ZSBT (Zore’s Scrolling Battle Text)

Overview
ZSBT is a modern scrolling combat text addon for WoW Retail (12.x) built for today’s API restrictions.

If you want combat text that stays stable in open world and group content, ZSBT prioritizes correctness and “secret value” safety while still giving you deep control over layout, routing, and spam.

Why ZSBT?
- Built for Retail 12.x restrictions (avoids taint/blocked-action patterns)
- Multiple independent scroll areas with MSBT-style animation engine
- Strong spam control (merge/throttle/thresholds) so big pulls stay readable
- Custom alerts system (Notifications + Cooldowns + Triggers)

Core combat text
- Incoming damage/healing (thresholds, misses, overheal options)
- Outgoing damage/healing (thresholds, misses, auto-attack options)
- Optional: use Blizzard Floating Combat Text for outgoing only (keep ZSBT incoming + alerts)
- Crit emphasis: separate crit configuration blocks + sticky crit styling

Scroll areas & animations
- Unlimited scroll areas (move/size/anchor)
- Animation styles: Parabola, Fireworks, Waterfall, Straight, Static
- Per-area font override (or use master font)

Alerts & notifications
- Notifications system with per-category toggles
- Loot alerts (items/money/currency) with templates + filters
- Trade skill alerts (skill ups + learned recipes/spells)

Interrupt Alerts (new)
- Successful interrupts + cast-stopping stuns/CC (optional)
- Templates:
  - %t = target
  - %s = your stopping ability
- One shared config block for routing/style/sound
- Optional local chat output for successful interrupts (prints to your chat frame)
