Moving the bars and messages

The bars and messages plugins for BigWigs can be moved with an anchor that can be toggled on by clicking the "Toggle Anchors" button in the main menu. After moving them, the test function can give you a few bars and messages to test your position and if you're fine with it.

Remember that there are several bar textures available, as well as several output locations for the messages. You can learn more about how to create custom bar styles here.

How to trigger custom bars for your raid

BigWigs comes prepacked with a means of starting your own custom bars. You can access it with /raidbar. Lets say you want to start a boss timer for an ability that will happen in 60 seconds, you can do so with the command /raidbar 60 INCOMING!

If you get hungry during the raid

BigWigs comes prepacked with a module for starting custom bars, which is excellent for when your pizza is in the oven. Just throw that baby in there, run back to your computer, and execute /localbar 720 Pizza!. 720 seconds is 12 minutes, which you'll obviously want to configure to your liking :)

This bar is local to your client, and others won't be able to see it.

How to check what version other people have

Using /bwv, you can query the raid for what version of BigWigs your members have.

Remember that people do not always have to have the latest revision for things to work, please do not abuse the version query as most people do not enjoy upgrading things every day.
