Parrot
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: "I created a custom Trigger doing <something>. Is it worthy to be in parrots default triggers?"
A: In many cases it is. If you want to contribute a custom trigger to be added to the default triggers, please post a ticket where you describe *exactly* how you set it up. I can't figure that out for every class and every spec.
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.

Any update on this?
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 am also having the the same critical issue. My stickies won't crit and I believe it's because parrot isn't correctly picking them up as crits.

Sad... :(
since the last update I do get lua error messages 'ismoduleactive' a nil value.
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.
Awesome.
excellent one, will replace SCT so far , it is as Chatter is for Prat
cool I will try that instead of SCT, Im a ckk addicted heh :)
