📦 Black Box – Crate Drop Prediction & Data Builder
BlackBox is a lightweight addon designed to track, predict, and eventually coordinate War Supply Crate drops in The War Within. It helps players learn where crates are landing and lays the groundwork for a fully synchronized system—powered by community-contributed data.
🔍 What It Does Now
-
Tracks Flying Crates Automatically: When you mouse over a flying crate in the world, BlackBox logs your exact coordinates and zone for a predicted flight path of the plane.
-
Builds a Personal Crate Database: Every confirmed crate is added to your local log, helping the addon learn patterns zone by zone.
- Shares Data with party and guild.
🔮 What It's Meant to Become
BlackBox is being developed as a group-wide coordination tool. Eventually, it will:
-
Broadcast predicted landing locations to your raid or party
-
Auto-sync recent crate sightings between players
-
Forecast crate rotations across zones and shards
But for this vision to work, we need a large, accurate database of real crate sightings—and that’s where you come in.
🙌 Help Build the System
Install BlackBox and go crate hunting following the plane as close as possible and mousing over it as many times as you can. That’s it.
The addon runs silently in the background, collecting drop data from your activity. Every flying crate you spot adds to a growing dataset that improves predictions for everyone down the line.
Your contribution helps unlock smarter alerts, better rotation mapping, and real-time group coordination tools.
