BossInfo

Version: 1.8
by: nerino1 [More]

BossInfo is an addon used to provide a simple overview of Boss fights and encounters. The information is broken down into section for Tanks, Healers and DPS.

Information is written for the Heroic Version of Instances and the Looking for Raid Version of Raids.

Using Bossinfo to see Boss Encounter Information is easy. Simply choose a Boss from the pull down menu or target the Boss and press the Target Button.

BossInfo also has the ability to send an overview of the Boss Encounter to your Party/Raid/Instance Group. Simply choose the Boss from the menu or target the Boss and press the Target button and then press the Party Button to send the overview to chat.

To access the addon, simply click on the icon; or use the slash commands /bi or /bossinfo

You can now click 'About' and then 'Party' to send a message to your party, telling them where they can download Bossinfo

Version 1.6 (11/29/14)

-Fixed improper names displayed when sending info to party in Upper Blackrock Spire


Version 1.5

- Updated for 6.0.3

- Added Iron Docks
- Added Skyreach
- Added Auchindoun
- Added Grimrail Depot
- Added Shadowmoon Burial Grounds
- Added The Everbloom
- Added Upper Blackrock Spire
- Added Blackrock Foundry

- WOD dungeon encounter information is linked directly to the Dungeon Journal. Kind of lazy, I know, but the details they provide and very useful.

- Removed the ability to hide Tank, Healer, DPS sections. This part of the code was causing problems. If people really miss it, I'll look at adding it back.

- No information for Mysts of Pandaria. I didn't play much during this expansion. Adding all the old strategies at this point is not something I feel like doing. I'll probably get around to it someday. In the meantime, if anyone has strategies they want to share, email them to me through curse and I will add them.

- When you announce the information to the party, it will now send the information to the correct chat (Party, Raid, LFG, LFR, Instance Chat). If you are not in a party, it posts it in Say.

Hide Button

Would like the option to hide the icon.

I have a macro to call up BossInfo and don't need the icon anymore, its just clutter on my screen.

Thanks!

I would like to be able to lock it in place so I don't accidentally drag it around.

Very nice. Except for two things.

That big button needs some way of...going away. It takes up far too much UI space.

Sure, you can move it almost completely offscreen. Which doesn't mean much if you regularly change your UI scale.

A minimap button or ideally, a LibDataBroker feed + optional minimap button would be far better than that monster. If either of those are too much, some way to disable the current button would be appealing to many. While still, of course, having some way of accessing the mod's options. The command line command only opens the main frame, not the options frame.

The second issue: the /bi command to bring up the BossInfo frame is the same abbreviated command used for years by the popular BankItems inventory mod. As that has been around for a long time, would be cool if some other abbreviated alias could be chosen for this new mod.
