Capping

Version: v7.0

by: funkydude , totalpackage

Capping is a battleground timer mod with some extras.

Current Features:

All battlegrounds/arenas have start timers
Ashran - Event timers, battle timer, graveyard timer
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

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.

Look for this bit of code in core.lua and change only the highlighted parts...

local function WGSoon(remain)
if remain < 60 and remain > 59 and not Capping.wgwarned then
Capping.wgwarned = true
RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent(RaidBossEmoteFrame, "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING",

format(_G.NEXT_BATTLE, 0, 1, 0))
end
end

...and change to this...

local function WGSoon(remain)
if remain < 900 and remain > 899 and not Capping.wgwarned then
Capping.wgwarned = true
RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent(RaidBossEmoteFrame, "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING",

format(_G.NEXT_BATTLE, 0, 15, 0))
end
end

...now you have a 15 min timer for WG and TB. While I am here, thank you for making this wonderful and useful addon! Enjoy.

I think you should just be able to disable each of them on its own.

I posted 17 seconds until win and a few seconds later the other side won. Perhaps it is just the calculation of resource points causing the issue... Eye of the Storm has similar issues, my timer will say 1600 for a few seconds before the round ends. In both cases until it is fixed this add-on is not so useful. I saw it posted that Twin Peaks works like WSG. Can we get the names of the flag carriers like we have in WSG?

Meaning when I set it to grow down in the world it grows up in the BG. Options > Time Bar > Other > Flip Bar Stack Cheers!

If you can while you're in each battleground, run this script and report the output. Code: /run SetMapToCurrentZone() local z=GetMapInfo() print(z)

For Twin Peaks, there are flag carriers, right? What are the messages given when someone picks up, drops, and captures a flag?

When flag is picked up:
The <Side> flag was picked up by <Nick>!

When flag is dropped:
The <Side> flag is dropped by <Nick>!

When flag is returned:
The <Side> flag is returned to its base by <Nick>!

When flag is captured:
<Nick> captured the <Side> flag!

Thanks. I will probably have something before New Years. Tol Barad was the only one I got to try, and you're right about it not having anything worth tracking.

For Twin Peaks, there are flag carriers, right? What are the messages given when someone picks up, drops, and captures a flag?

For The Battle of Gilneas, what is the format of the score as displayed on the world pvp display. For example, AB shows "Bases: 3 Resources: 0/1600".

Twin Peaks
Just clone of WSG.
After cap flag respawn after 20 sec.

The Battle of Gilneas
3 node AB-like BG. 2k points to win.
Only start countdown timer working.

Nodes:
Mines - AB Mine icon
Lighthouse - AV Tower icon
Waterworks - AB BS icon

First capture of node X:
<Nick> claims the <node X>! If left unchallenged, the <Side> will control it in 1 minute!

Next capture of node X:
<Nick> has assaulted the <node X>!

Capture blocked:
<Nick> has defended the <node>!
The <Side> has taken the <node>!

Capture complete:
The <Side> has taken the <node>!

Node names begin with a lowercase letter.

Point gain speed:
1 nodes - 10 points per 9sec
2 nodes - 10 points per 3sec
3 nodes - 30 points per 1sec

Tol Barad
I was only at one - Karazhan is very unbalanced server.
But I don't see anything worth tracking by additional timers.
AFAIK all you need is build-in time to win/lose timer.

What you need more? I can check anything with friends.

I'll try to finish this work for you when I'm done with all my work. This addon one of the best three addons that I have. If you are going to stop updating this mod, the only I can tell is, VERY THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE. Clicking and seeing the flag carrier's health never been so easy, and now that rated battlegrounds is a possibility, this addon is more useful than ever. Also I prefer this timers instead of the deadly boss mods bars.
