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.

combo points: should be already fixed in a beta version as far as I know and read from the ticket with the ID 30 regarding "Rogue combo points do not display"
Hi,
does anyone see combo point gains? Since the patch it seems to be gone for me! I'm using the german client.
Balance tree ready!
Feral tree ready!
Restoration tree ready!
Like I said.... mounting, shapeshifting, casting spells all cause this. So essentially every button I click I get uncontrollable spam across my screen. Like the poster above said... any known solutions? Maybe something in the preferences I'm missing? Why would this SUDDENLY happen?
Thanks

Anyone have any idea why? And how to resolve this?
If this keeps happening create a ticket on http://www.wowace.com/projects/parrot/tickets/
How might i go about using suppressions so that all output is just the icon and the amount healed/damaged? I've tried [name] and [ability] but that strips even the icon. I really dont want to have to go thru each event and modify the existing string.
Not sure I'm following the Usage correctly: <Buff Name>.<Number of Stacks>
Should this be: <Maelstrom Weapon>.<5>
I also added it to the default triggers (which only get created when resetting the profile)
the usage would be
Maelstrom Weapon,5
no spaces or brackets

Also, how do I add a sound to triggers; currently there are none available.
Is it possible to create a trigger with the new Overkill Combat Log Option?
