Posted Sep 29, 2009It may be closer to 31 seconds when it starts looping in phase 3, and there's definitely a "I haven't been alive long enough to cast" grace period where this "casting opportunity" can be skipped.
Also, your 120 second cast cooldown (the second one in the array) shouldn't happen unless Anub'arak emerges and the Nerubians from the previous phase are still up.

Posted Sep 30, 2009Yeah, the timer does get a bit off in phase 3, so you'll have to eye how much it's off for now. I'm working on a way to make it auto correct itself during that phase.
The second one should work fine. At 0:30, itt schedules a cooldown bar to be fired, and then later fires a shadow strike cooldown bar at 2:30, which implies that shadow strike will go off at 3:00. Anub'arak emerges at 2:25 and new spawns emerge at 2:30.
I'll try to narrow down the cooldown in phase 3 next week.

Posted Sep 30, 20092. Not generally possible. It would have to be set out of combat and would only work on a few select fights where the tracking doesn't change. It's very limiting so I don't want to add in something half-baked.
3. I'll add an amount option eventually. And maybe make it so shift+clicking the corner would resize the dimensions.

Posted Sep 29, 2009I do have a couple suggestions based on my experiences with the other boss mods out there.
1. During the Assembly of Iron fight when, Stormcaller Brundir is killed last, he will do the Lightning Tendrils. With the other bossmods an Icon would be placed on the person he is currently chasing so that others could know to get the hell away from that person, and that person would also realize they are the one dragging Brundir around. I didn't see this happening with DXE and couldn't seem to find an option for it.
2. Would it be possible to make the boss hp frame clickable, so that you can quickly select a different target during the fight.
3. Although this next one doesn't bother me a guildie asked if it was possible.. On the proximity window, they wondered if instead of scaling could the sizing handle on the window change height and width of the window, and possibly the ammount of people shown in the list.
Thanks again for a great mod Kollektiv.

Der ThorimTrigger wurde nicht ganz richtig gefixed. Blizzard war so nett und hat bei dem deutschen Clienten ein Leerzeichen am Anfang des "Yells" einprogrammiert. Kollektiv wurde schon informiert, jedoch hat er sicherlich einen Codeschnipsel in der Matrix vergessen. Meine Version läuft einwandfrei und ich bin sicher kollektiv wird dies sicher schnell nachholen. :)
English: The Drunken Coders from Blizzard added a Space at the begining of the Yell. The only way to get the Alerts work is to added a Space at the Yell Trigger. The only thing that works is
strange....i know. But i think he will update this very soon.....he had a lot of work....so be patient :)
PS: sorry for the German...long Night...Brainlaggs and no Coffee so i shutdown this Partition in my Head.

Posted Sep 28, 2009mclagett/Ridikul: You're right, the first one is 20 seconds after they spawn (or 30 seconds after aggro). The timers for the rest of the fight have been added in, but they aren't event based because sometimes none of the adds cast it if they're stunned. It assumes Anub goes through exactly two burrows. I still have to add in detection for when the timer gets pushed back.
noxaek: I don't want to add raid warnings because they're pretty obtrusive. Use raid frames if you want to see ones out of range.

Posted Sep 27, 2009the nerubian burrowers on anub'arak heroic appear to cast an ability exactly 20 seconds after they spawn. It seems it can be either submerge or shadow strike.
It might be on a shorter cooldown after the leeching swarm begins.

Posted Sep 27, 2009some important debuffs don't make raid warning message because target is far enoungh to me. (like Fel Flame or something)
and some debuffs make confusing raid warning massage, ( like this - [RW] : debuff :YOU )
if you can make an option for raidleaders, that would be awesome.
because Korean raid players are terrible.

Posted Sep 24, 2009DBM gives you a warning if someone is afflicted by the "Unbalancing Strike" Debuff so you can taunt if you hear the warning.
DXE only have a timer when it can appear. It would be nice if there is a warning in the middle of your screen like :
Unbalancing strike on XY ... TAUNT! or something like that.

Posted Sep 23, 20091) Is there any chance of getting the bars made movable? The way my current UI is set up, which I like, some of the bars are covered by stuff.
2) Lord Jaraxxus needs an Incinerate Flesh icon setting. For the people not using this addon.
I guess that's all for now really. Haven't gone to Ulduar w/ it yet but as that is fairly old I expect that you have ironed all that stuff out completely.
I love this addon. Used it or one just like it in vanilla and I'm glad I found it again.

Posted Sep 20, 2009FieroNefarian: Could you elaborate?
spinkington: You'll have to add this yourself. The best way is to use the SharedMedia addon. A way to change what ALERT1, ALERT2, etc. are will be added soon.
ssang81: Will be added soon
