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.

How do you import or know where to find the "Font Path" for the "Times New Roman" Font.
Great app, have used this for years!, is there a planned update getting repeated LUA errors, the same as previously posted by Wildbodom on January 14th
This is really very good addon. I love it. But I want to see my crits much bigger. My crit fon size 38 right now ( max ) however it is still very small. Is there any way to change it .
Would love to see a general update for this addon, or an alternative forked. Would donate! Thanks.
When I turn on damage throttle while numbers are grouped, it doesn't show higher numbers than the throttle. Example: rampage does 5x500 damage, the throttle is at 1000, then it won't be shown because the initial numbers are throttled rather than the sum, which would've been 2500.
Another issues is with Whirlwind, where it doesn't include all swings into the grouping. Same seems to be with Condemn, it shows 2 hits. I know that Details! shows 1 of those as off-hand, though no idea why.
Another issue is that when you use skill name substitutions, you still can't group up skills from off-hands
Any word on an update; or does anyone have a fix for this addon? (for changes due to SL release)
Does anyone encounter the same bug as me?
Description:
After leaving an arena match (3v3), the default blizzard arena frame for enemies is showing permanently below the mini map on the top right corner, and there is no way to turn it off.
I also use Gladius.
The bug goes away when I disable MSBT
This is what I get whenever I turned MSBT on. It's gone when I turn MSBT off.

I get this error constantly:
How can i add a sound?
I put the sound in the past sound, bet when i open the game the addon just cant find it ;-;
Hey, can you implement a custom media option for poison damage? Is there a way to achieve this?
Hey, thanks for updating the addon to work with classic!
I have tried to change the Low Mana % to something other than 35% and by doing so something breaks and it doesn't work at all.
Trying to set it to power change doesn't work either.
I had to go to the lua, check how it's set by default and change it to the number I wanted in the script to make it work the way I want
Just letting you know that this is a problem :)
In reply to Jurikan1:
I think I found a similar issue as well.
I've made a trigger for warrior, which should alert me when my rage is 80 or above.
Trigger classes:
Warrior
Main event is set to ''Power Change'' and the event conditions are:
Power Type - Is Equal To - Rage
Unit ID - Is Equal To - You
Amount - Is Greater than - 80
Trigger exceptions are:
Trigger recently fired - is less than - 5
These conditions should work, but I never get the sound or text notification from it.
How can i fix that, MSBT Count wrong quantitys from collectet herbs?
In reply to Yasinah:
I'm in IT but not specifically a programmer. I looked at the code and the WOW API GetItemCount does not appear to always return the correct number of the item you have in inventory. I'm not sure if it is a timing issue or if there is a better API to use for it. I notice when it is wrong, and then I try the same command in chat I get the right value in chat just not in MSBT. Maybe someone that knows the code better can make a suggestion.
In reply to Yasinah:
Ya, this has been an issue for years. I don't even remember if it ever worked properly and I've used MSBT since WOTLK (I think). I doubt it's simple to fix since author hasn't fixed it yet. Would be awesome if we could get one though.
In reply to Yasinah:
hello? need help pls :(
@Resike
Any chance you can add better spam controls? By that i mean that we can input amount directly-slider isnt best way to set them up and its hard to hit value that i want.
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.
