[Addon] MikScrollingBattleText [Continued]

Recommended Posts

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 scroll areas. It is a replacement for Blizzard's Floating Combat Text and Damage output.

Hi, great addon.

 

Is it possible to somehow show an event when Rogue/Warrior Sword Specialization procs? I know it has an entry in the combat log, so I was hoping it was possible to show via notification or outgoing, perhaps even a trigger event?

 

Thanks in advance

@Unclegao what language is your game in ? haven't been able to reproduce yet

@Porta You can modify the scroll areas and make them taller to adjust the curve

@istalker555 MSBT don't support that natively yet but this could be a good idea for a future update, if you have another addon that gives this kind of notification it is very easy to make it use MSBT areas as an output for the notification

@Corrozus From what I remember when we looked at it on Nost there were no special entry in the combat log the proc was given as a white hit as every others and there were no way to tell it was a proc but maybe we missed something, can you send me a screenshot with the proc visible in the SWStats console ? (it displays more stuff than the combatlog depending of the configuration) -> http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/01/1483880862-swconsole.png

I've been using this mod pretty much all the time and I have a good configuration going, but some built options I can't disable are really bothering me.

The first thing (which isn't a huge deal) is this: I spent some time going through the color options in the incoming/outgoing damage section to be more in line with the ingame damage colors, but spell damage colors don't change even if I edit in the menu. It just stays on the built in spell damage colors for shadow, holy, etc. I can't seem to change it.

The second thing and this is the biggest problem for me right now is this: I can't stand spell icons, and again, this option is non-configurable. I managed to find the string in the lua and delete the spell icon stuff, it took a bit to get it to work, but I finally managed it. That is until I decided to make a rogue. It was working all fine and dandy until I got my stealth skill. Now every spell and notification displays the stealth skill icon beside it. I can't fix it at all. I have to disable MSBT for my rogue.

I've pretty much exhausted all my personal options outside contacting the maker of the mod, that being you Athene (at least your edit), and I know both these things are able to be disabled in the current live option of MSBT. That being said, is there anything I can do to change this?

As far as I can tell these problems don't exist when I play my hunter or lock (besides spell damage colors)

tl;dr 

No disable option for spell icons and spell damage colors. Also rogue spell icons bugged out after I deleted the connected code in the lua file (Warlock and Hunter work fine, haven't tested other classes).

Hi.
I want to display only healing with the MSBT and the damage with the default UI text, but after each game restart \ re-logon default UI damage text is getting disabled in the interface menu. Any chance to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Athene!

Thanks for your work on this addon!

For some reason all my class-specific outgoing messages are in French for my Paladin.  I am playing on an English client and it seems to be ok with my other characters.  Is there someplace I can change this?  I didn't see any language choices in the options.

Also very minor, but my fiance plays a Hunter and when she uses Track Humanoids it shows the spell icon for Track Beasts in the Notification scroll.

Thank you again for MSBT! :)

Hi, thank you for your feedback,

Do you know exactly what messages are in french ? like dodge, parry ?

You should try to create a new profile for your paladin in /msbt and then loading it to have all values set to default and then see if it fixes it.

I located the problem with the hunter tracking but it comes from a library used by MSBT, I'll have to make a new revision for this library and make sure it won't interfere with other addons because any other addon using this lib could erase the changes I'll make.

All new patches to MSBT will start rolling as soon as I reach 60, I already need to catch up on my guild mates :<

I did some more research and it looks like the only time I'm getting French is when I add %s to an outgoing damage ability.  Specifically, Retribution Aura is showing as "Aura de Vindicte" when it damages mobs.  Other pally messages seem ok (e.g. Notifications).  I completely wiped my SavedVariables luas for MSBT and it didn't help.  Thanks again.

@Athene I love this addon even still use it on retail. My question is I cannot get the default exp text to go away. I may be working with an outdated version and I should probably try that before posting here but I was wondering if this is an issue with your version as well?

Hi,

Only way I know about to hide the +xp text is to make the game uses a blank font for the blizzard game damage text, this will hide the damage text over enemy's head and hide the XP and the Honorable kills text (it's all or nothing unfortunatly).

Adding it to the todo list ;)
