Getting Started

When you first login with this AddOn you will see a black transparent rectangle with a blue bar labeled 'Default', called the encounter pane, in the center of your screen. Shift+Click on it to move it. From left to right you will see:

  1. Stop Icon: Halts the current encounter (you should rarely have to do this)
  2. Menu Icon: Opens the configuration dialog
  3. Folder Icon: Opens a drop down menu to activate encounters
  4. Lock Icon: Toggles frame anchors
  5. Windows Icon: Opens a drop down menu to show interface windows

Also, if you ever hide the pane and can't get it to show, type /dxe for commands. There is also a minimap icon, which can open the configuration dialog.

Implemented Encounters

  • Naxxramas: All bosses
  • The Eye of Eternity: Malygos
  • The Obsidian Sanctum: Sartharion
  • Vault of Archavon: All bosses

    Only thing I can find missing from the LK encounter is a timer and self-warn for necrotic plague which is pretty critical for P1. I will probably write it in myself tonight, but I proper addition would be appreciated.

    Would it be possible to add an option to control the fade time of the bars?

    Any chance of putting in a way to purge Encounters received via the Distributor? We were running custom LK plugins and now having problems going back to live versions.

    Latest alpha dont show any cooldowns in LK 25 , where half of the raid is using DXE.

    All of us rolled back to 442 release.

    @mclagett: I removed the defile arrows in the latest alpha. The map breaks when the edges fall off so you can't get coordinates of players.

    @Alexander234: It's fixed in the latest alpha.

    the defile arrows don't appear to be working properly on 25

    On the 25 ppl Lich King encounter i have three timers for incoming Valkyrs. Is there a possibility to turn off second and third timer ? Cause they are : 1) Not so useful 2) Eating much of space :)

    Thx !

    @Creylius: Youll have to have DBM pizza timer running unfortunately.

    @amijay77, Malarkschwag: The release version doesn't have an implemented LK encounter. We're almost finished with it; phrase 3 timers still need to be added. It'll be tagged probably tomorrow. I tested the latest alpha and LK should load fine. If the localization phrase for LK isn't translated then it won't start correctly.

    Maybe you can help or maybe there's a way of doing this but, our MT uses DBM's Pizza Timer for people to pre-pot before engaging a boss and I was wondering if there's a way of getting DXE to communicate with DBM to make a bar. Or may need to simply have DBM running and just use the Pizza timer? >.<

    I am having the same problem. I have deleted and reinstalled several times - LK is not showing anything other than Proximity Meter.
