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.

I reinstalled it and it seems to be working fine for me now.
Could this be updated because since Shadowlands went live on the 23rd of November it no longer works for me.
Since shadowlands has dropped the addon does not work on retail. Could you please advise on how to fix this or an update/patch is needed.
As of 9.0.2, it appears that the (total) looted items count displays one number higher than it should.
In reply to Intervencion:
Some items, anyway. I noticed this while doing the Ironforge fishing daily, "Fish fer Squrky". It shows the quest item "Blind Minnow" at 1 more than I actually have, but shows the other regular fish with the correct count.
Hello, MSBT stopped working for me since shadowlands went live, any idea how I can fix it? Are there known conflicts with some addons?
I've been using this for a while in Classic and was looking to see if you could change the thresholds for the spam filter in classic as and increment of 400 is much to large and the top threshold is 1,000,000 which is ridiculous.
I tried looking through the code to see if I could locate and change the variables but didn't see anything obvious.
Even if you could direct me to the lines and quantities to change that would be great.
hello would it be possible to display the damages as a percent ?
for example, if a melee attack inflicts 100 and if i have 1000hp, would it be possible for the addon to display 10% instead ?
If yes, how can I set it up please ?
Hello, just want to say I love your addon and appreciate the work you do. I'm having an issue with the spam control options, if I click on either "throttle list" or "skill suppresion", the window that pops up seems to be a layer behind where it should be, which prevents me from clicking the Okay or Cancel buttons.
I've only been using this for a day or two and I absolutely love it! There is just one problem though. It seems to take the attempts out of my chat from Rarity. Sometimes I don't catch msbt fast enough to see what attempts I'm on as it scrolls. I haven't had anything pop up yet, but I don't want it to and not be able to see my stuff from Rarity in the chat....is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: Nevermind! If anyone else happens to have this problem - just go to Rarity and change the output back to "chat"!
I can't seem to open the options of menu for this addon. Everytime I type /msbt, I get the following error:
MSBT:Couldn't load MSBTOptions: Disabled.
I tried deleting, re-installing the addon, no go.
In reply to j00kah:
Make sure `MSBTOptions` addon is also enabled.
Is it possible to change the scroll area for specific skills? I would like to separate the damage from Flametongue, Windfury and Lightning Shield out from my general skill scroll, but there doesn't seem to be an option.
Also Maelstrom Weapon and Stormbringer, along with many others, aren't showing under Triggers.
FAQ link doesn't work.
My husband is having issues with the sounds. Only one toon (hunter) has all the chosen correct sounds when triggered, the others do not. I have set the others with hunter as default but, they still do not work and those toons that do not work correctly, do not have all the sounds to choose from. An example of that is, we can hear/see Xlyo, bells, your own 3 sounds, but when he choose War Drums or Alganon-Beware, IF they are even is showing in dropdown list, it does not work. Some toons have less sounds then the others in the drop down list.
We added sounds, like "Unstoppable" it shows in the drop down, the path is correct but it not working.
I have all their sounds, I added others and they work, BUT I have to have default on all toons set for one toon, my mage. I,, like him, can not set any toon with their own setting.
We removed MSBT, reinstalled it and removed all the Saved Varables for his the faulty toons but only the hunter works.
We've been using MSBT since it's beginning and are totally lost without it.
Any help would be great TIA
In reply to Rhazzledazle:
The sounds are registeded via `https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libsharedmedia-3-0` other enabled addons can also register sounds which will show up in the dropdown menus, or your can create your own sounds on the custom media tab:
In reply to Resike:
Right, Prat is in there, that's where the xylo, bells and chimes are form. Lib shared media is up to date, so id DBM, all are in fact. The problem is he is ONLY hearing the xylo, bells, etc., on all this toons, but those toons do NOT have War Drums, Alganon, Scourge horn etc., ONLY his hunter does. We've added custom sounds like Unstoppable or Killilng Spree, Domination, but he can not hear any of them on any toon except this hunter. They show up, hit the play button but no sound.
In reply to Rhazzledazle:
Are these toons share the same `Interface/AddOns` folder and MSBT profile?
All of those sounds are from Prat however Prat is still not updated for Shadowlands, and if the hunter toon is using less Prat modules which doesn't trigger any error all of the sound registration from Prat would go throught properly. However if it fails on the other toons because of different enabled Prat modules it might not pick up all the sound files it needs to register.
Here is a quickly hacked Prat for 9.0.1, which might solve this issue:

In reply to Resike:
Correct, those sound are from Prat and they work on all toons. He does have the version (3.8.26-3-g1f17b47) you posted the link for, that was installed 9/1/20 from here, Twitch/Curse. You said MSBT sounds are registered with Lib Shared Media 3.0.1, and we have that version, I was acknowledging that I knew that, so I mentioned Prat, DBM, etc.
To answer your question, yes, all his toons share the same folder, "Interface\AddOns\MikScrollingBattleText\Sounds\......", just like they share all the files/folders in Interface\AddOns for all his addons.
His hunter sounds all work fine, he has all of the sounds Prat offers, he has War Drums, Alganon-Beware, etc., we added Unstoppable, Domination, etc,. We can see all them in the drop down window and they all work.
The problem is on all his other toons. The ONLY sounds that show in the dropdown and work ARE from Prat and the 3 sounds (LH, LM & CD) from MSBT, NONE of the other are there.
He set all those toons as the hunter for default, but there is no change, they all stay the same as before...that is the problem.
He removed the MSBT Saved Variables (SV) from his Rogue, put in his hunters MSBT SV, that did not work.
He renamed his entire/main SV for all toons, logged into the hunter, all worked, we saved MSBT SV from there, put the renamed back, added the newest single MSBT to that, got on the Rogue, it did not work.
Before 9.0.1 update/change everything worked, he had all the sounds, since then only the hunter is working....that is the problem.
We've been playing since the start of WoW, so we know better then to change anything in-game with new expansions, updates, we wait for addon/mod updates. In fact we log into Twitch every evening before we log in the game to be sure any updates are added.
What ever is going on, the other toons are not seeing the hunter as default or even the sounds we added, just what Prat offers and the 3 MSBT ones. .
In reply to Rhazzledazle:
This feels like a saved variable issue, since all of the sounds seems to work on all of my characters properly. If you send me the WTF folder which having this issue i could take a look.
