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.

Maev81, is there any possibility of tweaking the display on the encounter Pane for the pillars on the Lei Shen fight? Currently, the HP of each pillar is the primary bar with 100% shown the entire time. There is a small energy bar visible that fills as the pillar's energy fills. Is there any way to flip flop those two bars? Or to at least report the pillar energy percentages on the Pane? If not there, perhaps in an info window similar to DBM's info panel or the old Atramedes addon?
good ideia, will see what i can do
Fantastic news that DXE has been ressurected - thank you for the time & effort to do this!
DBM disabled and DXE enabled. Trying it out tonight.
Looks great. Glad to have it back. How often will it be updated?
will try daily updates
waiting for your feedback
Uploaded 1st version of it, get it on Project Site @ wowace
There will be bugs, haven't tested Lei Shen latest aditions because my motherboard fryed, thank god Disk was ok
There is some bugs on it but dont want to delay this release any longer, test it, tell me your opinions and improvements and have fun :D
Some of the Changelog:
1. New Warning Frame with classcolor support
2. More setup options on alerts, announces, .... one example is the ability to configure the audio cooldown time
3. Player role support on Encounters (this make it possible to design the encounters to exclude roles (tank,healer,dps) from bar alerts <-- this can be disabled on the alert setup)
4. Support for on Boss/Adds Health bars a overlay for phase indicators :)
5. New Plugin, Lag Tolerance
6. Bug fixes
And alot more
Edit: i think i squashed all the debug messages on chat, sorry if i missed any but that's the point of testing anyway :)
Sugestions are welcome
Dude. Love love love love love you for resurrecting this. I'm excitedly disabling DBM and re-enabling the long-dormant DXE that has been staring sadly at me from my addon list for so long now. Thank you a billion times over. I'll test as much as possible this week and post if I notice anything blowing up or any alerts/timers grossly missing or off. Thanks again, Maev81 !!
I fell you, i also really missed DXE
was alot of work, not just to make the encounters but more about learning how DXE coding worked
There are some things to fix and do on the encounters like some heroic stuff, on Setup just missing the ability info
please report back the bugs or even open a ticked of it on wowace to help bring back DXE glory :)
I too just REALLY appreciate you reviving this thing and was really happy after I did a random search to show a friend a screenshot and found out that it is being brought back instead. I love the crap out of this addon and have sorely missed it.
Was messing around in a cleared raid instance and couldn't get the proximity/text-based range finder to work properly.
how is it going ? i realy like to test /use it for the new id with heroics !
Well that when the beta 1 version of the addon in the court Tuesday just очеень are tempted try it out ?
Can provide some help too. Raiding in ToThc 25 man guild, so can get some field testing, or help a bit with coding (can't promise much though, programming is my specialization, but didn't have much exp in wowui coding).
Would really like to see it alive and kicking DBM and BW from their dominant bossmods position :)
i love you <3 :D lei shen also ready for the beta ?
good news, i got the permission from the author and access to use the current project here on Curse :D
let me just finish some stuff on the core and encounters and will release a Beta this Sunday or Monday :)
cant wait hope to see it soon ;)
waiting for a reply from the Author to see if i can use the current project or create a new and even if i have permission to upload DXE, Curse require this
If i can release it, depending of the time i probably only will release 11/12, Lei Shen isn't done, just a few minor stuff
can't wait to see it again
Be happy to help beta test if you need, would love to see this back!
i will do my best to release it this weekend even if there is some minor bugs
at least people can play with it on LFR to test it out
Any update on the new release? Excitied to start using the best boss addon again.
