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.

Mike-N-Go A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 68 File comments: 147 Uploads: 18	Hello Mikma, Great mod! A few suggestions: 1) PlaySound() of something in addition to the 15 and 5 minute warnings 2) Support for scrolling text addons, like MikScrollingBattleText, to display scrolling text in the middle of the screen 3) A 'countdown' that would display from 60 seconds/5 minutes to 0 in big text, like the mod Arena Countdown 4) The hour and minute of when the next battle will start, not just a counter down to the event Scrolling text implementation: Code: frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elap) timer = WGTime-time() elapsed = elapsed + elap if elapsed <= updateperiod then return end timer = timer - elapsed if timer > 0 then local hours,minutes,seconds = ConvertSeconds(timer) if hours > 0 then output = hours.."h "..minutes.."m" elseif minutes > 0 then output = minutes.."m "..seconds.."s" else output = seconds.."s" end else output = "N/A" WGTime = 0 end if output == "15m 0s" or output == "5m 0s" then print(text4..output) if ( MikSBT and ( not ( MikSBT.IsModDisabled() ) ) ) then MikSBT.DisplayMessage(text4..output) else UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(text4..output) end PlaySound'ReadyCheck' elseif output == "0s" then print(text5) if ( MikSBT and ( not ( MikSBT.IsModDisabled() ) ) ) then MikSBT.DisplayMessage(text5) else UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(text5) end PlaySound'ReadyCheck' end WGTbroker.text = output elapsed = 0 end) With how I have coded the output to scrolling text, it will select MikSBT if it is loaded, or the default UIErrorsFrame if not. Fell free to change the sound or use more of the MikSBT API to color the text or whatever. I recommend these changes because I would sometime miss the quiet announce of the mod. __________________ Currently contemplating coming back to Authorship.. been away for years.

There already is. in AddOns menu (before logging in) uncheck the box infront of WintergraspTimer to disable it. I don't see the point why I should disable the warnings, basicly that's the reason why I coded this in the first place.

You really can't rely on GetMapInfo() if you do a quick visits in Wintergrasp. I found a area that was showing Icecrown as zone and still did show the timer on screen. So I just check if the timer is being shown in AlwaysUpFrame2 instead. Seems to work no matter what the GetMapInfo() returns.

Not yet. The code I got provided doesn't do a very good job if there's a fight going on, so I need to find a better way.

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.

*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.

I'd be nice if this mod worked with Fubar, or had some sort of slash command to check the time on wintergrasp.

Use broker2fubar.

Also this aint working with the

Next Battle:

display in wintergrasp when is that gonna be supported ?

Regards, Xeross

Edit: someone provided the patch for the world state, is it going to be implemented ?
