Also there were a few changes in the BigWigs-Api recently.
I didnt have a look at it , but Announces to /rw wont happen any longer it seems.
Maybe there is more
I could remove that line, but I honestly can't see how that line would stop it from working or how it would have worked properly without it, and nobody probably wants to wipe it on purpose to test it :) Also if it can get to the warning it should also be getting to the code that creates the bar. Very baffling.
Attached Combatlog from 4th boss in CoS (drake-mount boss)
Can't believe he's been so overlooked. I probably did nothing because the only thing it seems worth warning about is the Corrupting Blight which can't be dispelled. But I guess it's useful information for the healer to have so I added it in an alpha.
Did VH heroic tonight after reverting back to BigWigs r5890 with LittleWigs r596. I died before the first boss, but no wipes.
Most alerts worked fine but...again no bars between the boss kills and the next portal. Last raid warning message was consistently: "*** Next Portal in ~95 seconds! ***". The new "Added 15s portal warning..." did not happen.
Further reverted back to LittleWigs r589 (last one before the wipe checks) combined with BigWigs r5890 as I used before above.
Did VioletHold heroic again, no deaths/wipes. But received the proper timer bars after every boss which has not been happening with r590+. So it does look very likely those wipe checks are causing an issue with the bars, especially if you die or there is a wipe.

Okay I stripped out the wipe check and the resting of the portal numbers. It doesn't really matter what the portal number is between bosses really. Hopefully this will fix the problem.
LittleWigs r598, BigWigs r5890-5-release. Did Violet Hold, one person died (not me), the timer bars after bosses appeared properly.
Also received a BigWigs chat1 personal warning that "15 seconds to go" was happening. But that chat1 warning did not head to raid warning as the other alerts did.
Hmm, it's just a delayed message that prints a normal message, like any other, only 80 seconds later. Maybe I'll just remove the messages all together and only give you a bar to look at, I've never been rushed for time after a boss anyways.
I ran H VH last night. I got all bars and warnings in their appropriate places and times. Must have been something funky on your end Zidomo. But know that you're reports are appreciated. Thanks!
Why did you change the function regarding the defeat of the grandchampions? don't they fire unit_died events so we have to rely on localised triggers?
No, no UNIT_DIED events, and apparently don't have the trigger working right either. And the trigger happens to long after they are all down for my tastes, need to look into other solutions, I'll go through the logs again.

Nothing funky here. But r598+ appears to have fixed the issue; have run VH a few times and no problems with the bars showing up, wipes or not.

I have posted a beta of LittleWigs that will work with the new BigWigs release. I'm releasing as beta to hopefully get some initial testing. I tested as I could, but sadly I haven't had a 12 hour stretch to run every single instance :) Please open tickets at http://www.wowace.com/addons/little-wigs/tickets/ for any problems that you have. Also feel free to nudge me on #wowace on irc.freenode.net
r642 + BigWigs r6542 provide no boss raid warnings or any other personal alerts in the 5-man parties I did earlier (DTK) (among other raid problems). Here is the post in the BigWigs thread.
Looks like its back to the earlier release BigWigs/LittleWigs once again :(.
Getting a lot of errors in Ahn'Kahet. I was doing it in heroic mode.
AceLocale-3.0: Little Wigs: Prince Taldaram: Missing entry for 'embraceGain_message':
LittleWigs_Dragonblight-3.2\Prince_Taldaram.lua:43
AceLocale-3.0: Little Wigs: Prince Taldaram: Missing entry for 'embraceFade_message':

LittleWigs_Dragonblight-3.2\Prince_Taldaram.lua:54: attempt to concatenate global 'spellName' (a nil value)
I could have sworn I saw bad messages (as in the variable name, rather than plain english) during another boss fight, but that's all I had in my bugsack.
in The_Violet_Hold.lua ?

For consistent behavior and for alerting those trimming their toenails that the next spawn is soon, would be nice for sure.

Thank you, fixed in r653 alpha build.
