BigWigs Updates

[Shadowwolf]

I know for some its a pain to update addons, but I want to ask that if you are planning to participate in any Ulduar runs, you do your best to keep with the latest version of BigWigs. I am updating it about once a day (sometimes more if its big changes) on our site so you can always grab the latest version here:

http://www.twguild.org/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&task=download&id=30

The reason it's so critical this is the latest is because since Ulduar wasnt fully finished on the PTR for reasons of Blizz not wanting to give people a jump start on strategies, many of the boss alerts and whatnot are only now being made as people move through the instance. Its helpful to have the most accurate and up to date alerts since this instance is a little more challenging then the original 3 raids on WotLK so its crucial that you stay as up to date with it as possible. They make about 30-40 updates to BigWigs a day mostly for Ulduar stuff so its a lot to keep up with. Thats why I only post to our site once a day, makes it easier and we also arent raiding Ulduar every day, so its also less work =)

If you can, try to grab the latest off this link before you plan to log on for days you are running Ulduar. You dont have to update every day, but grabbing this file right before you log on for an Ulduar raid will definitely help keep everyone on the same or about the same versioning.

Thanks

Bigwigs r8897 (Release)

This is a release version.

Changelog:

• DragonSoul/Hagara: add options for that
• DragonSoul/Hagara: Basic focused assault stuff for main treat tank. #435
• DragonSoul/Yorsahj: Cosmetic tweak, on heroic, blizzard actually injects the new ooze into 3rd position, not 4th, so simply making message 1 2 4 3 will make bigwigs report same order the raid emotes do.
• DragonSoul/Yorsahj: tweak
• DragonSoul/DeathwingMadness: Not sure which way is better, having a bar expire followed by a 60 second cast might confuse some.
• DragonSoul/Morchok: separate the stomp/crystal options between Morchok and Kohcrom so they can be enabled separately.
• DragonSoul/DeathwingMadness: Since there is still a cata cast bar present, shorten the initial cata bar by 60 seconds to make it spell CD instead of 3 min cast bar, so there aren't two cat bars at once for last 60 sec.
• DragonSoul/DeathwingMadness: Better warnings, no crashes.
• DragonSoul/DeathwingMadness: comment out assault aspects for now, see if it helps anything.
• DragonSoul/DeathwingMadness: Asking people to test things with a typo gg

This is a release version.

Changelog:

Bigwigs r9057 (Release)

This is a release version.

Changelog:

• Loader: revert last and use an IsInInstance() check instead.
• Loader: Improve last so that we only check once when disabled instead of on zone change.
• Core: Tweak last, so it doesn't piss of archaeologists flying around with continent map open (ie, it'll only force map if actually in an instance, since we don't need it anywhere else)
• Core: Force SetMapToCurrentZone (hack) when zoning to work around a dumb issue with Astrolabe setting the map to whatever location it feels like, breaking our loading mechanism which relies on map ID's. E.g. when logging in onto the ship, Astrolabe forces the map to Tanaris, so BW doesn't load. :-( Hopefully no serious side-effects of this change.
• DragonSoul: zhCN/zhTW update (since we use :find on the emote you shouldn't need the %s in L.about_to_roll but the %s in L.rolling needs to be escaped with %%)
• DragonSoul/Morchok: Fix the bar not showing for Kohcrom's 2nd crystal cast.
• DragonSoul/DeathwingSpine: reduce the length of the roll triggers, Chinese might need fixed.
• DragonSoul: Unless it's different in Chinese WoW, it should be 40%, or am I wrong?
