BlizzardCombatText

Today I played around a little with the default combat text.

I had pretty good results with:

LoadAddOn("Blizzard_CombatText")
 
DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT = "Fonts\\DAMAGE.ttf"
 
SystemFont_Shadow_Huge3:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, 16, "OUTLINE")
SystemFont_Shadow_Huge3:SetShadowOffset(1,-1)
SystemFont_Shadow_Huge3:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0.6)
 
COMBAT_TEXT_HEIGHT = 16
COMBAT_TEXT_CRIT_MAXHEIGHT = 24
COMBAT_TEXT_CRIT_MINHEIGHT = 16
COMBAT_TEXT_SCROLLSPEED = 3
 
hooksecurefunc("CombatText_UpdateDisplayedMessages", function() 
  if COMBAT_TEXT_FLOAT_MODE == "1" then
    COMBAT_TEXT_LOCATIONS.startY = 484
    COMBAT_TEXT_LOCATIONS.endY = 709
  end
end)

The combat text is using "SetTextHeight" which is causing distortion. But if you keep the font small it is actually not that bad.

I would not force the addon to load. Just make your addon LoD and use "LoadsWith: Blizzard_CombatText" in the TOC, or register for "ADDON_LOADED" and look for Blizzard_CombatText.

Loadswith sounds nice. Thanks, will try that.

Tested. Does not work.

So either I keep it that way or add a LoadAddon handler. Which I do not need because I use the Blizzard CombatText.

It's "LoadWith" not "LoadsWith".

Ok will try again.

You might need to set this too:

## LoadOnDemand: 1
