  • About Preform AV Enabler
  •  

Preform AV Enabler allows the group/raid leader to solo queue everybody (whom have their battlemaster windows open) simultaneously with a button press. In addition, the group/raid leader can also force members with the addon installed to either leave queues or join the majority's battleground instance. A status window allows all those with the addon installed to view the current queue status of each other.

The status window's information includes: if a member's battlefield instance window is open or not and which battlemaster it is, if they are queued for any battlegrounds, which battleground instances they received, which battleground they may be in, and if they have deserter or not and its current duration.

The automation feature (which was a lot more impressive when leaving the queue did not close your battlemaster window) will auto-queue the raid when everybody is ready, and auto-join or auto-leave queues depending on the threshold set.

To use, open a battlemaster window and click the Preform AV Enabler button, type /preformav, or click "Preform" on the menu that appears when right clicking the minimap battleground icon.

    Just installed... however, when opening /preformav it displays "status unknown/not installed" while on the battleground or queued

    hey, just wanted to say great addon, but i'm having a problem. I logged in today to find the menu window half off the screen and i can't click the header to drag it back, is there any command i can use to recenter it? Thanks in advance!

  • April 22, 2008, 08:33AM (2 weeks, 5 days ago)

    enter "/preformav reset" at the command line

    That looks like an error I fixed in 2.1. It appears if you come back after link death or something similar right?

  • April 23, 2008, 01:26AM (2 weeks, 4 days ago)

    Absolutely, thanks for fixing it!

  • April 10, 2008, 06:13PM (1 month ago)

    Torrid,

    You are awesome! On behalf of our Pvp guild, I 'd like to thank you for updating this mod and letting us play with friends again more efficiently. our guild morale was at an all time low a week after 2.4 and you have given myself and others a reason to play Wow again =) You rock!

    Pls keep up the great work

  • April 9, 2008, 11:45PM (1 month ago)

    Torrid, its nice this addon works on all BGs and my translation to korean is almost finished and I wonder how to send the locale file to you, I have a few suggestions though.

    1) I had some test with this addon, and the word 'offline' remained in english, not translated in korean.
    I think its because 'offline' is not locale-functioned in your lua file, like PREFORM_AV_ENABLER_OFFLINE, which I've never seen on my translation.
    So I suggest to add a line about translating 'offline' so that translation may be more perfect.(i think chinese will have a similar problem)
    2) I want to get your permission to add a line for a new slash command /알방(albang: means AV) for Koreans' sake, only in Korean translation, as I asked a few days ago.
    (/preformav, the original one preserved of course)
    Koreans are not so good at english than thought, that will make easier for them to enjoy this wonderful addon.

    Thx Torrid though I told about very sensitive problem which you'll have to fix your lua file code.

  • April 10, 2008, 07:37AM (1 month ago)

    You won't need to translate "Offline." I just fixed it to use Blizzard's translation. I missed that one when I made the localization files, apparently.

    You should be able to change the slash command by editing the PREFORM_AV_ENABLER_CMD variable.

    I'll send you a private message with my email address so you can send it to me.

    Thanks

  • April 9, 2008, 10:59PM (1 month ago)

    If anybody wants to help translate the addon to other languages, please let me know A) if you are doing so and B) when you might be finished so I know if I need to delay the next version to wait for your file or not.

    Thanks

  • April 9, 2008, 11:36AM (1 month ago)


    Well, I play the game at 1024x768 resolution, and it only becomes a problem for me when the raid size grows past 35

    On my server most of the AV premades are 40 people (to allow people to "sit one out") thus size is an issue. Last night was when your update became known on our server, most of the regulars got the update and in virtually every single case the comments were
    "OMG It's HUGE"...followed by ..."How do i make it smaller?"

    I'm not sure why you would care if it does take up half the screen, as you don't intend to fight with the window up?

