Floating Combat Text

It appears that all Floating Combat Text addons are broken because of the changes.

Could we please allow the use of Floating Combat Text addons or increase customization in the base game?

Currently, the numbers are small - they are behind the nameplates so you can’t see them anyway - and there are a billion numbers… Which makes them pointless to use if you can’t even see the numbers.

What I love the most from the FCT addons is being able to combine instances of damage. For instance, if I divine storm a group of mobs it shows me just 1 instance of damage (the total damage done by Divine Storm). I also love to turn off non-crits so that ONLY crits show… There are so many instances of damage that you see tons of numbers anyway… a long with the million other features of course like scaling, positioning, font and coloring.

It seems like something that should be allowed

Combat text was probably giving too much information through combat communication, so that’s most likely why it was blocked in the API.

But the base UI absolutely needs more options. It’s insane how little control we have over it.

You can change the size using /run SetCVar("WorldTextScale_v2", X) although they’ll still pop behind the nameplates.
