Parrot - WoW AddOns - WowAce.com

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.

"Seems like any time a GCD is up, I get Balance Tree Ready! Feral Combat Tree Ready! Restoration Tree Ready! Some other folks are having similar problems."

Yes, same here with shadowform.

Seems like any time a GCD is up, I get
Balance Tree Ready!
Feral Combat Tree Ready!
Restoration Tree Ready!

Some other folks are having similar problems.

Excuse me, I wanna to join in the localization in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. But I don't know how to use the SVN system now. I know that you are using a kind of Linux system called "git". But it seems that the git cannot work well in Windows(Simplified Chinese version).

Im not getting errors, but wierd display, as melee class (rogue), the damage is displaying with an extra (1 Resist) every line, not sure how to fix this.

Also crit/glancing is still mixed. That means crits are labled as glancing and vice versa. I also get on many (direct) spell damage spells (1 resisted damage, value can differe a bit but very low).

I was wondering if there is a way to filter a little more finely than "skill damage". Mainly on my rogue I don't really want to see my poison damage, but would like to see Sinister Strike.
