Rhyolith is the most troublesome encounter this tier for DXE because of how the legs and boss interact. I'll try to improve it tomorrow when I'm there again.

Love this boss mod, but I'm having problems with the volume. I can not seem to separate the in game volume with the alert sounds volume. I have to turn the game sound up to be able to hear the "Run away little girl, run away...!"

I've checked and unchecked the "Master Sound Channel" button and it still seems to be based on the in game sound volume.

Basically I just want the alerts to be louder without having to hear every single person in the raid casting their spells so loud...

Help?

Set all channels except master to low and activate the Master Channel option in DXE. There is not much addons can do in regards to volume. Either they use the master channel or they don't.

I think the Pane -> Show pane... -> Only if engaged option is broken. I still see the pane window even if I'm not in combat.

Just want to say awesome job on this boss mod. It's very nice to see that you decided to make updates for the public again. I really missed it. :)

And so far, you are owning the crap out of the other boss mods out there in firelands.

So @ Harleschorsch,

now i´ve took a screen, in that you can see, the crackle warning, in the dxe config, i can test it and also see the crackle warning, but if i have the fight with nefarian himself, i don´t see the crackle warning at all.

Here the screens: http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/020711140004_WoWScrnShot_070211_135957.jpg

The German localization for the crackle was wrong. The next version will have the right one.

I've noticed that DXE doesn't seem to pick up our raid starting the Lord Rhyolith encounter until we're in the final burn phase when all his armor is gone

v616 picks up the start of the encounter (kind of), but it's not showing any timers and the even the encounter timer doesn't start. I get these errors out of my bugsack:

Is np =D I've been running without boss mods completely since the end of LK until Firelands dropped and I noticed DXE had been picked back up, so I'm just happy to see it being updated again.

@autobot200

Try the new alpha that's coming in a few minutes. I fixed an error that prevented the Firelands module from loading. Sorry.

Nice to see this addon getting updated once again, but for some reason i cant seem to get the firelands encounters to load, even when i go to test the bars, when i select firelands and hit load it just disappears. Not sure if i did something when installing it cause i was in a rush to raid and installed it fast (with wow not loaded). Anyone else getting this?

Hey again ;)

I have just one question again, it´s about Nefarian in BWD.

I don´t see the Crackle bar, just the Enrage and the other things, does anyone have the same bug?

Hope you can help me.

Do you mean the Electrocute where the emote "The air crackles..." appears? Or the Lightning thing that Onyxia does? The former should work if Blizzard didn't change the emote, the latter is not available because there are no events to trigger this.
