Carturs Combat Text
WoW-style floating combat text on enemies: retail fling on ordinary hits, a fast crit pop on backstabs, staggers, weak spots and outsized hits, in a Friz-like font.Cartur's Combat Text
World of Warcraft style combat text for Valheim, timed against retail WoW footage frame by frame. Numbers on trees, ore, buildings, crafting and pickups are untouched - this only changes what you see over a creature you just hit.
- Ordinary hits fling off to one side in a short arc and are gone in about half a second, like retail WoW.
- Crits pop: they snap to a big peak and are back to size within about 0.14s, then sit on the creature for about a second and a half. A crit is a backstab, a stagger, an elemental weakness hit, or a hit at least twice your recent average against that kind of enemy.
- Enemy hit numbers are 2x vanilla size, crits 3x.
- Colours are the game's own.
- Numbers are drawn in Federo, the closest free match to WoW's damage font. Set
General / Fontto empty for the game's font, or to any loaded font name or a .ttf/.otf in the mod'sfontsfolder. - Readable from further away - raised from vanilla's own text-visibility distance so a bow shot from range still shows a number.
Healing and block text are exactly what vanilla already drew.
