BG Defender
Last Updated: Sep 20, 2018 Game Version: 8.0.1
BG Defender (Based on AB Defender) gives you a little movable window with buttons to announce the number of incoming enemies at the base you're defending in most battlegrounds. There are also buttons to call for help or announce the base you're defending is safe. BG Defender will automatically pop up when entering a battleground and close after you leave.
/bgd - to show/hide window
/bgd help - to show all commands
AB Defender was created by Riel Kil'Jaeden GER EU, based on FaraFrames by Farang.
There is a new kind of BG called a Brawl; one of them is in Arathi (only it's winter, and misty), but even though it's the same map, BGD doesn't recognize it as a BG. I'd be grateful if you could add it. :-)

In reply to tehfm:
I've just uploaded a new version that should fix the problem with GetPlayerMapPosition.
I haven't done much testing of it, so if some new errors shows up, let me know.
BGdefender is using an outdated function called GetPlayerMapPosition(). Unfortunately, the new function C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition() does not provide coordinates within battlegrounds.
You need to bypass this funktion in the fille BGdefender.lua line 155 like this:
>local function BGD_GetPlayerPosition()
>return nil
>end
Maybe this fix causes problem in some battlegrounds using coordinates. Please report if you have any issues.

Just come back to wow after a few years off and this, my fave addon isnt working I see anymore...
I really home someone with coding knowledge can make it work again
Update pls
Would love it if a fan of the addon could update if the owner has abandoned it.
any chance of an update for this for patch 8.0.1?
Pls an update ! =)
Would love to see this updated for legion, really love this in pvp bgs!
The Brawl: Arathi Blizzard not working too.
I think the only way to solve this, is to have a dropdown or button for each place.
so this addon is basically dead now ?
any note on deepwind and silvershard mine ?
Any word on when this addon will be fixed? Very hard to play a flag babysitter without this addon.
Since Deepwind Gorge and Silvershard Mines are not supported anymore. Would it be possible to make panel that opens up just like bg defender but when you zone into Deepwind Gorge and Silvershard Mines, it just has a few buttons that macro into chat saying top 1, top 2, top 3, and bottom 1, bottom 2, bottom 3, also for Mid,
Doesn't seem to work on Deepwind Gorge or Silvershard Mines
Since patch 7.1 Deepwind Gorge and Silvershard Mines are not supported anymore. I've just uploaded an update that takes care of the errors you were getting in those two battlegrounds.
Do you have any plan to support them? I absolutely love BG Defender, and it's a shame that it isn't available in the MoP instances, which I reckon are the best they've ever designed.
