSTPERSON_UNNAMED = "|c0000ffff+|r %dxp!"

Thanks but nope...the global that changes the text is:

COMBATLOG_XPGAIN_FIRSTPERSON = "%s dies, you gain %d experience."

So far I can get:
COMBATLOG_XPGAIN_FIRSTPERSON = "|c0000ffff-%s|r + %dxp"

Which looks like:

-Rat +10xp

Guess I'll have to live with that for now because if you take out the %s then it doesn't work at all.

EDIT: Update - COMBATLOG_XPGAIN_FIRSTPERSON_UNNAMED seems to handle when you gain exp when you use a gathering skill...Like herbing. So that was helpful!

Rilgamon · 04-13-11, 04:05 PM

Try

Code:

"%.0s%dxp!"

Moxie · 04-13-11, 04:09 PM

That works. Going to steal it for my baby alt.

Thanks!
