HideTalkingHead

Removes the message dialog that appears for quests/dungeons

The chat messages also appear in the chat window and the voiceovers will still play.

Don't have a mac so I don't know really about the crashing part, maybe it was fixed in 7.1? I originally called this to prevent Blizzard_TalkingHeadUI from loading, now it idd just calls Hide
UIParent:UnregisterEvent("TALKINGHEAD_REQUESTED")

But thanks for pointing users here from DBM

Curious, that doesn't crash game anymore? I remember calling Hide on talking frame instantly crashed out mac client, which is why i had to go with dirtier method to just unregister all events (thus no chat,no sounds) in my block I made couple months ago. Maybe they fixed that crash though and I can refactor mine to be less aggressive. or just remove mine and recommend this mod instead.

EDIT, went with full removal from DBM and pointing users here.

Yes, download the v1.0 release

https://www.wowace.com/addons/hidetalkinghead/files/1-v1-0/

(note that it won't work together with ElvUI if you're using that)

HideTalkingHead v1.0.1 now will keep the voice line sounds active, and also works for ElvUI

Thanks q3fuba! https://www.wowace.com/addons/hidetalkinghead/#c1

@q3fuba

Thanks q3fuba, I added this into HideTalkingHead. I didn't make it an option since users can still turn of all sound effects if they want

(I did use a slightly different version of your code)

Found a way to hide the TalkingHeadFrame but let the voice line sounds active.
Maybe you can add this in your AddOn as an Option or just do a Standalone AddOn.

local f = CreateFrame("Frame");

function f:OnEvent(event, addon)
  if  (event == "ADDON_LOADED")
  and (addon == "Blizzard_TalkingHeadUI")
  and TalkingHeadFrame_PlayCurrent then
    hooksecurefunc("TalkingHeadFrame_PlayCurrent", function()
      TalkingHeadFrame:Hide();
    end)
    f:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
  end
end

f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", f.OnEvent)

If you use ElvUI, then this addon won't work. There is no option in ElvUI to hide it, only to scale and skin it

You would have to ask the ElvUI team to add an option for hiding/disabling the TalkingHeadFrame

I fixed it this way:
The Addon is using UIParent:UnregisterEvent("TALKINGHEAD_REQUESTED")

So I checked the ElvUI/modules/blizzard/TakingHeadFrame.lua of ElvUI and added: TalkingHeadFrame:UnregisterEvent("TALKINGHEAD_REQUESTED")

Weird, will try to take a look at it. Does it also happen with all other addons disabled?

(Provided you have Beta access you and create a new char)
