    Active Skills alert not showing

    Status: Game Bug (Cant fix)
    Dear Developer,

    Im a warrior on Executus realm and Ive been using your mods for a while now. For me, the active skills alert is not showing properly in SCT 5.

    A mob dodges my attack and if I am in battle stance, I will see the OVERPOWER alert, but if i am in defensive or berserk stance, the alert never comes.

    Please let me know if the problem is on my comp./interface or it is a known bug.

    regards,

    Stiggy

    This is a problem with the new combat text events WoW provides. Since SCT is using those events, you'll have to wait till Blizzard fixes it. In the mean time on the next SCT release I'll probably be putting back in the custom event by default.

    I think SCT makes stance check before showing message. If im not in battle stance i dont see overpower alert if my normal attack is dodged. But if my ability was dodged in any stance i see yellow owerpower message though i have default grey color for this type of messages. Also i dont get revenge warning if im not in defensive stance. But in defensive stance i was spammed by these warnings since im a tank. Is there any way to remove revenge warning? I couldnt find it in sct_event_config.lua
    Also esecute warning works great - it checks if i have enough rage and if mob's health is under 20%. I'd like to add mortal combat "Finish him" sound to this event but i cant find place where this event is discribed - its not in sct_event_config.lua

    I was able to clean out the excessive Extra Attacks warnings by remming out the line in the sct.lua, and i toiled for days over the way all the abilities were announcing under active skills, at first i thought gray got a bout of the lazies and just put in some kinda halfass reactionary ability announcer (floating combat text hi) and then I realized that blizzard's stuff was basically interfering with sct. So yeah, you can get rid of the extra attacks, but you'll just have to deal with the way overpower announces and the spamming of execute on your screen, or just turn off active and live on custom events, the only thing you lose really is the execute announcer.

    The custom Overpower event doesnt work with 5.0 but work with 4.1, why? Personnally I think the problem is with SCT 5.0 if 4.1 doesnt have issues with it.

    The custom events ARE working for me. However, the Active Skills are also showing overpower. Meaning if I'm in battle stance, I get a double spam of Overpower!. But if i disable the custom event of Overpower, then the active skills Overpower! won't show if I am in defensive/Zerker stance. Is there a way to customize what Active Skills will show? Or will I have to wait a bit for Blizz to fix their thing >.<

    I'm using the latest 5.01 version of SCT.
