Describe the problem

Before TWW Bigwigs used to almost always have a drop down under the sound tab for each boss mechanic. Since TWW season 1 launch, many mechanics are missing this option. One important example for healers: Exhaust Fumes on Vexie and the Gear Grinders. Healers often want a sound corresponding to raid wide damage events. In Dragonflight that was possible every time I tried. In TWW, it's missing in most of the cases that I care about as a healer.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Select the "Raid bosses" tab
  2. Open "The War Within" section
  3. Click "Liberation of Undermine"
  4. "Select Encounter" "Vexie and the Geargrinders"
  5. next to "Exhaust Fumes", click ">>" button
  6. Open the "Sound" tab
  7. notice that there is only an option to select a countdown voice. There is no option to select a sound like "Temple Bell"

What version of BigWigs are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)

BigWigs 373 (9b49b21)

Do you have an error log of what happened?

Any additional information? (example: WoW language if not English)

If there's a chance you will work on this, I will happily go through and find every mechanic that is missing this option and should not be. The reason I switched to Bigwigs from DBM was that bigwigs wasn't missing certain settings for mechanics. DBM had random settings that were different for each mechanic. Bigwigs had the same options for all mechanics, making it possible to successfully customize settings during raid after a wipe. Bigwigs is becoming more like DBM in a bad way. It is imitating the DBM behaviors that made me switch away from DBM.

We have a script which generates this, if they don't show it's either a) no sound or b) broken.

in this case there is no sound for this ability (so its case A), as it's an explosion from the tank getting hit we didn't give it a sound or a warning. We can do that though.

If there are more of these, do I make an issue for each? or make one issue with a list of all the ones I find?

We've updated Exhaust Fumes to have a message and a sound, for the bomb explosion however we are not changing. You can put it on countdown or change the bar colour if you want to have it more clear when it happens.
