Verbose Output - b38
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 2:31 pm
Ok, here is my first (and probably only!) addon: Verbose Output.
It displays LOTS of information on screen, that normally goes in the log file.
I created it for myself, to help me understand the game better, particularly the effects of armour, defense, saving throws.
It outputs chance to hit whenever a melee OR a temporary effect calls this function. This helps you see the chance you and NPCs have of hitting, been hit, and avoiding or getting a temporary effect.
It outputs the same data from the log regarding melee, namely raw damage, after armour, after range, after multipliers, after crit hits.
It outputs how the final damage from melee (and other sources) then is modified (or not) by resistances, stunned, numbing poison etc.
Warning: it is called VERBOSE and it really is verbose, adding tons of lines to your screen if you have lots of onhits and Frenzy for instance! or a screen full of critters.
It overloads Combat.lua, Actor.lua, and damage_types.lua, so it may not be compatible with other addons that do this also.
Remove the .txt and drop into the addons folder
