Yellow damage font changer.
Looking to change my font for the damage above enemy heads/nameplates. All current addons out there don't work.
Any thoughts? Maybe one already exists and is working for someone? |
You can try:

So do you have ElvUI? You never confirmed that http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...ove-enemy-head) |

Hi, You are right about the first. It changes fonts globally (changing also the damage fonts as well). On the second you are not correct. It changes the damage fonts as you can check the code: Lua Code:
You can choose the font using: CombatTextFont:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 11, "OUTLINE, MONOCHROME") You don't need to activate .. just install. |

I answer here to your pm so it could be corrected if I did some mistakes :) 1) Install the rCombatText addon. 2) Copy the desired font in the rCombatText folder ( es. Candara.ttf) 3) Edit the file rCombatText.lua in this way editing the size and adding the name of the font: Lua Code:
Load the game and play. Please let us know if it works. |
Okay, so I moved my multiple fonts into the folder /rCombatText. I just dropped them in and then opened the text file, and copied this in.
local size = 16 local myfont = "Interface\\Addons\\rCombatText\\impact.ttf" CombatTextFont:SetFont(myfont, size, "OUTLINE") CombatTextFont:SetShadowOffset(1,-1) CombatTextFont:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0.6) CombatTextFontOutline:SetFont(myfont, size, "OUTLINE") CombatTextFontOutline:SetShadowOffset(1,-1) CombatTextFontOutline:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0.6) COMBAT_TEXT_HEIGHT = size COMBAT_TEXT_CRIT_MAXHEIGHT = size*1 COMBAT_TEXT_CRIT_MINHEIGHT = size*1 COMBAT_TEXT_SCROLLSPEED = 2.5 local function UpdateDisplayMessages() if COMBAT_TEXT_FLOAT_MODE == "1" then COMBAT_TEXT_LOCATIONS.startY = 325 COMBAT_TEXT_LOCATIONS.endY = 525 end end hooksecurefunc("CombatText_UpdateDisplayedMessages", UpdateDisplayMessages) This did NOT work still. I believe I have followed your directions perfectly. |
local myfont = "Interface\\Addons\\rCombatText\\impact.ttf"
Wild guess. Did you spell the font name correctly. Impact instead of impact? :confused: |

EDIT: It seems when I downloaded this addon this only affected my scrolling combat text, not my damage text above enemies heads. The scrolling combat text became very hard to read and very small. |
God, gmarco you are so dense

EDIT: None of those options change damage above the head, just like I said before. There's nothing more to explain really as I just applied the text to all. My options look just like your options you posted in the screen shot. Altering any of those does not change ANYTHING related to my above the target damage. |
Just a reminder that you need to have WoW closed before, or fully restart it after, adding any files to the directory.
And, Ketho, that wasn't very nice. :p |

So if I understand well ... beyond the fact elvui make things not working an addon like anyfont or a simple line like this: Lua Code:
will suffice. But a question. I have probably a confused idea about the 2 fonts... thinking they are related to the same thing, the damages that appears on enemy targets when you hit them. Am I miss something ? Thanks. |

Changing the "CombatText Font" option in ElvUI should affect both the font that appears over other players' heads and the font for Scrolling Combat Text for Self https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtNTIhYpZQ8 http://www.tukui.org/git/?a=viewblob...core/fonts.lua Lua Code:

Sorry, it's just I felt ignored and frustrated, since I asked OP if he used ElvUI which he confirmed, while the others ignored my post |
I didn't know why you asked that. It would have been pertinent to add that to your post. ;)
|
Since you use ElvUI, I figured that a link to the way that they tell you how to do it would help. Maybe.

http://imgur.com/a/b4LVu Followed your instructions. This file was not able to be renamed the way you did it. It was already named the way you renamed it to in your video. It did not prompt a CMD, and therefore nothing after that worked. Like I said, very inexperienced. |
