[HowTo] Change SCTD to show party damage as well.

[The IT Monkey]

Hey All,
Did a bit of research today and noticed that SCTD has been updated for 2.4. So I did a little more digging and found what has to be changed to show the entire parties damage.

In the sctd.lua line 50 reads like this:

local COMBATLOG_FILTER_MINE = COMBATLOG_FILTER_MINE

Change it to read like this:

local COMBATLOG_FILTER_MINE = bit.bor (
					COMBATLOG_OBJECT_AFFILIATION_PARTY,
					COMBATLOG_OBJECT_AFFILIATION_MINE,
					COMBATLOG_OBJECT_REACTION_FRIENDLY,
					COMBATLOG_OBJECT_CONTROL_PLAYER,
					COMBATLOG_OBJECT_TYPE_PLAYER,
					COMBATLOG_OBJECT_TYPE_OBJECT
				);

COMBATLOG_FILTER_MINE is a WoW filter that usually only calls:
COMBATLOG_OBJECT_AFFILIATION_MINE,
COMBATLOG_OBJECT_REACTION_FRIENDLY,
COMBATLOG_OBJECT_CONTROL_PLAYER,
COMBATLOG_OBJECT_TYPE_PLAYER,
COMBATLOG_OBJECT_TYPE_OBJECT
I simply added
COMBATLOG_OBJECT_AFFILIATION_PARTY,
to the mix and it all went well.

I first tried just changing MINE to FRIENDLY_UNIT... but that was a DISASTER.

Hope you all enjoy.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to lua. Could you tell me what's the exact name of the folder I'm looking in to change this?

\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\SCTD\....

I seriously hope they fix parrot. The "throttling" feature where it combines all damage from a single skill type within a certain time window was AWESOME. Seeing a damage scroll that said "5293 - Fireball (2 hits, 2 crits)" was just too damned nifty.

Nice one IT Monkey - I will try and add an SCT page to the wiki and have this mentioned

Nice, I got the mod and changed the lua, have yet to see the mod in game though. Whats the / command to set it up? /sct or/sctd didn't work for me.

Are you sure you have the mods enabled? /sct should get you at the very least a help message. /sct menu should show you a message.

BTW u need to install SCT too, dl here http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info3965.html because SCTD is a "plug in", check on your add on list on character page if u missing something (like me :P )

I do the change in .lua and it work great for me, thanks for this

Not a problem.. it was my pleasure. I looked at MSBT today as it has been partially updated for 2.4. It is supposed to do the throttling thing like parrot. I dug around in it for a couple hours but no matter what I did to it I couldn't get it to register party events. It will take someone a little more deft in hacking lua than me to get it to work.

Thanks for this tip. Worked right away for me

But I have one problem if there is someone that could help me. My warlocks is SL specced, and when they get hit, the damage transfered to the pet is registered, and this gets *very* spammy. Anyone know is there is someway to ignore the damage mitigated through Soul Link?
