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.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Kyron: I have that planned for a future version. Flarin: I've answered this before, but what you are probably seeing is the initial creation sequence. This mod does not create everything during the load process. It dynamically creates things as it needs them, so during the first few combat cycles upon logging in you will see a higher rate as the objects are being created. Once the objects are created, they are reused and the rate drops to right around 1.0kb/s (closer to 2.0kb/s during heavy AoE). This approach is taken because less overall memory is used in the long run and load times are also decreased. Imagine if you have 6 scroll areas defined and the mod were to create 10 static objects per area. That would be 60 objects whereas using the dynamic method perhaps only 10-15 ultimately get created over the first few combat sessions. Try your testing again after a few combat cycles and you'll see after things stabilize the actual rate is much closer to 1.0kb/s. If you find this not to be case, I'd love to hear about it because memory efficiency is one of the primary goals of this mod. Last edited by Mikord : 04-04-07 at 06:54 PM.

Flarin A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 290 File comments: 212 Uploads: 1	Hi- thanks for the response, and I apologize that this has been covered before. I really love your mod - I am going to do some extensive testing tomorrow to see if I can get to a rest state of 1-2kb/s. I will admit though that with SCT I enjoying seeing the rate at literally 0-0.9kb/s - although if the rate was 1-2 I am not sure there is a real difference. I will test with my current mods that I have installed and let you know the results.

kappe A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 123 Uploads: 0	stuff cant see mana gain when using mana tap, and mana spring totem mana gains too. i'm trying to add them but nothing is displayed.. can someone help me?

04-15-07, 12:18 PM
Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Kappe: Unless the mana gains shows up in the combat log, which both of the things you listed do not, they won't be displayed. This is a spam prevention mechanism because if it showed all mana gains there would be massive spam in raids from every mana regaining talent like natural regen, wisdom, vamp touch, etc.

blurr123 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Combat Message EDIT Ohhhhhh I figured out what I was doing wrong....It's call case sensitive. so /msbt search Divine (not divine) works. hehe, hopefully that note helps someone else. *original For some reason I cant get the combat message to proc. I try /msbt seach divine and cast spirit on myself and nothing pops up. I remember that I used to get the CHAT_SPELL.....etc messages a while back, but maybe around last patch or so I stopped getting them. Maybe something is supressing the display of this. Are there any other ways to parse combat logs? Could it be affected by combat log mods like hitsmod or simple combat log? thanks for your help and continued development of this nifty mod PS. An option to display mana regen ticks would allow me to totally drop SCL Last edited by blurr123 : 04-17-07 at 12:23 PM.

dannoray A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Crit Heals Trigger Ok, I can't figure out how to create a scroll area that only shows crit heals. How do I do this? I've searched the forums and I could not find a good example. Can someone direct me to a good tutorial or provide a walk through? Thanks!

newbie A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Is it possible to have MSBT display a message when an enemy player nearby begins casting a certain spell? I use WitchHunt 2.0, which is capable of outputting such events for other Ace2 addons to pick up. I know MSBT is not an Ace2 mod, but is there a way to register for the WitchHunt_Message event? I've searched online, read through the FAQ, and the readme.html but was unable to find a yes/no answer (mind you, I'm not a coder so I'm sorry if this is a common sense question for you guys). What I want it to do: Report to me when any enemy player nearby begins casting polymorph (or any other CC spell) in the Notification frame of MSBT. What I have currently: I use Antagonist and filter everything but enemy CC spells. This is actually sufficient for me, but I'd much prefer a warning in MSBT then the enemy cast bar. And I'm sure I'm not using my memory effectively if all I use Antagonist for is to display that one event. Thank you

04-26-07, 08:14 PM
Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Dannoray: You could do that via custom triggers, but keep in mind that it wouldn't remove the normal crit heals that you see. You'd have to turn off the heals event (incoming or outgoing depending on what you are setting up a trigger for) to prevent it showing in both places which means you'd need to make a trigger for regular heals too because the healing events don't discriminate between crit and non-crit. See the post below about how to find the right event types. Newbie: Yes, you can add a search pattern main condition type with the appropriate string to search for. Something like "begins to cast Polymorph" should work. Then you would need to select the correct event type to search. You can find that by typing "/msbt search begins to cast" in your chat box. That will cause the event type to be printed out when it sees that pattern in the combat log. After you know the event type type "/msbt search" to disable the search mode.

WitchHunt has actually supported msbt for a long time (including output to custom fields and such) - poke around in it's options, I don't remember the exact one offhand.

Kerecha A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 10 File comments: 196 Uploads: 0	I have been trying to find a way to move specific buffs to a different frame, but i can't seem to locate the event for them The "buffs" are Clearcasting / Meditation (priest talents) and Spell Haste (item buff from "scarab of infinite cycle"). I want those 3 displayed my custom "healing" display. I have tried the search function but it dosen't register em (i see em in combatlog but nothing is detected) Also is there any way to display mana gain? I have enable power gains but they don't show up anywhere. Edit: Another question, is it possible to change the srcollspeed on a frame?, would like the frame where i have loot to scroll slower then the others. Last edited by Kerecha : 05-12-07 at 07:03 AM.

05-12-07, 02:32 PM
Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Kerecha: The only way to move specific buffs are to create triggers for them and assign that trigger to the frame you want. Then you'd need to make a suppression to hide the one that appears with the other buffs. If you have the latest version you all you need to do for them is select a main condition type of "Self Buff Gain" and enter Clearcasting, Meditation, etc for the parameter. It is case sensitive to whatever the game calls the buff. There is already a trigger for clearcasting though and you can just add priest to the list of classes to which the trigger applies by editing it. The only mana gains that show up are ones that are shown in the combat log. The animation speed is a global value that applies to all frames, so no an individual frame's scroll speed can't be modified. Last edited by Mikord : 05-12-07 at 02:34 PM.

kyth A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 10 Uploads: 2	If this stops the periodic small client freezes I have when I have SCT running... I'm all for it! Two issues that are bothering me right now though: (1) no way to set text opacity I actually don't really want to be able to see my SCT most of the time, I use it more to get a sense of the pace of the fight, and then to have something to look at sometimes ("am I getting a lot of partials on my corruption ticks?") -- so I set my text to 40% opacity in SCT and it was perfect. Playing with MSBT up, I found the fully-visible text to be too "busy". (2) I find the "sticky message" animation very distracting ...which would be fine if it could be turned off -- but it can't be, there's no "none" option that I could see in the "sticky animation style". I'd like it to just, well, sticky. not wobble around.

05-22-07, 11:36 PM
Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Kyth: Thanks for the feedback. You can turn off all the sticky animations. Uncheck the "Sticky Crits" option on the general tab, and also go through to all of the notification events and triggers and uncheck the "Show Sticky" checkbox to all of the events that have it checked. It's the checkbox on the right hand side. The tooltip will identify it.

Morgue A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Hey Mik, just installed the latest 2.1 version of your addon (4.12) and it doesnt seem to be picking up extra attacks made via the new sword spec. Not sure how your addon was picking it up before hand, and I don't think the actual combat log text has changed (except its yellow now), but yeah... no sword spec notifications. Still get notifications for Thrash blade and such, but just not sword spec. Great mod btw =P
