PvPBanger Combat Focus keeps your screen clear when a fight starts. Character, spellbook, talents, map, quest log, professions, collections, encounter journal, achievements, group finder, PvP frame and bag windows hide the moment combat begins, and the panels that were open come back when combat ends. Escape, action bars, targeting and combat HUDs keep working.
This is the Retail module for WoW: Midnight. The download includes the shared PvPBanger core alongside PvPBanger_CombatFocus, so copy both folders into Interface/AddOns.
WHAT IT DOES
- Hides the windows that get in the way on entering combat, from the backpack through bag 13.
- Closes your own panels too: control center, settings, blaster, cosmetics, buffs, bounty window and import, alert settings, battleground win settings, spell voice, URL copy, bar settings, quest cleaner, arena settings and Combat Focus settings itself.
- Restores what was open when combat ends, and only those. A panel you closed yourself is not reopened.
- Optional hotkey blocking swallows the common menu hotkeys for the duration of the fight, so a stray key press cannot pull a window over your bars.
- Never traps you: if a window has to stay open, its own close key still works for that fight, and Escape is left alone.
- Protected Blizzard frames are hidden through a secure state driver, so combat lockdown cannot block the addon.
- Three switches in the settings window: common menu hotkeys BLOCK in combat, supported Blizzard panels HIDE, and restore previous panels ON or OFF.
RETAIL CLIENT TARGET
Interface 120000 in PvPBanger_CombatFocus.toc, which is the Retail 12.0.0 client (Midnight). The secure state driver is registered on [combat] combat; peace. Blizzard_QuickKeybind is optional and used only when the client exposes it.
INSTALLATION
1. Exit the game completely. AddOn folders are read at launch.
2. Open your Retail Interface/AddOns folder.
3. Extract the archive and copy PvPBanger and PvPBanger_CombatFocus into Interface/AddOns, so each folder sits directly inside AddOns with no extra outer folder.
4. Do not copy the ZIP itself into AddOns, the game does not read archives.
5. Start the game and enable both folders in the character-select AddOns list.
COMMANDS
/pvpbcombat opens the Combat Focus settings.
/pvpbcombat status prints version, enabled state, combat state, secure driver state, armed menu key count and close-key bypass.
/pvpb opens the shared PvPBanger control center.
DEPENDENCY
This module requires PvPBanger Core, matching the Dependencies line in its own TOC. The core ships in this download, so a fresh install needs no separate step, but keep the core folder current.
