Thanks again.

I'd offer to help but I'm terrible at coding. I can recognize most of what's going on in the code and can modify it a little but am utterly useless for creating new code. For example: I cannot figure out how to modify the line 'generator' loop to include the word "(CRIT)" or "(DEV)" after the attack name in addition to the different colors for easy ID of the attack quality.

Update: My current flavor of the plugin no longer shows regular hit damage but still displays crits and devs in larger font and at half speed (I understand the pointlessness of both being half speed when they're the only things showing :P). Power is no longer tracked. I also increased the maximum values for margins to 500 all around.

To Author: I'd like permission to redistribute altered versions to people who ask for it.

Hi,
Iam on french client, and the plugin doesn't work for me. I dont get any error, and i can run the plugin and enter into options, but i cant get any effect in the game.

Can someone help me if they know the problem or know what to do? I allready tried to delete plugindata.

Thx.

i will check the issue with french client soon. in current version is also a (small) bug, so i will patch it next days.

Update: i found the reason: there is no localized french parser yet
i use the parsers from combatanalysis, there's the same.
my french is poor but i could fix it (in V 0.3.1) at least to show SOME values, heal etc. dont work yet. if any one fixes the parser_fr.lua in locale directory would be nice

Hmm, can't seem to get the options to work. The options tab at character screen is inactive and the command /sct options does nothing. Any idea what I can do?
I've tried versions 0.3.0 and 0.3.1.
I have english lotro installed on Win7 x64 eng.

The Options tab on the Plugin Manager is not available until the plugin is actually loaded, so it is not available when accessing the Plugin Manager from the Character Selection screen. Instead, load a character and open the Plugin Manager from the System Menu. You have to use the mouse to hover over the System Menu, not opening it using the 'Esc' key since the Plugin Manager doesn't show in the System Dialog. If the author has provided an option panel that is accessible from the Plugin Manager the tab will now be available.

It worked! Thx man.

Is it possible to add icons to the floating messages that sct posts.
For example I cast Blade of Elendil and is does 1k damage that the message
look like this <spell icon> 1000 or <spell icon> Blade of Elendil 1000.


It woud be nice if the font size of messages from critical spells were greater
than the other messages.

Mirendir

No sorry, there is no way to get access to the spell icons at the moment.
maybe Turbine adds this feature in future.

I will add more text options in future versions.

Thanks for the great plugin

I noticed it does not show parry/block/evade or misses though.

If theres an option to turn this on please let me know. If not perhaps this could be implemented in a future version?

Mirendir

@zigzagzig no, currently these events are not shown. these is planned for future releases.

Cool, i noticed you were looking for help with french parser or something. I could help with translations to and from french if that's what you need.

I believe this occurred just as I was disabled/died ...

...he Rings Online\Plugins\ScrollingCombatText\Main.lua:492: attempt to compare number with nil

Was followed immediately by:
You cannot do that right now.
The Ox-clan Captain incapacitated you.

Combat log had (all 3 filters selected):
The Ox-clan Captain scored a hit with Light Injury on Val for 20 Common damage to Morale.
The Ox-clan Captain incapacitated you.
The Ox-clan Captain scored a devastating hit with a weak melee attack on Val for 412 Common damage to Morale.
You succumb to your wounds.

I've been playing with Scroling Combat text for a while now an have only one problem with it.... It won't stop!!!

There needs to be an easy way to shut it down -- when you forget you have it loaded and wind up in some large battle it simply can't keep up with the action.
It takes about 5 minutes for the scrolling to stop after the Wulf's Cleft instance, for example.

You can't unload it because you have not defined the "apartment" obviously.

/plugins unload ScrollingCombatText
"Plugin script state "ScrollingCombatText" could not be unloaded."

is the error you get.

The end result is you have to unload all plugins, mark Scrolling Combat Text to NOT load, and then reload your desired plugins.

Mirendir

I am currently testing with the RoR Beta and will release a bugfixed version when RoR is released.
By the way: it displays all combat log entries that are not shown yet. So if you have a slow scrolling speed and you are in a heavy and long combat this could need some mins even fight is over. But i will add a limit for this in future to stop events when combat ends.

Cool plugin. :-)

I don't know if SetStretchMode() was available when you originally wrote this, but now you can use it to zoom smoothly.
