chatprint5 = "time (prints time left in chat)"

/sorry for my english

Thanks for the translation, I'll add it when I get around to it, like in a week. I have plans to renovate this addon and ace it up. There are a few of the translations, like the name of the shouting NPC, that need to be exactly correct, so, after I add this localization, please let me know if it works correctly or not.

How about an option to enable/disable it?

Makes more sense than the current readout imho

I think this would be a good to try this display style in the broker text.

No need to do per char, as then we would have to update it manually for each character... Add code like this to PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event:

Code:

realmName = GetCVar("realmName");

And save WGTime to a table and use the time like this:

Code:

myTable[realmName] = WGTime

I would recommend to use a table to for the SV, AND have the number var WGTime for the current server.

This suggestion is not as simple/easy as SVPC, but it is more dynamic in that the user does not have to update the time on each character, because they might not be in an addon channel that another user of this addon has.

This leads to another possible feature: Showing of WG start times on other server. Though most players likely do not have high levels on different servers, so not the most useful feature.

Now, Bossmods and Omen use the bordercoloring too. This might be the reason why it's propably not a good idea to color it at all :P will be confusing and near epileptic.

Check out Omen:Flash(), Omen:Warn(), and Omen:Shake(). It is an easy way to do shaking/flashing of the screen. And about confusion. Just add a check if the player is not in combat when you use one of the alert features. As far as I remember, Omen/Bossmods only do stuff in combat =]; so it would be fine IMO if your mod flashed the screen out of combat.

Battle in progress

While battle in progress addon show "N/A", but imo it's a bit annoying. Also if someone ask about WG you have to stop battle and answer manually. So I've modded it such way :

Code:

text12 = "Time Remaining:";
local vehicles1, vehicles2
...
elseif event == "UPDATE_WORLD_STATES" then
	local timeString = ""; local insideWG = false;
        if AlwaysUpFrame3 and AlwaysUpFrame3:IsShown() and AlwaysUpFrame3Text:GetText():match(text12) then
	 -- Battle in progress. We can accure number of Vehicles
	    vehicles1 = AlwaysUpFrame1Text:GetText():match("%d*/%d*"); vehicles2 = AlwaysUpFrame2Text:GetText():match("%d*/%d*"); 
	    timeString = AlwaysUpFrame3Text:GetText():match("%d%d:%d%d"); insideWG = true; inProgress = 1; timeString = "0:"..timeString;
    	     end
	elseif AlwaysUpFrame2 and AlwaysUpFrame2:IsShown() and AlwaysUpFrame2Text:GetText():match(text7) and WGTime == 0 then
            timeString = AlwaysUpFrame2Text:GetText():match("%d:%d%d:%d%d"); insideWG = true; inProgress = 0; print("a1");	    
	    controlDetection();
	end

Your code is weird, and I don't see the idea of detecting the control. :P

A bit more moddy

On our server I've to announce LFM, so I've to make a small mod to simplify this.

------------------------------------

Code:

    text10 = "LFM WG."
    text11 = ".Whisper for inv, or type inv here";
    .....
OnClick = function(self, button)
    .....
	if IsAltKeyDown() then
	    if button == "LeftButton" and WGTime > 0 then
                ChatFrameEditBox:Show()
                ChatFrameEditBox:SetText(text10..text3..output..side..text11)
	    end
	end

------------------------------------
And I'm still missing "control detection" feature, because most pvp players reside in SW/IF and don't have a Wintergrasp buff, so I make it such way.

Code:

local bSide = -1;
local side = "UNKNOWN";
local detection_control = 0;
...
local function controlDetection()
  if (detection_control - time() <= 0)  then
	bSide = -1;
	-- Run detection once in 5 mins ... to save resources
	detection_control = time() + 300;
	-- Contol detection --
	local buffs, i = { }, 1;
	local buff = UnitBuff("player", i);
	side = "Enemy";
	while buff do          
	  buffs[#buffs + 1] = buff;
	  if (buffs[i] == "Essence of Wintergrasp") then side = UnitFactionGroup("player"); break; end
	  i = i + 1;
	  buff = UnitBuff("player", i);
	end;
	if (side == "Alliance" ) then bSide = 0 else bSide = 1 end;
	side = " ("..side .. " controlled)";
	----------------------	
   end
end
