Battleground Targets resurrection

PVP Battlegrounds

Figured I might as well post it here too.

After alot of testing i finally got Battleground Targets to work. Simply download the file from;

http s://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20766686645

Then all you have to do is make some small tweaks to the bgID and mapID inside the BattlegroundTargets.lua file and tadaa, done. In the default lua do ctrl+f and type in 2107 to get to the section you need to modify.

List of changes=

bgID == 2 then mapID[92] change to bgID == 1014 then mapID[2106]
bgID == 3 then mapID[2107] change to bgID == 1018 then mapID[2107]

In case you are wondering where I got this information use the following macro in WoW;
/run for i=1,GetNumBattlegroundTypes()do local name, , ,_,BGID=GetBattlegroundInfo(i)print(“Name:”,name,“BGID:”,BGID)end

and for the mapIDs

I’m excited about this. Any way you can publish it as a fork?

I did love Battleground Targets but Is not updated anymore, so I got this instead BattleGroundEnemies. It works just like BGT did work.

do you happen to have wintergrasp’s bgID, the mapID is 2118, but i don’t have the other part

I would too if it could be updated how long will this work around actually last and you are also fooling around with Copyright stuff.

8

I just did update by changing those 2 things listed …also no copyright stuff.

Like I said I love BGT some have tried and got shut down for Copyright It is on one of the download sites all you gotta do is look it up.

For wintergrasp bgID I got 1017

Anyway if you can manage to get around the Copyright thing you did a great job.

13

I remember doing this before BFA, but never updated it after BFA, figured I would just use BGE since everyone else is now. But BGT is far superior, I’ll just do that again. TY!

Which is prolly why he used some dropbox bleh site instead of posting it on wowcurse.

I won’t try it out tonight, but I’ll try it out tomorrow and thank you this was one of my favorite add-ons.

16

so i added this line:
elseif bgID == 1017 then mapID[2118] = localizedName bgMaps[localizedName] = {bgSize = 40, flagBG = 0} -- Wintergrasp

and now the addon is not loading at all?

edit, nvm, i didn’t capitalize a letter when i should have. :woman_facepalming:

17

Let me know how this work plz.

18

Is there really a copyright risk? IDK how this works, it’s open source and everything. People fork stuff all the time.

19

i doubt it, this is in the readme:

I will only fix issues preventing this addon work with current version of WoW. No new features are planned to implement, but bug reports are highly appreciated.
Development will be stopped as soon as original author will update his/her addon.

so the person posting/updating it in english is not even the original author, if they want to refuse to update it but still act like they own it they can go jump off a cliff.

also, its licensed under GNU:

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program–to make sure it remains free
software for all its users.

we can fork it all we want.
