1 - GenericBossDeath doesn't do what we think it should

All the modules that use GenericBossDeath fail to sync & deactivate because BW is weird. :)

I recommend renaming all the BossDeath overrides to BossDeathCheck or something, and having that call the real BossDeath when the time is appropriate.

See http://www.wowace.com/projects/big-wigs/tickets/13-generic-boss-death-doesnt-work/ for technical detail.

This particular defect is only present in Constructor/Controller and Ingvar the Plunderer. I'll keep searching for modules that don't deactivate themselves.

    I haven't tried it yet, but you're still using GenericBossDeath in C&C. If you look at the BW code, you will see that GenericBossDeath does NOT cause the module to be disabled (ref. BigWigs:BigWigs_RecvSync)

    Give these another try. They might be ok now in Beta8, I changed some minor stuff, but I'm not sure why they weren't working in the first place.

    Can you please modify the ticket to include a list of any bosses you find that have this problem. I'll try to check for them, but it doesn't mean I might not miss one :)
