awesome. I lead a lot of pub raids, and being able to call out to the offtanks that whelp spawns are soon helps quite a bit.

I would like to use the "run away little girl" sound for certain encounters, is there a way to do that?

So evidently DXE doesn't play nice with Grid. Only having Grid and DXE I get this error:

Arrows will pop-up telling you where to go if someone needs cleansing. I don't have any plans to add the messages you're talking about, but I'm going to add in some generic raid warnings soon.

I really like DXE so far, but there is one thing missing that was very useful in DBM. This is more of a combination of features, but on a fight like say, Northrend Beasts, if a group of people got toxin or burning bile, there would be a raid warning including all of the players' names and a chat print-out. DXE doesn't have an option for these casts on others, and the warning setup doesn't let you output to raid warning and chat log at the same time.

The list of player names in a warning is useful for a tank so I instantly know where to go with my burning bile, the chat output is nice for reviewing the fight if something went wrong.

How do I disable the FFVII fanfare after the boss has been killed? Got sounds turned off on alerts, not sure what I need to do to turn off that jingle.

Go to Sounds, select VICTORY under Sound Labels and set the sound to None

Sound volumes can't be adjusted ingame. I'll change how loud the sound is for the victory sound manually.

I really like the mod. It's simple, sleek, and it's easy to adjust most things. The one request I would have is to provide a way to adjust the volume on sounds.

The victory sound only plays after you kill something. If you want to change it just change the VICTORY sound label in Sounds

I must say... I love this mod and use it over DBM and so does my guild HOWEVER...

PLEASE REMOVE THE FF1 BATTLE FANFAR FROM BOSS ALERTS!!! it is SO LOUD and ANNOYING.

It's fine if it plays AFTER you kill something but during fights are a normal "alert"...NO! PLEASE!

I had to go manually adjust this myself and its quite long and annoying to do...

First I just want to highly recommend this mod to anyone who raids.

Secondly, I am the raid leader and I typically have raid announcements on when I use DBM or BigWigs. For the life of me I cannout figure out how to turn on raid announce with this mod.

Please help.

Raid announcements aren't build in yet. I have an idea of how to add it in so you might see it soon.

@mp95gp: I've found that the lower bound is 30 seconds. You'll have to edit it yourself

Edit: I changed it to 30.5 after looking over some more logs. It rangs from 30 to 30.5 seconds, so the longer one is better since it'll overlap.

@flickmybik: No, it doesn't. That's out of scope for this type of addon. I use my raid frames to see the buffs.

@raynesis: You'll have to go through each one. I'll probably add some way to set all the colors like I did with Sounds.

@Cowvin: Can you send me your savedvariables for DXE? I have no idea how this is possible.

@MrMacca: I'll add some way to insert a custom ALERTx into the addon. If you want to add it now you can edit the defaults table at the top of Core.lua. Under 'ALERT11 = ...' add new table key called 'ALERT12 = ...'
