Invataxi

What happened to the LDB plugin Invataxi by Mikma? I can't find it here or on the other major add-on site (it was on both until recently). If it's gone for good, can anyone recommend a replacement with similar features? It had a wintergrasp timer as the text on the bar and various queueing options for BGs when clicked.

Thanks for any assistance!

It bugged really bad with 3.3.0 and I wasn't able to fix it easily. Didn't wan't to spend too much time fixing something that's not my fault ...

name, canEnter, isHoliday, minlevel = GetBattlegroundInfo(index)

Blizzard changed that and it doesn't give the minlevel anymore. Don't know where that data is now and I wasn't able to find it quickly enough to care about it.

The addon used that API to get the information does it show a battleground to lowlevel-user or not.

You can still find the addon from my svn, svn://svn.wowinterface.com/mikma-174/Invataxi .. If someone knows way of fixing it, let me know. (No, not going to maintain a list of battleground levels by hand.)

Well, looking at the PVPBattleground.lua file on WoWDiff it looks like taking off minlevel was because canEnter pretty much gives you the same option.

canEnter means you can be queued. If you were too low level then I assume that would return nil and thus you could test the value accordingly. Also, if there was another reason you couldn't enter it, it would flag that up as well. No minimum level required

Hope that helps you out somewhat

Yeah, the version in svn works perfectly now for lowlevels and highlevels. I'm gonna put it up in wowi as soon as I get around ironing out one display-bug from it.

It's great to hear it'll be fixed, absolutely great addon. I'm not sure how to get something from someone's svn so I'm very much looking forward to the new release!

Thanks for your work, I, for one, really appreciate it.

I'm also really looking forward to seeing this mod again. It's so convenient!

There's still some annoying Battle-detection bug around which i haven't had the time to iron out.

Latest version can always be found from my svn, svn://svn.wowinterface.com/mikma-174/Invataxi
