CoolFloat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1d
by: Alestane [More]

CoolFloat is for people who like the stock Floating Combat Text included with WoW, but would like to be advised when their spells and items are off cooldown and ready to be used.

CoolFloat currently places function, low resources and ease of authorship above versatile GUIs. See the comments for known issues and fixes. In particular, several fine-tuning settings have no UI for editing yet. A read-me file is included with guidelines on finding and editing these settings.

CoolFloat also includes a more efficient reimplementation of the Blizzard Floating Combat Text. It should be consistent with the existing code except for CPU time, but you can disable it by removing the Blizzard_CombatText files from the CoolFloat folder.
The reimplementation is currently disabled by default as it suffers from what appears to be a bug in 4.0.1 that disables it currently. I will look into correcting this shortly.

* 1.1c: Made CoolFloat more localization-friendly
* 1.1b: Resolved 'Attempt to call global "GetFrameRate" (a nil value)' bug
* 1.1: Attempted to remove bug whereby CoolFloat would occasionally stop working until reload.

At the moment, I'm guessing this has something to do with an interaction with another add-on you might be using, since the call isn't passing through CoolFloat's code to get to the error as far as I can tell from what you posted. Try disabling any other add-ons you might be running.

CoolFloat is supposed to be localization-friendly, but apparently I didn't do a very good job of that the first time around. Try the latest version and see if it produces better results.

Hmm, I've been using a version without this error for months, but apparently I fixed it after the upload. As soon as the new upload is approved this should be fixed.

Yes, because everything else keeps appearing in the floating combat text fine (and it doesn't actually sue the combat log per se). I've identified how it happens, if not the actual reason, and the current version should be resistant or immune to it.

Are you sure it's not just the game's bug where Combat Log stops responding completely? That eliminates all the buffs/debuffs/spells/stuff to be seen.

I hope you keep updating it, a quick two questions. is there anyway to change the color of the float? maybe make it more blueish if thats possible. another question is, something odd is happening to me. I keep playing, joining BGs and after few mins, it stops from working and I have to relog for it to work, I think this is a result for it needing an update? I can't be sure tho. thanks
I've released an update that I hope will fix the issue where it stops working. Since it stopped fairly randomly I can't be 100% sure, but I think it should be better.

As far as the color, it is possible. A readme file is included with the add-on that should explain how to go about it.
