sigma914: If you can PM me the relevant lines from the WoWCombatLog.txt file, I'll be able to answer you better, but I would think if both are hitting at the same time and a both attributed to the same skill name, they should already be merged by the current merging code. duhwhat: There is already an exception for triggers t...

Posted By: Mikord
Gadzooks: Nothing changed that should cause that. Have you tried exiting WoW completely (not just a logout)? Blizzard has a somewhat rare combat log bug where it doesn't report anything and you might have run into that. rlindberg: That is odd. The best thing I can suggest is to try resetting your profile. You can make a...

seebs: It's happening because MSBT strips off characters after the hyphen mainly to prevent names in cross realm battlegrounds showing up as Player-Realm. There historically hasn't been many PvE mobs with hyphenated names, so I didn't put in the extra checks necessary to make it only apply to players in a battleground. It seems...

Xark: Yes, I added it recently. It's a question I've seen a few times and decided I should add it to the FAQ. I would really like to see Blizzard provide a CVar for disabling it as it's bugged me for a long time as well. aKeio: Are you trying to change the font size of the triggers? If so you'll have to modify the font...

Hike: There is an announcement on the main page about it. You need to update to the latest version. Xark: Check the FAQ here: http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?id=156&a=faq In short, it is not.

Morphiene: Ensure you're running the latest version (5.4.63) , you don't have the healing threshold set too high on the spam control tab, and that you have healing events enabled on the events tab.

Re: Bug with latest version and 3.2
Posted By: Mikord
Originally posted by gibreel Once I looked at the relevant code section, I realised my nubish mistake - I had disabled the MSBTOptions module - but it seems to me that MSBT should fail a little more gracefully in the face of this sort of user stupidity. Blizzard must have changed the load on demand function calls around. It used...

Maldazzar: Would you PM me the relevant combat log entries? If you're not familiar with how to do that, type /combatlog to enable logging. Pop deterrence and capture the events that aren't being detected. Type /combatlog again to disable it. Logout of WoW and check for the Logs\WoWCombatLog.txt file.

Posted By: Mikord
Skeeterxi / Nordica: I suspect Blizzard has added a combat log event regardless of whether or not it healed for any whereas previously one was only reported when an actual heal took place. That's unfortunate, but you should be able to filter it out by raising the healing threshold to a value greater than zero on the Spam Control...

Posted By: Mikord
Squishy_Tia: I haven't seen the old SCT in years, so I'm not exactly sure how the animation style you are talking about looks. Is it a rainbow type of arc (like the upper half of a circle)? On the scroll width think of the anchor points of the text. The text will move all the way through the scroll area relative to that point...

Posted By: Mikord
Namkung: The only way to prevent merging is on an individual skill basis. You can add the skills to the Spam Control->Merge Exclusions. There is not a way to disable it completely because spam prevention is one of the primary features of MSBT. It becomes a nearly unreadable mess of numbers with all the AoE damage numbers flying...

Maldazzar: You are correct. Upon looking I see that there is not a trigger event for aura refreshes currently available. I will try to add that event in the next version which will be released with Patch 3.2.

Movarrin/Shadowed: The problem is because line 229 is expecting a table: for itemid in pairs(GTTP_List) do Quests that don't require items for turn in have the entry in GTTP_List set to the boolean value of true versus of a table containing a list of items. GTTP_List = { = true, } I was able to fix it by by wrappin...

Posted By: Mikord
Maldazzar: I would have to check to be certain, but I believe those show up as an "Aura Refresh". You can access the number of aura applications via the "Amount" condition. Something like the following should work: Aura Refresh Recipient Unit Affiliation - Is Equal To - You Skill Name - Is Equal To - Inner Fire Amount -...

Shockinz: You can either check the "Hide Skills" option on the Spam Controls tab or edit the output message for the specific events you don't want to see it for. Judicate: I believe I've seen that reported as being cause by chatter looking for your name in hidden chat channels that carbonite uses. You can disable the opti...

Posted By: Mikord
Raging_Sage: Yes. MSBT triggers off the events that are reported by the Game client. It's pretty likely that the underlying implementation for the set bonus wasn't implemented by Blizzard in an ideal way and, as a result, isn't reporting with the events you would expect. That's unfortunate, but there isn't much we can do from t...

Houseplant: The %e is the old code from a few version back. It changed to %n, so you have the correct one. The only way to disable the class coloring is through the global option available via the Class Colors button on the General tab.

Posted By: Mikord
Raging_Sage: You're correct that's how the game mechanics work. Instant cast spells are typically categorized as "Cast Success" and spells with a cast time show up as "Cast Start". There isn't really an end marker for cast spells except for the event generated as a result of the spell being cast (i.e heal with a cast time shows...

Funk: No, there isn't a way to change the icons. The ones shown are the icons specified by Blizzard for each skill as a part of the combat log events. I am aware that they do have a slight few of them incorrect. Richerich: 1) The output message can be changed by editing the output message under the event settings for the...

Aisenfaire: There is not. That is a reasonable option for cooldowns, but isn't something I would add for generalized skills and such. dr_AllCOM3: Thanks for the report. I'm aware of the issue and it's already fixed locally. I haven't had a chance to push the new update out yet, but it will most likely be this weekend.

Posted By: Mikord
Deviant: The actual recipient unit of skills with a cast time (signaled via the cast start event) is not reported by the game. It's not until the cast actually afflicts the recipient that this information is reported. Therefore it's not possible to tell if they're really casting against their current target, their focus, or some...

Avast: From the looks of that compilation's UI page, it appears to be using Parrot. You could disable it by removing the Parrot folder from your AddOns folder. VillainsINC: I believe its proc is to deal damage of the same name (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=57352). So it should be just be something like: Skill Damage S...

Fenneddar: No the skill substitutions only apply to the events that appear under the "Events" section. I have considered extending them to cooldown however. Elaundar: Thanks for the information. As you expected, that's going to be a tough one to debug. You're the only person that I know of who has that issue. I'll comb...

Those are instructions for an older version. Here is a copy of my post I made about how to do it with the new custom media editor. Custom media is done through MSBT's in-game custom media editor now. See the "How do I add my own custom sounds?" FAQ entry in the included readme or at MSBT's portal site here: http://www.wowinterf...
