Shadowlands Players!
Please note that I'm not an active player and if you don't report issues they won't be fixed.
I hope you all are having fun in the Shadowlands!
Created for optimal performance in the toughest fights, a rugged combat text add-on is finally ready to be put to the test!
OVERVIEW
xCT+ is immensely based off the add-on xCT by braindump (aka Affli). It strives to be as minimalistic as possible while maintaining ease of use. That is why, introduced in version 3, you can now configure all settings while in-game.
Overall, xCT+ is a replacement for Blizzard’s scrolling combat text. It is superior to the default combat text because xCT+ organizes incoming healing, incoming damage, and outgoing damage/healing into their own frames, while minimizing spam.
FEATURES
For those that have used Affli’s xCT Add-On, xCT+ expands the functionality of its predecessor. New features include:
- An In-Game Configuration Tool
- Frames for tracking Criticals, Loot and Money, Spell Procs, Unit Power (Mana), and Class Combo Points
- A grid when positioning the frames
- Tons of new options and features
- A redesigned Spell Merger for those Spammy Spells
- Setting Profiles
- And many more exciting new features!
SUPPORT
Feel free to use the comments below for quick and dirty questions. If you think that you have a question that is more involved, you should create a ticket on my github page:

Good day. Is it possible to merge whole damage (multiple hits at once) in one message? Especially crits because separating crits-general dmg in two columns confusing.
Love the addon, would you be able to add the option to merge black powder and shuriken storm for Sub Rogue? Also would be nice to merge Fury warrior main hand/off hand attacks for fury warrior, especially Rampage doesn't seem to work well since it hits 4 times - would be great to have them appear as 1 number for total damage done. Thanks!
Would it be possible to add the covenant spell Adaptive Swarm to the spell merging? This gets very spammy when there are multiple swarms floating around.
If it helps:
Adaptive Swarm hot spell id = 325748
Adaptive Swarm dot spell id = 325733
Is there a way to make this LOAD, Only when im in COMBAT?
How do i change the "Floating Combat Scrolling Text - FONT?"
is there a version of this that works for TBC classic?
Hey, everything worked really nicely for a long time, then all of a sudden I've been getting this error every time i'm in a dungeon. My knowledge about how addons work is pretty limited, so I have no idea what the error actually is (and don't know if it's a xCT+ error or Skillet error):

In reply to CyricPoL:
Very weird. Looks like you got healed by something that didn't have a name. Which dungeon was it?
In reply to tDandruff:
Tbh, I don't really remeber... Hasn't happened in a few runs now... I'll keep an eye out if it happens again and write down more details about the circumstances... Sorry I wasn't more helpful.
Im having the same issue as Sazakuni, the incoming healing doesnt have an icon next to it. Also, i cleared the prefix and postfix but it still shows a large - on the top of the string code at the start as a prefix.
Lastly i was wondering if it would be possible to discriminate between regrowth initial heal and its hot? As in i would like the initial heal to never merge, but the HoT it leaves behind im perfectly fine with. This will probably be the same for riptide on a shaman and maybe on another class aswell.
P.S. Ill update this post with new things i find in the coming days, but so far this is already so much nicer and better than msbt :)
In reply to FreddyFishGirl:
This is going to get fixed in the next version. I could create something like that, but right now, I'm just adding it as a feature request (because its a really useful idea).
In reply to FreddyFishGirl:
Oops, forgot to also mention, if you have Spam Merger -> Merge Healing by Name enabled, xCT+ will only show invisible icons to help keep text aligned. This is because I currently throw away the spell id in that scenario. If you turn that off, you will see icons, but no more merging. I can add another feature request to maybe show the first or last spell as an Icon or maybe the spell that did the most healing as an icon.
I'm getting this chain of errors on characters that I've never set up xCT+ on before (and can't set it up because of the errors):
This one starts in whatever Ace3 addon loaded the lib first:
1x xCT+\core.lua:336: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
[string "@xCT+\core.lua"]:336: in function `CompatibilityLogic'
[string "@xCT+\core.lua"]:116: in function <xCT+\core.lua:89>
[string "=[C]"]: ?

Then:
1x xCT+\modules\frames.lua:192: bad argument #1 to 'ssub' (string expected, got nil)
[string "=[C]"]: ?
[string "@xCT+\modules\frames.lua"]:192: in function `UpdateFrames'
[string "@xCT+\core.lua"]:155: in function <xCT+\core.lua:153>
Locals:

(*temporary) = 2
(*temporary) = "string expected, got nil"
Finally:
171x xCT+\modules\frames.lua:420: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'alpha' (a nil value)
[string "@xCT+\modules\frames.lua"]:420: in function <xCT+\modules\frames.lua:417>
Locals:

alpha = nil
scale = nil
(and lots more variables)
In reply to GraysonCarlyle:
did you fix this? I have the same problem and i dont want to resett whole profile
In reply to watsoon19:
I think I know the problem. I will include a fix which should be out very soon (next few minutes).
I have an issue
Icons of healing are not showing, and they are activated, I tried activating and deactivating, or reload the addon, but nothing works.
In reply to sazakuni:
I am fixing a bug with healing icons, but what you are probably looking for is to disable Spam Merge -> Merge Healing by Name. When I merge healing events together, I throw away the spell id/icon.
Hi there, love your add on quite a lot. So, I have the most recent version downloaded and it seems to work great; however, anytime I /reloadui it will reset how I have my incoming/outgoing/general damage and healing, this also occurs every time i login to the game, having to reset the positions of basically everything. I have tried removing and re-downloading along with downloading a previous version and no fix. Can you think of anything im doing wrong to fix this? Thank you!
In reply to Nestllelol:
same here
In reply to 7necromancer:
4.5.7 will fix this issue. Thank you for the report!
