    MSBT and Synapse Springs

    Currently MSBT isn't working properly with Synapse Springs (Engineer glove tinker). The cooldown on the gloves is 60 seconds, but MSBT will give the notification after 10 seconds even though there is 50 seconds left on the cd. When Synapse Springs do come off cooldown MSBT does nothing.

    Is there a way I can manually edit the mod to fix this problem?

    Well from what I can tell MSBT (I don't even know what that is... Some CD manager?) Is telling you when the duration of the buff ends, not the duration of the CD...

    MSBT = MikScrollingBattleText, and yeah that's what I was thinking as well.

    Another question for those familiar with the mod. Since the engineer tinker puts a cooldown on your gloves when you use them could I set up a custom trigger that would announce when the gloves come off cooldown? I just got the mod and I can't get any trigger to work involving the gloves, but maybe someone with more experience knows how.

    have yo checked the cooldown on your character sheet? i know on my druid, if i have a macro for the synapse springs and unsolvable riddle, using 1 puts the other on a short (10-20 second) cooldown so i can't stack them both, this may be what your experiencing

    if not, then sorry, i've not noticed any time bugs with my msbt and synapse springs

    I know what you are talking about and that's not the case. I'm just activating my gloves and 10 seconds later msbt reports the gloves are ready to be used again. 50 seconds after that (when the gloves are actually ready to be used) msbt reports nothing.

    What version of msbt are you using? I have the most recent one off curse, v5.5.106.

    I believe the situation Rixis mentioned is the underlying issue here.

    I cannot login WoW at the moment, but if I recall there is an option to track Item Cooldowns. You can try turning that on.

    It's not the underlying issue; I understand what he's talking about. If you use another on-use trinket it locks out your engi gloves and vice versa, but that is not what is happening here. I'm standing in org trying to configure msbt, I activate my gloves (and only my gloves), and 10 seconds later msbt says "Synapse Springs ready!". When they actually come off cooldown the mod says nothing.

    You do not need to explain to me the issue, I have the exact same problem myself. I just never bothered to try and fix it. I've always thought the cause was exactly the one mentioned by Rixis. What I think is happening is MSBT is getting confused... It's trying to tell you that your trinket is useable, but for some reason reports Synapse Springs instead.

    Again I cannot get on WoW at the moment to check around but try out the Item Cooldown option I mentioned, and/or see if there is a blacklist/whitelist for item cooldowns... Other than that, I don't believe there is anything you can do without LUA knowledge.

    i've logged my druid and checked, yeah, i get the +synapse and the -synapse for the buff effect, but also when the buff effect wears off i get that synapse springs is ready notification

    i've checked various sections of the addon/code, as well as seen your question on the curse site (to which mik has replied)

    i can honestly say i'd never noticed this until you pointed it out, not that it affects me a great deal, i tend to macro these sort of things into mangle and forget about them
