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.

MSBT Trigger Help

I am a user of intermediate knowledge with MSBT. However, I'm trying to set up some triggers that won't fire using the logic that reads correctly in my eyes. Can anyone shed some light?


Let's take enemy uses Freezing Trap for an example. I want trigger 1 to alert that a Hunter used Freezing Trap in a "notification" scroll area. I want trigger 2 to fire when someone is trapped with their name indicated, in a secondary notification area off to the bottom side of the screen.

Trigger 1: Cast Success | Source Unit Reaction Hostile | Skill ID 1499, "%n Freezing Trap!"
Trigger 2: Aura Applied | Source Unit Reaction Hostile | Skill ID 1499, "%n Trapped %r"

Trigger 2 is not firing? Why? I tried troubleshooting by changing to Recipient Unit Affiliation You.

In general, I'm confused at when I should be using Cast Success vs Aura Applied. As well, for a "Skill Interrupt" event, which Skill ID is used? The Skill ID of the interrupting spell or the spell that was interrupted?

Crashes WoW

Under Master Fonts:
Changing Normal Fonts to Friz Quadratta TT and then Normal Outline to Monochrome will crash the game. Has happened repeatedly.
