Queuing for battlegrounds - out of process

[Tanaris4]

So I've been trying to find a proper method to queue for a battleground out of process, I can open the honor tab easily enough, and can scroll up/down in that window. But I'm unable to determine which battlegrounds the buttons represent.

Has anyone done work on this? I was thinking there would be a pointer off of the PVPHonorFrameBgButton1, PVPHonorFrameBgButton2, etc... buttons that indicate which battleground is indicated, but I couldn't find a text pointer (or even a difference in integer values) at all, or I completely missed it.

Anyone have any other ideas? I thought about going the macro route, but it's quite long and typing that out each time seems quite inefficient vs. clicking.

Thanks!

Index of those buttons should match arguments of lua funtions GetWorldPVPAreaInfo, GetBattlegroundInfo.

And there's some info stored in those buttons:

frame = _G["PVPHonorFrameBgButton"..currentFrameNum];
...
frame.pvpID = pvpID;
frame.localizedName = localizedName;
frame.isWorldPVP = isWorldPVP;
...

so you should be able to find those values in memory.

function PVPHonor_UpdateBattlegrounds()
	local frame, _;
	local localizedName, canEnter, isHoliday;
	local pvpID, isActive, canQueue, startTime;
	local tempString, isBig, isWorldPVP;
	
	local offset = FauxScrollFrame_GetOffset(PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrame);
	local currentFrameNum = 1;
	local availableBGs = 0;
	
	local numWorldPvP = GetNumWorldPVPAreas();
	local numBgs = GetNumBattlegroundTypes();
	local numTypes = numWorldPvP + numBgs ;
	
	for i=1,numTypes do
		frame = _G["PVPHonorFrameBgButton"..currentFrameNum];
		
		if  i <=  numWorldPvP then
			isHoliday = false;
			_, localizedName, isActive, canQueue, startTime, canEnter = GetWorldPVPAreaInfo(i);
			pvpID = i;
			isWorldPVP = true;
		else
			pvpID = i-numWorldPvP;
			isActive = false;
			canQueue = true;
			startTime = -1;
			localizedName, canEnter, isHoliday = GetBattlegroundInfo(i-numWorldPvP);
			isWorldPVP = false
		end
		
		if ( localizedName and canEnter ) then
			if offset > 0 then
				offset = offset -1;
			elseif ( frame ) then
				frame.pvpID = pvpID;
				frame.localizedName = localizedName;
				frame.isWorldPVP = isWorldPVP;
				
				if canQueue then
					frame:Enable();
					if ( not PVPHonorFrame.selectedButtonIndex ) then
						frame:Click();
					end
				else
					frame:Disable();
					localizedName = GRAY_FONT_COLOR_CODE..localizedName;
				end
				tempString = localizedName;
				
				if isWorldPVP then
					frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", PVPHonor_UpdateWorldPVPTimer);
					frame.timeStep = 0;
					frame.worldIndex = i;
				else
					frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", nil);
				end
				
				if ( isHoliday ) then
					tempString = tempString.." ("..BATTLEGROUND_HOLIDAY..")";
				end
				
				if ( isActive ) then
					tempString = tempString.." ("..WINTERGRASP_IN_PROGRESS..")";
				elseif ( startTime > 0 ) then
					tempString = tempString.." ("..SecondsToTime(startTime)..")";
				end
				
				if PVPHonorFrame.selectedPvpID ==  frame.pvpID and PVPHonorFrame.selectedIsWorldPvp == isWorldPVP then
					frame:LockHighlight();
				else
					frame:UnlockHighlight();
				end
					
				frame.title:SetText(tempString);
				frame:Show();
				currentFrameNum = currentFrameNum + 1;
			end
			availableBGs = availableBGs + 1;
		end
	end
	
	if ( currentFrameNum <= NUM_DISPLAYED_BATTLEGROUNDS ) then
		isBig = true;	--Espand the highlight to cover where the scroll bar usually is.
	end
	
	for i=1,NUM_DISPLAYED_BATTLEGROUNDS do
		frame = _G["PVPHonorFrameBgButton"..i];
		if ( isBig ) then
			frame:SetWidth(BG_BUTTON_WIDTH);
		else
			frame:SetWidth(BG_BUTTON_SCROLL_WIDTH);
		end
	end
	
	for i=currentFrameNum,NUM_DISPLAYED_BATTLEGROUNDS do
		frame = _G["PVPHonorFrameBgButton"..i];
		frame:Hide();
	end
	
	PVPHonor_UpdateQueueStatus();
	
	PVPHonorFrame_UpdateGroupAvailable();
	FauxScrollFrame_Update(PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrame, availableBGs, NUM_DISPLAYED_BATTLEGROUNDS, 16);
end

RequestBattlegroundInstanceInfo(5)
JoinBattlefield(1)

This code will join Arathi Basin....
I didn't look into the "RequestBattlegroundInstanceInfo" API,
But if you want to run out of process...you can go to look what does it do....

Em...Maybe Click the button directly is easier....But you can extract All Blz source Frame codes by typing "ExportInterfaceFiles code" in the console mode in WOW
just start "Start "G:\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe -console"" and press "~"(on the left of key "1") And type it ...

Any reco on how I can find this? I looked at the 5 UI buttons and compared them to each other in CE (results here: 0000 - Pointer ->00978848 ->00978848 ->00978848 - Pastebin.com), and of course I couldn't find the values anywhere. These:

        public enum BattlegroundType : int
        {
            UNKNOWN = 0,
            ALTERAC_VALLEY = 1,
            WARSONG_GULCH = 2,
            ARATHI_BASIN = 3,
            EYE_OF_THE_STORM = 7,
            STRAND_OF_THE_ANCIENTS = 9,
            ISLE_OF_CONQUEST = 30,
            TWIN_PEAKS = 108,
            THE_BATTLE_FOR_GILNEAS = 120,
            RANDOM = 32,

        }

I am not sure if you have figured anything out on it yet. But to do it out of process, You can use sendkeys to type in the chat window, and hit enter. Doing it this way is out of process. Here is an example of a code.. it is in vb6 (that's what my bot is made in) ..

AppActivate ("World of Warcraft")
Pause (1)
Call MySendKeys("h")
Pause (1)
Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrameScrollBarScrollUpButton~")
Pause (0.5)

Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrameScrollBarScrollUpButton~")
Pause (0.5)

Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrameScrollBarScrollUpButton~")
Pause (0.5)

Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrameScrollBarScrollDownButton~")
DoEvents
Pause (1)
Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPHonorFrameTypeScrollFrameScrollBarScrollDownButton~")
DoEvents
Pause (1)
Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPHonorFrameBgButton5~") ' Clicks the bg listed at the bottom of the list ( it's the index of the listbox fo the bg's) <current index is 5
DoEvents
Pause (1)
Call MySendKeys("~/click PVPFrameLeftButton~") ' clicks the join bg button =)
DoEvents

In my code, I had it scroll all the way up, to kind of reset it. Then it scrolls down however many times it needs to, to have the bg I want at the bottom of the list. You can always change the index, etc.. but this is basic code to help you out. I hope it helps..
