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.

Daxwax A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Let me just say, great addon. Been using it for ages. Got a question for you though. Is it possible to make incoming hits play a sound, while partial blocks does not? I've found the option to disable partial effects, but I'd rather send partial blocks to its own scroll window instead without making a sound. Let me rephrase my problem; The melee hit event covers both hit and partial hits, when it comes to sound effect. Having it as its own event would be awesome.

Originally posted by Mikord Also, a known Blizzard issue that has been reported several times and I can't do anything whatsoever about is that their combat log sometimes just stops reporting. When that happens EVERY mod that relies on the combat stops working. This includes damage parsers, log-based notifiers, scrolling texts, etc

If that was true, my X-Perl would stop showing incoming damage and healing on the party frames, which it doesn't. MSBT is absolutely failing me. I may have to switch to a different scrolling text addon, because all my other addons continue working. Recount continues recording. X-Perl still shows incoming damage and heals on portraits. MSBT just randomly stops. Enabling it and disabling it via the /msbt menu doesn't help. Sometimes relogging doesn't even work. I deleted my savedvariables and set it up again, and it bugged out mid-arena again.

What's most frustrating is that MSBT is the best-looking combat text addon for my purposes, and shows me exactly what I need to know, when it's working. It's useless if it doesn't work though.

Then you're not talking about the same problem at all, because the combatlog error will affect all addons like that.
It might be some of your addons conflicting, or something in the config. Try deleting the savedvariables for MSBT and/or disabling other addons.

This is exactly what I did. My post is meant to point out that it's not the problem Mikord is shrugging it off as.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	timinator1: The triggers would follow this pattern: Output Message: %a (%s) Skill Damage Source Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You Skill Name - Is Equal To - Heroic Strike Then you can set the output scroll area for the trigger to whichever one you like. As I mentioned before though, you won't get any additional effects that you normally would such as partial blocks and absorbs. Daxwax: For the sound, I believe you could use a Swing/Range/Skill Damange trigger with these conditions: Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You Block Amount - Is Equal To - 0 That way it only happens with there is not any partial block amount. As far as the scroll area portion, there isn't really a good way to do it since, as you noted, the underlying event is the same in both cases. Newdles: If your other addons don't experience the issue (particularly Recount as I'm pretty sure X-Perl doesn't rely on the combat log events), I would agree the issue isn't the combat log bug then. Do you have Lua errors enabled via the game's Interface options (I believe it's under the Misc heading)? If the problem is with MSBT and not the combat log bug causing the problem, some type of error should be thrown. If you get an error, please post that and I'll try to help you further. geson: Not currently.

I'm not getting any errors remotely related to MSBT. I have the latest versions of BugSack and BugGrabber, which are correctly capturing lua errors.

Also, I've noticed that it seems to only happen in arena. The only addons which load when I enter arena, or do anything special, are Gladius and SSPVP. I will update both of these addons and post again if MSBT continues disappearing during arenas. It may be a conflict with one of them somehow.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Newdles: Has your issue been resolved? I read some recent comments where apparently a HUD mod (I've asked, but don't know which one in particular yet) is causing some issues with text showing up. That might be another thing to check. silv: The included readme.html contains examples that you can customize for those. You'll want Aura Application and Aura Removal main events with the skill names set appropriately and hostile reaction.

bigmase83 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 24 Uploads: 1	MSBT causing wow crashes, I think Well I have been using MSBT for years and I have loved every second of it. The other night thought I was coding my addon and adding some others and suddenly, when I reloaded my UI it just crashed with a #134 error and "not enough memory....". So I ran blizz repair, it did nothing. Deleted WTF, Interface, and Cache folder (saved my addons/saved variables) and it worked just fine until I enabled my addons. Then it started crashing again. So I formated my hard drive and reinstalled windows 7 64 bit, twice and reinstalled my addons from scratch. It kept giving me the loading crash. So i installed one addon at a time and everything was working fine until I enabled MSBT....I have no idea why. I pinpointed my problem to MSBT..or MSBT interacting with something. Do you have any idea what it could be messing with? I installed newest version and completed started from scratch. Any suggestions? Have you heard of this issue?
