@oray We already have the code in to support marking and identifying on the bar the person that gets the plague from the Lich King. Kollektiv was talking about the plague's that are passed. There is no combat log event for that. If what we have isn't working now I'm not sure why, when I did Lich King last week it was most certainly working.

@ kollectiv

we get a disease named as Necrotic Plague. it should be in combat log for sure at least for the first guy. I checked some our combat logs with worldoflogs, and there are logs like;

[23:08:13.041] The Lich King casts Necrotic Plague on XXXXX

and there should be combat log version of this. Unfornunately, if someone dispelled earlier, the next person who gets Necrotic Plague cannot be seen in combat log but on the character debuffs.

At least, if we can find out who gets the first Necrotic Plague from the Lich king will help a lot with a marking ability.

Kollektiv: /script DXE.RDB = {} followed by reloadui did not work for us. Any ideas? (To give you the full story, I edited the LK plugin and randomly chose v42 for my edited version. I pushed out to the raid, but now we can't switch to your latest without editing the DVE.lua. To make matters worse, some of the slower raid members with my version keep pushing it out, reseting everyone else with auto-accept so we do this dance every night now.)

@oray,melfus: It's hard to detect Necrotic Plague because there's no combat log event for it. I'll use the chat message to detect it.

@diiv: Yes, I'll add it to the TODO list. If you'd like to change it yourself you can open up Alerts/Alerts.lua and change the variable 'local FADETIME' on line 83

@ZubrDP: /script DXE.RDB = {} and then a /console reloadui

@Alexander234: Chat messages were probably only translated in English, so the encounter would not trigger for non-English clients. It should be fixed now.

I've pushed a new fix to v442-34. I misspelled a repository substitution which ended up commenting out code that broke the addon.

442-33 is not working at all.

and there is still no warning (Announces) when Necrotic Plague is casted on me. :( I need to move away from raid to the mobs when I get Nec Plague but I notice it kinda late while there is no sound.
