Hi Team from DVE!

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
I totally love your mod, playing with BW for over 2 years, and after i tested DVE i never used any other Boss mod that this one, but there is one thing i really miss in DVE, which is included in Deadly Boss mods: an auto respond during boss fights, with some Informations for those who whispers you during a boss fight that you are busy. These messages contain the name and health of the boss as well as the raid's status for example:

Please provide any additional information below.
"Player" is busy fighting against <The Lich King> Phase 1 - 74% 21/25 Members alive. You will be informed after combat. Send "status" to me to get more Informations.

Dont know how hard this is to implement , but would totally love to see this in upcoming DVE Versions! :)
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this great mod.

Greetings,

Lyntz

Try SimpleBossWhisperer, although I'm not convinced that SBW properly recognizes all boss triggers. It could be a useful feature to bake into DXE.

Another possibility is to run DBM alongside DXE with everything in DBM disabled. I do this because my guild uses the dbm raid warning order for frost tombs on sindragosa. I can have the autoresponse and what-not with minimal hassle.

Did some testing on SimpleBossWhisperer. It basically doesn't work properly at all. Upon reflection, and looking at the code, the only proper way to do boss whispers is to bake it into the boss mod directly. Your pull/defeat/wipe detection is always going to be better compared to what SBW tries to do. Additionally, you'll always know the correct encounter name (which may or may not be the NPC currently targeted). I'd say this definitely needs to be put into DXE.

Hey kollektiv ;)

Could you give me an answer if this will be in an future Version of DXE or is it too hard to implement?

This will be in the future version.

Okay, thanks for this quick answer :)

Sorry that i have to ask but,

Will this be in the next Version or in AN Version in the Future (Patch 4.1 Cataclysm in 2011)? I really like this Boss mod but atm i have to run DBM too to get these Auto Respond messages and its really anoying because i get Lua. Errors from DBM.

I Hope you could get this in the next Version, thanks if you do so :)

greetings,

lyntz

Any word on when/if this will ever be implemented?

Fixed in v604
