ClassicFCT 
Highly customisable "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

Yo is there any way to make it behave EXACTLY like the default blizzard combat text just and just have it in front of nameplates? All the config ive done i can't get it behavign exactly like the norm blizzard combat text? cheers
In reply to Chaddy____:
ill look into it later today
In reply to Chaddy____:
Which default do you have in mind? shadowlands or classic? If you mean classic then the classic preset is the best that is possible with the current API limitations.
If you mean shadowlands combat text, then some of its animation features cannot be replicated in an addon (like the directional numbers). On top of that, addon text can only be attached to a nameplate, when the nameplate disappears its no longer possible to display any text over the correct target. As far as I know it also isn't possible to modify the default blizzard text to appear in front of nameplates.
TLDR: Making it behave EXACTLY like the default blizzard combat text isn't possible due to addon API limitations set by Blizzard.

I'm playing version 2.5.4.4.x I have never been able to get CFCT to actually display anything. I have tried disabling ALL other addons without success. Any suggestions? I"m at a loss.

Do you get any errors? You can get BugGrabber and Bugsack to help you find any errors.
Does /cfct open a config UI?
If yes then, Is "Enable ClassicFCT" option at the top checked?
Maybe you could send me your config located at "World of Warcraft\_classic_\WTF\Account\<account_id>\SavedVariables\ClassicFCT.lua" and I'll try my best to help.
Im playing classic version 1.14.2
Im not seeing any spell-icons with M0.87b for warriors.
Whirlwind, rend, heroic strike etc, icons only showing for autoattacks.
In reply to norrlandsdjup:
I applied a quick fix for that, hopefully it works for you.
Certain spell icons seem to have disappeared from the addon. In my case Rupture, Phial of Putrefaction, and Tormented Rack Fragment do not put their icon on the text anymore.
In reply to Old_Tomatoes:
version of the game please
edit: This might be because I added separate dot settings. You might want to check those out.
I just came here to say THANK GOD FOR YOUR ADDON. I was really struggling to find a good damage text that doesnt hide behind the nameplates I use and that doesnt just disappear after you kill something and your addon really helped me thanks a lot!!! EDIT: im wondering if theres a way to reduce the radius which the numbers appear? cause when I use a skill that doest a lot of hits for example DH laser it fills my screen with numbers
Idk why I'm not able to configure I must have the wrong combination of cvars and options setup

If you could be more specific I could help you out.
In reply to TeHypno:
My foreword, thank you TeHypno - I'm not sure if attaching images does actually work in the comments (I've tried, didn't seem to work) threads here on Curse, albeit, would be helpful. In search of scrolling combat text for healing on friendly nameplates and possibly HoT/DoT ticks but for a reason I'm not seeing text or icons;
I have no errors tried looking through my cvars to remind myself of any change I might've made to nameplates or scrolling text ... I'm not sure on this front. I have SCT disabled for self, all nameplates enabled, and I'd just like to see nameplate scrolling text if possible. Turning off Hide Blizzard healing does show text on the nameplate as desired but no spell iconography. ClassicFCT is enabled, Heals are enabled, and HoTs with icons are enabled crit and non-crit.
My only conclusion is that it seems through AdvancedInterfaceOptions cvar control I'm being overridden or the server doesn't save the proper configured options or as I'm not even able to view an offset of the nameplate floating text just to see if CFCT is firing events.
Downloaded the addon for classic, for the color coding, and it's almost exactly what I've been looking for. However, is it possible to separate my bleeds (Garrote, rupture) from my direct attacks, since they're both physical school? Been breaking my head trying to have bleeds show in red, while direct physical would show in yellow.
Thank you for the work you've made!
In reply to itorch100:
It wasn't possible, but now it is, enjoy.
In reply to TeHypno:
Thank you so much!
When I downloaded the addon my dots/debuffs no longer show up on the nameplates and when I turn off the addon my dots/debuffs and damage dont show up anymore how do I fix this? I want use the addon but I like having my information on my nameplates.
In reply to LevinVel:
If youre referring to icons this addon doesnt mess with those. As for damage text you may want to try changing the addon anchor type to "every nameplate" and see if you like that, although because of limitations set by blizzard, in this configuration damage text from one nameplate will overlap with damage text coming from other nameplates nearby.
How do I add new fonts like the pepsi damage font?
