    Capping  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
    Version: 5.3.001
    by: totalpackage [More]
    * Capping is now in maintenance mode. If anything needs to be changed/added, please contribute the code.

    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.

    I believe I have a mostly working version of Capping for patch 5.0.4. Edit the following lines to get yours working too:

    battlegrounds.lua
    Lines 62, 63, 65, and 66 -- change "WorldMap_GetPOITextureCoords" to "GetPOITextureCoords"

    Lines 565, 641 -- change "GetNumRaidMembers" to "GetNumGroupMembers"

    If the author doesn't come back after MoP releases, I'll look into adding code for any new BGs, etc. I'll then do a fan release.

    Otherwise, I think that the current version works just fine with the edits I mentioned.

    Jups, thank you, works for me
    The addon hasnt been worked on by author since 2011 sometime, either someone with coding skills steps forward to make a fan update, or we will have to wave bye bye to a great addon. But I do thank the original author - it was a great addon.

    WSG flag carriers
    Really nice AddOn!

    I have, though, encountered a problem; when in WSG the flag carriers name plates are showed ontop of the Blizzard default plates, do you know how I can disable the Blizzard default plates?

    And futhermore, I can't get the health % to show next to the carriers names :/

    Hey, in the image of the zone map for this addon, it shows party members class-colored and numbered by group. However, I can't figure out how to set it up that way.

    Also, is there any chance of adding a "Bases needed to win" tracker for, say, AB? Cheers.

    I'm having the same problem, my whole score board looks like a mess, I'd rather just disable them but I can figure out how.
    Could you please make it so that when Capping is enabled the default flag carrier from the Blizzard UI is disabled. Thank you.

    I know the addon Move Anything can do it but would appreciate it if you made that option default since Capping is such an awesome addon.

    I'm having the same problem, my whole score board looks like a mess, I'd rather just disable them but I can figure out how.

    Just because i diden't like your view on incoming buttons:
    Messages probably no mod covers:
    Incoming? Well, how many? From which direction? who cares, people aren't blind and usually there's only 1 way to get there. if i report inc LM and you are at stables it doesn't matter where they comes from. you take the shortest way up. if you are at BS you can see where they go.
    Incoming BS. Oh wait, they're going LM now. If you add rightclick 'BS Safe' this isn't a problem. you report safe then inc LM
    Incoming BS, but we're all here already. I mean fight at the flag, they're capping. that got nothing to do with reporting incoming. if they don't fight at the flag, they are doing it wrong
    Need help at MT...3 enemies behind
    Incoming DR...3 stealth
    Flag carrier going ramp side, almost dead
    Flag carrier on the way up the roof, behind tree
    ...and so on
    Its better to have the option to report inc even tho its not reporting how many. i always report inc and usually always get help. i don't type to fast so if i where to start reporting where they come from and how many there are im probably dead before i hit enter.
    same if i get 2 rogues popping up behind my ass, i can't start typing while fighting them. meaning i would die and they would start capping before i can report. having a button would mean i could get help before i die.
    I have macros to do this for me now but i would love to see it in the addon.

    incoming spam is sure as hell more useful than timer spam.
