Description:

MSBT is designed to be an extremely lightweight, efficient, and highly configurable mod that makes it easier to see combat information by scrolling the information on the screen in separate, dynamically creatable scroll areas. It is a replacement for Blizzard's Floating Combat Text and Damage output.

Features:

- Lightweight and efficient design.

- Scroll incoming damage/heals, outgoing damage/heals, and notifications in separate configurable scroll areas on the playing field.

- Display player and pet cooldown completion alerts.

- Display loot alerts with a total of how many are now in inventory.

- Add triggers that will allow you to show notifications based on a variety of conditions.

- Assign a sound file to play for events/triggers.

- Dynamically create new scroll areas and assign any event/trigger to them.

- Customize the position, size, animation style, enabled state, font style, font size, font outline, and opacity for each of the scroll areas.

- Customize each individual event's color, font style, font size, font outline, opacity, output message, enabled state, and scroll area.

- Set "Master Font" settings that will be inherited by all of the scroll areas and the events in them unless they are overridden at the scroll area or event level.

- Merge AoE data into one event with cumulative damage/healing done with number of normal and crits specified.

- Show overhealing amounts against yourself or party/raid members.

- Color unit names according to their class.

- Color damage amounts according to damage type.

- Show partial effects (resists, absorbs, vulnerabilities, etc) colored according to type.

- Filter output information with a full suite of spam controls.

- Load on demand options.

- For mod developers:

- Output your own scrolling messages with the MikSBT.DisplayMessage function instead of having to create your own frame and animation code. You can also use your own font by first registering it with MSBT via the MikSBT.RegisterFont function.

- Create custom animation styles.

- See the included API.html file for reference information.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes MikScrollingBattleText by _ForgeUser110451. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on CurseForge on 26 October 2026: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/mik-scrolling-battle-text

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on edge.forgecdn.net, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements

Game versions
  • 1.15.4
  • 4.4.0
  • 11.0.2
GAME FLAVOUR

This is a retail (modern World of Warcraft) build. It will not work in the Classic clients, which run a different interface API.

INTERFACE VERSION

Built against game version 1.15.4, 4.4.0, 11.0.2. After a patch, an addon that has not been updated is flagged out of date; most keep working, and the "Load out of date AddOns" checkbox on the character screen lets you try.

DEPENDENCIES

Some addons need a separate library addon (Ace3, LibStub and friends) that is not bundled. If the addon does not appear in the list in game, a missing dependency is the usual reason.

Installation

1. Quit World of Warcraft completely. The game reads the AddOns folder at launch and will overwrite settings for an addon added while it is running.

2. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

3. Move the folder — the one with the .toc file in it, not the zip's wrapper folder — into:

World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns

4. Start the game. On the character selection screen, click AddOns and check that it is listed and enabled.

IF IT DOES NOT APPEAR

Nine times out of ten the folder is nested one level too deep. Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing/Thing.toc will not load; Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing.toc will.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder before unzipping the new one. Unzipping over the top leaves files behind that the new version no longer expects.

This release downloads from edge.forgecdn.net, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
