Wintergrasp Timer

Version: beta18 (defunct)

by: Mike-N-Go [More]

This AddOn is not updated for 4.x.

It will remain
for posterity.

If you are still unabated, please show your support if you want this AddOn updated for 4.x. You can either donate, or show your support on the comments page.

As of May 20, 2009: This addon is unsupported for the time being. AddOn authoring was only a hobby of mine. Mike-N-Go is not currently playing WoW, thus not creating or maintaining mods for WoW. If someone wishes to submit a patch for one of my mods to WoWInterface, you may within the bounds of the license bundled with the mod.

Now with slashcommand-options!
/wgt or /wintergrasptimer [option]
screen - shows announcements on screen
chat - shows announcements in chat
sound - plays warningsound with announcements (Sound file is from Nintendo's (c) Smash Brothers, provided by HelpTheWretched (http://noproblo.dayjo.org/ZeldaSounds/).)
stopwatch - shows stopwatch when less than 5 minutes left
time - prints time left in chat

Note: Ownership of this file has changed to Mike-N-Go from Mikma. He has several new features that should be out soon(tm). The pictures do not necessarily reflect the latest version of the AddOn.

This leads to my previous comment

Prepare to be forked :P
It's easy to do... - this is like using globals just because you can. :P

The joys of allowing other people to upload patches. It's there, go go

Meanwhile, it takes me time to get this the way all possible users want. Some people like global channel, others hate it. I haven't coded any blizz-GUI stuff so options might take time too.

mikma A Cyclonian Forum posts: 45 File comments: 267 Uploads: 23	That's not addon's bug. The time given by the npc's goes slower than it should. you can see it by yourself if you add same time than WGT has in /stopwatch... I tested this myself and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. /stopwatch 50:00 and press start when WGT's timer hit's 50mins. You'll notice the times go hand by hand and both of them are off at the end.

I wanted the addon to pick up the time from the world info while in wintergrasp. Feel free to patch this in if you want. I have it limited to doing an update based on a changed world state no more often than every 10 seconds, feel free to tweak that however you like.

Code:

lastUpdate = nil
frame:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_WORLD_STATES")

Code:

    elseif event == "UPDATE_WORLD_STATES" then
    	local rightNow = time()
        if lastUpdate == nil or lastUpdate + 10 < rightNow then
           local mapName = select(1,GetMapInfo())
           if mapName == "LakeWintergrasp" then
               local worldState = select(3,GetWorldStateUIInfo(8))
               if worldState ~= nil then
                  local check = worldState:match("....")
                  if check == "Next" then
                     local timeString = worldState:match("%d:%d%d:%d%d")
                     if timeString ~= nil then
                        local h,m,s = string.split(":",timeString)
                        WGT = rightNow + h*3600+m*60+s
                        broadcast()
                     end
                  end
               end
           end
           lastUpdate = rightNow
        end

I'm not sure if this a bug that always exists, or is only caused by my changes but I also had to put some nil checks in to chat_msg_addon because it was script erroring under certain circumstances.

Code:

    elseif event == "CHAT_MSG_ADDON" then
        local prefix,message = ...
        if prefix == "WGT" then
            if message == "timerequest" then
                if WGT ~= nil and WGT > 0 then
                   broadcast()
                end
	    else
                if WGT ~= nil and WGT == 0 then
                   WGT = message
                end
           end
        end

Most likely, but because I only know two languages, and one of them is English, I can't do it myself.

totalpackage A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 27 File comments: 940 Uploads: 10	I was planning to make my mod sync timers with this mod; however, I notice that the time being synced by this mod is based on time(). According to the wowwiki's description of this function, it depends on the end user's system. If this is true, I suggest just syncing the time remaining instead of the end time.

*EDIT*: Yeah, I'll change the broadcast to be time left. Still, the time saved needs to be in "estimated"-form so I don't have to change the SV with every OnUpdate.

mikma A Cyclonian Forum posts: 45 File comments: 267 Uploads: 23	After spending some time zoned in Wintergrasp, waiting for the battle to start, I had some time to play with the timer. Thing I noticed was the ingame /stopwatch goes as it should, and the time displayed in the zone/ by npc's in Dalaran goes slower. I started comparing the times at 14m 30s left, and when the /stopwatch was about to run out (00:03), the Wintergrasp event-timer turned 00:25. So with quick math, I'm now multiplying the value returned from NPC's by 1.025 -> The REAL lenght for the next battle is 2h 33m 45s! I'll see what happens when my timer gets near 0, is it any closer to the time announced by NPC's or not.
