FAQ
Q: Can you add healing?
A: Healing will not be included, friendly nameplates are protected in Dungeons and Raids and therefore it would not be possible (or easy) to make it happen.
Q: Will you add a filter to ignore certain abilities and spells?
A: One day, yes.
Classic Notes:
Nameplate Range: Restricted by Blizzard, sorry.
In the older versions of NSCT if crit happened and LibEasing.InQuad animation played icon was not displayed during this time. But now it is displayed. Also option to change icon position for off-target is gone. How do i change these parts?
I change stuff for myself (few changes to CLEU part, text positioning for verticalPath to separate hits/crits/misses etc), but not able to find icon part.
And it would be cool to have changes i make to be in addon settings, so i don't have to ignore addon updates in manager.
Edit: figured out how to change all these stuff as i wanted image. But still it would be nice to have this in settings GUI
bumped toc myself to get it working on classic tbc. as others have reported any damage dealt to an enemy that is dying disappears. ultimately not a huge problem.
however, the addon seems to be reporting misses when missing isnt possible. my character is over hit cap. it's not possible for him to miss the target i was hitting, but the addon was frequently reporting Miss. maybe it meant to report dodge/parry? as dodge/parry does still happen fairly frequently. I went the entire night without a singe miss to getting 1-2 misses every other mob the moment i enabled the addon back to getting no misses when i disabled it
last. maybe a different animation style will fix this, will needto play aroud with it more, but damage events that happen at the exact same time frequently overlap each other making the two damage events illegible. Damage like paladin seals or windfury attacks are examples of this. is there a way to have these events offset each other enough to not just end up as a blur?
edit: after playing with it a little more, the addon is certainly misreporting dodge/parry as miss. Dodges have a "whoosh" sound effect (miss maybe does as well0, but parry has a "ding" sound effect when it happens, and one of the "Misses" was definitely actually a parry

Heya,
I do not play enough classic/tbc to test this myself or debugg it. If you can provide more information/logs I might be able to take a look but it's not easy without actual data.
In reply to justw8:
ill do the best i can. ill be doing some raids shortly but if im not going as dps i probably wont be hit capped. ill get some wcl to you as soon as i can
In reply to XboxControllerTV:
I prefer the full combatlog file (not warcraftlogs) as that will show me better what events happen ingame; is there an easy way for me to test this with a low level character?
In reply to XboxControllerTV:
I have pushed a fix to the alpha version for Classic / TBC. let me know if that fixes it!
In reply to justw8:
sweet, ill give it a test. Yeah i wasnt sure if just the combat log would help. I know when it was confusing me I checked combat log and the combat log didnt seem to report miss/dodge/parry to me at all, but maybe I was looking in the wrong tab. Ill test itn and keep an eye on it
Was there a way to fix numbers disappearing when the mob dies? i tried the overkill option but its kinda imposing. If not its not a big deal
last, is there a way to offset damage events that happen simultaneously so they dont overlap? Like when windfury procs and multiple strikes happen on the same swing, or paladin seals

- No, the overkill option is the best alternative to still show something.

- Generally I feel this is part of the addons 'feel', there are some animations that scramble the direction of animation though. But I dont think this is a way to make damage numbers better visible, more to give you the feeling of what you are hitting.
I have this working for TBC Classic (I know you don't have a release for this version, but it's working). The only issue that I have is the same issue that other users are having - I can't see the final hit/execute.
Is there any plans to fix this? This is by far the best combat text available and I refuse to use anything else.
Thank you!
Edit - I copied the lua and various solutions from Git - currently using the overkill feature.
In reply to gjmcelroy7:
I have merged it all into the classic branch and there is also a BCC version up here!
Hey mpstark and justw8, nameplatesct is working for tbc from what i've tested, all i needed to do was change the .toc of the classic version to use the interface version for tbc ## Interface: 20501
After that Nameplate SCT is working fine!
In reply to Eltreum:
I will look into fully supporting tbc with the toc files soon(tm), quite busy atm! feel free to submit fixes to the github repo.
In reply to Eltreum:
This didn't work for me. How can i fix this?
In reply to BotCreon:
use the classic version for tbc and edit the .toc first line (interface) to ## Interface: 20501
Do not use the retail version
Same issue with Mad_Grim, cannot see the Executing Numbers (example: Dreadfire Vessel crits for 20K dmg, target has 10K hp, the target dies but there arent any numbers appearing). Could we also see spacing between the dmg numbers in the future? Its hard to see specific numbers when they are all overlapping (example: Eye Beam), when you Eye Beam 20 numbers stack on each other.
Not sure if intended, but if the damage kills your target, the Combat Text doesn't appear. For Example, If a targets hits execute range, and you touch of death, the SCT for "touch of death" wont be displayed. Any way to fix this? I would like to see how hard my executes hit real-time :)
In reply to Mad_Grimm:
Would also like to see this if it's possible. I assume there may be an issue because the nameplate goes away?
I have the damage received feature on and I wanted to adjust its Y axis to -400 but it stay at 0 no matter what I try. I reloaded, re-downloaded, reset setting as well as disabled other addons in order to find the problem but please let me know is there is anything I can do.
Everytime I untick the blizzard combat tick in the addon and then reload or just log off and on its always ticked again, pretty annoying

Their option menu doesn't save properly, pressing 'cancel' instead of 'Okay' should work xd
