Description:
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.
Features:
- Lightweight and efficient design.
- Scroll incoming damage/heals, outgoing damage/heals, and notifications in separate configurable scroll areas on the playing field.
- Display player and pet cooldown completion alerts.
- Display loot alerts with a total of how many are now in inventory.
- 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 unit names according to their class.
- 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.

Posted Jul 31, 2018Heads-up for the developers:
The "Low Mana!" warning wasn't working. At line 1344 in MSBTProfiles.lua, changing UNIT_POWER to UNIT_POWER_UPDATE has fixed it.

Posted Jul 21, 2018It's working on 8.0 but Crusader Strike is not registering on outgoing. Hammer of Wrath only registers occasionally. None of the white damage registers
EDIT::: People you need to go into /msbt and lower the damage and healing thresholds to 0. With the damage compression in 8.0 some spell wont register unless set to zero

Posted Jul 21, 2018Hey,
Any way we can get the MSBT options frame strata to be higher? Every release I go in and fiddle with it to get the frame and buttons to sit on top of everything else in my UI, but I would love if it was just built in!
For reference, the frame itself sits behind many of my UI elements, but the buttons sit on top of them. I resolve it by adding 'mainFrame:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")' to MSBTOptionsMain.lua, line 157

Posted Jul 3, 2018I was hoping this was open source so I could submit a pull request but I would love the ability to change the Killing Blow sound effect based on the ability that killed the player, for example an Execute kill says something different than a Mortal Strike kill.

Posted May 8, 2018Merge Swings option is not working correctly for spells that have a mainhand and offhand attack that hit at the same time, e.g. Frost DK Obliterate and Frost Strike, Enhance Shaman Stormstrike, etc. Its currently just showing these as 2 different damage events because they are technically 2 different spell IDs now. Having the Merge Swings option work correctly for these spells would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks.

Posted Feb 14, 2018How can I disable mod? Doesnt let me. Please fix the fact that if we disable MSBT, you can go back to the normal Combat Text. Whenever you install MSBT and then disable it to go back to original combat text, it gets completely disabled and you can't see any damage text unless you go through your file folders and do a bunch of shit. You should just be able to disable the addon and be able to see what you used to. Fix it.
