Capping

Version: 5.4.003

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.

Cawas A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	"auto" release Not sure if this was suggested already, but neway... Instead of having the auto-release feature, why not having a key to bind to release button? To me the main problem is having to press that thing with the mouse (or trackpad in my case), so having a shortcut keyboard key to it would be awesome!

On your main world map, there's a dropdown menu in the upper left corner. If that doesn't work, use Capping to reset the map location.

mikemonk A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Can't display the minimap I just transfered servers, and all my settings were erased. Since this happened, I cannot get the minimap to display. I have tried all the settings, but I cannot make it reappear. I had a similar problem a really long time ago, where the map was off the visible part of the screen. I could just see a tiny bit of it on the edge of the screen, and was able to drag it into view. Now however, I can't find anything. Your mod is fantastic, any help on the map would be appreciated. EDIT: Upon reading the previous comments, you might have addressed this.

What features of Hellfire towers need support? Capping can already move the capture bar and the world status frame.

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, this comment got buried with my other mods. Make sure your make is enabled to be shown in the first place by checking the dropdown box in the world map.

I haven't kept up with it, but check out battlegroundfu or something like that and it's alternatives.

I think it's on Blizzard's side.

It is not really a bug, you could argue about it, but
In the past any commtraffic sent to "RAID" while being in a BG, would silently fail
Nowadays you get the "you arent in a raid " message.
It's the addons that need to add a check for that currently.
You could use StopAddonMessage or YAIAP /you arent in a party fix (debug mode) to find out the addon causing this message.
