ClassicFCT
Highly customizable "Floating Combat Text" addon with text anti-overlap behavior similiar to that of WoW Classic.
Use "/cfct" command to open the options interface.
Currently there are 2 configuration presets built-in: "Classic" and "Mists of Pandaria".
Users can create their own presets.
Text display area can be positioned in 3 ways:
- to screen center (with x, y offsets)
- to the target nameplate
- to every individual nameplate (anti-overlap doesnt work in this mode courtesy of Blizzard)
If no nameplate is available (in case the target dies or moves off-screen), text display area can fall back to screen center.
Text can be displayed behind or in front of nameplates and their children.
Animations:
- Fade In, Fade Out
- Directional Scroll
- Pow (a 2 stage scale animation for crits)
Configurable variables include:
- animation timing, scale and duration.
- text font, style, size, custom color or by damage type.
- spell icons for each damage/heal event.
- event filtering, sorting and merging

Hey there I'm having an issue when saving a profile:
The "Hide Blizzard Damage" checkbox always resets upon relogging
Thank you.

Classic or Retail? Also try it without other addons loaded and report back.
In reply to TeHypno:
Hey it's on retail. I found a shabby fix by making a /console macro to turn off blizzard combat text, just something I click everytime i login so it's fine. But per your recommendations; I'm sure it's some other addon doing it, perhaps GW2UI or something
EDIT: just tested it, it is indeed GW2 UI! Thanks for the tip!
Hi I'd like to use this for WoW Classic (not Retail) because the text appears over custom nameplates, however yellow (special) damage does not appear at all. Would appreciate help with this if possible.
In reply to incontrovertible:
I uploaded a classic version of the addon that may work for you.
I'm having an issue where damage that causes a killing blow doesn't appear. I thought I saw another post about it but couldn't find it.
In reply to sokipdx:
if the nameplate disappears, when "Attachment Fallback" isnt enabled in options, the damage text will disappear as well.
In reply to TeHypno:
That makes sense, thank you! Fixed the problem for me.
Siiick Addon :)
Hey, first off: Great god damn work you did here. It's awesome. I've been searching this, since they changed the combat text on retail and only noticed how much I missed it with Classic's release. Now, I only have a little issue: I want to change the FONT to the "NiceDamage"-AddOn-font. I'm also playing with ElvUI, now my question is, do I have to search for a way to change the font in your Addon, or do I need to exchange the files in the ElvUI config? And if it's the first option, could you give me instructions on how to do it? Again, I'm having way too much fun with your addon right now, thank you very much! And have a great day and Happy New Year!

Install ShareMediaAdditionalFonts and edit the lua file there to adds your own font. It might have your font by default, I havent checked.
Hi, first of all, this addon is great, i love it, really good work!
I have to report you 2 problems i found.
1)with heals enabled i cannot see them...but i read below thats only when you are not in raid or in group, but i not really tested it.
2) vehicles damage are not visible or something doesen't work properly...i noticed that on the cannons in the flying ship boss in icecrown citadel
And last thing a little request.... if it possible to add more custom fonts like the popular one used in the addon "nice damage" or just make a way to add ourself our fonts, that would be reaaly great!!
In reply to zan_tetsuken:
I havent yet been able to reproduce the healing thing myself. Ill check the vehicle damage. For the font, install ShareMediaAdditionalFonts and edit the lua file there to add your own font.
In reply to TeHypno:
cool thanks!
In reply to zan_tetsuken:
I think healing doesnt show up in instances because blizzard doesnt allow friendly nameplate modifications in instances for whatever genius reason.
Vehicle damage shows up for vehicles in wintergrasp. Also a lot of vehicle damage is just pet damage internally so make sure pet damage is enabled.
I just tried some nameplate addon and it doesnt work on friendly nameplates in instances. Kinda dumb if you ask me.
In reply to TeHypno:
thanks for the reply!
Probably the cannons in icc are some different stuff, because pet damage usually are kinda orange but that damage in those are yellow...
No problem mate, Blizzard messed up like always, as for the healing thing...
I have one problem with this addon. Everything works fine instead showing healing text in a dungeon group. Nameplates are shown, dmg text works, but I cant see heal text, only if I'm in a raid group, eg random battleground, or when I'm in no group. Is there any special settings for dungeon groups? The blizzard heal text works.
I keep gettin this error, just installed the addon .
