Deadly Boss Mods for WoW

Deadly Boss Mods 12.1.19 is the boss-mod pack. It ships as several folders, one per content family, plus a core. Disabling a single raid module does not remove the core. The Midnight write-ups I used say boss mods still load, with less precise timers, because combat state is hidden from addons. That is a limit, not a deletion.

Compatibility and installation

BigWigs is the other boss mod and it is only a row on the addon table here. I am not writing it up as a second page. People comparing the two want the Midnight sentence: both are in the "still loads, less precision" group in the sources I kept.

On Warmane, a 3.3.5a server, the retail DBM zip will not load. That client needs a backport, and the Warmane page is where I put the realm-specific modules. Do not rename the retail folders and expect Icecrown warnings.

The command surface is the DBM config panel rather than one famous slash command. If the bars never appear, check that the module for the raid you are in is enabled. A core with every module off looks exactly like a broken install.

A boss-mod core can be current while a content module targets another expansion. Keep both names when comparing a download or saved profile. The Warmane backport is maintained separately from current retail DBM, so a matching project name alone does not identify its client target. Read the backport repository rather than substituting the retail version number.

Questions

Where do I put Deadly Boss Mods?

Unzip so the folder DBM-Core, DBM-GUI and per-expansion modules sits in that client's Interface/AddOns directory. The folder table lists the client path.

Does Deadly Boss Mods have a Midnight build?

Works on 12.1.7; boss timers less precise inside instances
