  Hi, I've been using MSBT for a couple of years now, great addon, thank you for developing it. However, there is a "bug" that I've found. When an incoming hit is blocked and absorbed, it only shows the amount absorbed, it does not show the amount of damage that was also blocked. I have checked the combat log, it appears to provide that information, below is a line copied from my combat log

  Combat Log displays: Apprehensive Worker's melee swing hits Avirar for 361 Physical.(1507 Blocked) (562 Absorbed)

  MSBT displays: -361 <562 absorbed>

  What i want MSBT to display: -361 <1507 blocked> <562 absorbed>

  or

   -361 <2096 mitigated>

  Is it possible for MSBT to show the amount blocked along with the amount absorbed?

  Another bug: Normally, without addons, "Random Battleground Found" window appears and gives a sound notice. With this addon (including 4.1 updates) enabled, however, it appears and emits a sound a few times in a row - it's impossible to hide the window or leave the queue while it is happening, because it is re-enabling. Thus, player has to wait for it to calm down (usually 2-3 seconds). It happens only with this addon enabled.

  Is it only me?

  4.1 changes you need to change line 344 in MSBTParser.lua parameter hideCasters needs to be added at position 3

  should look like this afterwards:

  local function ParseLogMessage(timestamp, event, hideCasters, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, recipientGUID, recipientName, recipientFlags, ...)

  @pornstar0269: Go

  There's a fan update for this over on WowInterface. =)

  there's a lot of post 4.1 issues, most likely due to this:

  (Sticky) Patch 4.1: Addon Messages Will Be Filtered

  Quote from BugSack:

  65x "MikScrollingBattleText-5.5.91\MSBTParser.lua:161:
  bad argument #1 to "bit_band" (number expected, got string)
  Locals:
  unitFlags = "Etera"
  testFlags = 273
  bit_band = <func> =[C]:-1

  I'm not able to find any mention of a feature like this anywhere, so I figured I'd post it!

  Is there any chance of being able to set the damage text to show as percentages instead of actual values? As in, if you take damage/healing it would show "8%" instead of "9348"; And if you were to do damage, it would show the damage/healing you did in % based on the target's max health.

  I could see where it would get confusing if you had DoTs/HoTs on multiple targets - but the addon can already tell what's coming from where, so if you had it set to display in % it would take the HoT/DoT tick from the 2+ targets, figure out that it did 2% to one and 3% to another, and just show you 5%. Alternatively if you aren't throttling DoTs at all, it would just show the 2% and 3% independently.

  Anyway, just a thought (and something I'd love). Honestly I find seeing the exact damage numbers in combat isn't helpful at a quick glance because you have to think "okay, I did 12k damage, so that would be roughly 18% of his health...", and when you're getting spammed by numbers you normally end up tuning them out because they're meaningless - they just look cool.

  Nothing bad about the addon though, I use it and love it! I just think an option to display numbers in % would be beyond awesome!

  And, if you want it to work after the changes to the combat log in 4.1, do this.

  Edit line 344 of MSBTParser.lua to:

  local function ParseLogMessage(timestamp, event, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, recipientGUID, recipientName, recipientFlags, ...)

  and edit line 698 of MSBTTriggers.lua to

  local function HandleCombatLogTriggers(timestamp, event, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, recipientGUID, recipientName, recipientFlags, ...)

  To make MSBT v5.5.91 work with the new Sound API and play the alerts even when sound effects are disabled, modify the following files:

  MikScrollingBattleText\MSBTAnimations.lua(Line 376): PlaySoundFile(soundFile,"Master")

  MSBTOptions\MSBTOptionsPopups.lua(Line 2145): PlaySoundFile(soundFile,"Master")

  MSBTOptions\MSBTOptionsTabs.lua(Line 479): PlaySoundFile(soundFile,"Master")
