Tonight in Sunwell (we did up through Felmyst) I didn't see any respawn timers. No error messages, didn't have debugging on, the mod was enabled and active, it just never showed any timers.
I don't see how grouping would require boss names or localization... just use the "shutoff" groups that are already coded into the addon.
@Nook - well that would involve adding babbleboss back in or a bunch of localized boss names which we just kind of got rid of.
I am not sure what babble boss does but too bad to hear that. It would be really nice to have a grouped option as most of the time the one thing you're interested in when looking at respawn timers is how much time (Minimum) you have before respawns start appearing and what boss you need to kill to get rid of it.
Maybe Ackis is on to something, otherwise thanks nonetheless for looking into it and again always a great addon.
Yeah. What Morgalm was aiming for, though was, for example, "Kalecgos Trash" as the display name. I put it to you to find a way of deriving "Kalecgos" from the mob ID of a Sunblade Protector without using babble or internal localization.

We have the database setup so that Kalecgos clears mobs x,y,z upon death.
But the problem is we don't have boss names such as Kalecgos anywhere. And there is no way to get it from UID. So what do we put in the timer name text?
I added the KJ stuff last night... the Sunblade Protectors.
Should be doing first 5 of sunwell tonight so I'll verify which timers work and which do not.
BTW I really liked the old logic of "if fubar then don't display bars else display bars"
No, they're big felreaver looking things. And they're called Shadowsword Guardian because I fail at memory.
That only shows the 1 (The shortest, probably first mob engaged) respawn timer for a certain boss and the boss name that the timer is linked to?
@Ackis - sorry was just trying to simplify options a bit

I don't think grouping would require babble boss... You'd just add another table for grouped mobs, or a flag for which group they're in?
And don't be sorry, was just posting my suggestion/opinion. :P

You could even do linkages/groupings based on which boss resets the timer... no localizations needed.

Just do a reverse look-up.
Easier said than done I know.

doesn't work either, does it?
Is localizing it such a bad idea?
Only change I made was to add a timer... I've been leaving the GUI stuff to you. (no need for more than one chef in the kitche)
Not sure what you mean?
