Core addon backport from retail by Barsoomx: (https://github.com/Barsoomx/DBM-wowcircle).
This repository aims to deliver more accurate timers and features from retail to all four Warmane WotLK realms - Icecrown, Lordaeron, Frostmourne and Onyxia.
- Boss modules now have dedicated fields for type of bar and associated voice speech (countdown for bars, and sound on Special Warnings)
- Support for Voice Packs:
- Integration with Bunny's Weakauras backport:
- And more!

Disclaimer: If you have used DBM before and you wish to save old DBM profiles, backup your WTF folder, because we will be performing a clean install as this is a retail backport and therefore it is not compatible with 2010's version of DBM. To proceed with the clean installation process, do the following steps:
- On your addons folder (Interface/Addons), select every DBM folder (everything that starts with DBM-) and delete them.
- On your SavedVariables folder (WTF/Account/[AccountName]/SavedVariables), select every DBM file (everything that starts with DBM-) and delete them. THIS STEP WILL REMOVE YOUR DBM CONFIGURATIONS/PROFILES!
- On each of your Characters SavedVariables folder (WTF/Account/[AccountName]/[ServerName]/[CharacterName]/SavedVariables). Select every DBM file (everything that starts with DBM-) and delete them. THIS STEP WILL REMOVE YOUR DBM CONFIGURATIONS/PROFILES!
With no remnants of old DBM files we are now ready to start the installation process.
- Download the addon from the main repository (https://github.com/Zidras/DBM-Warmane/archive/refs/heads/main.zip).
- Inside the zip file, open DBM-Warmane-main. Copy/Paste all those folders (DBM-Core, DBM-GUI, etc) into your addons folder (Interface/Addons). DO NOT put the DBM-Warmane-main folder directly into the addon folder, it will not work.
- Load your game client into your character selection screen. On the bottom left corner, click AddOns and enable all the DBM entries like so:
Updating DBM follows the standard procedure that applies to any addon installation. Everytime there are new changes*, do these steps:
- Download the addon from the main repository (https://github.com/Zidras/DBM-Warmane/archive/refs/heads/main.zip).
- Inside the zip file, open DBM-Warmane-main. Select all the folders (DBM-Core, DBM-GUI, etc) and press Copy (Ctrl+C).
- (Advisable) On your addons folder (Interface/Addons), before pasting, select the DBM folders that are there and delete them (you will not lose your profiles doing this, don't worry - those are on WTF folder and there is no need to touch that anymore). This ensures that there is no remnant file that could potentially conflict with latest releases.
- On your addons folder (Interface/Addons), Paste (Ctrl+V) the previously copied folders here. DO NOT put the DBM-Warmane-main folder directly into the addon folder, it will not work.
