QuestSounds (MoP beta)

QuestSounds - version 2012.07.08 (MoP Beta)

The "live" version of this addon now has been updated, see http://www.wowinterface.com/download...estSounds.html (version 2012.08.29)

QuestSounds is a small addon to give audio cues on the following events:

• you complete a quest
• you complete an objective of a quest
• you gain progress on one of the objectives of a quest

Each of these events will cause a distinct sound to be played (only the 'highest ranked' of these sounds will play, of course)

The idea for this addon was inspired by MonkeyQuest's quest completion sounds; I wanted to have that feature without having to load that full addon, as most other features of MonkeyQuest are now provided by blizzard's built-in objectives tracker.

My goal is to keep this addon small. This has the following implications:

• There is only little configuration flexibility, via commandline instructions (see below)
• The sounds are sounds that are sounds that are embedded in the game, they are not external sound files.
• There is no localization support. As far as I can see, the addon will work in other languages as well, but the feedback messages will be printed in english and the commands are in english.

Known problems:

• The sounds may not play the first time they should play (if they aren't cached yet).
• For some quests the wrong 'rank' of sound may play (e.g. the objective complete sound when the quest complete sound should play)

Configuration:

There are a few configuration commands available via the "/qsnd" command ("/questsounds" is an alias for "/qsnd"). Sorry - no graphical configuration yet.

There are a few "sound sets" built in that you can choose between. In this version you can switch between these via:

• /qsnd set gong
• /qsnd set wacky
• /qsnd set creatures

The 'wacky' set is the default in this version. (In the previous version the 'gong' set was the default)

You can test the sounds via the "/qsnd test" command:

• /qsnd test quest
  (plays the "quest complete" sound)
• /qsnd test objective
  (plays the "objective complete" sound)
• /qsnd test part
  (plays the "progress" sound)
