Hi Tom, thank you for your words, really appreciate it and i welcome all the help users are doing (reporting bugs and translations). So if you next PTR you want to help i gladly take your help, i dont have the time that i wish to have and that's why i sometimes take somewhat to long to release an update and for that reason for coding encounters i wont lie i take alot of ideas from bigwigs and some from dbm because i honestly love bigwigs and hope someday bigwigs gives the power of customization that DXE have.
Ok will see what the problem is for the break code and its probably the Raid break, when i done that only tested properly the Local break bar
As for Iron Maidens i will see when i get the chance on LFR (guild already killed them) but its strange if that happens because the player name is strait from combat log, there's nothing between the info (no encounter coding delay, nothing). So its must be an blizzard combat log bug. Do you run DXE with another bossmod ? If so did it showed the right player?
As for your request, i really have limited time but i can start doing work on that. Its a simple option to enter a custom value for x and y for all the anchors and choose their parent right?
As for now i have to fix some encounter bugs (Hi Thogar......) and tweak some others and finish my long wish that i always delay, a bar for Best kill time.

Posted Apr 8, 2015Hey Maev, amazing job at keeping this alive. Just got a few little niggles though which I've fixed some of it already for myself but I'm not sure if anyone else was getting these issues but thought it might be a good idea to bring it to attention just in case its not me tweaking things and breaking stuff.
First one is the break timer, its fine until I reload, relog or restart the game. For some reason the saved variables DXE.lua and DXE_Loader.lua are missing the 2nd value:
And when I get back into the game it's returning the comparison for nil value error. Which later on causes my alerts to stack on top of each other until I make it store the correct value.
The second issue is Iron Maidens (May just be mythic not done heroic or normal for a while), I've noticed that sometimes it displays the wrong player name for Blood Ritual and Rapid Fire. It's not everytime, but it happens.
PS. If you want any help with transcripts in the future for the next raid tier from PTR I can happily provide all the info so you can get the timers ready early and I can help start some of the boss lua tables.
Also minor request for the positioning of frames and my pixel perfect OCDness. If you ever get bored with enough spare time I would love it if you could add anchor parents (even though I'll probably end up using UIParent mostly anyway) and x,y coordinates for alerts positioning for finer control rather than drag with my mouse to roughly the right spot and editing the saved vars to integers. :P

15 seconds are only on Test Bars in Options
by default on an encounter that transition is 5 seconds but you can change individually per ability, its the Flashtime setting on encounter ability's bars. You will see that by default is set to 5 like Audio time is
But yes its a good idea to make a configuration for the default transition (the jump to center bar). Thinking on it by default it would be better 10 instead of 5

Posted Apr 3, 2015Is it possible to change the time it takes for a message in the Top Bars section to jump to the Center Bars section? Personally, I find 15 seconds a bit long.
Thanks!

i have tested it and haven't add any issue
if there was you wouldn't also get a message from dxe when you set it on weak auras
there must have been some addon interfering at that time....

Posted Mar 25, 2015Would be nice if you could add a notification which Player gets the "Convulsive Shadows" debuff in the Iron Maidens Mythic Encounter.
In addition it seems the Convulsive Shadows Cooldown is not working as it should. (Got no Bar for it in the fight today)
greetings

Posted Mar 29, 2015i apreciante the feedback especialy for mythic because in this expansion my experience in Mythic is almost zero
also the notification for Convulsive Shadows is a normal message saying "Convulsive Shadows on player" or you have in mind more about a bigger alert saying "Dispell player"
in normal/heroic was always better to not dispell it, is not the same on mythic?
