Who loves and dearly misses Parrot?

1) Download the attached file.
2) Remove the ".txt" from the end of the file.
3) Replace the identically-named file in your "[WoW]\Interface\Addons\Parrot\Code" directory with the attached file.
4) Realize how much you missed Parrot.

Thanks Gav. I no longer miss it!

Just as a note, that fix has a few bugs. The few that I've noticed:

- When you heal yourself, it shows in both the incoming and outgoing sections (I can't remember if it did this before, but I don't think it did).
- When you gain Energy (as a rogue), it shows up as "Focus". I fixed this manually in the code, but it probably messes up any Focus gains (no problem since I'm not a stinky huntard).
- When you gain extra attacks (for example, from Sword Specialization or Windfury), the notification shows up differently than it did before. Not a big deal.
- I've heard that pet damage doesn't display correctly.

Regardless, some Parrot is better than no Parrot!

FYI, Parrot has been updated in wowace so can be installed and maintained through that route.

Obviously someone's picked up the torch to keep this great mod going.

Its a better version of Scrolling Combat Text.

(and apparently it will also eat your crackers)
