Description:
Lets you know when Wintergrasp is going to start regardless of being in Dalaran.
How to use:
Visit either Arcanist Braedin (Alliance) or Magister Surdiel (Horde) in Dalaran, they will tell you how long until the next battle. From this you can work out the time of the next battle.
Say it's currently 3:30pm server time and they say the battle starts in 1 hour and 15 minutes then the next battle will start at 4:45pm (16:45)
Next either go to your Options > Interface > Addons menu and select WinterTimer or type /wt settings into your chat box to open up the settings page.
Under the Time Settings section you can change the sliders to what you worked the time of the next battle out to be. Example: Hours would be 16 and Minutes would be 45
You've now successfully setup WinterTimer, there are other settings to mess around with too, but by default it will alert you every 30 minutes and give you warning messages as it gets closer to starting.
Features:
- Timer (Tells you how long to go at set intervals e.g. every 30 minutes)
- Warning (Alerts you 5 minutes before the match, then 3 minutes, then 1 minute and when the battle starts)
- Sound (Plays a sound whenever the timer is displayed)
- Send (Send the remaining time message to another player via tell)
Slash Commands:
/wt next - Displays the time remaining till the next battle
/wt send name - Sends the time remaining message to another player (name)
/wt settings - Shows the settings page
Note:
From what i've found out about how the Wintergrasp timer works, it appears that it doesn't follow a strict time (i.e. 3, 6, 9, etc) which is why i've had to include the ability for you to set the time that the battle last started or when the next one will start. You can easily work this out by visiting Dalaran and talking to Arcanist Braedin (Alliance) or Magister Surdiel (Horde).
Once you've set the time it'll be saved for that realm, you don't need to set it again on reload or with a new character.
I'm assuming the time goes out of whack whenever they restart the server so you may need to change it every now and then.
Obviously this is just a quick work around cause i'm sure Blizzard will add their own timer to the map or something in the not so distant future.
Feedback and Bug Reports are always welcome =) I hope you find it useful.
