Hi, is it possible to add to Alerts > Warning Messages the option to have DXE's Alerts - Bar Warning Anchor as an Output? Because currently no matter where I move DXE's Bar Warning anchor, the warning location doesn't change.

How would I go about putting an icon on someone's head when they are targeted by the boss?

Basically I want to add to the Marrowgar fight when someone is targeted by the boss for bone storm so a mark goes out over there head as he is spinning toward that person.

Silly question, but possible to add a countdown (til he becomes active bar to the Saurfang fight? There's a few fights which has it. Would seem to make sense for Saurfang but dunno. =) Thanks!

@Dieh: It's not possible to get the targets. I could only find a way to detect when it was cast.

@suicidalkatt: I commented out Blood Queen's map coordinates. I'm not sure how it consumed a ton of resources. It shouldn't be throwing any errors all ll that would have happened was a 0 yard distance being calculated. Edit: Also, if the coords aren't found it should default to CheckInteractDistance.

My DXE is still not working on the LK encounter, it recognises it as the LK (because he appears in the pane and his health goes down during the fight) but the encounter timer wont start nor do i get any notificaton bars. Other people in my guild using DXE with the identical version have it working fine.

It works for me on 90% of the other bosses in icecrown and it would be really helpful if there was a way of kickstarting certain encounters into working.

Not sure if you've updated the Blood Queen coords or not, but there should be some kind of preventative system for the range window if coords cannot be found.

Some people have been getting rather large CPU / Memory consumption from the range finder in that area.

LOVE this addon! Much better than the other boss encounter addons I've tried. One thing that I would really like to see is a 5 man dungeon encounter plugin. I know other encounter addons have this ability, not sure how complex it would be to "ninja" the data from one of them or if you'd have to write the script from scratch.

Once again, not complaining, I LOVE the look and feel of this addon, #1 raid encounter I've used to date!!!

Could you add a feature to place custom sounds into dxe.lua because curse client replaces media.lua when new update is released?
like:
["CustomSoundsFiles"] = {
["HoodWolf"] = "Interface\\AddOns\\DXE\\Sounds\\HoodWolf.wav",
},
["CustomSounds"] = {
["Runaway"] = "HoodWolf",
},

@senomar1h: It sounds like your combat log is breaking. You have to relog to fix it or try typing /script CombatLogClearEntries(). I haven't tried this myself but the general consensus is that the script command works.

@Niightblade: You could modify Media.lua and change the r,g,b values for BLACK. If you'd like something better you should make a ticket about it.

@escafoxx: It's currently not possible. You should make a ticket about it.

@bobbythecount: Tear Gas doesn't have a set duration. It could be wrong up to plus or minus four seconds. I took the average time it lasted (16 seconds).

@Daeryon: It's not possible to point an arrow to a npc.

@coreanism: I forgot to add Toravon to the .toc. It should be fixed in the latest alpha.

@ramalina: I'll add it soon. I don't know why I didn't.

i really like this addon, but occasionally timer-bars do not spawn for me. some guild mates have this problem too. since we are working on the lich king encounter there are sometimes no timers or defile-/s-warnings at all. after a couple of ui-reloads or wow restarts, the addon is back to normal, but not allways. really frustrating :/ the pane-timer starts, lich king is loaded, but no bars spawn. there are no lua errors. any clues?

Hi. Thanks for a fantastic addon.
Unless I'm missing it, there's no timer for a countdown to Necrotic Plague's cast. Would it be possible to get this added please?
Or can someone point me to it if I've somehow missed it in the ability list?

Many thanks in advance.

Is it possible to remove "black" as a text warning colour please? 90% of people I know use a full-black chat window. It's a pain having to configure every encounter...

How about making the popup message box more customizable? Move around, change opacity, etc. Great addon keep it up.

Is there any part of DXE that should/can hide the default blizzard boss frames (e.g the Gunship Battle in ICC)?

I've recently changed alot of my interface and now when I engage encounters with those frames, they pop up. Not really a problem, just annoying to see
