ChatSounds

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Description

I often miss guild and party messages popping up on my screen since they don't make a sound.
I figured I'd make a mod to solve the problem. :)

Features

Can play new sounds for
- Whispers
- Guild
- Officer
- Party and Party Leader
- Raid and Raid Leader
- Battlegrounds and BG Leader
- Custom player joined channels
Force Whisper sounds for every whisper.
Blacklist specific custom channels (for example hidden channels joined by addons)
Allows users to /r after sending a whisper without getting a reply.
Has a Configuration Dialog Box which is accessible through the comic bubble icon next to the Chat Frame.
Saves its settings per character.

Configuration

Click the comic bubble icon on top of the Chat Frame and select 'ChatSounds' from the menu.
'/chatsounds' at the command prompt.
- '/chatsounds ?' will give help for extra commands.

I'm have an issue with this addon now. Since the patch landed, I can't hear the sounds unless I turn up blizzard's crap sounds. This was not the case before. Plz, help us if you can. Thank you.

I'm getting these weird errors:

ChatSounds blocked from using PartyMemberFrame1:Show()
Count: 4

Call Stack:
[C]: in function `Show'
Interface\FrameXML\PartyMemberFrame.lua:117: in function `PartyMemberFrame_UpdateMember'
Interface\FrameXML\PartyMemberFrame.lua:318: in function `PartyMemberFrame_OnEvent'
[string "*:OnEvent"]:1: in function `OnEvent'

ChatSounds blocked from using PartyMemberFrame1:SetAttribute()

It goes on to repeat for 25 different frames, like all party members, pet frame, etc.

Unfortunately, there needs to be an update for this now. There is no sound for this new RealID chat stuff. I keep missing people talking to me because i have become so reliant on chatsounds.

I know this was discussed earlier, but I didn't understand so if someone can clarify I'd appreciate it. How do you make the "tinking" noise stop without totally disabling the add-on? Someone mentioned it had to do with Carbonite (which I am also using).

You select no sound for custom channels.

But WHY is this happening? Is there some sort of interface with ChatSounds and Carbonite going on?

Late reply (sorry I don't check this site's comments too often).
It's because Carbonite is joining a custom channel.
(and additionally hides it from the chatframe so you don't notice it)
This is "old addon" behavior, no addon does it since WoW 2.x.

Anyway in 0.4.0 you can '/chatsounds channelname' to blacklist specific channels like the carbonite one,
and keep sounds for other custom channels used by players and not addons.

I live by this thing. Too bad there have been no updates. Maybe it's dead now?
Thank you for the instructions in the comments here, I was able to get it to work for Party-Leader chats.
If someone ever takes it over or starts working on it again, I would love to see sounds for earned achievements.
Great add-on, and one of my favorites. I highly recommend it to everyone.

In patch 3.3, this mod doesn't play any sound effects when the Party Leader talks. You can fix this with two changes, if you know how to make changes in a text editor.

(1) Open up ChatSounds.lua and find this line:

self:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY")

...and after it, put this line:

self:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY_LEADER")

(2) Find this line:

if (arg2 == UnitName ("player")) then

...and BEFORE it, add this line:

if msgtype == "PARTY_LEADER" then msgtype = "PARTY" end

That sound do it.

I loved this mod but had to stop using it because there was an annoying tinking sound that was constantly playing, like you were standing next to a blacksmithing area for the entire duration of your game. I had learned to tune it out, but after a while I simply couldn't stand it anymore and had to uninstall it. If there was a way to fix it, I'd be back before you could say howdy.

not chat sounds doing that...if you've ever had Carbonite it 's from that interacting...it opens a custom chat channel and that s where that annoying sound is coming from cause it will stop when I 'leave' it in the Social/chat window....

Hello Dridzt,

Can you please get in touch with WoWMatrix so as to enable their client to work with your add-on?

I like your add-on a lot. However, my aim playing WoW isn't about spending hours downloading add-ons, but hours playing it.

Thus - unless it can be included in my regular WoWmatrix update run, I will stop using it and encourage everyone doing same.

Cheers,

N.

A couple of questions:

-Allows users to /r after sending a whisper without getting a reply.

What does that mean? :/ Also, is there a way to preview the sounds?
