Thanks for the heads up. That is probably the case since I've used _ for return values I'm not using throughout the entire addon as per the standard way to ignore return values in lua. I'll go through and make sure all instances are handled. I personally don't think adding a local declaration for _ is a lazy fix as there are...

Potential Brewmaster Tweaks
Posted By: Mikord
For Brewmaster Monks, I'm considering the following changes: Handle Chi power like Combo Points and Holy Power (showing the number of Chi you have rather than +X Chi on gains) (Edit: Implemented in 5.7.2) Suppress all Elusive Brew gains (it's super spammy) and instead create triggers for Elusive Brew x5, x10, and x15 (Edit: Im...

Yes, I plan to update for Mists. Coldkil: I'll see about adding the monochrome for pixel font support while updating for mists. It should be a fairly quick change. Edit: Actually after looking at this, I forgot that it already supports it. You simply need to select one of "Monochrome, Monochrome + Thin, or Monochrom + Thic...

I'm out of town without access to WoW at the moment, but I'll look into the honor gains not showing up when I have access again.

Posted By: Mikord
donteven: I believe that %e only works in triggers, but I'd have to double check to be sure. I wrote most of the code years ago. I'm fairly certain you can create a trigger though. ronjon: MSBT doesn't interact with any existing UI game elements for the scrolling text. The only thing I can think of is that the options m...

Posted By: Mikord
Pseudopod: I've not seen any issues with taking seconds as you describe. All events are batched within small windows (.3 seconds) in order to allow for event merging. That is maximum amount of time you should see between when an event happens and you see the output. Aside from the above, if you're talking about HoTs or DoTs,...

Posted By: Mikord
Profax, That has to do with how the combat log reports the events. The combat log only provides Cast Success (SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS) events for instant casts. For casted spells, it reports Cast Start (SPELL_CAST_START) events. As far as I know, there is no combat log event for when a casted spell finishes. Instead the actual eff...

shaggy7: This was fixed in a second update about an hour after the initial release of 5.6.107. Update to version 5.6.108 to remove that.

Posted By: Mikord
eventide: Are the interrupts showing up in the combat log? If they aren't, MSBT won't detect them and hence won't show them.

Philsco: I just tested it on my system and it's all showing up properly. I have read some comments that there may be a new bug in the game with creation of particular types of frames while in combat, but I don't know the specifics, so it may or may not be what you're seeing. I'd suggest doing a /reload while not in combat and...

Posted By: Mikord
Overhealz: Font settings are working correctly for me. Make sure you don't have it overridden at the scroll area, or event levels. If you set the master font, but have a different one chosen for a scroll area instead of "Inherit" then it will naturally use the one you selected for the scroll area. Farside: There is not a...

Posted By: Mikord
zophiel: As with pretty much every type of effect of that nature, it procs a buff. Looking at wowhead I see it is called Power Torrent. The default settings that come up when you create a new trigger are for aura applications, so change the name to Power Torrent, and that should do it.

Just a quick FYI. An easy way to support the various methods of outputting to the various combat text sinks (Blizzard floating combat text, MSBT, SCT, Parrot, BCF) is LibSink-2.0. ... Support for outputting to Blizzard's SCT and the SCT addon (not MSBT) ...

Posted By: Mikord
Fiercy: Maybe you just stated it backwards, but the workaround is actually for the PTR, not for live. v5.5.99 works both on live and the PTR. There shouldn't be any need to modify it at all. Adams message was against v5.5.98 which was before I added the workaround for the PTR in v5.5.99. The test you are commenting out ess...

Posted By: Mikord
Magda: Merging is a bit tricky and realistically relies on the timing of the reported events in the combat log. Since it isn't possible to know exactly what is going to happen in the future from any given event, merging is accomplished by batching events and waiting a bit to see if multiple similar events happen within a short wi...

Posted By: Mikord
Talia: It depends on how you've added them to Shared Media. Shared Media just maintains a list of fonts and their paths. If you added them to MSBT's custom media, it also adds them to Shared Media which makes them available to other addons (and the reverse is true as well - if you add media to shared media through other means,...

Posted By: Mikord
Talia: Most automatic addon updaters delete addon folders before installing the new version. I'm not a huge fan of that behavior, but I can understand why they do it that way since it avoids other problems. Did you have a custom font in the MSBT\Fonts directory? If so, the file is probably not there anymore and the other mods...

I just pushed another update to fix a couple of bugs introduced by Patch 4.0.6. I'm still going through posts and bug reports and such, so there might be a little more churn while I get everything updated.

Update for 4.1 forthcoming
Posted By: Mikord
I'm in the process of updating for 4.1 and reviewing recent commits. Thanks to everyone who posted the information for the fix, the fan updates, and committed them. Sorry for the delay on the update. I've been away for the past couple of weeks and didn't have access to Wow in order to make a proper update.

ozma21 / Rilgamon: Thanks. Silkfire: It's definitely not impossible to detect via other means, but in general I try to avoid using hacks like that because as soon as the underlying bug is fixed, it causes strange behavior like double notifications and such.

Posted By: Mikord
Bandes: Is there a proc when Arcane Missiles can be used now? It used to be Missile Barrage. You should be able to simply modify the Missile Barrage trigger's conditions to the new proc name, but I'd like know as well so I can update MSBT's default triggers accordingly. ozma: There is not currently. Would you file a bug...

Posted By: Mikord
Lunarion: I've never run into or heard of that problem, so I don't know of a guaranteed fix, but it seems to me the there must be some remnants left behind by whatever your original issue was. MSBT doesn't do anything special outside of the standard WoW API, so I'm not sure how it would be causing that. You stated that you cle...
