Deadly Boss Mods   

Hi can I ask something, any1 feel free to answer if you know.

Ideally I want to hide the blizzard boss frames that show up to the right (Under minimap) and I want to use the DBM healthframes, so in the option of DBM I went to health frames and I checked where it says "Override.....etc" innetionally I thought this would hide blizz boss frame and show the dbm healthframe instead, but then I joined a flex and found out that both will be shown if i checked this.

is there anyway to make blizz boss frame hidden and only use dbm health frames (without using third party addon to get this job done)

Having a similar problem and can't figure out what the issue is.

I'm using the ColdDBM skin (which does not replace DBT-Template.xml in the DBM folder), and before the recent DBM update, my bars looked like this:



After the update, they look like this:



:<

Same here.
What have changed? And why?

I'm suddenly finding that custom templates (that replace the DBT-Template.xml in DBM-Core and use custom textures) are no longer working. I tried a couple, one from the old DamiaUI and Boda UI DBM skin (Link) and it's putting the type of green "texture not found" squares on the bar sparks and the icons are misaligned with the borders.

These were working fine for the past couple of years til the updates to DBM this week. Is anyone else finding this?

"Looking for Raid" spawned the development of "Raid Finder". Blizzards gave it the name "Raid Finder", but LFR had already taken hold. And because it was basically the same idea as "Looking for Raid" there was no real reason for a new abbreviation.

Good luck trying to force people to change after this long.

I have found (I am not certain when it happened) but when I do any raiding I am only getting the vocal raid announcements (usually in the form of a countdown). I do not have any of the bars with the countdown on them listed on the side of my screen then moving to the middle as the countdown approaches zero. I do have bars when I am prompted to join a raid or an instance group from LFG/LFR. I have looked in the settings and from the best I can tell all the correct check marks are in place. (I never ever change these settings so it is just the defaults, other then I did change the voices awhile back.) I don't raid or LFG a lot but I do it once a week or so. I would like to know what I need to do in order to get the warning bars back displaying things like Phase 2 or the next wave of w/e, etc.

Question on H. Lei Shen. I don't see the aoe Grip announce (playing my DK) and I could have sworn it used to be there. Was it removed? Can it be turned back on if I somehow broke it?

Also can we get a countdown for Ball Lightning in P2(and P3); will make it easier to discern from Bouncing Bolts and simpler to time Grip + Stun chain.

After wondering for quite some time how a function called Raid Finder that produces loot described as Raid Finder could be called LFR with such traction, I've finally figured it out. I whispered a friend who was in RF and got a reply from their DBM saying they were fighting a Looking For Raid boss.

There's no such thing.

Please fix so that the people who cannot think for themselves to determine how to abbreviate Raid Finder correctly will not be so easily misled.

Hi.... awesome....
Im looking same thing.... anyoone knows?

Both exeptions happened in quick sucession of each other during the fight.
At a second pull later the exact same thing happened.

I keep getting this message in my chat window:

<Deadly Boss Mods> A new time-based raid event was created.

I have noticed that the sound , female voiced "Warning" is not an option anymore for warnings/special warnings in the gui options. Is there any chance we could have this back.???

Would it be possible to add the Kanrethad Ebonlocke encounter?

The most important mechanisms would be chaos bolt and cataclysm, as well as curse of ultimate doom.

Ideally there would also be timers for the summoning of wild imps, felhunters and doomguards.

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=69964

Or is there any reference describing how to add an encounter to DBM?

Is there a reason the "Run away little girl" audio was removed? I've been used to hearing that since WotLK and I really would rather have that than any other warning noise. :/
