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.

not as slick but caters for the new stuff
Any chance this mod can be updated to work with the new versions of the BG's as well, like the new Deepwind Gorge which is now a CTF.
what does the "p" and "m" stand for?
In reply to dkberlin_twitch:
m = movable
p = stay in postion.
maybe try to find string "function BGD_isInBG()"
and modify two instance(or map?) ID
[2107] = "Arathi Basin",
[2106] = "Warsong Gulch",
thank author

This worked perfectly. I simply added this to the LUA :
In the BGDefender.lua file, I added your idea after line 315
Add those to the file and save, worked like a charm. Thanks for pointing this out!
Would REALLY love to see this addon get update. Its a godsend.
BG Defender is no longer working! I'm either told I'm not in a bg or I'm not the leader???? Please fix this ASAP.
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BGdefender is using an outdated function called GetPlayerMapPosition().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.

Does this still work? my line 155 doesnt look like it would be the right place.
