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!
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?
Hey my friend. I think u forgot 'overpower' for warrior. It's my setting, FYI.
I think revenge and overpower should be enabled by default. It has class limitition and will not disturb other classes
is there a better way to condense all eyebeam damage into one event? the first tic of my eyebeam always appears, then after the duration is over it displays the rest of the damage minus the first tic
it would be awesome if eyebeam (and azerite beam essence) would dynamically tic up in damage as the channel progresses, every tic of eyebeam updates the damage event until the end
what is the / command to customize parrot 2 in game for classic?
In reply to trungulu:
/parrot
/par
The problem is that neither work. Parrot does not show up in the game's AddOns list, and the Interface\AddOns Options is empty as well.
In reply to Myrroddin:
I think you probably have the wrong version downloaded. On here, download the version dedicated for Classic. I had the one for Retail - it was working but couldn't open any options. Later found out there was actually another version for Classic but the Twitch app doesn't install that, it installed the Retail version. Make sure you have the Classic version and then the options and everything will show.
In reply to fallen_horror:
At the time of my answer, the Classic version of Parrot wasn't available, and the Retail version, if installed in Classic, was broken. Parrot for Classic is working just fine now, thank you! :)
nvm.
No spell icons are display in classic var
Also waiting for classic
Also waiting for classic
classic version :(
Classic? Nothing easier than that:
In WoW (NOT classic) you have all the options to configure Parrot as you wish.
Save all the changes to a specific profile. Just make sure to remember to which profile you save your data.
Afterwards, browse for your Parrot.lua file:
(in my case)
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\ ***YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME*** \SavedVariables\Parrot.lua
Open the file in an text editor and search for the saved profile section.
Copy the according lines and paste it into CLASSIC file.
(in my case)
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_\WTF\Account\ ***YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME*** \SavedVariables\Parrot.lua
Save and start your WoW Classic client.
Done!
(before doing any changes, a backup is always recommended)
classic please
Any way to customise it ingame?
Sincerely hope parrot can support classic!
eternal love offered for classic port <3
