Posted Jun 13, 2011As a long time RDX/DXE user, i am switching away from this. (though i really like the way it works) the warning options are really nice (though should be way more "on self" warnings) My main problem with it is, that it often tends to skip warnings (audio warnings, visual warnings, could point out V&T pink meteor marks, but there are more), and reliability would be the first priority for me way before looks. None of the other bossmods do this kind of behavior for me. I have very much enjoyed playing with it, thank you very much.

Thanks, found what I need. But there is one problem, can you add automatically broadcast addon version in raid chat after relog or joining the raid? This function is already in DBM and BigWigs, otherwise I can`t get versions check without request.
If I add request it make me to wait all responds (there is no respond if player is changing zone etc)... Well it`s complicate without automatical request

The Versions.lua file in the main DXE directory should have all necessary functions and callbacks.

I third this. A graphic proximity list (as opposed to a text one) like Bigwigs would be awesome.

Posted May 31, 2011"Maybe it's possible to merge something back to DXE (the nice preprocessor, the plugin framework, and and some reorganizations)"
I don't have any real objections to that, honestly the majority of my work with KLE has not been things that are readily apparent on the UI, as you said pre-processor, debugger, plugin framework, ect.
They add value, but not in a way that is going to drive general usage, the leveraging of DXE's already existing look and feel is what would drive general usage. I'm happy to bring these back end enhancements into DXE if its going to be maintained.
......... as for the slowness, well... I need transcripts to write up encounter files, and sadly by the time I got access to solid transcripts for alot of the heroic encounters I was getting ready to move across the country and start a new job =/

Well, yes. I know that KLE came in and picked up a bit where DXE left off at the beginning of CATA, but as was previously mentioned the development was rather slow.

Posted May 28, 2011yes the preprocessor is nice :), and also the debugger plugin for developing encounter file in game. Even if the development went slowly forward, it all works. and for me and some other the encounter works, and show the importent things.
Maybe it's possible to merge something back to DXE (the nice preprocessor, the plugin framework, and and some reorganizations)

Problem is KLE development has been very slow. I do love the KLE preprocessor and think if it was implemented in DXE it would be wonderful. Outside of that though I don't think KLE does anything groundbreaking DXE doesn't have already.

Posted May 28, 2011I <3 DXE so much. What a thrill when I saw it was in the latest update, hurriedly clicked wtf that meant and lo and behold, a modernized (for Cata) mod. AND, y'all finally implemented an auto-responder to boot. A feature that'd been requested for who knows how long. Here's hoping you can continue to improve upon what used to be a great mod and wipe out the competition again. :) /cheers

Posted May 28, 2011DXE Developing was never stoped !
the Guild Kalimdor's Legion forked KL Encounters from DXE and improve some points. look at this post ->http://www.wowace.com/addons/deus-vox-encounters/?comment=579
so now we have two addons they looks like the same, maybe it's possible to merge both projects.

I second this, when DXE stopped be developed I switched over to BigWigs again and now have come accustomed to the proximity that BigWigs has.
Would be wonderful if we could get such a meter for DXE.
Thank you very much for updating this, by far the best boss mod out there.
