I love this mod. Recently (since 5.2 at least) I have not be getting all the timers in AV. I get most of them, but not the West Tower Timer. I believe there may be some others missing as well. If there is anything I can do to help with this, please let me know.

fluufykins Oct 03, 2012 at 07:04 UTC - 0 likesAny chance that this could be made modular (or as separate addons)? Basically I love the tomtom-style arrows for the flag carrier, but I have other preferred addons for the other features I need. It's a great addon, but I only need (want) the "arrows to enemy flag carrier" part.
(Alternatively, is there any way I can make this happen without changes on your end?)

Sometimes Blizzard removes objective from map, My addon tries to not rely on static informations so it usually keeps working, but sometimes changes are a bit more disruptive. As soon as I find some time to run a couple of AV I will check it.
Abour boxes placement, (my english is not so good) by narrower you mean to reduce height or width?

rauthamar Sep 18, 2012 at 19:22 UTC - 0 likesWhen I play AV I have no timer for West Tower? Is that a screen error on my box or a code error? Just thought I'd ask. I'm so glad you've rewritten this. It's been my favoirtie BG timer program for years. The old version still worked up to about 9 months ago (partially anyway)
I'd love the boxes for Alliance and Horde in AV to be stacked not side by side so the window could be narrower. Just a thought.
Thanks Again

ChWolfgang Sep 08, 2012 at 15:52 UTC - 0 likesThank you for taking a look at this. One other thing that I have noticed is that: I play Alliance and when I am in WG and BFG the prediction is always for the Horde point of view and therefor wrong from my point of view.
Again, thanks a lot and I really hope these are easy fixes.

ChWolfgang Sep 07, 2012 at 23:23 UTC - 0 likesI love this addon and use it all the time. I have been having a problem for a while where I get odd icons, usually 2 per name, in the timer/info window. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks again!
P.S> it seems to be wrong in every BG. If there is any other info or tests I can do to help please let me know.