    More of an issue for those leading, add on frame, raid window, users normal UI setup means no space to even see the BM clearly. As to why the raid frame is open, think i see the problem in the next quote, you are not realising how much the add on has spread and how people are using it

    Although I would think that raid leaders would ask somebody's resilience and spec prior to granting a raid invite to begin with. Not to mention that I would not even expect random trade channel puggers to even have my addon installed let alone an addon to preform

    You need to visit some Euro servers then, Al'akir is generally running "trade AV premades" every night, hell sometimes 2 to 3 of them at same time

  • April 9, 2008, 12:22PM (1 month ago)

    Alright, you've convinced me to make some sort of resizing option. I guess I didn't expect raids larger than 35 or so to be that common anymore.

  • April 9, 2008, 03:54PM (1 month ago)

    Please do so!

    Ravencrest (Cyclone BG - EU), we run daily AV premades as well - always full - and as previous poster said even several AV raids at the same time. At this point unless you have a high resolution then you cant really use it ^^

    edit:
    Also PLEASE make it so that you can click on the names in the list and kick them there. With a full raid of 40 ppl going several hours, it gets pretty tiresome to keep looking for the names in the list of the people who have to be kicked for joining BG's, slacking etc..

  • April 8, 2008, 10:29PM (1 month ago)

    Hey torrid quick question, you don't want anyone releasing a "hacked" version of preform AV. But what is your opinion of someone releasing an extra lua/xml that interacts with your mod to add functionalities? Not an alteration, just an addon of an addon.

  • April 8, 2008, 11:39PM (1 month ago)

    Well, as long as you don't copy any of my code, I'm not certain I would even have any sort of legal right to stop you anyway. Although curse and wowinterface are rather author-friendly and may do it regardless.

    I'm not saying I would try to have it removed, but I would like to ask what you wanted to add exactly.

  • April 9, 2008, 01:35AM (1 month ago)

    The ability to show your resilience and the ability to mark yourself as a healer are the 2 main features I was interested in that would be REALLY helpful for an org leader. Especially in ORG AV's when you may have had to grab some people from /trade and organizing recap groups based on resilience/spec is necessary.

    A simple button on the enabler window that changes your name's color to denote you as a healer wouldn't even require any alterations to the UI other than the button being added.

  • April 9, 2008, 04:14AM (1 month ago)

    Well, I suppose I don't have a problem with it, so long as it requires my addon installed to function and isn't merely a copy with alterations.

    Although I would think that raid leaders would ask somebody's resilience and spec prior to granting a raid invite to begin with. Not to mention that I would not even expect random trade channel puggers to even have my addon installed let alone an addon to preform.

  • April 21, 2008, 11:56AM (2 weeks, 6 days ago)

    Actually Torrid, I see something like this in trade all the time:"LFM AV PREMADE--MUST HAVE ENABLER".

  • April 12, 2008, 01:25AM (4 weeks, 1 day ago)

    This is a pretty good idea. I vote for it.

    I run pug AV's. I don't care if my people are in greens and blues, we still win. My win rates being somewhere about 95%. (last I counted marked in the mail box I was 45 wins 0 losses)

    The short of it is... People on deathwing have this mod, it's very common. I can also pick up a pug group of 30 people or so in about 15 minutes and start winning. Because there are a lot of people running this, it would be great if I had a way of tracking healers(actually talent point specs) and more geared players.

    It would be best if this was built into the mod, or packaged with it. Otherwise it becomes difficult to get people using it.

  • April 8, 2008, 10:28PM (1 month ago)

    Torrid, Nice work on the update. A few recomendations though

    1: New addon frame is way to big, especially if running AV premades (covers half the screen at 1140X900 res), an ability to turn off the columns for BG's you are not interested in would be very much appreciated
    2: Ability to reduce the transparency, can be hard to read details if alot going on under the frame
    3: As someone mentioned below, incorportating something like Battleground Raid Adjust or AV Raid Restore (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11594/) would be nice

    Will try to get you a screenshot of a full group this av weekend, otherwise keep up the nice work
