This addon was for the three Domination Battlegrounds in wow.
-"Arathi Basin", "Deepwind Gorge" and "The Battle for Gilneas" from the start.
Now is also have added "Eye of the Storm", "Silvershard Mines", "Strand of the Ancients", "Alterac Valley" and "Isle of Conquest".
It is one frame for each bg except "AV" that has two. The frames will load when you enter the batleground and you can drag the frame wherever you want.
When you click left mouse button it calls for help and when you press right mouse button it says base is safe. If you hold Shift + left mouse button it calls for "Big incoming" and only left mouse button calls for "A few incoming". Shift + right mouse button will say "All to" and it can be useful in AV when you want all come to Vandar/Drek.
Slash Commands are:/BGCallouts followed by show, hide or rwoff.
Ex. /BGCallouts show and /BGCallouts hide. Whith this function you can toggle frames for position them. You can set them on top of each other because only one of them will load in each battleground except AV that has two, one offense/defense for each faction.
/BGCallouts rwoff will turn off the raid warning even if you are assistant or raid leader. If you want raid warnings back just do a /reload. For the raid warnings you have to be assistant or raid leader also.
Also when you enter a new zone the addon will hide.
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.
I cannot move the frames for whatever reason. Any idea why that's happening?
In reply to Nomar111:
It's not very intuitive, but you can move the frames by left-clicking and dragging on the border of the frame. Verified in 8.3.
Is there a way to lock the call out window

How do i change the frases the addon puts out in chat?
For example in the mines map, i want "bottom" to be Oil instead, since bottom doesnt make sense (Lava is closer to bottom than Oil is)
Also, ive made WarCraft II styled icons for all maps and wonder if im allowed to upload them here.

Hey maybe you can create a table where someone can change something? on another language i mean or so, i cant find file or options for that
Every time I call an inc with this addon, it uses exclamation points and a skull icon, giving the impression that the base is under heavy attack and needs a lot of help. I wish there were a way for this addon to tell my teammates that only one or two enemies are attacking, that way they don't overcommit to one base. BGDefender had this, but it doesn't work in some BGs anymore. Even if it worked perfectly, it never allowed me to call incs at bases where I'm not present. That's the main benefit of BGCallouts. All I want at this point is the ability to specify the degree of help that's needed at each base. My idea is to have two buttons per base, one for a big inc and one for a small inc. Left clicking them would announce a big or small inc, depending on the button. Right clicking either of them would indicate that the base is safe. This would combine the best aspects of BGCallouts and BGDefender, making the addon impossible to beat. The only other thing you'd need is the ability to resize the entire box, considering how many buttons there would be.

I have now made it like this:
If you hold "Shift + left mouse button" it calls out for "Big incoming" and only "left mouse button" calls for "A few incoming". I hope this will do the job for you.
In reply to Circoo:
As of the new patch I can't get BGCallouts to load in a BG
I can use the command show and to open up all the BG windows but they won't actually load when I join the BG.
