Description +++++++++++ ICPvP is an enemy announcement mod in a similar vain to Watchtower by Clangadin. It supports both automatic and manual announcing, announcing to multiple destinations, and caching of announcements to reduce 'spam'.
By Default the mod will install with everything switched off apart from manual LocalDefence announcements.
Installation ++++++++++++ 1. Extract the ZIP to InterfaceAddons 2. Launch WoW =)
Configuration +++++++++++++ There are two parts of ICPvP to configure, both are optional:
1. Right click the 'eye' near the minimap to change options 2. Set ICPvP Key Bindings using the standard WoW GUI (optional)
The key bindings are self explanatory, the configuration screen options are as follows: * Automatic Friendly - Enables automatic announcements in friendly zones * Automatic Contested - Enables automatic announcements in contested zones * Automatic Enemy - Enable automatic announcements in enemy zones * Automatic BG - Enable automatic announcements in Battlegrounds * Caching Timeout - Time in minutes before the automatic cache expires for a particular player. When a player is announced using automatic announcing; the location and time are stored and won't be reannounced until this time has expired. This is to prevent constant spamming when switching between multiple targets during combat. Manual announcing is not effected by the cache. * Local Defence - Announces to the LocalDefence channel (you need to be in it!) * World Defence - Announces to the WorldDefence channel (you need to be in it and have permissions to send!) * Party - Announces to your party or raid * Guild - Announces to your guild * Custom channel - Announces to the specified custom channel * PvP ONly - Only Announces +PvP players * Mouseover Auto Mode - Switched the auto mode from firing on target change to firing on mouse over * MiniMode - Reduces the length of the announcement message * Minimap button coords - Shows the player's current coords on the minmap button * Minimap button position - Moves the button around the minimap
Usage +++++ If you haven't enabled Automatic announcements for your current zone then click your chosen hostile target and either left click the 'eye' or press your chosen keybinding. If you have enabled Automatic annoucements for your current zone then all you have to do is select the hostile target (see the comments on caching above).
Known Bugs ++++++++++ Not fully tested on PvE realms Not fully tested in Battlegrounds
Future Enhancements +++++++++++++++++++ * Localisation. The templates are there, but they need filling in by someone that knows the language. Please mail me if you can help :)
