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.

Ah ok I see what you mean. In that case, no you can't do that in this version. An incoming heal is an incoming heal whether it came from somebody else or you so you can change what it says for HoTs or regular heals, but not based on who it came from.

Umberto,

Yes you can change that right in the interface. Just open the interface (/msbt), click on the Incoming tab and scroll down to HoTs (since it's incoming heals over time that you want to change). You will see the output text pattern next to it which is "(%s - %n) +%a" by default. Click on it and it will turn into an editbox so you can change it to whatever you want it to say. In your case, it sounds like you want +%a so that it will only show +200 or whatever the actual amount healed was.

Great mod... just replaced my old SCT because it cluttered my whole screen with messages and i couldnt see anything at times...

One thing ill change from yours is the way self heals are shown... i dont need to know that my frenzied regeneration heals me for 200... i'd rather prefer to see it as 200 only

Is there any way to change it on my own?

Mooshroom,

If by customize the messages, you are referring to being able to change what they say, then you can do that directly in the interface by simply clicking on the "Output Message" text next to the event in question. It will turn into an editbox where you can make it say whatever you want. The tooltip will also change to show you any event codes that are available for that event.

I assume though that you are talking more about being able to put in custom notifications for things like Overpower, Riposte, Mongoose Bite, etc. That capability is not available yet, but Version 3.0 will have a new tab that will allow you to do all of that type of stuff. It will also have most of the things people would want already available.

@abcfox:

No the animation is based on frames per second, however you can adjust the animation speed to make it quicker on slower systems or slower on faster systems. I dabbled around with scrolling the text without basing it on fps, but I found the text to be too jerky.

@willgk:

Thanks for your post. I really appreciate the positive feedback on my mod. Stay tuned as I have more features to come!

Try not to be too hard on the other mod developer though. I can certainly understand where you are coming from, as I was shocked that he would be upset by an alternative as well. However, he was the one who came up with the idea of the "floating text" animation display method for WoW. I think he deserves respect for his hard work and effort he put into creating it. Regardless of his remarks, he still has provided a lot to the WoW community and will continue to do so I'm sure.

Is the text scrolled in an fps independent manner, or is there an option to set it that way?

I personally thank you for this Mik, as it is leagues better in everything it does than that other one, and due to the arrogance shown here by the other dev that wants to flame you for a mod you remade and made way better, i'll never use the other one for any reason again.

Keep on keepin on, and absolutely wonderful mod, maybe we could get some more animation types, other than that, I give it a 10/10 for a full featured and working mod.*

Cool, Mik. I look forward to that being added (as I've noticed a few other notifications I'd want to add).

Perhaps a feature you could add easily would be enabling the feature request thingie.

Then I could put in a request to be able to set coordinate positions for the scrolling areas so they don't look so crappy when I set one by hand without being able to see where the other two are.

@elmanthira and Sano:

Currently, there isn't a way to do that. I plan to add something in the next version to allow for those types of things though.

@BioTwister:

I agree with you on that. I'm trying to find a way to turn that off. It doesn't appear to be a part of the interface. You can see this by hitting alt-z (by default) to turn your interface off. The game's XP still shows up above your head even though the interface is off.

I imagine there is some CVar to disable it, but there doesn't appear to be any reference to it in Blizzard's code.

If anyone reading this knows which one it is or another method to disable it, please PM me!

Love the mod

However, is there a way to turn off the Blizz XP event on mob kills?
End up with double for XP events, and I want to keep the MSBT one!

It would be nice to see when spells are countered via a Mage's Counterspell. I had a custom event in SCT for that.

I appreciate that there are other addons which do what I'm looking for, I'm hoping to minimize the addons I load.

If msbt cannot be adapted to my purposes, that's fine, but it seems that this kind of reactive event falls within it's notification abilities.

Take a look at Mongoose Mania from Mokaikai.

I've been using it for quite a while. Do need to move the splash screen, but it does it's job.

Red Range from Iriel will also "De-Blue" when the ability is available, but I don't hardly notice that. I tend to caught up in pressing and clicking :^Þ ™
