HowTo Use BossTactics as raidleader
Basical view
The raidleaders have some more options.
Insert new buttons
You can always add new buttons to the image panel. You can store this view like normal users, too.
Button operations
You can drag and drop every button on the image. You can delete them by choosing "x" or rename them by chosing "E".
Sessions
Raidleaders have also some more buttons at the bottom. Every raidleader can start a session. A session is used to connect you to the raid, if you start one, on every raidmember (if he has also BossTactics) will pop up the main frame and every moved or changed button, changed boss or instance, will be shown to everybody. You can end this by choosing the same button again because now it is named "end session".
"Raidleader Actions" give you some features which work most of the time only in raids. A special thing is the possibility to choose other raid leaders. This feature is only visible for the "real" raidleader because it is for promoting assistants to have also rights for explaining the tactics. It shows you this dialog:
On the left side you have a list of all current raid-assistants. To give them rights in BossTactics just put them to the right. You can do that for this raid or if you check the checkbox, for every raids. BossTactics will make sure that if you have another raid the raidleader assistans will be assistants of the raid as well. If on the right side someone is gray, he is not member of the current raid. So if you put those people to the left, they will just disapear.
"Paint" this button switches you from "Ping" mode to paint. If you are in a session you can ping on the map. But if you like to draw something with the mouse, just enable this by clicking on "Paint". But be careful, this causes lots of data in memory and also for sync. If you perform a sync you will have to wait sometime until the sync is finished. The idea is just to make some arrows, not to draw whole, big images!
"send ra-message" will send the bossoverview (text is on the right) in the raidchat.
"get versions" will update you version list, to see if everyone has the correct version.
"synchronize" will force a synchronize on all raidmembers, so if nobody is following you, you can force them again ;)
Stuff on the right side
There are three more panels for you. The versionoverview is just a list of you raid containing, if they have the right version AND if they are in synch with you when there is a session! So you can always see if sombody is watching just everything except your explanation.
The bossoverview contains a short message about the boss, every newline is a new /ra message.
The bigger one on the right is a little chat for raidleaders, only them can follow it. It has not the whole chat functionality like the WoW chat, but I hope it is usefull though.
