About WG Commander

PvP Battleground Frame

WG Commander adds a Wintergrasp queue to your battleground window. After joining the queue, you will see the PvP button on your minimap. Hovering your cursor over the button will tell you the time until the next battle and the time until raids begin forming. At 15 minutes before battle time, WG Commander will begin inviting all players in your faction who have used WG Commander to enqueu themselves into the same raid. Once raids have formed, WG Commander will track incoming players and put them into the smallest raid first. It's a simple addon to use and eliminates the need to ask for raid invitations.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

I get an error since patch 3.2 that you can probably fix by replacing NUM_BATTLEGROUNDS with GetNumBattlegroundTypes(), remove NO_OFFSET and check that the frame obtained with GetNumBattlegroundTypes() is not nil, after that it no longer threw errors, I haven't yet checked if it still works

Sorry I have been neglecting responding to your comments. I'm in the last week of my masters program and things have been a little busy lately. I intend to get caught up next week. Thanks for the feedback and keep sending ideas my way.

i hate to say it, as i loved the original version of this mod. but i think you've gotten to zealous with it.

i've noticed several times that a raid started by someone not using this mod will start up first, and suddenly you'll have 2 raids going concurrently, with neither full.

at first i thought it was people just being stupid and not asking if a raid was already formed, as i never upgraded my older version of this mod. but it's happening nearly every wg now. two raids forming at the same time.

tonight, partly because of this mod, partly not, our wg had at least 4 different raids going with none of them full. too many mods trying to auto invite everyone who asked and no one was filling up. very frustrating.

If I may make a suggestion, could you make a change to prevent this addon's channel from claiming the #1 channel spot? Other than that little thing, it's really a very good addon.
