Floating combat text, need help - Guild Wars Forums

fromagelatin8 · Mar 21, 2009, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Hello,

I watched this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOrwU...&feature=email

And I wonder: how did the guy managed to get the name of the spell/skill the ennemies are casting/using on him ?

For instance, when he enters the FoW, right when he starts running we can see he got hit by a fireball...

I'm not talking about the picture of the spell which appears at the left side of the screen. I'm talking about the red floating text near his character...

If anyone knows how to enable that, please, let me know

Hmm that's odd.. I've never seen the skills show up like that.. or then I've missed something in Options.

here is the wiki link http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Options for setting your UI.

I would believe it is this option in the General panel "show text in skill floaters"

I did, everything is checked but ''Hint''...

Do you think that could be it ?

Check: "Show text in skill floaters."
