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.

Undermine2k A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	need help First off thanks mik for one of the best addons ever created. Second question is is there a way for MSBT to alert me before a buff is about to run out like lets say my seal is about to fade in 5 seconds can i add a condition to tell me to renew it?

MAddzor A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	New Rampage buff Ahoy there, I'm trying to work out how to stop the new rampage trigger from spamming my notifications during a raid. The new rampage is the one when you crit you proc it. (not sure if this has been covered in an early post) But I get spammed with +rampage and -rampage everytime I crit (as it refreshes it) Please help. p.s. awesome addon so far !!

kriegstanz1 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Cooldown Lag Hi, I just started trying out MSBT over SCT, as I needed cooldown support. Seems great so far, but I've noticed a 1 second (approx) cooldown between a skill being available and the appropriate "%s is Ready!" message popping up on my UI. I don't see this using SCT-Cooldowns (but SCT-Cooldowns is missing a lot of functionality). Is this lag normal? Thanks again.

vpr A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 65 File comments: 272 Uploads: 0	Is there a way to set animation styles on the event level rather than the scroll area level? I want to have different animation styles for different events... I guess the work around would be to create a new scroll area that overlaps the same position as the other one and set the animation different for that area, but that seems a little inefficient in my mind. Also would it be possible to create a new animation where the text moves up (either straight up, or arcing very subtly up) then slides left or right - picture an upside down "L" and/or upside down and mirrored "L" Finally - is this a problem w/ MSBT or Chatter: Chatter has a highlight system that will look for your name (or other keywords you add) in chat and alert you in case you're not paying attention (like me) which I've told to route through MSBT. I've only blackened out names and previous chat because that's not important.

Hevanus A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 15 File comments: 199 Uploads: 0	MSBT is not detecting the cooldown finish on Explosive Shot / Arcane Shot for Survival Hunters. This applies both to cooldown notification and custom cooldown finish triggers. Ellipsis (my timer bar addon) detects it, so there must be some MSBT-specific issue.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	bqq: Ah, I see what you're asking. No, there isn't a log event to trigger on in that case. It would have to be done with some kind of timer or other events for which there aren't any trigger options.

01-27-09, 02:47 PM
bqq A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	thanks for your response, but I meant something else. I don't want the trigger for the initial interrupt. Instead I want to see when I am able to cast again. Example: A priest casts a heal and is kicked by a rogue. The priest is interrupted and cannot cast any holy spells for 5 seconds. After those 5 seconds I want a trigger to visualize that I can heal again - is this possible?

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	dorian24h: Unfortunately, I have not figured out a good way around that. The problem is that the fade is reported before the unit is actually dead. As a result, checking if the unit is dead does not work since it's not really dead yet. bqq: There is a combat log message when a spell is interrupted, but there is already an event for that (Events->Incoming Player->Skill Interrupts). If you're looking to make it more noticeable, you could simply modify that event's settings. For example, you could move it to the notifaction scroll area, make it always sticky, and increase the font size. As far as trinket cooldowns, there is no option for that. Tomacco_Boy: That would be an Aura Removal. So it should just be: Aura Removal Skill Name - Is Equal To - Overkill Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You Geo2160: It looks like you have the trigger correct, but I imagine the problem is the skill name. I don't know exactly what the buff is called when you receive it, but if you look at the combat log you should see something like "You gain X's Strength of Earth." Whatever the combat log says you gain is the exact value (it is case sensitive) to use for the skill name condition. Then all you should need is: Aura Application Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You Skill Name - Is Equal To - Whatever the combat log says If you only want the trigger to fire when you are playing on your shaman, then set the trigger classes to shaman only. yaroot: I won't rule out the possibility, but I don't currently have any plans to add more. The more animation styles there are, the more memory the mod needs even if they aren't in use. I generally try to limit the things I add to features that will be used by the vast majority of users (or those that have no real impact on memory and performance) to avoid bloating the mod for everyone.

Geo2160 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	One of the greatest addons ever created!! However, I have little question about it... I've been trying for a while to make it display a message when I gain a totem buff or when it fades from me but with no succes. The event window looks smth like this: Trigger classes: Shaman(tried without this trigger too) Main events: Aura application-2 conditions Recipient Unit Affiliation - is equal to - you(tried without it too) Skill Name - is equal to - Strength of Earth(tried here with "Strength of Earth Totem", "Strength of Earth Totem VIII/8", "Strength of Earth VIII/8" and skill ID from rank 8 SoE) Is this impossible or am I doing smth wrong? Thanks in advance. Last edited by Geo2160 : 01-26-09 at 03:30 PM.

I'd like to make a trigger for when overkill fades, i should have clarified that on my first post. lol

bqq A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	first of all thanks for the best addon ever created. now for some questions: 1. is it possible to create a trigger after being locked out of a spell school such as after being kicked, pummeld or mindfreezed? those spells/skills themselves don't create a debuff so I don't know how I could trigger that. 2. specific item cooldowns such as PvP trinket, when I can use it again. I know that I get the general "item x cooldown ready" message but I want to specify a certain trinket sound thanks in advance

dorian24h A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Hi. Thank you for this great addon! I'm trying to make a trigger when Serpent Sting turn off from my target and I am using a Aura Removal condition. It works fine but it also triggers when the mob dies. Is it possible to make an exception or some way to avoid it? Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
