Swaldman: There is a beta tab on the same row as the Comments tab.

Eiszeit: That looks like it's due to a change that Blizzard made in Patch 2.4.2 regarding money loot. It is fixed in MSBT 5.13, so make sure you have at least that version.

Vampa: Unfortunately I didn't get as much time over the weekend to work on it as I thought I'd have, but nevertheless the beta version is really close to ready. It will likely be tomorrow or Thursday evening. Here is a little info on what to expect. The new trigger system is completely based around the events the new Blizza...

I plan to have a beta version of 5.2 with the new trigger system and a greatly optimized event parser up by the end of the weekend. I know that people had come up with some clever triggers with the old capability of search patterns, and my goal is to bring that level of flexibility back into the system. Since I'd like to get th...

Posted By: Mikord
Nahima: Are you at version 5.13? The behavior your describing is exactly how it was in prior versions. The damage done from a reflect is treated as if you were the one casting the spell. I didn't add the specific reflect message itself until version 5.12. To clarify, you won't see " Reflect (amount)!". What you should see t...

Luxus: I will probably have something beta wise next week. Nahima: There are actually two events generated per spell reflect - the reflect message itself, and an outgoing damage event. For example, let's say you reflect a Frostbolt. You will see the reflect message " Reflect!" followed by the outgoing damage event " 1835".

Please ignore the update flag. I'm setting up the new SVN capability including beta pushes offered by WoWI. The current version is still 5.13.

Abacinate: You can't current trigger on those. You'll be able to in 5.2 though. Bebe: You aren't running the latest version. Patch 2.4.2 removed some global variables I was making use of. It's fixed in the latest version though. Make sure you are up to v5.13 ("/msbt version" in game to check it). Also, some people hav...

Posted By: Mikord
The trigger system documentation doesn't reference a search pattern option anymore, because the old way of searching is no longer possible due to the way Blizzard changed the combat log in Patch 2.4. I think what you are seeing is the general lua search pattern reference I left in the documentation because it will once again be us...

Posted By: Mikord
Lycannon: I've had several people test the latest version and they are not having any issues. I'm guessing you don't actually have the latest version loaded for one reason or another. Type "/msbt version" in the game to check. Also, when you download the zip file it should be named "MSBT5_13.zip".

Silviu: That's what I get for trying to rush the update out without fully testing it. I just uploaded version 5.13 to fix that.

Posted By: Mikord
Agengenist: Try clearing your browser's cache and redownloading it. The zip file you download mirrors the version number, so you should be able to tell if it's the correct version without installing it. I suspect this is your issue because I noticed I had to do that for WoWInterface to serve up the correct file for me as well.

Posted By: Mikord
Whizque/Avenenist: Would you type /msbt version and verify that it is in fact 5.12? I'm pretty positive it's fixed. I just downloaded it from the site (after clearing cache to make sure I'm actually getting the latest version) and installed it. It is working correctly for me.

The loot error is fixed in version 5.12 along with the druid low mana warning while in form bug.

Hevanus: That should be possible when I get the new trigger system finished. I apologize it's taking so long, I've just had zero free time. Liolin: Thank you for answering questions in my absence :) Alcaras: Not with the current system. It might be possible with the new one depending on whether or not the game re...

Slobs: There isn't a way to change that directly for now. If you want to PM me I can tell you how to modify the code to not ignore the physical damage coloring though. InspiredOgre: Damage shields don't have a separate event and are lumped under Skill Damage, so you won't be able to separate them from it. Hevanus:...

in2repid: Thank you very much for the offer. I already have the core system rewritten. I'm just working on the UI at this point. Vtablo: You will need MSBT 5.1 or higher to work with Patch 2.4. Blizzard changed the combat log significantly and much of it had to be redone. Toll/Rogi: Check the master font alpha l...

Posted By: Mikord
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 ne...

Trycatchme: Not with 5.11, but the new system I'm currently working on will allow it. Salish: It all depends on what sound files you have added to shared media lib, either manually or through other mods. I suggest you read MSBT's FAQ on adding sound files directly to MSBT as it might work out better for you. Vyril:...

Posted By: Mikord
Rayvenn: That's an interesting idea, but I think tracking of enemy cooldowns is better left to mods that are designed specifically for that purpose. If you haven't seen it, you might want to check out afflicted or something similar. I believe it lets you specify which cooldowns you want to see as well. Nightstrikergp: I...

Kyron: I sent you a PM. Varyk: That doesn't sound like it's coming from MSBT. It is possible another mod is outputting that message using MSBT though. Morydees: You'd have to modify the lua files directly. Probably the easiest way would be to open MSBTMain.lua and find: -- Append the merge trailer if there is on...

Posted By: Mikord
Gildhen: Blizzard' new API that returns icons for kill still seems to have a few buggy skills. I'm sure they are on top of getting it fixed. At any rate, no there isn't a way to override the icons for specific skills. Kerecha: I imagine you are referring to triggers, and yes you are correct they do not inherit the crit s...

Henrik / Liolin: You are correct. They are named the exact same thing and so can't be differentiated. Mad67: Not currently.

Hevanus: Not specifically Vampiric Touch, but you can move the entire Power Gains event (Events->Notification->Power Gains) and hence Vampiric Touch with it.

CyberOto: Thanks for the report. I'll see what's going on. Liolin: Correct. As I posted on the main page, I've actually decided to scrap the current system and go with something completely different and way more customizable, though it will likely come at the cost of being slightly more difficult to use. At any rate,...
