About BG Defender
BG Defender (Based on AB Defender) gives you a little movable window with buttons to announce the number of incoming enemies at the base you're defending in AB, EoS, AV and WSG. There are also buttons to call for help or announce the base you're defending is safe. BG Defender will automatically pop up when entering a battle ground and close after you leave.
/bgd - to show/hide window
/bgd help - to show all commands

I get a similar error (BGDefender has been blocked from an actton only available to the Bilzzard UI) when attempting to Queue for AV - but not all the time and some of my toons (lvl 90s) seem to not get the error as much. I have show LUA errors on - but I just get the blizzard dialog.
One other addon author (sorry can't remember which one) claimed that this sort of error was a Blizzard bug - and I'm starting to come around to that view.
And, for example,I couldnt queue because of the error, so I allowed Blizzard to disable the BGDefender addon, then queued succesfully, then re-enabled BGDefender (without logging off by using an Addon called "Addon Control Panel") , did an AV, exited and now I CAN queue for AV
So I dont think its the Addon which has the bug - its blizzard
Yeah, I've seen that from time to time too. Don't know what is causing it but I suspect it might have something to do with reforging, as it usually shows up right after that.
Just hitting the ignore button and then doing a "/reload" solves the problem for me.
Hi, just got this
1689x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn "BGDefender" tried to call the protected function "CompactRaidFrame1:Show()".

I've got a workaround that might solve that issue, try version 1.6.4.1 and see if that works better. With that version, as long as you don't open the addons options window, you should be fine.
The only enabled addons were: BGdefender, Bugsack, Buggrabber.
I get the following after I enter combat in a BG:
3x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn "BGDefender" tried to call the protected function "CompactRaidFrame11:Show()". !BugGrabber-r191-release\BugGrabber.lua:587: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:587> <in C code> FrameXML\CompactUnitFrame.lua:279: in function "CompactUnitFrame_UpdateVisible" FrameXML\CompactUnitFrame.lua:237: in function "CompactUnitFrame_UpdateAll" FrameXML\CompactUnitFrame.lua:97: in function <FrameXML\CompactUnitFrame.lua:44>

What were you doing when the error occurred and does it still happen if you disable all other addons?
Great addon, but this version is constantly spamming my UI with errors.

I'm sorry but I don't think those errors are related to this addon, it's most likely another addon that's to blame. Try disabling all other addons and see if the problem goes away.
those in which the addon does not work in Eye of the Storm c is simply because the apostrophe is not coded corectement, it must be written like this in Lua :
L’Œil du cyclone
so it looks like this :
BGD_HELP = "Besoin d'aide à $base."
BGD_SAFE = "$base sécurisée."
BGD_INC = "$num ennemis en approche à $base."
BGD_INCPLUS = "Plus de 5 ennemis arrivent à $base."
BGD_AV = "Vallée d'Alterac"
BGD_AB = "Bassin Arathi"
BGD_WSG = "Goulet des Chanteguerres"
BGD_WSL = "Scierie des Chanteguerres"
BGD_SWH = "Fort d'Aile-argent" ???
BGD_EOTS = "L’Œil du cyclone"
BGD_SOTA = "Rivage des Anciens"
BGD_IOC = "Île des Conquérants"
BGD_TP = "Pics-Jumeaux"
BGD_DMH = "Bastion Gueule-de-dragon"
BGD_GIL = "La bataille de Gilnéas"
BGD_WG = "Joug-d'hiver"
BGD_TB = "Tol Barad"
BGD_AWAY = "Vous n'êtes pas assez près d'un point à défendre!"
BGD_OUT = "Vous n’êtes pas dans un Champ de bataille!"
BGD_GENERAL = "Général"
Thanks for reporting the issue, the French translation is updated in version 1.6.4.
nothing and thank you for the appreciation in the changelog ;)
I've used this addon for years and something has always irked me about it. It's just the way the wording is. For instance, instead of "Lumber Mill Help Needed", just say 'needs help'. Sounds less like an addon. There should be a button for when a node is lost. Also, if it is possible, cross reference the names of the nodes and have the addon change then to LM for example instead of Lumber Mill. It would be perfect.
Every time scanning the AH this error pops up:
