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 think that is beyond the scope of MSBT as a combat log parser. MSBT -can- show a notification to an MSBT scroll area when YOUR cooldowns are up though.

Until the patch, I used NECB for enemy cooldown bars. Right now it's not working correctly until the new author updates it though.

Hope that helps.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Yves: There is zoom in at the beginning and then a jiggle effect for a bit before it fades. It sounds like you are wanting the zoom effect a little slower. You can send me a PM if you want and I'll point you to the right place in the code to experiment with the zoom speed to see if that's what you're after. Dan: The "Skill Crits" event controls spells. For example Mortal Strike does physical damage and Frostbolt does frost damage, but they are both just special abilities (skills). The inheritance system is a three part system. It goes from Master to Scroll Area to Event. The money/loot events are inheriting from the Static Scroll area. Go to the font settings for that scroll area and set it to inherit from master. By default it is set to "Yellowjacket" whereas the other scroll areas are set to inherit.

dan_landry A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Just got this add-on installed (RIP Parrot), but can't seem to get it looking the way I want. I've went in and customized my events to my liking, but can't seem to find where I can reconfigure my spell crits. The option just isn't there. There are melee and skill hit/crit options (for incoming/outgoing events), but no spell hit/crit. Am I missing something? Also, the main page allows you to set "master" font settings that you can allow inheritance of. There are two font presets you can create, Normal and Crit. However, there are events that generate text that don't fit into these categories (such as Money/loot) that still have the option to inherit their font settings. What option are these inheriting from? Where can I set a master font setting for these type of notification events?

No I have not disabled it.
The sticky crits is more shaking than zooming, where the original is barely shaking but giving a cool "BAM" zoom effect.

Hard to describe, suppose i could fraps it and render it in worst case scenario.

Thanks for the response btw.

Regards.

I can't wait for the triggers to be full implemented and i can make one for when thorns runs out. I never remember to recast it when soloing

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Chilljf: Verify that MSBT version 5.1 is installed. Anything prior will not work because Patch 2.4 changed the combat log. ThePooBurner: As Liolin indicated, I've already answered the low mana warning error on form shifting and how to disable it for now. It'll be fixed in version 5.11 including the other behavoir you are describing because it's all root caused to the same issue. As I posted on the main page, the trigger system is not fully complete because I didn't get to finish it before Patch 2.4 went live. Last edited by Mikord : 03-28-08 at 03:45 PM.

Re: Low Mana conditions

Originally posted by ThePooBurner
I've made some feature requests, but since conditions are disabled and this counts as a condtion i thought i would ask here rather than in the feature requests.

I keep getting the Low Mana! warning while in cat form and i use energy, but only when i am at 21 energy exactly. Once conditions are back will i be able to turn it off the warning when i am using energy instead of mana? Also, once they are back on, will i be able to adjust the level at which i get the warning? Also, when i switch to cat form i get the warning that i have 0 mana. Is there a way to disable this?

Check the post 3 messages down from Mikord

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	For those of you experiencing the Low Mana warning when form shifting, I suggest you go to the Triggers tab and uncheck the trigger for Low Mana! I will have it fixed in version 5.11 so it will not misfire when you shift forms, but in the mean time disabling it will get rid of the irritation. Nefarion: I will double check that when I can later tonight. Have you disabled other mods to verify it is in fact MSBT? Last edited by Mikord : 03-28-08 at 07:03 AM.
