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.

I know some friends have the same problem. Any word on this? It's not game-braking but it's a bit annoying.

I've seen it happen a lot more now since the last patch before 3.3.3 is released, enough that i've had to go back and use blizzard's floating text which is a poor substitute for this mod... I hope the mod author figures out whats wrong and fixes this problem soon.

I just found it a few weeks ago and things have been running really smoothly now that I've looked through all the options of this add-on. I know that your add-on keeps up with coold-downs, but would there be a way to set it with an audio file when certain cooldowns are up? I'm a healer an a lot of time I'm watching health bars and I can't catch all the cooldowns scrolling. I would like to know if I could set up some sort of audio file for each cooldown? That way I'll know when they are ready again. Thanks in advance!

Re: Text Disappearing Problem

Got exactly the same problem. After some game play, MSBT just stopped to wortk at all. It not showing anyting, damage, buffs, looks like its just turned off. /Reload dosent help either, only logoff/logon, or ALT+F4 will help.
That can happen after some active game play, after you got many actions and many triggers occured (Battlegrounds, Arrenas, Raids, Several instances in a row), it can happen from 10- to 30 min of active game play, depends how much t4riggers or actions u did.
(sorry about my english, hope you understand me)
any ideas how to fix it?

szoltomi A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Font size Hello! First, I would like to thank you for making this wonderful addon I have an interesting suggestion. I don't know wether this been posted before though. It is a function for scaling the text size with the amount of damage done. For example, a hit of 100 would be a size of 10, and the font size would scale up linearry up to 30, at a hit of 1000. It would help reducing the clutter of small DoTs/HoTs, since those abilities tend to do less damage per tick than direct damage or healing. It would also help reading incoming damage better, hits of 100s are almost nothing for a tank with 50k health, it would help the big (and usually more important) hits stand out more. As for the implementation, I thought about having the minimum and maximum font size changeable by the user. The problem comes from figuring out which would be the actual damage number for the min/max font size. For damage taken, it's quite straight-forward: Compare it to the player's max health. So for example, the smallest font would be on 1% health loss, and the largest on 100%. These numbers could be changed too. Same could go for healing done and taken. Figuring out the size for damage done is more tricky. To begin with, depending on class, the damage amount is really variable. There are also some fights which have temporary, or constant damage multipliers. Letting the player set the numbers up might be too much of a hassle, since it would have to be changed on every upgrade. Using real-time damage tracking might be a better idea, a system which keeps track of your smallest and largest hits, and sets them to the font sizes. The problem with this is that it would take some time to get the accurate numbers. Maybe you, or others can find a solution to this problem. An issue with this system is, that there would be no difference between a 6k crit, or a 6k non-crit. However, font type can be changed for crits, and many times, only the number matters, wether it was a crit or not does not. I'd love to see this done, but I don't know how taxing this would be on the computer. Thanks for your time

Hi, I am a warlock, and I have a question: is it possible to remove only "%a <Soul Link>" from player's outgoing (to my pet in this case) frame? I do not remember exactly right now, but there is something like "-%a <%a Soul Link absorbed>" in incomings, thats shows amount of damage transferred to minion. So i think there is no necessary to double it. Thanks. I hope You'll understand what I mean.
