Now supports Eye of the Storm battleground!

This mod presents three simple features to aid in the Arathi Basin battleground:

1. It visually notifies you of who each resource belongs to.

2. By clicking one of the buttons representing a resource, you either send a command to assault a resource, or a notification that the opponents are incoming (depending on the current status of that node). If a node is assaulted, there is roughly 60 seconds of time in which that node is contested before it is assigned to one side or the other.

3. As nodes are assaulted, timers pop up next to the node icon to warn you of roughly how much time you have left before that node is assigned (this way, you can decide whether you should start trying to take a node, or wait a few seconds). Due to latency issues, the timers may be off by a few seconds.

If you shift left mouse click a resource button, a pop up will appear letting you specify a number from 1 to 15. The normal assault or incoming message (depending on the status of the node) will be sent out with this number appended to it. This lets you quickly notify your comrades about how many are incoming to a node, or how many need to assault a node. If you ctrl left mouse click a resource button, a pop up will appear display user configurable messages. Each node can have eight messages, and each node's messages are unique (for a total of 40 possible messages).

If you want to activate the horizontal low profile mode just shift click the - button. The - button is located right above the top right corner of the mod window when it is in vertical mode. The -, ? and X buttons are hidden until moused over.
