Battle Maps

BattleMaps

BattleMaps is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon for customizing the Blizzard Battleground Zone Map on a per-battleground basis.

It lets you configure the map size, position, zoom, and pan separately for each supported Random Battleground, making it easier to keep the battlefield map in a useful location without constantly adjusting it by hand.

Features

• Per-battleground Zone Map presets
• Custom map size and screen position
• Custom zoom and pan settings
• Standalone /bmap options window
• Configure mode for testing battleground layouts outside a match
• Manual Save button so changes are only stored when you choose
• Automatic battleground dropdown selection when configuring inside a supported BG
• Safer handling of Blizzard’s native Battlefield Map to reduce taint risk in PvP

Supported Battlegrounds

BattleMaps currently focuses on the standard Random Battleground pool:

• Warsong Gulch
• Arathi Basin
• Eye of the Storm
• Twin Peaks
• Battle for Gilneas
• Temple of Kotmogu
• Silvershard Mines
• Deepwind Gorge
• Seething Shore
• Deephaul Ravine

Epic Battlegrounds are intentionally not included yet.

Usage

Open the options window with:

/bmap

or:

/bg

Select a battleground from the dropdown, then click Configure.

While in configure mode, you can:

• drag the BattleMaps bar to move the map;
• use the resize handle to resize the map;
• zoom and pan the Blizzard map normally;
• click Save to store the current layout;
• click Apply to restore the saved layout;
• click Reset to restore a centered default layout.
