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


AB Defender was created by Riel Kil'Jaeden GER EU, based on FaraFrames by Farang.

    but it is possible to change to one of the known locales from the options menu. Thanks to ninjadall on
    Curse for the suggestion.

    Added French language translations.  Thanks to phxsnt on Curse for the input.

    Updated German zone names for SOTA, TP and GIL

BG Defender 1.5.3
    Added option to hide 'BGDefender' preface to announcement messages
    Added support for Tol Bard, Battle of Gilneas and Twin Peaks
        Note however German localization is not translated, so zones may not be detected

BG Defender 1.5.2 (Shoogi)
    Added options frame to select announcement channels (/bgd options, or select "o" button on window)

    Fixed initialization to now recognize if you reload or log into the instance instead of zoning in

BG Defender 1.5.0
    Reworked a fair bit of BG Defender (Shoogi)
        - added support for L10N, but would need input on zone names
        - removed changing of messages - a nice but not necessary feature
        - added support for WoW 4.0.1
        - fixed bugs (mousemoves, events, and others)
        - changed status message to be informative and allow debugging

    To install just copy the BGDefender folder into your \World of Warctaft\Interface\Addons\ directory.
    You will probably need to deactivate or uninstall WSG,AV,EoS or AB Defender if you have them installed.

    BG Defender localization for the German language completed (Thanks too Kazagore, Tomslayer and BenChavo with translations)

    Thx,

    Shaboo Frostmourne

    P.S. If you would like to see BG Defender localized for another language just post the zone name for each battleground as it appears in WoW on http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/8921/

    I love this addon, but I didn't like the original text of the messages.  I've changed mine, and I get a lot of compliments and inquiries about it.  How can I send y'all my updated text, so you can possibly include it as standard?

    There're 2 translated error in zhCN.  You can go to the locales folder and change the line to BGD_EOTS    = "风暴之眼"   and  BGD_GIL     = "吉尔尼斯城".

    What does the "m" button do? (Top right) All it did for me was suddenly become a "p" button, which just confused me further. LOL

    That button makes is "Movable" or "Pins" is so the window cannot be moved.

    I think I found the issue - the ENUS file was over-riding the other locale files, so the zone matching was failing for non enUS clients.  This should be addressed in 1.6.2.  Let me know if there is still any issue with the non enUS clients.

    Cheers,

    Shoogi

    I'll look into the issue tonight.  What helps is if you run "/bgd status" to check the name of the zone and subzone as well as the list of allowed battleground zones.  If either the zone detection fails or if there is a mismatch in the list of allowed zones, it might show up in the status.

    When the problem occurs, which language is the wow client using?  Also, are you using the locale change feature or leaving it set to the default?

    Regards,

    Shoogi
