sct alternatives

[Naeldon]

Howdy,

I'm just wondering if anyone has any good sct alternatives. I don't mind sct but I'd like to see what else is out there before I settle on one particular mod. I tried EavesDrop but I didn't like it too much.

I'd prefer something displays around the characters (like sct and eaves) rather than in a chat window type thing. I know of MSBT and Parrot but I've not tried either of those two yet (going to give them a go tonight) although Parrot is rumoured to be a bit difficult to configure.

I like SCT better than Parrot, haven't tried Mik's. Maybe I'm just too lazy or uncreative to think of a good configuration.

Uh ... Eavesdrop displays in a window.

Other than getting a HUD (which won't show damage in/out, textually), the only real options that you have are MSBT and Parrot.

Nothing's difficult to configure if you spend more than 30 seconds fiddling with it.

I personally like MSBT.

Hence I said I didn't like it too much :p

You also said that Eavesdrop displays around the character, which was a no-no.

I never said that! Damned lies!



Touche. What I meant was when I loaded Eaves, it did put it into a window, but it put the window on my character (I know I could move it but still).

Incidentally, when I read about Parrot it said it belts out Monty Python quotes when someone dies. Not sure if that's a wind up or not, but I not sure I want John Cleese screaming "THIS IS AN EX-PARROT" while I'm in the middle of a battle.

It does no such thing as far as I am aware. I don't use an SCT these days, but it never ever did that.

[Naeldon]

Thank fuck for that.

I'll try and find where it said it. It wasn't any official readme so I assume it was just something for shits and giggles, but as much as I like John Cleese that would be horrific.

Actually I think I might have exaggerated the sound effect bit since it doesn't actually say it does that. Obviously although it's the same name, it's the wrong mod.
