[Sugg/Req] In Battleground score window: Display Damage/Healing totals

[Olison]

Hello,
i have a suggestion/request for a mod:
Display totals in the battleground score board: Damage done and Healing Done
Especially interesting in the Alliance/Horde team tab.

Now, i don't have a clue about HOWTO code a wow addon, but is such a idea even possible?
Are the values of the scoreboard readable by the LUA interface?

What do others think of such a addon?
In my opinion, it would be a great way to determine the performance of a team (i play lots of premade battlegrounds with a pvp-guild)

Post please

I don't know if this exists or not, but adding a line that, instead of the players' names, displays "Total", and instead of each stat the sum of this stat for each player wouldn't be very hard. I might do it if no one else wants to and if it doesn't exist yet.

Doesn't the default window at the end of a BG already show each players total damage done and total healing done?

Well, he clearly meant the total of each team or of the battleground itself, and not the total per player.

Well, not *clearly*, but it was inferred, yes.

[Layrajha]

*Clearly enough* then? Anyway, I'll see if I can do that today during my breaks.

Ok. I have given it a fast go. I have a working version, but it's:
- from an ugly code
- to an ugly result

Though, as I may not be able to work on it more before some time (well, I may be done tonight, or it may take a week before I have to time code again ), I have uploaded the current version to my site on http://layrajha.com/addons/LayBGScores.zip (not on wowinterface yet, because I don't really want to post it until it's a bit better).
... when I think about it, maybe it's not very good to post a link to my site here. If there's any problem with it, please just delete the link, as I'll upload a better version here anyway.

So, in this current version (which is really a mere hack):
- it adds 3 lines at the bottom of the battleground score window: ALLIANCE, HORDE, and TOTAL. Each line displays the total amount of HKs, KBs, Honor, Damage done, and Healing done, for the respective factions (or for both of them).
- it works in WSG, untested in other BGs
- I don't think it shows any total for flag captures, towers defended etc, but it could be added
- Problems: Currently, these lines are considered as human horde mages. Thus, it adds 3 hordes to the hordes count (showing up to 13 hordes in WSG, for instance), they have the red color, etc. Bah! It should be fixed later

If you have any suggestion, let me know. Anyway, don't bother DLing it if you don't want to do some testing and giving feedback.
