Capping

Version: 5.2.001

by: totalpackage [More]

Capping is just another battleground timer mod with some extras.

YouTube Intro

Current Features:

All battlegrounds/arenas have start timers
Alterac Valley - Node timers, auto quest turnins, and sync
Arathi Basin - Node timers and final score estimation
Eye of the Storm - Flag respawn timer, flag carrier display, and final score estimation
Isle of Conquest - Node timers and siege engine timer
Warsong Gulch - Flag respawn timer and flag carrier display with health percent
Wintergrasp - Start timer, wall alerts, and auto show zone map
Zone Map - Change scale, narrow, and hide border
Other - Port expiration timers, queue wait timers, scoreboard/capture bar/vehicle seat repositioning
Looking For Group - LFGStatusIcon support for LFD wait/port timers

How to use:

Show options - "/capping" or right-click on a timer bar/anchor
Toggle anchor - left-click on a timer bar or use options menu
Send time info to SAY - shift left-click on that timer bar
Send time info to BG - ctrl left-click on that timer bar
Hide timer bar (also leaves queue if related) - ctrl, shift, or alt right-click on that timer bar
Target carrier (in WSG or EotS) - left-click on the carrier's display
Send carrier info to BG - ctrl left-click on the carrier's display

Why no auto-release and auto-join?:

I try not to promote bad habits in my mods.
No auto-release because knowing when you should or should not release is a part of being a smart player in battlegrounds. For example, say there is five seconds left to capture blacksmith and you die there. Auto-release will send you to the starting area, but if you wait five seconds, you release to blacksmith graveyard.
Another reason not to use auto-release is to have time to spy on the flag carrier after a failed kill attempt.
Auto-join was useful when there were single queues and long wait time/afk time. Today is different, of course.
I'm not telling you how to play, just giving you my reasons.

Why no convenient "Incoming" and such buttons?:

The users and I had a discussion about this before when Capping was on wowace. If spoiled, the users would not type something important if there's no lazy way to do it. Am I right?.
Messages probably no mod covers:
1. Incoming? Well, how many? From which direction?
2. Incoming BS. Oh wait, they're going LM now.
3. Incoming BS, but we're all here already. I mean fight at the flag, they're capping.
4. Need help at MT...3 enemies behind
5. Incoming DR...3 stealth
6. Flag carrier going ramp side, almost dead
7. Flag carrier on the way up the roof, behind tree
8. ...and so on
Don't you love seeing "INCOMING BS" "INCOMING BS" "INCOMING BS" with 2 enemies incoming and 5 people already defending? After about 5 more come to help chase these 2 kills, you get spammed "BS CLEAR".
Plenty of standalone mods that do this, so use those if needed.

Known issues:

Narrow map setting will not work if Mapster is installed. Disabling the battlemap module in Mapster will fix this.

Hm, well at first I tried disabling Prat, thinking that maybe Capping got its info from the chat log, but that didn't help.

Based on your above comment, I tried disabling Cartographer, which has been giving me intermittent errors anyway, but the problem remains with Cartographer disabled as well.

I do have errors being reported, via Swatter, but I never actually get any errors with this problem that is occurring, so I have no log of any sort to send you.

Any other suggestions?

P.S. Love this add-on... thanks for making it *not* do too much for you, I truly appreciate the effort to provide useful information without dumbing down the gameplay. Nice work!

Sorry, profiles is in my list of doing too much. It's simple to have a setup that works for all characters.

Anyway, I've been using Capping for awhile - it's great. But lately the timers in AV have been going a bit wonky. Example: AV starts, Alliance cap Snowfall GY and the time pops up and starts counting down - no problem. Shortly thereafter, Horde caps Stonehearth, timer pops up and starts counting down. Caps continue to happen, and I have a list of about 8 or 9 different timers counting down, and then at some point, for some reason, every single one of them resets to 4 minutes and begins counting down from there, and it refuses to add any new caps, or remove a timer when a building is defended/burned. This started happening a few weeks ago, and I installed the latest update which didn't fix the problem. I deleted Capping entirely, along with its related files in teh Saved Variables directory and reinstalled from scratch, and still no luck. I've tried the "Request Sync" option in the options menu, and it doesn't seem to help either. Anything else I can try? (or additional information I can provide?) It's an odd problem, but I love using this mod, and hope the problem can be figured out! Thanks!

Have updated to latest version Have disabled all other addons Have had a look in config and Capping settings Which file is the config stored in? the only thing I can think of is somehow the map anchor is way off screen? Thanks for your help.

totalpackage A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 21 File comments: 862 Uploads: 2	I thought about such a feature before, but I think I passed on it since people would get used to it and want it for everything (node timer, port timer, etc). That'll defeat the purpose of having timer bars. Also, if you're ignoring the timer bar, you're going to ignore the text messages as well.

Aldair A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	Missed it again... I love this addon but even with it installed I still frequently miss the start of the Battle for Wintergrasp... Would it be possible to add a pop-up message on the screen at X minutes before the battle begins, and maybe an audible alarm at the same time? Thanks.

That's too much work and maintenance required to support so many mods. Maybe if there was just one. Plus you get chat alerts for those events, so just use the customizable features of those mods to alert you.

If it's possible, it's not something that will be in Capping.

Nope, I'm trying to limit options due to localizations.

I have no idea how to find out when I can accept the quests again - except flying in and looking, which is kind of annoying with several twinks.
