@racoon-1: Yes, I'll add it soon. It's on my list of features to add

@FierofNefarian: I'll add that soon.

@Creylius: Added in the latest alpha. I haven't tested it yet, but it should work.

@Fed03: I plan on adding a counter bar that will anchor onto the alert bar anchors, so seeing it will be completely optional. It's definitely high on my TODO list, so you'll see it soon.

First off, great mod works much better than other bossmods!

If possible would you be able to add a width feature to the pane? So you could increase/decrease the width without using the scale function. Thanks for a great addon and keep up the good work! :]

Hey DXEteam first of, good work ! this mod is much better than DBM or Bigwigs.

But i have a future request... Is it possible to add a message which yells you to kick if the shield buff in twin valk encounter fades. It´s often hard to see if the shield is down, especially at the end of the timer.

A new bar in the panel for the shield health like Fed03 request would be very nice, too

You have to first load the addon by typing /dxe or clicking the icon on the minimap.

I love this boss mod a lot more than DBM/Bigwigs but I do have one question/request which may or may not be feasible.

Would it be possible to make use of the Arrows for Hodir to point to who has the Storm Cloud on them? I use chat bubbles but range of them is fairly limited. Would be sorta akin to how Vezax arrows work but points you to the person with the buff? Helpful when trying to stack them as a Mage or just about any DPS class. Would probably also be useful for guilds that have problems ensuring people get the buffs. Sort of a silly request so my apologies.

No timers on Thorim encounter at ru locale. Translations are correct. Any ideas what's the issue?

Not sure why. I'll change the translation so it doesn't try to match at the start of the message. Sometimes blizzard likes to add an extra space at the beginning.

That's not possible, as you cannot create targetable frames in combat.

Feature Request:

I was wondering if you can have the info pane become targetable If the user clicks the bosses name then the target frame changes to that boss.

Is there anything special that has to be done to start an encounter? I was doing Beast in 10hc and the mod didn't start automatically. By going manually it did.

It should be automatic. What language client are you using? Was the timer > 0 on the encounter pane?

Could you add the timer for deafening roar to Yogg Saron +3 and harder, at the start of phase 3? I added it for myself without any regard for the difficulty, since you seem to not detect that anyway, and I don't think it's a major problem since it's just for the first CD.

As modular is this addon is. Making the ability to create your own encounters would make this addon out of this world.

Maybe a future idea?
Then ppl could add fights like Koralon that are currently not in.

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).

Totaly awesome! Replaced DBM and we are looking at having everyone in the guild move to Deus for raids. Not that it is a terribly difficult fight, but I could not find Koralon the flame watcher from VOA in the Northrend Encounters section. Makes it kind of idiot proof to get the "hey dumbass, you are standing in fire" warning.

umegonta: You can just delete the
## LoadOnDemand: 1

line in DXE.toc. If you really configure it that much I can add it.

dawl: Sure, you can add it as long as you keep the files unmodified
