I can't find anywhere the option to change the "timer font". It doesn't use the global font, so i figured there must be an option elsewhere, but cant find it.

Perhaps I've missed it, but one key item I've found missing from DVE is a "Print to raid warning/raid window" feature so that alerts can be sent to those who don't have DVE or any bossmod in the raid?

Hey, I was wondering if there would be a way to add the "Run away little girl" sound to the list for DXE. I liked it on DBM but DXE is far better. Been trying to figure out a way to do this with SharedMedia or something but I'm having no luck.

Hello, I'm just wondering how you are actually supposed to move the frames. Do I need to go change things in the lua file or is there a easy option within WoW that I'm missing?

@astalavista: That's very odd. Are you using a non-english client? I know that when errors are caught by blizzard's addon it could screw up the loading of DXE. And did you try restarting wow?

@Mists: It can only handle one encounter at a time. I'll have to add in support for the Earth, Wind, and Fire achievement. It sets encounters using yell triggers or scanning of raid member targets, so in Vault of Archavon it will get locked to one of the three if you're pulling them all at the same time.

I recently tried this addon again because it keeps getting such great reviews. I was in Uld-10, had the encounter pane visible, checked that the Ulduar module was loaded and yet, got no warnings whatsoever. I gave up after Kologarn. Testbars for the Ulduar bosses we had just done worked, but in the fights themselves I got absolutely nothing. Is there anything I would have needed to do to actually trigger the encounters in DXE? I am puzzled.

+REPOST,
+Posted this several pages ago, and recieved no response:

Any idea on a potential future release to show us how to add/modify encounters? Along with the send feature this could be very interesting.
Assuming that the lua/xml you are using to define the encounters is basic enough for someone to learn in a relatively quick time?

I would love to be able to set up my addon for new ICC encounters, then send them to my friends/guildies (that use the addon).

My guild started doing Earth, Wind & Fire achievement and I noticed only the timers for the first boss pulled were shown. We start with Koralon and a hunter pulls Archavon after, he uses DBM, not sure if that makes a difference (roughly half the guild uses DXE and the other half uses DBM). Would be really helpful if the timers for Archavon could be shown too, since Stomp + Meteor Fists and Stomp + Burning Breath combos are what's killing tanks and tank healers. I'm not sure if it's possible, but if it is it would be great!

Encountered following issues @ Anub:

Penetrating Cold debuff casted twice in a row on the same player makes the raidmark disappear.

Any idea how we can fix this?

I fixed this a while ago, it should be working correctly in the latest beta. Make sure only one person in the raid has penetrating cold marking enabled for Anub, otherwise you'll have some marking conflicts. I plan on making it so only one person per raid is marking.

I'll see what I can do. Feature requests should go on the forum thread or in a ticket.

You don't write where do you prefer feature requests, so here it is: is it possible to make an arrow at General Vezax pointing away from the position where I was when I got a shadow crash, just like how it is like when someone else gets it? I know I suck if I can't see the chat bubble over my own head, but it would be a more consistent display of the same event.

The addon looks great, and seems to work alright. However I'll be sticking with DBM until you get a spell-timers-esque module for it. I love DBM for that, and allowing me to set it to any spell ID I want.

It is a great addon though, please keep up the great work.

Use oRA3 if you want to see spell timer cooldowns. I use it too, so I have no plans to add it into DXE.

I haven't put that much effort into making the Onyxia encounter, but I'll definitely get that in at some point.
