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.

Skill suppressions will work for actual enemy buff gains. They are case sensitive based on the name of the skill. So you can filter things like Enrage.

For the same reason, thresholds can't work on them either. You also are probably seeing monster emotes, which again are not categorized by the game engine.

I've been sorting out some methods of cleaning it up a bit, but there are some limitations with the game that probably won't be resolved until Blizzard implements the new event system they have slated for Patch 2.4.

For now, you can turn off the notifications off completely. Events tab->Notifications->Enemy Buff Gains and Monster Emotes.

So, example then: If I added Second Wind to the skill suppression list, it would suppress the "EnemyWarrior gains Second Wind" part but it would not suppress the proceeding "EnemyWarrior gains 225 health from Second Wind."?

That just seems odd to me. Are both of these above mentioned things the same event type? If so, the Skill Suppression string search should catch both of them. If not, then the periodic parts could be on 2 separate filters and separately toggleable.

Unless you are only doing a partial string search (the part immedietly after "PlayerX gains..."). If that's the case, is it a partial or exact match? Could we say, do a skill suppresion for 0-9 so that any health/power gain would get filtered out?

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Tardmrr: Thanks for your input. I realize that some icons are missing, but it is the API calls themselves that are the problem. MSBT actually already bases its buff/debuff gains and losses on the event you mention. The GetPlayerBuffTexture API call would certainly work when you gain a buff, but what about when you lose one? You don't get the event message until after the buff is already gone. At this point, the API doesn't return the texture any more. So, you have to cache it and rely on a mapping table, which, to my dismay, is the method that has to be used for all the skills too because the API won't give you textures for spells your character doesn't know. A missing icon is a lack of an entry in the mapping table. I'll consider a hybrid system that combines both for a future version. Borbies: Skill suppressions will work for actual enemy buff gains.

borbies A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 21 File comments: 43 Uploads: 0	Is there a way to filter out all the little Enemy Buff's that spam my screen. I want things like Bubble and Death Wish and Evasion to show up, but the Second Wind and Bloodrage spam is horrible. I tried adding them to the Skill Suppression list but it did absolutly nothing. The threshold's don't work either. It's either we see every single buff/hot/power gain they recieve, or none of them at all. Last edited by borbies : 10-31-07 at 03:48 AM.

tardmrr Lua Ninja Forum posts: 133 File comments: 134 Uploads: 12	First of all, props on the icon addition. It's been the one feature that MSBT was missing over those other addons that serve a similar purpose. I realize this is a limitation due to the fact that the combat event for gaining a buff/debuff happens before the UNIT_AURA event that makes the icon available through the buff API, but I think they should always have an icon. I see two ways to go about doing this: (1) Change your design to use the buff events instead of combat events for buff/debuff detection. (2) If icons are enabled and you don't yet have an icon, at each frame of animation check GetPlayerBuffTexture for the icon (remember, it accepts buff names now). (1) is more work, but (2) is computationally more expensive. Also, some effects originate from an item and, as a result, have the same name as the item. To give an example, consider the Mark of Defiance; when it's effect triggers, the combat message is "You gain 125 mana from Mark of Defiance." (In these cases, the item's icon should be shown. Here you can use a GetItemInfo call with ease for the texture since GII also accepts item names these days.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Peregran: To your first question, yes there is a Warrior Stance secondary condition. Check out the readme to see what the parameter values for the stances are. As far as freezes, I'm fairly certain nothing changed in 5.01 that would cause it.. I've done extensive testing with large amount of generated events against the 5.0 code base and it hasn't missed a beat. I won't rule out the possibility of an issue, but if there is, I haven't encountered it.

I am not sure if its this module or something else but for my Warrior and Priest, I have random brief freezes of like 2 or 3 seconds where game is unresponsive and the picks back up. This didnt happen with v4 but just started today with v5.01. Anyone else see this? - Peregran

Peregran A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 25 Uploads: 0	Taking Stances in account? Is it possible to add the ability on a trigger to take a stance into account. For example since Im a Prot Warrior, most of the time I don't use Execute when I'm tanking, so I'd like not to get the trigger in Defense Mode but only In Attack and Berserker Mode. Is that currently doable? If not consider this a feature request. - Peregran

I have a lvl 70 rogue and I don't have any problems with seeing Combat Potency procs. :S
"Events - Notification - Power Gains" needs to be enabled and Spam Control might affect too if Power Threshold = > 15.
Oh.. and I don't have "ALL Power Gains" on, it's disabled for me.

But there's one thing I would like to see, is there a possibility to add an "alternating" option for the Horizontal Scrolling? Because it really looks a bit weired if you got the DMG area in the middle of your Screen and everything goes left or right. (Maybe its just i like it Symetric ). I hope for an answer. P.S.: Keep it up

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Davedontmind: Blizzard doesn't log a combat event for combat potency. No combat log entry means no event. The only current option is to enable the "ALL" power gains under the spam tab, but that gets pretty spammy. GreatStalin: Look in the mod's description above. There is a whole section entitled "What's New?" I update that section with every release. Additionally the very first entry in the table of contents for the mod's readme file is "What's New" Last edited by Mikord : 10-26-07 at 06:56 AM.
