What is Allara Boss Core?

Allara Boss Core (ABC) is a lightweight boss encounter engine that allows external add-ons to register encounter definitions using a simple table format. Some of the features it provides include:

Acts as an add-on loader
Pull, defeat, and wipe detection
Auto restart of your encounter if disconnected
Boss target detection
Combat log parsing and dispatching
Encounter yell and emote dispatching
Synchronization
Raid player tracking, including disconnect detection

Writing add-ons that utilize ABC

Do I need to download this ABC?

Only download ABC if you want to use another add-on that requires it. ABC doesn't do anything by itself, it's merely a framework for add-on authors to quickly develop boss mods.

Slash commands
