DBM stop auto skipping npc chat option

Hello everyone, don’t really post on forums too much and not sure which category this would fall under, but my question was:

Does anyone know how to stop DBM from cutting dialogue chat options with npcs?

I have found out how to stop DBM from cutting cinematics, however I cannot find the chat option anywhere. When I try to talk to an NPC it just closes the window and chooses the dialogue answer automatically (Ex: Halls of valor m0, the bosses before Odyn, it just opens and closes the window in less than a second and starts the fight).

Hmm, is that a DBM option? I thought it might have been one of my other addons. Let me check.

I turned off DBM and everything worked normal, as soon as i enabled it again, it skipped again, so mostly just curious instead of having to keep enabling/disabling everytime i do old dungeons/raids/etc…

Ok, I think I found it.
Core Options → Global Disables & Filters → Misc Global Disable & Filter Options → check the “Do not automatically handle gossip dialogs” box

I liked it. It let me teleport instantly in vault

Hmm didnt work…I was so excited because that totally looked like the answer. I just changed halls to normal, engaged 1st boss with option on, again it skipped. on 2nd tried /reload, again skipped. on the 3rd/4th boss I exited the game and relogged but unfortunately skipped again :frowning:

I’m pretty sure the only boss with a dialogue option in HoV is Odyn himself. The others are hostile automatically. Unless you’re talking about something else.

I have the Angry Keystones addon that has a similar “auto-select gossip entries” option, so if you’re sure, try checking something else you’ve installed that’s dungeon/raid related.

I left Odyn for last, I just engaged him but still skipped, I will look at my other addons, but its just weird cause when I disable DBM it works fine.

These are the addons i have:

Auctionator
DBM
DBM Dungeons (All Dungeon Mods)
Details
Handy Notes (almost all of them)
Max Dps
Prat
RareScanner
Tome of Teleport
Tomtom
TSM
World quest tab

just stop using dbm.

Unfortunately I might have to do that, its the only dungeon/raid addon i have ever used, but I guess its better than off and on and off and on again

DBM does not do that. Another addon is doing that.

Ah, well if that’s the case, I’m not sure what else you could try. Other than fiddling around with various DBM options and seeing if something sticks. Sorry.

Ya ill keep trying to mess around with everything I got and see if i can find an answer. Thank you very much for all of the help you gave though :D…If i do find anything out I will post an update here.

Oh and just for clarity for anyone curious:

the bosses before Odyn (King Ranulf (1st) King Haldor (2nd) then together King Bjorn and King Tor (3rd) have a dialogue before engaging:

“Are you prepared?”
Our choice: I challenge you, King Name

Now time to mess around and see if I can keep this dialogue window open with dbm :slight_smile:

Update:

So after turning off ALL addons and only keeping DBM on its DEFINITELY DBM…however, having both DBM and DBM Dungeons (All dungeon Mods) installed I tried the following:

Regular DBM (Core/Options GUI/Status bar) It worked fine, as soon as I loaded the Dungeon Mods (Legion in particular because of Halls of Valor) it happened again.

So Im guessin the DBM (Dungeon Mods version) is just meant to cut timers down for keys and maybe some other helpful tips, afaik dont see an option there to keep dialogue.

Go to DBM Boss Options > Legion > Dungeons > Halls of Valor > Halls of Valor Trash and scroll all the way down. You’ll see an option that says “auto select gossip to start fight when interacting with Odyn”. This is just an example for this particualr boss/dungeon. if you want to disable this option for any other dungeon then you’ll need to do the same as i mentioned above. hope this helps
