MikScrollingBattleText

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.

Balum A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I've been tweaking with the triggers and I can't find one that will show the proc of the Lightweave Embroidery tailoring cloak enchant. The actual damaging attack it gives off is Lightweave Bolt. What criteria would I filter through to make this a trigger?

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	JohnCover: No, that is not an available option with MSBT, and it is very unlikely to ever become one. Blizzard does not provide a legimate method to get the position of 3D game world objects. They have stated this is on purpose and unlikely to change. As you allude to, nameplates can by used to get around this to certain degree, but I personally feel as though this is effectively a hack to bypass Blizzard's wishes and therefore I have chosen not to make use of it. That said, I would love for Blizzard to provide a legimate method obtaining 2D coordinates for units for the purposes of emulating the default behavior of showing damage above the enemy mob's heads, but until/if they do I don't want to use something that seems rather hackish to circumvent their intentional design. Redspider: Simply select the profile from the dropdown to load it for a character. The profiles are global and available to all characters. Each character remembers the last profile it has selected. So, if you want different settings on a character, login to the character, copy the profile you want to base the new one on, ensure the new profile is selected, and make the desired changes. Your other characters will still have whatever profile they previously had selected (typically the default profile). souroull: Unfortunately, there isn't a code for partial effects in triggers.

(number) thanks, awsome mod. i'm trying to get all dots to display at specific places (as in, different places) rather than have them all scrolling in the same area Last edited by souroull : 01-12-09 at 06:26 AM.

I would think something like the following should do the trick:

Aura Application
Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - Target
Skill Name - Is Like - .+ Poison
Amount - Is Equal To - 5

.

Thank you! It worked perfectly.

One more question, which I'm embarrassed to ask--but I can't seem to figure out how to copy the profile/botton arrangement that I created for one character to my other characters. I created a profile, copied, reset, ect. What I don't seem to be able to find is a way to "load" a profile. I'm probably missing something, but I looked through the readme.html and I still can't figure it out.

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	vpr: I haven't done any modifications to the mail system, so I can't really say for sure, but one event you might want to look at is UPDATE_PENDING_MAIL. From what I understand it fires when a new message is received, but it also fires under other circumstances such as leaving and entering an instance. You can probably filter out those extraneous circumstances though. I've also seen it reported that it doesn't always fire on every type of message (like one from the AH) and for that I don't know of a workaround (or if it is even possible to workaround). Redspider: MSBT doesn't have one by default, but you can always add it yourself via the trigger system. I would think something like the following should do the trick: Aura Application Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - Target Skill Name - Is Like - .+ Poison Amount - Is Equal To - 5 r1pt1de: MSBT automatically chooses the locale based on the game's locale (naturally only if MSBT has that particular locale available). You can't arbitrarily change it because there are too many pieces that rely on the game's locale such as specific spell names for triggers. neotron: The quickest way to handle that is to add a Trigger Recently Fired exception of a few seconds to the Rune Strike trigger. That way it will only fire once within the specified time frame regardless of how many times it is encountered. I will update the next build with that change.

01-08-09, 02:38 PM
neotron A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 87 Uploads: 10	Using the most recent version I've noticed that I get a message every time Rune Strike is available. This happens even if Rune Strike was already available which makes it very spammy when AoE tanking - often Rune Strike will trigger multiple times per seconds. Any way to only display a message when Rune Strike moves from inactive to active instead?

vpr A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 65 File comments: 272 Uploads: 0	Although this has nothing to do w/ Combat Text, I've been designing my UI around MikScrollingBattleText as a universal "Notification" system, rather than just for combat text, and so far I'm enjoying it a lot. I know you've written an API to allow other addons to pass messages through to Miks, and I've tried to do something on my own, but I'm just not skilled enough in coding to figure it out. I'm just trying to send a notification to MSBT when I receive a new mail message. Is this possible and if so how? The reason is I'm using postal for my mail needs and there is a current bug within Blizzards code from what I can understand that will not update the minimap button to indicate that you've read any mail - Therefor, the icon always shows up. I've wasted a lot of time running to the mail box only to find no mail. It's not a problem w/ just Postal, but all mail box addons that open the messages automatically. So that's why I'd like a notification (through MSBT) that I've received a new mail so I know for sure that there is something there. Thanks

Mikord A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 503 Uploads: 2	Deviant: I've thought about introducing a delay for that purpose, but how long the delay would have to be depends on latency which can be anything from 50ms to a full second or more depending on the connection. I wouldn't want to delay a trigger that long since it would be counter to their intended purpose of a being a real time NOW! type of indication and even then wouldn't be guaranteed to work if the latency was larger than the arbitrarily chosen delay. It's not really practical. The idea of checking the HP value might be a somewhat viable substitute, but I'll have to test the order of events since it's possible the HP isn't updated yet either. I've noticed that units die at 1 HP though, so it's a possibility depending on when that value actually gets set. Maybe an "almost dead" exception Last edited by Mikord : 01-05-09 at 06:00 PM.

Deviant A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	I actually thought there might be a issue like that, or something lag related. I guess only way to make it work would be make "artificial lag" or some sort timer between the triggered event and the check for exception, but that would be somewhat unpractical and not worth the trouble I suppose. How about the hp exception ? Or is there some problem that when target dies it's hp is something else than numerical value (don't remember ever seeing someone's hp like "0/maxhp"....)?
