astalavista: The proximity window has to be opened manually. You open it by clicking the right most button on the encounter pane.

noxaek: I can't understand what you're requesting.

I tried DXE for the first time today, in a Naxx-10 PUG. I really liked what I saw, but ran into problems on KT. There were no range warnings at all, and we got double-ice blocked as melee was too close together. I saw the Proximity settings in the configuration, all classes were checked, should I have seen any KT range warnings?

many raid warnning messages are useful for raid leaders. but some of them doesn't need to warn by raid warnning message. (ex. Legion Flame etc.)

and custom channel choose option would be great.

Like the one thing I'm missing from making this addon perfect would be the ability to increase the width of the default bar bit that shows you bosses health percentage and stuff just now the boss name is usually going over the % it's at and it's quite annoying :(

noxaek: Fixed in the latest alpha. Thanks for the report.

jhjm32087: Not possible at the moment. You should disable the addon blocking it, move the arrow anchor, and then re-enable the addon.

I was wondering if you could move the arrow by x and y positions? The problem I'm having is that its behind one of my add-ons on my screen.

Are you using the 'Test' button in the config to test the alerts? You have to change the Alerts:CenterPopup,etc., calls in Options.lua. It looks like what you did should work.

I have been busy adding this in for myself, and have ran into a problem.

I changed all the alerts functions to also pass flashtext

function module:CenterPopup(id, text, totalTime, flashTime, sound, c1, c2, flashscreen, flashtext, icon)

Which is used within flashscreen(c,flashtext) to fire up the text in the center of the screen,
this works fine when I just invoke, say

self:CenterPopup("AlertTest1", "Decimating. Life Tap Now!", 10, 5, "DXE ALERT1", "DCYAN", nil, true, "Life Tap Now !!", addon.ST[28374])

When the screen flashes, it will also come up with "Life Tap Now !!", however I am having a little trouble integrating it into the boss mods, I have been modifying them and adding flashtext where neccessary, and I have also added flashtext into validator.

I am assuming the alerts are fired during encounters in Invoker.lua, and have modified

if alertInfo.type == "dropdown" then Alerts:Dropdown(info,text,time,alertInfo.flashtime,stgs.sound,stgs.color1,stgs.color2,stgs.flashscreen,alertInfo.flashtext,alertInfo.icon) elseif alertInfo.type == "centerpopup" then Alerts:CenterPopup(info,text,time,alertInfo.flashtime,stgs.sound,stgs.color1,stgs.color2,stgs.flashscreen,alertInfo.flashtext,alertInfo.icon) elseif alertInfo.type == "simple" then Alerts:Simple(text,time,stgs.sound,stgs.color1,stgs.flashscreen,alertInfo.flashtext,alertInfo.icon) end

To include flashtext, however the encounters still don't recognise this and the flashtext is being displayed as the path to the icon, it seems invoker is ignoring my arguement for flashtext, and I cannot find anywhere else the alers are invoked during the code execution.

Could you give me a hand in finding this? Thanks :)

Ah, yes the giant text isn't in the mod and I have no plans to add it. However, I will be adding outputs to MSBT, SCT, etc., which I think is a much cleaner implementation.

In my opinion the screen flash, sound, and bar is completely sufficient enough to warn you about it. Once memorize the light bomb's screen flash color the giant text becomes excessive.
