Custom battleground?

[Sandile]

Im currently making some kind of a custom battleground but I am not sure how to add the regular Battleground functions like a Battlemaster and the group function. Can anyone give me a hand? (the battleground is inside a instance so max players are good, and I am ok with editting the whole map ID).

As far as I can see, you cannot add any custom battlegrounds to a battlemaster or any form of menu. Everything has to be written in C++ and done by other methods. Retail BG's are handled in DBCs, so you would have to do client-side editing to add a custom one into the menu.

Ok, thanks. But is there any way to make some kind of a queu? or so they join a raid group when they enter and all that stuff?
Im ready to do anything except making a patch file for all the players to download.

that would probably be working in C++, which unless you yourself know how to do, is hard to get done, other option, is the oppisite of what you want to do, but, think about it, private server, your hosting it, why wouldn't you beable to make a launcher download? = )

[ooberstan]

Yeah, not excatly sure, if it is possible, it wont be easy.

Everybody might not be able/want to download a launcher and I want the server to work whether you have downloaded a launcher or not.
And without a queue its just not going to work. There might be some way to go without the group system but not a queue. Then everybody can join and its going to be CHAOS :P
Have anyone made a custom Battleground before? or is this a bad idea?

Looks cool :P Think you could share this if you get it done? :P

Here is how I made a custom battleground:

1. Player talks to NPC.
2. Player is inserted into a server-side queue.
3. 5 more players talk to NPC and are inserted into queue.
4. All 6 are ported to new map.
5. Qeueu is emptied.
6. TimedEvents start loading gameobjects and creatures on the map.
7. Gates are opened, match begins.

Thanks. But unless I get some more guidance I won't be able to do this now as I'm not experienced at all with any kind of scripting language. Thanks for the information that it works at least then that warms my heart

[Herleybob]

If you cannot do that, i would say that you would not be able to make one. And that you are not experienced with any scripting language, this is going to be very hard for you to even follow a guide.

[Sandile]

Yeah, well I understand I'm not going to be able to make it right now but I'm planning on doing it in the future.
