QueueMaster replaces Blizzard's queue eye with real information. Live timers, role breakdowns, wait estimates, and pop alerts — for dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, arenas, brawls, and Group Finder listings, all at the same time.

Description

QueueMaster

A World of Warcraft addon that tracks your active queues with live timers, role composition, and wait estimates shown as movable bars on screen. Supports dungeons, raids, LFR, scenarios, battlegrounds, arenas, brawls, and Premade Group Finder listings.

What it does

  • Shows a separate bar for each active queue, positioned wherever you want on screen
  • Each bar displays the instance name, elapsed time, and role counts (T/H/D)
  • Bars persist across UI reloads by saving the queue start time to your character data, so the timer does not reset when you reload
  • When a queue pops, the bar switches to a flashing invite countdown. The Blizzard proposal popup is reskinned with a dark background, coloured border, and a countdown bar that shifts green → amber → red as time runs out
  • Hovering a bar shows a detailed tooltip with role-specific wait estimates, your personal estimate, Call to Arms bonuses, boss lock status for raids, and loot eligibility
  • Supports multiple simultaneous queues including different LFR wings queued at the same time

Queues tracked

  • Dungeon Finder (all difficulties)
  • Raid Finder / LFR (each wing tracked separately)
  • Scenarios
  • Battlegrounds
  • Arenas
  • Weekly Brawls
  • Premade Group Finder (when you post your own listing)

Usage

Bars appear automatically when you join a queue. You can drag them wherever you want. Positions are saved per character.

Left-click a bar to open the Group Finder frame. Right-click a bar to leave that queue (shows a confirmation dialog).

Slash commands:

/qm          open settings
/qmconfig    open settings
/qm test     create a test bar to check positioning
/qm sim      simulate dungeon/raid/pvp queues for layout testing
/qm debug    toggle debug output

Configuration

Open settings with /qm. Options include:

  • Bar width, height, and scale
  • Font and individual font sizes for each text element
  • Frame opacity and edge opacity
  • Color theme (queue type colors, class color, or custom)
  • Show or hide role composition, instance name, and timer independently
  • Compact mode for narrow bars
  • Sound and alert notifications
  • Lock bars in place

MiniMapRedux integration

If MiniMapRedux is installed alongside QueueMaster, a QueueMaster data text becomes available in MiniMapRedux's data bar system. Assign it to any bar slot via /mmr.

The data text shows a live queue timer prefixed by type:

Prefix Queue type
QM:LFG Dungeon Finder
QM:LFR Raid Finder
QM:BG Battleground
QM:Arena Arena
QM:Brawl Weekly Brawl
QM:GF Group Finder listing
QM:Scen Scenario
QM:NQ N simultaneous queues

When a queue pops the text flashes to alert you. Left-click opens the Group Finder frame. The tooltip shows timers, role breakdown, and estimated wait for every active queue.

Localization

The addon has translations for English, French, German, Spanish (ES and MX), Italian, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Libraries

QueueMaster uses the Ace3 framework (AceAddon, AceDB, AceConfig, AceGUI, AceEvent, AceTimer, AceConsole) and LibSharedMedia-3.0 for optional extended font support. All libraries are bundled.

Known issues

  • The Premade Group Finder listing bar does not show role counts because the Group Finder does not expose that data through the same API as LFD/LFR.
  • Brawl detection relies on C_PvP.GetActiveBrawlInfo which Blizzard has not formally documented. It works currently but could break on a future patch. The addon falls back to showing a generic Battleground bar if the API is gone.
