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.

Hello everyone.

I'm currently finalizing the updated version of MSBT for version 4.0.1. I should be posting it tonight.

I will likely need some help is determining which new triggers should be added. One thing I have done is removed all of the triggers for the procs that now have built-in aura effects in the game; however, I'm sure there are likely still some procs/situations for which there are no built-in auras.

I will post more details on the main page and information requests when I push the update.

I have a ton of posts to go through to address the latest concerns still too. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around and will be working on getting everything updated.
Yes!

I can't find the WoW sounds to attach to an event. There are only 4 sounds available.

Where can I find them in the WoW folders so I can copy them to the mod?

I'm not 100% familiar with all of the new mechanics yet, but from talking to a guild warrior, it procs both when you gain "Enrage" and when you use "Berserker Rage". From looking at wowhead, Raging Blow also has a 6 second cooldown, so you'd want to account for that in the exceptions.

Try this:

Output Message: Raging Blow!
Main Events:
Aura Application
Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You
Skill Name - Is Equal To - Enrage
Aura Application
Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You
Skill Name - Is Equal To - Berserker Rage

Trigger Exceptions
Unavailable Skill - Is Equal To - Raging Blow


If you want to only show the trigger if you have enough rage (20), you could also add another exception for "Current Power - Is Greater Than - 19", but since your next swing would probably end up giving you enough rage anyways, that exception would likely cause you to miss the notification when you become enraged and don't yet have enough rage, but will shortly.

See the FAQ in the included readme.html or at MSBT's portal site here:

http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?id=156&a=faq

The entry is "How do I add my own custom sounds?"

Also, see the announcement on the description page regarding the fact that .wav files are no longer supported by WoW.

Just had a quick question, I noticed in my interface folder I still have an MSBTSharedMedia addon or folder. I don't see that in this zip file. Was that a separate addon that is no longer needed? I don't see it here or at the curse site.

Thanks for the information. I've confirmed the error. I'll get it fixed over the weekend.

Flyinion:

Yes MSBTSharedMedia was integrated into the main mod back in version 5.3.24 which was something like 2 years ago.

Cheers for the update! The new "power auras" are decent I suppose, but I'm used to and much prefer this addon, so here's another vote for keeping the old triggers.

Fulmination (Elemental shaman) is another talent that could use a trigger. I tried to add it to my custom triggers but couldn't make it work.

How would I go about adding a trigger for when I have a certain amount of holy power (namely 3) so that I'm alerted to cast either Templar's Verdict or Word of Glory?

I've tried using the following:

Power gain, with power same as holy power, with amount either greater than 2 or equal to 3.

Aura application, with spell name same as holy power (or ID same as holy power's) and amount either greater than 2 or equal to 3.

I can get triggers to appear whenever there's a change in HP, but that's about it.

Thanks for updating this great addon.

I'm having issues with low mana % warning sounds. (I'm assuming it's going to happen with health too but I haven't stood in something to the point of getting it) The trigger is set for 45% or lower (on mana) and it's just not going off. File is an MP3 and it's a fresh msbt install. WTF files deleted out as well.

Any suggestions?
