Getting Started
When you first login with this AddOn you will see a black transparent rectangle with a blue bar labeled 'Default', called the encounter pane, in the center of your screen. Shift+Click on it to move it. From left to right you will see:
- Stop Icon: Halts the current encounter (you should rarely have to do this)
- Menu Icon: Opens the configuration dialog
- Lock Icon: Toggles frame anchors
- Windows Icon: Opens a drop down menu to show interface windows
Also, if you ever hide the pane and can't get it to show, type /dxe to open the configuration dialog. There is also a minimap icon.

I'll add them in Cataclysm =)
The new ICC 5 mans on the other hand have a few interesting little tweaks. Incoming fears on first boss in Forge, Mirrored Soul, Scourgelord's stuff in Pit of Saron, etc. etc.
If you ever get bored, it would be great to see some modules for at least those instances ;)
Their lack is my main reason for not totally switching to this from DBM.
I skimmed the comments here and on the WowAce site, as well as the forum thread and didn't notice any mention of them in the works or their denial completely.
I took a peek at the existing encounters to maybe get some reference, but I get the feeling that it's so much more than it seems.
I don´t get error messages from blizzard.
I use the german client version 409

@gen, perfect, was out-thinking the room, it would appear that you'd need to be raid assist to use it, any option for it being local only?
@phaulen: /dxerb <duration> <text>
"/dxerb 5:00 Five minute break."
before posting an enhancement, I figured I'd post just in case it's easy to do what I'm trying to do w/o it.
It would be nice to be able to add custom timers to the list, either by /command or script not unlike can be done with dbm (/dbm timer duration text) and I believe BW has similar functionality as well. I often use these features in macros to add custom timers/cooldowns so I have all my important timers in one place.
I took a look through some of the code to see if I could find a function that does what I'm looking for but didn't find it.
Thanks for any guidance.
Can u add a warning for the silence casted by the big skeletons, the trash before Marrowgar?. Thanks!
@escafoxx: I'm not entirely sure why it would be using 90mb. I didn't majorly change anything internally this patch. Maybe it could be a library embedded in it using that much memory. I'll try running the packaged version and seeing if I experience it.
@Jaidan: Gothik spawn timers weren't added because the encounter was completely trivial. DXE can track pretty much anything in-game. I've been busy for the last week (finals) so I haven't gotten in every timer I want to. You'll see them soon!
@bunshun: The three bosses needed chat message triggers translated. I'll package a new release soon.
@genetik: The ticketing system is better because I might lose track of comments.
@mclagett: It should be fixed. It's a lower bound I found in one log.
My bad. I was looking at the wrong addon. Tried to delete then edit the previous post, but couldn't. Sorry for the mixup.
