This addon is a tool for Wow Battlegrounds
This addon will help you with things like small messages that can be useful in some stressful situations.
Works both for classic and retail.
- x Locks and unlocks a frame
- x default messages.
- x 2 custom messages.
- x 5 different sizes
- x 12 class colors + black and grey
- x Pops up when you enter an instance
- x Dissapear when you leave an instance
- x Information
I will soon in the future add Battlegrounds that is missing:
- For the custom mesages you create two macros named "!msg3" and "!msg4" and just type in your message direct in the body.
- Slash Commands: /bgc show. /BGC show
You can create your own icons using uncompressed .tga files in 256x256 or 64x64 px. Just replace the one in icons folder with your own and it should work.

hi,
i'm trying to add Eye of the Storm,
but what's this in the file BGCallouts.lua :
local iidBG = {30, 529, 1681, 2107, 2177, 1105, 566, 968, 628, 1803, 727, 607, 998, 761, 726, 489}

i start say i am not a subscriber anymore so i can not keep my addons up to date anymore. (edited 27/9-2021 not true i just used test realm and it works fine)
What i can see eye of the storm is there.. it has id 566
see also https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/InstanceID
if you manually wanna check zone/instance ID you can uncomment this row in
-- DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|cff00ff96BGCallouts: |cff00ccffid " .. iid)
to
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|cff00ff96BGCallouts: |cff00ccffid " .. iid)
and then you will see ID in chat frame
I guess you are using The (classic/burning crusade) 1.13.7 version of the addon. Then there are some more to do. You have to add all the icons and code for AddLocationButton etc.
In the 9.0.5 version it is implemented but i will take a look at it later this week.
In reply to Circoo:
First of all, thanks for your help, i really appreciate that.
I have seen about the instance ID later after my post here.
I have tried to add locations for eye of the storm, that seemed simple at start, but i guess my problem is about icons.
there are some about this battleground in the directory Icons, like draenei.tga, and i tried to use them, but it's not working atm.
i think i forgot some modifications to make it work correctly.
In BattleGrounds.lua file, i've add :
myBg["eots"] = {22, 25}
if i == 1 or i == 6 or i == 20 or i == 22 then --or bg ~= namespace.config.db.char.bg then
-- Eye of the Storm
AddLocationButton(frameName, L["mage tower"], "magetower")
AddLocationButton(frameName, L["fel reaver"], "felreaver")
AddLocationButton(frameName, L["blood elf"], "bloodelf")
AddLocationButton(frameName, L["draenei"], "draenei")
in menu.lua, i've add :
{ text = "Eye of the Storm", notCheckable = true, func = function() setBattleground("eots", 4, 1); end}
my real problem is that i have never done addon development , but i try to find a solution because this addon is really good.
In reply to Shamallo82:
I uploaded a new updated Burning crusade version. Please confirm if it works alright.
In reply to Circoo:
hello,
i've just tried it in eye of the storm battleground, and it works perfectly !
Nice job man :)
i'm curious of what i missed to make it work if you can tell me.
rly like this addon, but adding EotS would be nice, also that it automatically switches battlegrounds...
And a few more BG specific shouts would be nice :)
f.eks EotS: Get the flag, dont cap yet, cap
In reply to beleg_jr:
I have quitted wow and have a hard time keep my addons up to date.
For more shouts you have to use the custom messages for now.
Ok, I was able to access the "menu" once, and I can't do it again. /bgc show That does nothing.
Is there an easy way to access the settings menu?
In reply to Bewitchingvelf:
You have to unlock frame.
Frame is still showing after I have left a battleground
As of February 27th 2021 it still has the language issue if you're allaince. Wish it works because it looks amazing.
In reply to AlsRandomkill:
Should be fixed now
Addon will now pop up automatic again when enter a battleground
1. language will be set to common (Human/Orcish)2. channel will be set to instance chatWhen enter an pvp instance (battleground):
In reply to Circoo:
It should work now.
In reply to Circoo:
It tells me I cant speak that language when I try to alert, Im set to common, any idea?
In reply to MECHEmber:
Nevermind figured it out, even though Im human it seems to only work for common (worgen)
In reply to Circoo:
Language isn't working properly for allaince.
Anyone have a replacement for this yet?
