About Boss Notes

Boss Notes provides shareable notes and other information for your guild, party and raid community. The add-on lets you take notes from your boss encounter learnings and share this information with other players. You can also use Boss Notes as a general, structured in-game notepad. In addition, Boss Notes records trash and boss abilities and provides a collection of short encounter tactics.

Boss Notes is based on a modular design. The standard distribution contains the Personal Notes, Abilities and Tactics modules. Extension modules can provide additonal functionality.


Usage

If you have a Lightweight Data Broker (LDB) container add-on such as Titan Panel, Boss Notes shows in that container. Left-clicking the Boss Notes icon toggles the Boss Notes window; right-clicking the icon shows the options.

If you do not have an LDB container, type /bn toggle to show the Boss Notes window and /bn options to show the options.

Boss Notes provides a key binding to toggle the Boss Notes window. You may want to assign a key to that binding to gain quick access to Boss Notes.

You may want to check Rotes's code for a sample on how to add mousewheel support for a tooltip. I dunno where it is, but this addon has this functionality somewhere in the creation of a route. Hope this helps.

For the time being, this is the work arround. I hope to include a scroll bar in the drop down at some point in the future.

The instance list "drop down" actually drops up for me. Right off the edge of the screen in fact. I can only select about the last 10 in the list.

Any suggestions?

Think this addon will really help my Raid runs alot... If I can get it to work right for me.

There is a Tactics module that provides exactly that: short textual encounter tactics. These are maintained by DrKazza. He has already submitted notes for the new dungeon & raid in patch 3.2. It's just me who has not gotten arround to merge them.

I assume that you want to create a zhTW translation. What exactly is the problem with the translation?

I would recommend that you base your translation on the enUS locale as the Chinese locale has not been updated for quite some time.

What text are you refering to?

- Personal Notes can already be copied by Ctrl+A / Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (in the editor)
- Abilities can be copied by Shift-Click
