Capping

Version: 5.4.003

by: totalpackage, funkydude

* 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.

Beachcomber1 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	BG Minimap Combat Would really like to see players in combat as red on the battleground minimap. This was done in the Battlefield Commander 2 addon which is now broken. It was extremely useful for making at-a-glance decisions. I can use other mods for the chat barker stuff like "Our flag carrier is dying, please regrab" or "Enemy flag carrier is about to die, please cap", but the battleground minimap showing players in red who are in combat I have not been able to find in another addon.

tws A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	To those having problems with the minimap: Since the minimap simply did not work at all for me (strange behavior in terms of positioning, not dragable, etc.) i tried to fix it myself. Not knowing LUA at all, I just commented out all lines in the core.lua that seemed to have anything to do with the minimap part of the addon. To my surprise (honestly) it actually worked. Don't know if it will work for you, but if you want to give it a try, here's the code: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=35020 Just open your core.lua and replace the existing text with that one. PS: Not sure if it matters, but i had these settings before restarting my client and loading the "modified" Capping: http://yfrog.com/gvcappingp

blankx21 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	I've used this addon for quite awhile and love it, and only now do I appear to be having a problem. So just resubscribed recently after some months, loaded up the latest capping and despite my efforts the zone map absolutely refuses to narrow. I've deleted my wtf folder, only enabled capping, yet it never narrows. The option of narrowing it doesn't appear to do anything at all, whether it be on or off. Is the problem on my end? What could it be? Thanks!

This happens when you do not log out properly, like after a crash or power failure.

i dont think thats when it happens, otherwise all the other addons would have the same problem. there has to be something else that causes the offset.

and it even happens during the same session, when changing zones or so.

also when i do a reloadUI it sometimes changes the position of the map and the frames of the map (map/ towers, players, flag) get separated and when i move the map only the map moves and the other stuff stays where it is.

Please could you consider either adding cattleprod/cavedefendres functionality to capping or improve on/update the battleground afk autoreporting tools so that I don't have to keep manually reporting afk leeches.

I can post a screenshot if you want. Im using widescreen resolutions with max graphic settings if it matters. If you fix this problem me and about 6 of my friends will continue to use this, but until then were using different addons.

After line #843 add: Code: self:StartBar("Draw", 2760, 2760, select(3,GetSpellInfo(26013)), "info2")
