Mod request: Adding zone to WorldDefense alerts?

Greetings everyone,

I am in need of your help. I have been looking for a mod, a bit like the now long gone PVPLocation. A simple mod that will help people like me, who simply cannot remember where places are, when alerts pop up on WorldDefense. In short, a mod that will add the zone to the WorldDefense message, like...

[3. WorldDefense] Orgrimmar is under attack!

changes to

[3. WorldDefense] Orgrimmar (Durotar) is under attack!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards, Kugar

Hmm, maybe that'd be doable with another text-replacement mod as well :) (ex. search incoming messages in the channel "WorldDefense" for keywords like Orgrimmar, Crossroads, and stuff like that, and then if it found a word like that, the name of the zone would show up, bracketed (or with parentheses), just like you suggested :)

Doesn't sound like a difficult project, not at all..... if you only have some .lua-skills :/

Well, I'll be honest and say that I haven't got a clue about .lua, so I was hoping that someone who does, could spare a bit of time doing it. Or pick up the dead PVPLocation mod perhaps :)

This would definitely be possible but would take quite a bit of time to put together. You would have to figure out all of the wierd obscure locations and have an entry for every single one in the addon.

Out of curiosity I looked in the old PVPLocation files, and it does seem to have all the weird obscure locations listed (though I admit it looked a bit messy), so I presume it shouldn't take too much work, for someone who knows what to look for in the coding, to get it straightened out and make it compatible with the latest WOW version.

well, if compatible means same toc number, even I should be able to do it ^^ But if it's for pre-BC game versions, I bet there's more things to be done than just updating the toc :/

Aye, I've tried that a while ago out of pure desperation, but it didn't work out :/
