- About PvPShuffle
The Problem
In battlegrounds, people typically end up miles away from anyone in their party, losing auras, heals, and potentially minimap information that they could've had if they were grouped with those close by. This also makes healing in PvP rather difficult without playing whack-a-mole.
The Solution
PvPShuffle rearranges battleground groups based on proximity - making sure that the people who are physically close together are also in the same battleground party. This solves the run-away party members problem, and allows people who play together also be in the same party without the raid leader's assistance. PvPShuffle works automatically in the background when you're the battleground leader. If required, you can force a shuffle by using /ps shuffle. Additionally, buttons are added to the world map to allow you to view the current and proposed group structure.

DarkStarX saidafter doing some testrounds av with it i must say i really like that addon,
one wish it would be nice if the request leader message would include the groupnumber, thats the most backquestion i got so far.
and did till now 1 time wsg as leader and saw someone ended up in group 3 after shuffling ended, dont have more details on that why it could happen.

starlightblunder saidWill see what I can do about adding own group number to the request leader message (likely the same update as the german zone support is going in).
You may occasionally run into situations where PvPShuffle will sort people into slightly more groups than is typical of the BG you're in - it may be caused by people leading between shuffles completing, or the group layouts being better suited to a larger number of smaller groups (think 2/4/4 defense/midfield/attack situations in WSG - everyone benefits more from being in the same group as the majority of people next to them, splitting either grouping up to make things fit 2x5 is undesirable).

FrostByghte saidThis mod is simply a MUST have for AV. I can't believe it is not more widely used. Most people have not even heard about it in my battlegroup. Awesome idea and I hope you keep up development on it. Works very well.

starlightblunder saidWill have a fix for the cross-realm issues in the foreseeable future, just need to filter the cross-realm name returned by GetRaidRoster properly.

Bhaerau saidLove the new version!
Only tried it once so far, but seems like it was some great changes. Is it possible not to have it tell me in my chat window that it's shuffling? Would be nice with an option to disable it, as I can just look at the bar.

starlightblunder saidBhaerau: in a sense, it already does that (/pvps shuffle and automatic shuffling whines at you if you're not). Next version would stop the timer-based shuffles from displaying text if you're not the leader, which is probably what you wanted. :)
Logik3: No. Probably not, you just need to write your own sort function. It isn't, however, anything the addon is intended to do (there's little point - if you and people from your server are close enough for it to matter, you'd probably end up in the same group anyway).
Tasman: I've had no problem getting people to give me (L) while testing, but I can see how you could have that issue . There's a rather significant benefit to being in the same group as the people around you in battlegrounds, so I wouldn't call attempting to achieve this useless. As for how it works: PvPShuffle generates a proposed raid roster based on proximity, and changes the current raid roster to match that proposed version during a shuffle. I suggest you check the code if you wanted an answer in any significant level of detail.

Bhaerau saidWould it be possible to add a check to see if you're the leader, and if not, don't try to shuffle?

Logik3 saidNice mod. Do you know of a mod that will arrange groups by server, and if not, do you think it would be hard to adapt your code for this mod for that purpose? Thanks

Tasman saidpretty useless addon :P only helps if ur the leader and that happens if ur really lucky or if someone is kind enough to give leader and then also if someone new joins the battle happens u loose it again :P so... otherwise its useless and how does it take the list of what to change and where to change?

starlightblunder saidLosing leader isn't really related to this - blizzard periodically gives leader to people who've just joined the battleground (probably based on honor rank), nothing I can do about that, sadly. No player named 'name' is currently playing occurs because you're trying to whisper a cross-realm player without providing their realm (or even a trailing dash) - again, not related to the addon. The script is supposed to say "AV" when in AV, so everything is great on that front.
Update to R3 for a bit more error resilience.
