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.

Warlords of Draenor Update

Encounters: Highmaul, BlackRock Foundry and Hellfire Citadel have been implemented.
Party Module: Party support has been added.
World Boss Module: World Bosses support has been added.
Features: More new Alert Options and Spell descriptions on Options.

Implemented Encounters

World Boss: All bosses

Localizations

Please visit the localization page to translate in-game phrases. It is open to anyone with an account. The most important phrases are the chat triggers for bosses, because they start encounters. However, not all encounters are started by chat triggers. The rest of the phrases are for display purposes. The following languages need a maintainer:

Korean (koKR)
Russian (ruRU)
Simplified Chinese (zhCN)
Spanish (esES)
Traditional Chinese (zhTW)
Brazilian Portuguese (ptBR)
Latin American Spanish (esMX)

Excellent Addon Kollektiv, I have one question for you. If you have any option (if there is I am too blind to see it) to disable the drop down alerts so that I only have one timer? Thanks.

Dappa: Thanks, and yes, I'll integrate spell icons in the near future. It's not an essential feature since I make all the alert colors different in the default settings. The mod is near ready for a release. The only major feature I have planned is to sync the pane timer and alert bars when logging into an already running encounter. Syncing for anything else is completely unnecessary because the client can detect all events. Right now I'm only focused on polishing and completing the boss mod aspect. In the distant future I might implement main target unit frames and a simple cooldown tracker.

Devtech: The alerts currently have no name. I'll name then DXEAlertBar1, DXEAlertBar2...etc. in the next revision (r262)

Akaishi: I assume you mean when the Saronite Animus is out. Just make sure you have General Vezax on focus the entire fight. Usually no one is targeting General Vezax, making it impossible to get the target of his shadow crash, so the alert will fail.

Junkie: Possibly, I don't think it's that useful.

Would love to have spell icons integrated into the alertbar. It can be hard to distinguish between the visible bars by text alone.

Love the addon so far. Is there a roadmap for future releases?

I forgot to add that in, thanks. Btw distributing is broken since I modularized the addon. It'll be fixed soon.

General Vezax´s enrage Timer doesnt work

General_Vezax.lua

onstart = { [1] = { {alert = "vaporcd"}, {alert = "enragecd"}, {set = {saronitecount = "INCR|1"}}, },

will fix it ;)

Yes, I will eventually get to it but I have a bunch of other features on the todo list. For now you can only scale the alert bars.

Testwarnings do not work.

function Prototype:LayoutAlertStack(stack,anchor)
		sort(stack, SortFunc)
	  >>>>  for alert in ipairs(stack) do  <<<<
			alert:ClearAllPoints()
			alert:SetPoint("TOP",anchor,"BOTTOM")
			anchor = alert
		end
	end

changed to an older code like this

function Prototype:LayoutAlertStack(stack,anchor)
		sort(stack, SortFunc)
	  >>>>	for i=1,#stack do <<<<
			local alert = stack[i]
			alert:ClearAllPoints()
			alert:SetPoint("TOP",anchor,"BOTTOM")
			anchor = alert
		end
	end

POOOF....no it works ;)

I've begun to add localization in http://www.wowace.com/projects/deus-vox-encounters/localization/. I can't translate everything myself. If your guild members would like to help I'd appreciate it.

Tested at Ulduar and i am very surprised. I like it more then DBM oder BW but many of our Member used the deDE Client so they see noch Timerbars. It is possible to add a localisation?
