Boss Mods is an addon to help time boss abilities, track phases and give alerts.
This is currently in Beta
As some encounters are pretty random, some of the timers are an estimate of the "minimum" time between the ability in question. Some are pretty spot on and some might simply be a mistake by me in coding the encounter. Currently I have every Veteran Dungeon Boss coded in and the first 2 bosses in GA. Although I must admit for a few bosses the addon doesn't do much, for others it's a great help. Also sometimes bosses do weird buggy things that can throw things off a bit. I decided to release this to get some broader testing and feedback done, although I am currently working on alerts, I released this version without them as it's incomplete. I have a massive list of things to add to this that will only make it better and better.
Note: This will currently only work in the English Client, as I have to read a lot of the 'Datachron' chat events, and read from "GetCastName" which doesn't give a Spell ID. If anyone that uses the French or German version of the client wish to help me translate, please feel free to contact me.
To bring up the window to position it, type /boss
so the boss frame stopped working. i typed in /boss and clicked to reposition it
i clicked it to move it and and managed to completely minimize the window to the point where i can no longer see it. i tried reinstalling the mod and it didnt work.
Has this been abandoned?
Is there anything that we can do to help out? Im currently in a 6/6 GA raiding guild and we're doing progress on SD in Datascape. I would love to have this addon fully working for example GA.
Is this addon still being developed?
I'm still active, I actually have a build i've been testing myself for a few weeks to improve a few minor things. I've just been really busy lately.
yeah I want to add a lot of improvements to the raiding. The problem was I hadn't personally been in the raids yet since we were on a dead server, we just moved to Stormtalon this week and should finally get into GA this week. All of my GA work was based on guides and videos I had watched. I know I want to add the bomb thing for X-89, but I was waiting until I was actually in GA to properly test it out.
If your a dommie on stormtalon come apply to LD50, we have alot of addon enthusiests and several addon developers within our ranks. http://www.ld-fifty.com/
If you need any logs, my guild can supply them. My in game name on Stormtalon is Shoryu.
What would be very useful is octagonal lines that draw from Kuralak for egg phase placement. Is there currently API support for auto marking based on buff or debuff status? IE bombs on X-89 and eggs on Kuralak?
You sir are awesome! Thank you for this awesome addon
This looks like a gigantic load of work you're on ! Cheers !
The addon worked fine till i typed /boss now it wont show the phases any tip on getting the phases to show again?
Doesn't seem to work on the 2nd boss in GA, the "Phase 1/7" is ticking down but nothing is showing
Request: Resize and/or scaling options for the bar frame.It already exists, I'm a nubsicle.
This. Is. Win.
Interesting, awesome addon
Is there any way to have the time displayed on bars next?
Adding this in the next revsion, /boss will bring up an options window to toggle an assortment of features. Will hopefully get this up by tonight, tomorrow at the latest. It will come along with a few encounter tweaks as well.
can I turn off the auto whisper reply?
Oh for sure...will just have to see how much I can add to it. From what i've seen of the raid encounters a lot appear to be quite random with no strict timers or health % phases, but once the alerts and such come available I imagine it will be a bit more help.
