Any combat text mods work atm?

[Tharkkun]

I know sct is broken. Are there any good replacements that are functional?

Thanks

For MSBT you have to go into the lua and add:
local function ParseLogMessage(timestamp, event, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, recipientGUID, recipientName, recipientFlags, ...)
to make it work, I would imagine its the same for all SCT's.

[Tharkkun]

Thanks I'll check that out.

For us laid back folk, could you provide a little more detail how/where exactly this is done? Thanks :P

On all three lines, insert a "hideCaster" between "event" and "sourceGUID". Make sure to get the commas right. So this:

event, sourceGUID,

becomes this:

event, hideCaster, sourceGUID,

---

MSBTCooldowns.lua
CLEU event handler
line 246

MSBTParser.lua
ParseLogMessage
line 344

MSBTTriggers.lua
HandleCombatLogTriggers
line 698

Yeah, ended up going through the .lua files 1 by 1 and looking up ParseLogMessage, got it though, thanks.

Imho best solution was to add a forwards compatible fix for 4.1.0 though, then it's way easier for users to switch to a new patch before patch day

anyway it's a shame that mikord isn't active

[Godshot]

can anyone explain where to put these? i go into MKSBT - And see MikSBT.lua is this where i find the spot to fix all these?
then when i go in its just a huge list of stuff -.-

[Taryble]

Godshot, Tatsu's message includes which files you need to open to make the changes, and also which LINES in each file needs to be changed.

I suggest using a text editor addon that includes visible line numbering - Notepad++, PSPad, etc - to make this easier to find.

To recap, these are the files and lines

MSBTCooldowns.lua - line 246
MSBTParser.lua - line 344
MSBTTriggers.lua - line 698

[Harsesis]

Most have been updated.

[Tharkkun]

SCT hasn't updated to my knowledge. MSBT has a 3rd party update but I did the 3 edits instead and have changed to a MSBT user. Thanks guys!

[Jimusmc]

MSBT is ok.. but i like SCT better, suppose i'll just have to wait, unless someone has a fan update that fixes SCT

[lawomous]

SCT had a fan update posted right after the patch. It works good.
