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.
Questions
If you need help with some option, trigger, or whatever use the Parrot-forum on wowace for any questions you might have (please no bug-reports).
Feature Requests
To make a feature Request please use the ticket-system.
Before making a feature Request please make sure that the current alpha does not contain the feature already.
Also check if there is a similar feature request among the open tickets already (and maybe join the discussion there).
This does not apply to throttled events (check options for Events->Throttle Events.
So if you have damage throttle set to 3 seconds, all events will show 3 seconds after the first one occured.

I'm planning to disable comments on curse completely. This does not apply for wowace-comments (for now).
But I encourage everyone to use the new forum for asking questions.
All these comments with questions and feature-requests. It's quite confusing.
The new forum on wowace [1] will be the replacement. You can use your curse-account to login (no additional registration should be required).
Don't hesitate to repost any unanswered question in this forum. An answer is more likely there.

i cant figure out how to hide the text that constantly tells me of the changes in my finding skills, and i would like to.
any help would be appreciated.
What I want to do is change it so the Pet heals have the +heal before the rest of the message. At the moment it's something like Pet Healed (Pet name - owner name) +heals. When I throw a healing stream totem, its something like Pet Healed (Healing Stream Totem - Kestrian) +476 (Name). Half the time, the +heal goes off the edge of my screen.
Does Parrot have an option to reconfigure the way it does this? I looked at the tag thing, which looked for a bit like it was what I was after, but after editing it with no change, I can't find anything else that would do this.
My Parrot doesn't display the icon or the name of the Cooldown Ready. What can be the problem? I tried to put [Skill] and [Skillname] in the 'Tag' field but that didn't help. Cooldown threshhold doesn't affect this bug neither. What am I doing wrong?
Thank You!
1. Bug. Loot. It says I have 1 more of whatever I get, like if I get a Cardinal Ruby from the vendor, it'll say "Cardinal Ruby (2)" but I only have 1, none in the bank or anything. It does this with ALL my loot, whenever I log onto my Mage and make Mage food stacks, it always says I have 40 when I only have 20, or 80 when I only have 60. It's weird, I looked into the Text to display it in the settings and it's default and all normal.
2. How do you change it so that it can tell me exactly what I'm doing damage/healing? I want to fix it so that it doesn't lag for 3 seconds and then say "8,000 damage, 2 crits, 1 hit) how can I make it show each hit separately?
Hello, just started playing with this addon and have so far loved it.
Everything that has been programmed for it is working fine just figured i would try and create a personal trigger.
And that is where i got lost.
Trying to set up a trigger that reacts to an item cooldown, however this item isn't a trinket. It would be the Tinkered engineering attachment [hyperspeed Accelerators] and no matter which settings i attempt to use i cannot get it to react.
Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. I have tried both counting it as an item cooldown tied to the spell name hyperspeed accelerators (and accelerator, the technical spell name), as well as a spell ready condition. Finally, i also tried using the actual item name (Gloves of the Argent Fanatic) under the item cooldown condition to no avail.
Obviously something i'm doing wrong and if you could advise would be awesome.
Even if it isn't possible still awesome so thank you.
Boopsi
Is it possible to make some kind of filters which say for example you add the spell starfall or hurricane to make it group the damage together more than it does by default? only groups like 3 at the time, want it to group like 10 on starfall and hurricane.
Tnx for help.
