This is a continuation of Parrot! I started a personal fork in early Mist of Pandaria and have been slowly rewritting it since. Installing this should overwrite the directory for the original Parrot and continue to use your existing settings. If you have problems, just delete the Parrot directory at Interface/AddOns/Parrot and reinstall Parrot 2.
Floating Combat Text of awesomeness.
Displays combat (damage, healing, auras) events as well as other events (loot, cooldown available, power change, repuation, kills, and more) as moving text and numbers across the screen.
Parrot also offers a trigger system to display messages and play sounds in reaction to a variety of things, like gaining a buff or dodging an attack.
FAQ
Q: I created a custom trigger doing <something>. Is it worthy to be in Parrot's default triggers?
A: If you want to contribute a trigger that is useful for your class, please post a ticket where you describe the conditions you used set it up and I'll look at including it.
Q: Parrot is not showing heals, but it's enabled in the options.
A: WoW displays every full overheal in the combat log (even for HoTs). There is an option in Events to "Hide full overheals," which is enabled by default to avoid unnecessary spam.
Q: How do I to use custom fonts and sounds in Parrot?
A: Parrot doesn't provide sounds or additional fonts (only the fonts included in WoW). For additional fonts and sounds please install SharedMedia. If you want to include your own custom sounds and fonts see the "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" in the SharedMedia folder.
Q: Whenever I reload or log back in again, Parrot hides Blizzard's default outgoing damage text (the one above the mob in question). Is there a way to avoid having to re-enable Blizzard's options all the time?
A: When enabled, Parrot manages the settings for Blizzard's floating combat text. You can manage these settings in the Parrot config.
Q: Why is the stack count sometimes off when looting stackable items?
A: The problem is that the event for loot is triggered before or after the item was put in the bag depending on lag and may not have updated yet when we check the item's count.

Please use the ticket system or create a pull request. I'm pretty terrible at keeping up with comments, so the best way to get my attention is by submitting a new issue on GitHub. Thanks!
Hey there,
love your addon and really appreciate your efforts in maintaining this. =)
I just have two questions: How do I change classcolors? I already installed whoaBlueShamans but they still show up pink here. Second: Is there a way to summarize certain spells which share a cooldown? As a shaman all shock spells are listed while I would rather have a "Shocks ready!" notification.
Also some cooldowns don't show in the notification area. I'm not certain which or when they are not announced as ready but this is something I noticed.
Thanks again and looking forward hearing from you.
Not really broken for me. The only thing thats annoying is "Parrot: Trigger spell missing: 216413" appearing at login. Its a paladin spell that got removed and reintroduced with a new ID. I deleted the trigger but it keeps coming back somehow.
cant open the config and set this up as it does nothing. please anyone know the fix for it?
I'm sorry but i can not figure out how to pull up the setting menu ingame
what is the / command for that?
please and thanks!
Can I display amount of mana income/gain from stats and mp5? Is it even possible in WoW Classic?
For some reason I'm unable to make it track some spells. I thought it was because of threshold, but no. I've set threshold to 5 seconds for example and Kidney Shot is being tracked (addon tells me when it's ready), but Distract is not. Stealth is not and so on. Filters are also all clear. Any idea how to fix that?
is there a way to add a trigger based off of an extra attack? (hand of justice for example)
hello
just wondering if its possible to add the on hit damage from items such as nagelring, hand of ragnaros, esence of the pure flame etc?
I've tried creating my own trigger for Essence of pure flame using the spell id 23266 but not exactly sure which conditions to use.
thanks :D
Is there a way to offset just the Sticky animations like Pow/Pow2 without changing the position of the entire scroll area? It's not where I want it relative to the normal text.
Also, what is the proper way to merge attacks like Obliterate that hit twice? I haven't been able to figure out anything that works.
Is there a way to disable outgoing stagger damage? Incoming is fine but outgoing stagger suggests Im damaging myself which doesnt make sense to me.
Any way to shorten numbers? Instead of seeing things like 1000000 (Spell XY) like 1,0M (spell xy)
I mean with such huge numbers you can't even read things in time ^^
In classic version there are no spell icons on the incoming scrolling area is there any way to fix this?
The overheal from echo of chi-ji in vale of the eternal blossoms is showing even when overheals are disabled.
Sorry if this is a stupid question: is there a way (being a tank) to collapse dmg taken? For example showing the amount of dmg I take every second and not every hit? Also, how do I only show actual dmg taken a not blocked/absorbed/etc one? Thanks in advance
In reply to Durnix_gaming:
You can set this in "Events > Throttle Events"
In reply to Forge_User_07973015:
Thanks mate
Is there a way to reduce the numbers? for example to display 2000 as 2k or something like that.
Edit: Nvm im stupid, its in the "Event" section for those wondering.
I am a shaman in Classic Wow, but I am not seeing when my totems do damage. Also, when I do chain lightning, it only shows the combined total of damage instead of damage done to each target. Is there a way to separate the damage done to each mob?
Hi,
Since I downloaded Parrot, if I ever want to come back to blizzard floating combat text, my wind furies and hand of justice bonus hit do not show (only 1 out of 2 or 3 auto melee hit is showed), I tried everything, total reinstallation, reset all interface option etc etc.. My request to blizzard didn't help, may be some one have an idea of what happened and how to solve that
I am using v2.18-classic1 in Classic and the Parrot seems to steadfastly refuse reacting to any spell ready event on my mage. The configs are identical to the ones I'm using on Priest (bar spell name and class selection), but I simply cannot get them to fire. Anything I might be overlooking here?
