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.

For example: This is with a custom added font, Emblem, at 24 point with a thick outline. I can't get any font to look right at any setting actually. This is how it looks in SCT at the same settings:

Re: Triggers

Originally posted by Necrophgst
I read you are changing the triggers, so this question might be moot and pointless at this point. But the question is fairly basic I think.

Question:
How do you find the text to set a trigger on? What I mean is this. I want to make a trigger for Death & Decay when it spawns under me for example. I have tried making the trigger text "Death & Decay" or "Death and Decay" without the quotation. Neither seems to trigger anything. So obviously I am doing something wrong.

So really the question is: Is there a compendium of LUA messages or whatever I should be looking in (and if so where is it, a link would be grand!) for this message?

Or like the old MSBT is there a hidden search feature I'm missing for these events? I had written one ages ago for when shackles broke. I remember the text I wrote into the trigger of yore was nothing like "Shackle". I seem to be missing something. So any help would be useful.

Thanks so much for your time mate!

The new system just requires you to verify the name in the combat log. Whatever the name of the debuff is in the combat log is what MSBT is parsing. Then just make an event for a debuff application to yourself with that name. I don't know what Death and Decay is, but it'd have to do some kind of damage to you first before it would appear in the log.

I could just write them & reply back in this thread with the code. It's totally up to you - I just don't want to see you get burnt out trying to support this beautiful addon .

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	BigFire: Kraiden is correct. The icons that are being shown are what the Blizzard API is returning. Some things don't have specific icons and it seems that icon is what Blizzard uses as a catch all. Raskol: No, there isn't a code available for pet names specifically. Wyveryx: It will be fixed when I finish the new trigger system. I was hoping to already be done, but my free time has been severely limited. It's still in progress though. In the mean time, you can disable "Low Mana" on the trigger tabs for now to avoid seeing it.

When I am in Meow Form and my energy is low I get a low mana warning, though I have disabled the sound i still see the warning. Tried to find a trigger for low energy but found nothing. I have the same issue when in bear form and running low on rage. Is there any way to change this or is it something that will be corrected in an upcoming patch? Thanks for the awesome clean mod

A Shaman can have 5 pets out at once - 4 totems and an elemental - and it would be awesome to get a message saying exactly which one was hit. I tried replacing 'Pet' with '%r', however, I don't see the pet name, just the '%r' literal. Am I missing something - can this already be done? If not, this would be an awesome feature. Thanks!

It means it doesn't have any icon, it's a blizzard thing, I think.

Put the name of the debuff: "Mace Stun" or "Mace Stun Effect" -- I don't remember which one it is. You can put the scroll area into the outgoing damage section if you like.

As long as a message is sent to the combat log when it procs, MSBT can parse it for you and put up a notification.

Ahh yes that did the trick thank you Liolin. I was under the impression that this was a event thing not a trigger effect. Here's what I use if anyone wanted to use it as well.

Debuff App -> Target -> Hostile
Name: Mace Stun Effect

I dunno why, but I can see other people casting stuff that I don't need to see (I made triggers to see when rogues are out of CoD/popped CoD, sheep broken... etc etc) but right now... I even see people mounting up (BLAH is casting Dreadsteed, etc) and I also see people using all these skills... It floods my screen and I don't know how to turn it off or what causes this to happen. In the triggers menu, I don't seee anything with regards to this. Can you please help me? Thank you!
