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!

Doesn't seem to work. Combat text isn't shown, can't access in game menu but addon is enabled (and out of date is forced).
I've added a Racial tab for Racial spells.
plus i've adde some spells from BFA etc.
But i don't really know how to push it to you so you may be able to get it in release ?
Code is kinda not really clean since i had some trouble understanding it :)
Is there a classic version in the works? I really don't want to use Miks..

I'd second that
I've been stuck on an issue for the last two hours. I did a fresh install for 4.4.9(8.0.1) and when I login and type /xct I'm getting a blank screen. I have all addons disabled except for buggrabber and I also downloaded ace 3.0 due to the grabber reports. I've tried googling my issue but I haven't had any luck. I also went and tried to manually turn off read-only to the folders and sub folders, but that didn't help. I've also deleted and extracted the folder several times. Here are some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/iQfaYG6
Here is what I grabbed from buggrabber:

Hi, the incoming healing is delayed by a couple of seconds. which basically makes that function not usable for me. anyone know how to fix that? is it bugged in the current patch 8.2 version? i looked through the all the settings and cant find anything relevant to that. otherwise awesome addon, everything else works perfectly.
In reply to FluflPuffl:
You will want to look under "Spam Merger", it has settings for grouping incoming heals/dispels/etc... Disabling it for heals should show you every heal that comes in as it comes in.
Is there a way to make the asterisk on critical strike show up when you merge with outgoing?
I'm trying to get player names to display in the incoming damage and outgoing/outgoing crits windows, but I can't seem to get it to turn on. Please help!
Propably a bit stupid question, but how do you disable combo points? :D
Is there a way to change scroll animation in the addon? Currently the way the damage numbers just subtly appear on screen is kind of disorienting. i prefer when theres some associated animation, scrolling of text, criticals popping on screen and sticking for a moment before fading
Is it possible to mimic the curved scrolling behavior of msbt with this addon?
Can we disable the icon for auto attack?
Greeting. Im trying to modify xCT to display some stuff the way it feels better if its possible to
1) full amount of missType (atm its TODO comment on that line in combattext.lua).
for ["DamageIncoming"] = function (args) what sub events of combat log do you track? is it _DAMAGE only?
Thinking of _MISSED event with missType to display full amount of it
2) autoattack icon uses current equipped weapon icon as default. Wanted to change it to https://www.wowhead.com/spell=88163/attack
guessing else message = x:GetSpellTextureFormatted(88163 .. at like 1513 but it doesnt work
3) incoming damage missType format is too long. Wanted to change it from %d (%d Absorbed) to %d (A:%d)(R:%d)
Any way to add animations when the text pops up like msbt? I don't use msbt because I don't like having my spells merged.
In reply to twidgeprime:
Is there a way to disallow it from interacting with mouse commands? I have it off to the side but when i mouseover it and scroll (for map zoom), it always pops up and shows me the history.
Is there a way to turn that function off?
hi, im having trouble on the healing incoming... its takes at leaast 4 to 7 second to show.. is there anyway to correct that? i want to get this information as quick as the damage taken thats instant. been looking around but couldnt do it.
Can i make the output move outwards from where it appears without it getting "pushed" by newer spells? I want the text to appear at the top and always disappear at the bottom no matter how many spells I use, like an animation. I know MSBT has this function by default and even the default combat text does this but I can't find the option to do this in this addon. Thanks.
Hi there sir, I have a quick question about your addon, first time user here, and I was wondering if there was any possible way to make the outgoing combat damage pop up quicker on the right side of the screen?
