Improved Combat Text v2 Custom Edit

Description
This is a custom edit of the "Improved Combat Text v2" mod. All credit for the original work goes to to the original mod by Codefly
and credit for maintaining it up to v2 goes to LeoMaven
The majority of this description was also shamelessly ripped from LeoMaven's page.

Description
This addon replaces ToME's floating combat text:
- Shows the damage type (lightning, etc.) as icons or text!
- Text moves in a consistent direction and should be much easier to read than ToME's default for a variety of reasons.
- Can group damage for an entire player turn, or by every action taken - choose how much information you want to see!
- Various font sizes to choose from
- Various font coloring options (color by major damage type, use the default red / green, etc.)
- Text duration can be changed to fit your play style.
Icon credit for this addon goes to Lorc.

Custom Edit
The original addon is great, but I was always frustrated with the excessive amount of floating talent text and other nonsense that just wasn't relevant to the damage numbers.
All of the yellow lines drowned out the actual combat damage numbers and it made me not want to use it. This custom edit gives you an option in the settings area to disable this text, and it is off by default.

Installation:
* For Steam users: subscribe to this mod
* From site: Download the '%mod_name%.teaa' file and copy them to Game Addon directory: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\TalesMajEyal\game\addons
Check (or set) Auto: Active status on this mod in 'Addons' tab on start screen

Uninstallation:
For Steam users: If you would like to remove this mod, you'll have to unsubscribe it's first from Steam and then delete the file named '%mod_name%.teaa' from C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\TalesMajEyal\game\addons
From site: Delete the file named '%mod_name%.teaa' from C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\TalesMajEyal\game\addons

or make it easy in game:
On start screen: Open 'Addons' tab and select "Manual:Disabled" in %mod_name%
That's all.

A Note for CodeFly or LeoMaven
If either of you just want to take my changes and put it in your own addon pages that is completely fine with me.
I don't really want to maintain this long term if I don't have to so feel free to just update your own stuff and let me know. I'll take my addon down if there is no reason for it to exist.

Can you add an option to only show enemy skills used? I find that pretty useful. Don't need to see what button I just pressed tho

Hmmm, I'm not super familiar with how other languages are being handled, but I can try and take a look.

Seems like the 'Display Non-damage Text' feature of this plugin can only display English characters, and any other language is not shown correctly. Can it be updated to fix this issue?

That is very odd. Are you running this as well as the other Combat Text addon?

Has anyone else experienced inaccurate damage for the floating text? I am experiencing double the damage actually reported in the game log
