Floating Combat Text of awesomeness.
Displays Events from the combatlog (damage, healing, ...) as moving text and numbers across the Screen. It also supports various other Events (Loot, Cooldowns, ...). Further Parrot offers a Trigger-system to display Text and play sounds on certain predefined events (e.g. Nightfall for Warlocks).

FAQ
Q: "Parrot is not showing heals, but it's enabled in the options"
A: Since 3.2 WoW displays every full overheal in the combatlog (even for HoTs). That's why Parrot v1.9.0+ contains an option in Events to "Hide full overheals" which is enabled by default to avoid unnecessary spam.
Q: ''I want to use custom fonts and sounds in Parrot, but there are none available'
A: Parrot doesn't provide sounds or additional fonts (only the fonts included in WoW)
For additional fonts and sounds please install SharedMedia.
To use custom sounds and fonts see the "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" in the SharedMedia-folder.
Q: "Whenever I /reload or log back in again, parrot auto-hides blizzard's default outgoing damage text (the one above the mob in question). Is there any way to avoid having to enable blizz's functions all the time?
A: When enabled Parrot manages the settings for Blizzard FCTs damage- and heal-display. You can enable these features to be used with Parrot in the config (General->Game damage/healing)
Q: "Sometimes when Looting stackable items, the stackcount is off. Why isn't this fixed?"
A: The problem is, that the Interface-event for the Loot is sometimes triggered before, and sometimes after the item was put in the bag (depending on lag). If anyone knows a solution that does not involve constantly polling the bags' content, I'm open to suggestions.

profalbert Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:04:41I removed the Rampage-trigger in alpha v1.9.0-beta3-3.
The spell-filter for rampage was put in wrt Ticket #88

rakkarage Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:55:42rampage (the warrior skill) was changed "recently" from an activated ability to a passive ability... there is still a default trigger created for this ability even though it not needed... its also in the spell filters section which maybe filters it out but its not needed in the triggers. thanks

Xandora Sun, 16 Aug 2009 11:41:36Is there a way to have an on focus casting trigger? Much like how bigwigs picks up that Freya is casting ground tremor, is there a way for Parrot to do the same?
- #61
profalbert Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:44:01It goes like that:
The event (SPELL_AURA_APPLIED) is fired for any unit within visible range (not only the target).
Parrot only displays the event if the event occurs while you are targeting it.
So the answer to your example is "no".

lilsparky Sat, 15 Aug 2009 09:19:00do target buff/debuff gain/loss react to changing target?
for example, if a buff is already on a person when i target them, does that fire the buff gain event for that buff?
- #59
profalbert Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:54:54It's the target. It would turn out quite spammy to report every buff gain of evey enemy.
If you would like such a feature (for arena I suppose) feel free to create a ticket with a feature request.

lilsparky Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:45:40are the "target gains buff" events literally just your target or should that be more like "enemy gains buff"?
