PvP Tab Binder

Automatically switches Tab keybinding between "Target Nearest Enemy" and "Target Nearest Enemy Player" based on PvP/PvE zones. Perfect for PvP players who want optimal targeting - targets NPCs in PvE, only players in PvP instances.

PvP Tab Binder

A World of Warcraft MOP Classic addon that automatically changes your Tab keybinding based on whether you're in a PvP instance or not.

Features

  • Automatic Keybinding: Changes Tab keybinding to "Target Nearest Enemy" in PvE zones
  • PvP Detection: Changes Tab keybinding to "Target Nearest Enemy Player" in PvP instances (Battlegrounds and Arenas)
  • Persistent Settings: Remembers your preferences across sessions
  • Easy Control: Simple slash commands to control the addon

Installation

  1. Download the addon files
  2. Extract the PvPTabBinder folder to your WoW addons directory:
    • World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/
  3. Restart WoW or reload your UI (/reload)
  4. The addon will automatically start working

Usage

The addon works automatically once installed. It will:

  • Set Tab to "Target Nearest Enemy" when in PvE zones
  • Set Tab to "Target Nearest Enemy Player" when in PvP instances
  • Display a message when the keybinding changes

Slash Commands

  • /pvtb or /pvptabbinder - Show help
  • /pvtb toggle - Toggle the addon on/off
  • /pvtb on - Enable the addon
  • /pvtb off - Disable the addon
  • /pvtb status - Show current status and zone type

How It Works

The addon monitors zone changes and automatically updates your Tab keybinding:

  • PvE Zones: Tab targets the nearest enemy (including NPCs)
  • PvP Instances: Tab targets only the nearest enemy player (excludes NPCs)

This is particularly useful for:

  • Battlegrounds where you want to target players, not NPCs
  • Arenas where you need precise player targeting
  • Open world PvP where you might want to target NPCs

Requirements

  • World of Warcraft MOP Classic (Interface 50400)
  • No additional dependencies

Version History

  • 1.0.0: Initial release with basic functionality
