Broker_TolBarad
About Broker_TolBarad
Broker_TolBarad shows who controls Tol Barad and the time until the next battle. During the battle it shows the time since the battle started. There are no messages sent between players. The function updating the time and faction requires that you are not in an instance.
You have the option to:
- show / hide the seconds from the Broker text. By default seconds are hidden and will only show during the last minute.
- choose whom to notice before the battle starts (self, guild, party, raid).
- choose when to notice (battle start, 5min before, 15 min before, 30 min before).
- use audio warning.
You can also get information related to the next battle by using Shift-Click on the time while the chat edit box is opened.
In order to use it you need a broker display addon like ButtonBin or Titan Panel.

Version
v1.14
Appears to have completely ceased functioning in the Legion prepatch.
Hey can you please fix this addon? It seems to slowly decay. It was accurate at 1st, then it slowly announced the times wrong. For example it said tol barad begins in 15 mins, just a little bit before it ended.
Tol barad begins a specific amount of time after one ends, so maybe just set it to go off of that. Also the same for wintergrasper please.
It shows time, it shows who controls the TB. Still it does not invites in area, i see myself in queue but I dont get the invitation. Tested multiple times, I got invitation only when i cross the bridge, not just beign in queue.
There's been some changes done by Blizzard .. the join buttons are gone from the new UI to for battlegrounds. My addon stil uses the old functions which I haven't had the time to test if they work or not.
Doesn't show who controls for me. Just a time to next battle.
The game only gives that information when you are in Eastern Kingdoms. You could log an alt to get the data from time to time.
Sometimes timer doesn't update to show battle has finished and what faction has it now, till I go into Tol Barad Peninsula, then it updates correctly.
WoW v5.0.5 with Broker_TolBarad v1.10.1.
Yeah, but then there is no reason to have it.
I've noticed some errant behavior after latest patch:
- Sometimes it shows battle is going on when there is none
- Sometimes battle starts (while in Stormwind, IF, etc), it shows there's battle correctly but no time info
check what zone your in , if you phase into a dif area they might have a dif faction in charage of tb and dif timer , my guild just got fininshed with a tb and went to ICC , and saw we join join another one in 5 mnis , we tired but but even if you get called it says you're not allowed to enter. but your issue may be related to phasing.
I've also noticed some bugs with the Blizzard UI for Tol Barad. Such as Remaining time (top screen while in Tol Barad) displays 0 or displays wrong time as it is not updated after a tower is destroyed. I'll investigate more, but most probably we'll have to wait for Blizz to fix their code.
would you please change line 562 to include
("Interface\\AddOns\\Broker_TolBarad\\Media\\brass_fanfare_4.mp3", "Master")
the , "Master" will make it so teh addon sends its sounds to teh master channel , so those of us that play with sound effects off will still hear it.
Done.
thanx mate
I get the following error when joining Raids:

The problem is in AdiCCMonitor file Alerts.lua line 188": self:CancelTimer("SendQuery").
The reason you see Broker_TolBarad listed there is because it's the fist addon to load the library AceTimer-3.0, which several addons then use.
Here a little feature request:
Could you (optionally) increased the info while battle, wheter my faction is attacking or defending?
And maybe the time, how long the battle already takes?
E.g.
Attack-Battle since 0:13
instead of just "Battle".
