Parrot Modification for Multiboxers

[malachai]

So i've lurked here for a long time and thought i'd share how to get Parrot to show all Party members with all the nice throttling.

Two changes....

/Addons/Parrot/Code/CombatEvents.lua

Change

local function checkForRelevance(sourceFlags, destFlags)
    return bit_band(sourceFlags, FLAGS_RELEVANT) == FLAGS_RELEVANT or
        bit_band(destFlags, FLAGS_RELEVANT) == FLAGS_RELEVANT 
end

to

local function checkForRelevance(sourceFlags, destFlags)
    return bit_band(sourceFlags, FLAGS_RELEVANT) == FLAGS_RELEVANT or
        bit_band(destFlags, FLAGS_RELEVANT) == FLAGS_RELEVANT or bit_band(sourceFlags, COMBATLOG_OBJECT_AFFILIATION_PARTY) or bit_band(destFlags, COMBATLOG_OBJECT_AFFILIATION_PARTY)
end

and

/Addons/Parrot/Data/CombatEvents.lua

Change

local function checkPlayerInc(_, _, _, dstGUID, _, dstFlags)
    return dstGUID == playerGUID
end
local function checkPlayerOut(srcGUID, _, srcFlags)
    return srcGUID == playerGUID
end

to

local function checkPlayerInc(_, _, _, dstGUID, _, dstFlags)
    return dstGUID == playerGUID or checkFlags(dstFlags, AFFILIATION_PARTY)
end
local function checkPlayerOut(srcGUID, _, srcFlags)
    return srcGUID == playerGUID or checkFlags(srcFlags, AFFILIATION_PARTY)
end

What does it do?

Welcome to be forum btw

As I understand it, it will show all party members in parrot's scrolling combat text zone

Nice, I may have to switch to Parrot to give this a try.

Can the same thing be done with MSBT?

I presume Parrot code has changed since this last post on modding parrot?

Yep, there has been two reasonably major code changes to parrot since your 07-29-2009 post.

The biggest change is that it now requires a change to two files, one in the Code directory and one in the Data.

When the update broke it I cycled through some of the alternatives - MSBT, HitsMode5 but ended up coming back to Parrot.

Very cool. Lemme go link to this post from the original.
