All, I'm sorry but I have tried everything and cannot reproduce this error. If one of you knows LUA and wants help to me track it down, please PM me. Otherwise, for now you are just going to have to live with the SCTD default font size and hope Blizzard fixes whatever the problem is. An addon should never be able to crash wow, but since I cannot reproduce the error I have no way to determine what is actually causing the problem.
Just to add a little more weight to the problem I'm also have the crash out when I change the font size in SCTD. I'm sure your working on the problem so I'm looking forward to a new version / details on a fix etc.
I have a question about SCT. There is a an option for "Apply font to WOW damage". Ok sounds simple enough. But you can set a different font for Frame 1, Frame 2 and Message. So which font does it use? I ask because I'm trying to use this option to do what it says and alter to font and size of the WoW damage but it does not seem to be working for me? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I am not sure if this had been brought up before or not, but is there a way to make the text displayed by SCT crisper/sharper? I have use a variety of fonts, many of which are sharp for everything else regardless of size, but SCT displays them very low quality and jagged.
There is a problem with the way SCT handles its fonts.
SCT provides 4 or 5 fonts which it internally stores in the format "SCT_fontname". The fonts (Enigma, Emblem...) are no different from some other addons.
The problem is, when I choose a font for ClearFont2, which is provided by SCT as well, but with the "SCT_"-prefix then the setting gets lost when SCT isn't loaded. But the font could have been loaded by another addon.
If I choose "Emblem" and SCT gets loaded after ClearFont2 then SCT renames the Emblem-Font to SCT_Emblem and is doesn't work as well.
I changed the "SCT_fontname"-strings to just "fontname" in the localisation-files from SCT on my local copy and the problem seems to be gone. I would have uploaded the changes myself, but I got a no-no from the server...
Tjista, that is other people taking SCT fonts, renaming them, and using them. I'm not going to change my font names because someone took them and changed them =) Just don't turn off SCT!

Would it be possible to route healing from the Shadoweave set bonus through "Your Heals" instead of "Spell Heals"? It's a lot of spam and I know I for one would like to turn it off (without losing sight of heals being performed on me by others).
Tjista, no it means SCT has been using those fonts for a very long time, before Shared Media existed. People took the fonts and added them to their projects and it wasn't an issue until they started adding them to Shared Media differently than the way SCT did. If you had been able to commit the change you wanted, every user of SCT would have had their fonts set to defaults...
Arkive, the best way to do that is with a custom event or using the healing filters. Look at the examples of "Spam Stoppers" in sct_event_config.lua to see how to do it with custom events.

Worked perfectly, ty. Very nicely documented LUA files by the way :)

Okay, I didn't thought about that. But just leaving it as it is can't be the solution, can it?
Why not make the changes and add a few lines of code to sct that change the fontsettings "SCT_XXX" to "XXX" if the user had one of these chosen as his font.
Or is it possible in any way to register one font twice under different names? That would solve it for other addons as well.

If none of the above solutions work: How much resources, if any, would SCT use on a typical Auctionhouse-Twink? I just don't like to load more AddOns than necessary. Especially not only as a workaround...
Don't get me wrong. I heart SCT. It's just this thing that's bugging me... :)
The new SCT adds an icon to each and every spell/buff that is cast and received by the player. It's REALLY spammy, and very annoying (and distracting). Is there an option to turn it off that I'm missing on the SCT Menu?
I have one eye to see with, and having distractions like that get really aggravating at times. :)
I've got a problem with SCT. It doesn't display the damage school colors on the scrolling text, and lots of icons are missing or wrong (e.g. Shiv and Windfury don't have an icon, and the damage from the Magma totem shows with the Stoneclaw icon, to name a few). I'm playing with the spanish version (if I change the language to english it runs perfectly), so that's got to be the problem.
I remember that in some previous version the damage colors showed fine with the spanish language, but it's gone all wrong since the version which included icons, I think.
I like the colors and I like the icons, so... what can I do to fix it? I've looked into the files a little, but I get lost easily without pointers (I'm no programmer!), so I haven't got a clue on what to do.
Thanks in advance, mr. Grayhoof, I love this addon :)
My current plans for SCT are to release a new version that only fixes issues with the 2.3+ patch. After that I am not sure what its future will be. I basically have 3 options I am considering taking with it:
1) Continue to simply maintain it with its current code base and patches are released
2) Wait for patch 2.4 with the combat log events, wait for Ace 3 release, and then write a totally new SCT2.
3) Stop development completely and "pass the torch" on to MSBT.
Option 1 I really probably won't be doing; too much legacy code. Option 2 I will only do if my play time in WoW picks back up again and I have the enthusiasm to do a complete rewrite (which I currently do). Option 3 would mainly be if I stop playing WoW all together.

If abandoned i will reallty miss the "show all powergains" option that still keeps me using SCT...
I dont know if this has been addressed, i did a few searches, and came up with nothing. So here goes. I am using SCT/D along with sharedmedia. I am trying to get SCT to show my custom font, but apparently the list is too big, and my font is towards the top, and i cannot scroll through the list at all. This is in the /sct menu-> frames-> font, of course. All other addons i can choose the font, but SCT wont let me scroll through the list, the most i can do is drag the menu down with the list open, but even then it doesnt bring my font on screen.

You mean you created the fonts?
