Version: 5.7.138

by: Mikord, Resike

Announcements:

Version 5.7.134 is updated to work with Warlord of Draenor Patch 6.0.2 and fixes the font preview issues.
If you are having issues with the fonts "resetting" on initial game load, update to Version 5.7.137.
Version 5.7.138 corrects issues with several triggers like Kill Shot and Hammer of Wrath.

Description:

MSBT is designed to be an extremely lightweight, efficient, and highly configurable mod that makes it easier to see combat information by scrolling the information on the screen in separate, dynamically creatable scroll areas. It is a replacement for Blizzard's Floating Combat Text and Damage output.

Features:

Lightweight and efficient design.
Scroll incoming damage/heals, outgoing damage/heals, and notifications in separate configurable scroll areas on the playing field.
Display player and pet cooldown completion alerts.
Display loot alerts with a total of how many are now in inventory.
Add triggers that will allow you to show notifications based on a variety of conditions.
Assign a sound file to play for events/triggers.
Dynamically create new scroll areas and assign any event/trigger to them.
Customize the position, size, animation style, enabled state, font style, font size, font outline, and opacity for each of the scroll areas.
Customize each individual event's color, font style, font size, font outline, opacity, output message, enabled state, and scroll area.
Set "Master Font" settings that will be inherited by all of the scroll areas and the events in them unless they are overridden at the scroll area or event level.
Merge AoE data into one event with cumulative damage/healing done with number of normal and crits specified.
Show overhealing amounts against yourself or party/raid members.
Color unit names according to their class (including CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS support).
Color damage amounts according to damage type.
Show partial effects (resists, absorbs, vulnerabilities, etc) colored according to type.
Filter output information with a full suite of spam controls.
Load on demand options.
For mod developers:
- Output your own scrolling messages with the MikSBT.DisplayMessage function instead of having to create your own frame and animation code. You can also use your own font by first registering it with MSBT via the MikSBT.RegisterFont function.
- Create custom animation styles.
- See the included API.html file for reference information.

I plan to make it only apply to more than one. I plan to add "stack" events for buffs and debuffs that only apply to 2 or more applications and can be individually customized. I just ran out of time for this patch and wanted to get the update out.

Should be possible: simply done it would be something like
-
If(stack.Amount=>1){
show stack.Amount;
}else If(stack.Amount=1){
hide stack.Amount;
}
-

Or something like that :P I'm not an advanced programmer lawl

berrybear A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Thank you for your excellent addon Do you have any plans to add support for arbitrary numbers of textures in MSBT messages? The reason I'm asking is because I wrote a raid warning to MSBT re-router and raid warnings can have any number of textures at any position in the message body.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Contiki: If you take a look at the included readme.html, there is a trigger guide and trigger reference. The first section in the reference contains which event codes are available. %r is what you want.

Contiki A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 72 Uploads: 2	Greetings, I've just recently discovered MikScrollingBattleText and it gets the job done very smoothly. I like customizing every nook and cranny of the add-on. For my priest twink, I like it to notify me of fading buffs on party members and myself. I was wondering if I could create a trigger that not only says, "Someone in the party has lost Power Word: Fortitude" but that goes futher and names the party member. Like for example, "Bob has lost [...]." Right now I can create a trigger for the event Aura Removal and set its condition to Recipient Unit Affiliation is equal to party member. Whenever someone in my party loses the buff in question, the trigger fires. However, I don't know who has lost the buff, I need to check the party members first. Is there a variable I can use so the notification names the party member? Maybe something similar to the %a and %e variables some of the other triggers use? If there isn't, could this be implemented? And if this is already possible, how do I tweak my trigger to use this feature? Greetings, Contiki

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Mikari: It really all has to do with how often the updates are fired by the game which mods have no control over. The position is calculated based on elapsed time so it's not tied to the framerate. If there is a long delay between an update call, it will appear to jump a couple of pixels. That's probably what you see from time to time. Incidentally, this is the same approach both the default FCT and the new 3.1 animation system use. The same thing happens there. I have been playing with the game's new animation system, but it's still limited. The most recent build added support for creating specific affine animation objects and that was a big step in the right direction. Unfortunately, being affine in nature, the only translations available are straight lines and there isn't a mechanism to specify custom offsets for curvilinear transformations. In short, the new system is improving, but I don't think it's quite ready yet.

04-11-09, 05:53 AM
Mikari A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 17 File comments: 102 Uploads: 3	I'm wondering if this is a bug or not, sometimes I notice the animation of the scrolling text isn't smooth it almost judders, but other times it's perfectly smooth, this occurs even when framerate is high. Speaking of animation, is the new animation system in 3.1 in a good enough state that you'll be switching over to it?

Deep92 covered it for you. I am pretty sure you'll find your combat log stops reporting. MSBT relies on the combat log, so if it stops reporting, so does MSBT. If you find that isn't the case, enable the "Display Lua Errors" option in your interface options and see if there are any errors being thrown.

Thanks for ur answer .i just tested and do it follow ur way ,i am sure my combat log work fine when msbt stop work .and when i enable ""Display Lua Errors" option ,yea .find an error for me.it spam this error to me all time :

"MSBTAnimations.lua:253

unnamed):Settext():Font not set "

when this error happened 3-4 times .Msbt stop showing outgoing dmg .so what can i do now ?

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Mikari: I'll look into it. I think it should be fairly easy to implement. Rayvenn: Thanks for the update. For you question, just add an Amount condition to the Aura Application event and set it equal to the number of stacks you want to trigger on. Newdles: I've already answered this one over in the feature requests, but there will be one in the next version. ezrast: That is not one of the pieces of information reported by the combat log for aura applications. A debuff type condition is an interesting idea though. xuwhy: Deep92 covered it for you. I am pretty sure you'll find your combat log stops reporting.

If it still works, it's a bug in MSBT if the Combat Log fails, then it's not MSBT. I don't know how to fix it tho, it's somewhere in the comments..

i am sure my combat log work perfect fine ..really wonder me .
