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.

Forgive me, I'm sure this has been answered somewhere and I'm sure if I had more time I could figure it out for myself, but between work and GF, my time is so limited that I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

I effin love MSBT. I turn off Incoming and Outgoing completely and use the Static and Notifications, primarily for proc notifications in text. Seeing "Eye of the Broodmother 1,2,3,4,5" and/or "Empowered Imp" flash up on the screen is worth its weight in gold.

But I'm trying to cut down on the spam a little bit and wondering how to disable many of the procs that don't either pertain to me, or have no value by being displayed.

Being a Caster, Improved Icy Talons flash up there is just spam. As is many of the healing based Notifications.

Where do I go and how do I go into the options to manipulate these procs/buffs? I've sorted through the checklists and didn't see these anywhere.

Thanks again for a killer addon and much respect

sigma914:

If you can PM me the relevant lines from the WoWCombatLog.txt file, I'll be able to answer you better, but I would think if both are hitting at the same time and a both attributed to the same skill name, they should already be merged by the current merging code.

duhwhat:

There is already an exception for triggers that allows you to selectively show them based on talent spec. There is not support for swapping full blown profiles on spec changes since I didn't really feel there is all that much outside of triggers you'd want to change between specs, but if enough people want a feature like that, I would consider adding it.

Merging MH and OH hits

Hi, i've searched high and low for any mention of how to do this (or if its even possible).

Is there any way that the MH and OH hits from FS/Oblit/BS and all the other abilities affected by Threat of Thassarian could be made to show as one hit, possibly with a (2 hits, 1 crit) or whatever bit after them?

Even if this isn't possible thanks for the great mod

Gadzooks:

Nothing changed that should cause that. Have you tried exiting WoW completely (not just a logout)? Blizzard has a somewhat rare combat log bug where it doesn't report anything and you might have run into that.

rlindberg:

That is odd. The best thing I can suggest is to try resetting your profile. You can make a copy of your current one, change to the new one, and reset that new one just to test if that's the problem without losing your current profile.

MSBT works beautifully with all my other classes/toons, but on my rogue it doesn't seem to want to work.

On the "Player Outgoing" I have everything selected. However, MSBT doesn't show any normal melee abilities (i.e. normal swings, non-crit eviscerate, non-crit sinister strike), but it DOES show crits-abilities, misses, interrupts, dodges, etc.

Please help, Mik . I also just died to Fel Reaver while typing. !

Edited for more details.

I updated to the latest msbt, like I always do. Didnt change any settings.

I no longer see any damage I do, any damage I receive, or any heals I do, or heals on myself.

Ive read through and seen other similar posts, partial heals are enabled, i dont have heals throttled for spam at all, and they are check in the events tab.

seebs:

It's happening because MSBT strips off characters after the hyphen mainly to prevent names in cross realm battlegrounds showing up as Player-Realm. There historically hasn't been many PvE mobs with hyphenated names, so I didn't put in the extra checks necessary to make it only apply to players in a battleground. It seems that Blizzard is starting to use more hyphenated names recently though, so I should probably add the additional player check.

I noticed some quirks with mobs with names that had hyphens in them; "Destructo-Bot 9000" (or whatever it was) would be reported as just "Destructo", etcetera.

Xark:

Yes, I added it recently. It's a question I've seen a few times and decided I should add it to the FAQ. I would really like to see Blizzard provide a CVar for disabling it as it's bugged me for a long time as well.


aKeio:

Are you trying to change the font size of the triggers? If so you'll have to modify the font size of each one individually as they are all overridden to a set value by default. Also, bear in mind that the font size applied is based on the normal font size if it's not a crit, and the crit font size if it is. Making it sticky only affects the animation style and does not cause it to be treated like a crit for font selection purposes.


keLston:

I'll assume you're only interrupting a single cast as opposed to spamming it in the middle of a bunch of identical caster mobs where multiple spells of the same name are in fact being interrupted.

Would you be able to verify if it shows up in the combat log four times? I suspect it is if you're seeing that behavior as I don't believe anything has changed to warrant MSBT creating events out of thin air.


sephra:

I added your question to the FAQ since it's been asked a few times. I'll copy it here for you:

How do I increase the font size to something larger than 38?

It is not currently possible due to a limitation within the game. Blizzard has stated that allowing larger font sizes is something they would like to implement at some point, but has not provided a time frame.

Maybe its been said before, is there anyway to increase font size past 38, Im playing on a 60 inch tv across the room, and it would be awsome to make text readable on my fav mod :P

This issue probably is not MSBT's fault and probably is Blizzard's fault but just in case:

When using Fan of Knives with Throwing Specialization (Rogue combat tree) to interrupt a spell, I see the spell interrupt scrolled 4 times instead of 1 time.

I seem to have encountered a bug..

No matter what I do I can't seem to change the fontsize of 'stickies' (in lieu, criticals), regardless of scroll area,

I've reset the profile, tried manual overriding at the scroll area level, overriding at the event level.

It seems to be locked at a fixed size.

Help?
