The trigger system has significantly changed with this release to support the Patch 2.4 combat log changes. Please take the time to read the Trigger System Documentation section of the included readme.html file.



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.

See a feature overview video updated for 5.0! Decent Quality Stream:

http://www.vimeo.com/741570

Note: This video is of version 5.0 and is out of date - specifically regarding triggers. It is still a good overview of the mod however. Make sure to click the Full button on the bottom right of the video to view it full screen!

Features:

  • Lightweight and efficient design.
  • Scroll incoming damage/heals, outgoing damage/heals, and notifications in separate configurable scroll areas on the playing field.
  • 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 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.

    Mik:

    That would indeed make sense, thanks. I’m looking forward to your next version. I have similar triggers set up for pummel and viper sting and none are working at this time. I know viper sting is a debuff…

    Anyway, I’ve been using quartz in the mean time but personally I really enjoy the sound triggers… one less thing I have to stare at. Thanks.

    I love MSBT, excellent work.

    Is there a way to increase the size of the fonts higher than 32?

    Alabasterblack:

    As has been stated several times, that will be fixed with the next rev.

    Proob:

    If there is no debuff associated with it, as in the case of a non-improved kick, it wouldn't show up. I'm rewriting the trigger system atm, so that type of thing is once again possible.

    Setrix:

    I've seen it posted on several occasions that WitchHunt is the mod causing that. There is an option for "target" only or something along those line within its configuration.

    Yea, I still can't get my kick and pummel triggers to work. Setting up first as respective class (rogue/warrior) then debuff applied and you (hostile unchecked). I believe this statement is supposed to say, when a rogue/war applies kick/pummel to you (me) fire this trigger.

    Using proper filenames and skill names... any thoughts?

    Feral Druid, I get the low mana warning in cat form, either when switching into form or when my energy drops from use. Very annoying and distracting. I have removed this mod until this is sorted out.

    H0PE:

    That'll be fixed in the next rev.

    Deagol:

    Is there no longer a combat log event for it? If so, please send me a PM with the log message so I can see why it isnt' registering.

    Akroth:

    Make sure you download the latest version (5.11). Anything prior to version 5.1 won't work anymore as of Patch 2.4.

    Enliven / Maxion / Altreus:

    I'm reworking the trigger system to allow anything that goes to the combat log to be triggered on versus having presets like it is now. Once I finish that, if there is a combat log event for it, you'll be able to trigger on it.

    Loving this addon Mikk :)

    Before the patch, i used to have an awesome trigger that would tell me what debuff i had cleansed from people when i was playing my paladin. I've had a read through the guide on how to make new triggers but i cant seem to make it work this time :(

    Same goes for my meta gem trigger, when i gain 300 mana from mana restore thats not displaying either, hopefully it's just a stupid error on my part.

    Can you provide any help?

    Much appreciated mate, keep up the good work ;)

    Would it be possible to remake the search function you used to have to create custom events? This would allow people to fix such things as Dar Pact not showing up at all.
    Also I would like to be able to add events for my party's damage, or specifically named players in some occasions, it seems this mod can currently only relate to the player, it's pet, target and focus. Adding the search function would let me add these events myself, but support for adding my name or party etc would be much appreciated.

    Otherwise a great mod with good potential, or at least it used to have that.

    Will the new trigger system allow us to post dispels that we do to chat e.g. <player>'s Arcane Shot dispelled <player>'s <buff>.

    This feature is part of the Shaman Friend mod, shows what got purged, I thinks it's rly cool. Would love to see it in MSBT via triggers.

    In the former version (pre 2.4) gaining mana from the imp (via "dark pakt") shows up like "life tap". Although playing around with configuring it as a new skill (Buff Application) it doesn't show up anything (no +mana skillname).
    Is this not possible anymore to show up this text?
    Any suggestions would be very helpful.
    Thanks in advance

    Request: If druid changing form is there any ways not to register it as "loosing mana to 0%"? Please? Many thanks!
