Version: 5.7.131

by: Mikord [More]

Announcements:

Version 5.7.131 fixes the font changing issue introduced by Patch 5.4.

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.

Anyone else having this issue, or know a fix?

I've played a disc priest now and would like to know if there's a way to configure this addon to display shields and absorbs (such as Power Word: Shields, Divine Aegis, Blood Shield, etc.) if there's an option for them. Googling did not help much. Last edited by leev18 : 01-30-14 at 03:17 AM.

ViertelHaineka A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	AoE lag I've used MSBT for years and it runs flawlessly for me (barring minor hiccups here and there with patch updates that are normal). However, there's one problem that I've always had and it's bugged me forever. When doing massive AoE pulls, any type of bombing runs where you hit multiple mobs (Vashj'ir seahorse, Klaxxai bomb runs, etc.) it freeze/stutters trying to calculate and merge all the data. I've tested it via running MSBT with Recount/Skada, running MSBT by itself, and with several other addons. The only time this doesn't occur is when I disable MSBT and do the bombing runs. Is there some way or setting I've not seen that can help alleviate this stuttering?

I use two fonts: one for crits and the other for normal dmg / heal

I can confirm the issue. This seems to only happen when trying to use fonts provided by other addons through the LibSharedMedia library.

line:
if (fontPath and outline) then frame.critPreviewFontString:SetFont(fontPath, fontSize, outline) end

replace with:
if (fontPath and outline) then
frame.critPreviewFontString:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF",20);
frame.critPreviewFontString:SetFont(fontPath, fontSize, outline)
end

apperently there is a bug in blizzards method SetFont so it dont work even for existing font, but calling that same method with generic font (FRIZQ) fixes it

enjoy

I just tried this and it's not working for some reason. :<

So for me I changed it to "MSBT Cooline" and cooline became my default. I recommend using notepad if you don't have any text editors installed and be sure you save the file after making the changes.

Just FYI, you can also add a line to add your custom font and set it as default. Still having the issue with last version, fixed this way.

@Vlad
I very much apologize for my overhasted comment.

@Mik
After the fixed version, i can change my font to what is was before, save and reload but after closing the whole game it resets the font to porky...

Ill try the quick fix, till the next version.

I suppose I thought it was crystal clear when I posted the supposed "fixed" version number (which I thought would be a dead giveaway about the issue persisting) and say that my problem is AFTER the "fix" listed below.

Thanks.

Like the post below I have to reload to see the changes in msbt options but the change does not make it to the text in game. FYI: this is the first install on msbt on this pc.

Thanks!

U havent read the last four posts or? Its already solved with the last fix. Just choose ure font, save, and reloadui...
