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.

Yes, Missile Barrage (Mage, Arcane proc talent) is another not being reported with MSBT v5.4.71 in WoW 3.3 live. Same issue with several other mods like SurgeTrack & Scorchio.

The funny thing, though, is that Tekkub's GoodNewsEveryone (v3.2.0.5-Beta, updated Dec. 5) has no problem at all alerting to Missile Barrage properly.

EDIT: that mod uses the UNIT_AURA & COMBAT_TEXT_UPDATE events to determine what to do, which seem to be unaffected by the bug.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	nima.m: / Radoznali: You are probably seeing Blizzard's built-in floating combat text. Blizzard re-enabled the checkbox in Patch 3.3. Disable it at Esc->Interface->Combat Text Shakari: There are a couple of announcements on the main page regarding that. lidorn: No, and I don't foresee that happening. They are completely separate events - one is spell damage, the other is physical melee damage. The entire merging system is built around like event which those technically are not. Toraneko: I just test it and HoTs are working correctly. Make sure you have the events (Events->Incomong/Outpoing Player, etc) enabled and your thresholds are set correctly on the spam tab. Also check the status of the Hide Full (HoT) Overheals on the Spam tab for your desired behavior.

kenetic A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Also I've noticed that the workaround seems to catch "some" but not all procs of Missile Barrage. It seems to pick it up, but also misses some of the procs. I would watch my buff bar and see the MB proc... but MSBT doesn't show the proc sometimes until several seconds later... if at all. As a tanking warrior... glad to have my S&B proc notice back Hope the issues are fixed soon. Absolutely love the mod and have used it since forever!

galvin A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 265 File comments: 166 Uploads: 1	Was wondering if we could have the opposite of skill supressions. I'm using this mod for one perpose to see if cleave hits all targets or not. So I have to suppress every ability but cleave. Also in vehicles it shows those abilities well. It be nice to have an option that lets me pick which spells I want included and leave everything else out. Unless there is another mod out there that tells you how many targets warrior cleave ability hits. I tried setting up a trigger for this but was not able to get the [hits,crits] info with it. Also possible to have a disable when in vehicle option. Dont need to see vehicle spam. Well I managed to edit MSBTmain.lua then change the damage parser to ignore all events but cleave.

Sudden death works and didn't do anything special. But taste for blood doesn't. I see it in the combat log though. Last edited by galvin : 12-14-09 at 10:02 PM.
