NPCScan helps you find NPCs by scanning nameplates, minimap vignettes, and mouseover targets, with an optional dynamic targeting keybinding. Once an NPC is found by one of these methods, an on screen alert is displayed and an audio alert is played.
Nameplates
Alerts will be triggered whenever a nameplate is created, if that nameplate belongs to one of the tracked NPCs. To use this feature with any reliability, the Interface->Names->Always Show Nameplates option must be turned on from the WoW Game Menu.
Dynamic Target Keybinding
NPCScan includes a key binding that will trigger a dynamically-generated targeting macro. Each time it is pressed, the key binding will trigger a /targetexact <mob name=""> for every tracked NPC in the current zone you are in, in addition to any custom NPC additions. This only attempts a search each time it is triggered; it is not a continuous search.
To access this feature, just set a keybind under the Key Bindings->AddOns->NPCScan->Targeting Macro section.
“Found” Alert
When an NPC is found, NPCScan alerts you by playing a loud and distinctive sound, making your screen pulse red, and displaying a Targeting Button for every NPC that is found.
Targeting Buttons
When clicked, the targeting button tries to target the NPC it depicts. You can also bind a key to trigger the newest button, in cases where multiple buttons are spawned.
Note: These buttons cannot be shown during combat. In the unlikely case that you do find a rare while fighting, the button or buttons will appear after you leave combat.
Options
NPCScan's main options window can be accessed from the Interface Options menu. To access the NPC list and other settings, type “/npcscan”.
New sounds can be added to the alert sound dropdown menu by installing SharedMedia.

I just installed this addon today, and I'm unable to move the target alert button. I tried the ctrl-drag thing, and it doesn't budge. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hm, its really strange. I've always been using NPCscan and had no problem. Today I realized that my custom npc list is gone. Ok, I thought, WoW once again messed up the database, as it happens once in a while. But the backup file wont be read and downloading the database again had not the effect I hoped it would have. After quitting WoW the 20k database would just reset to a 0k file with just three lines of default code.
I re-downloaded the addon but it just wont accept any databases anymore. How can this be? It has always worked! Any ideas? Thanks! |

Been using this addon for a long time now. I'd like to thank the author for this awesome thing.
Anyhow, I spent many hours making a Custom List with possibly every rare spawn in the game, that's including all of the 1-60 ones and rare dungeon bosses such as Panzor and Meshokk. I made a video as well on how to attach this list to your characters. I just really want to spread the joy of finding rares in the old world, not only level 60+ zones. So yeah, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PUDlmzb-h4 |

bug?
When I enable npc scan, I'm unable to move, or do anything else with my keyboard. Can't even press escape to logout. When I disable npc scan, I don't have the problem. And I got this LUA error few days ago.
Message: Interface\AddOns\_NPCScan\_NPCScan.lua:49: attempt to index local 'L' (a nil value) Time: 01/31/11 20:08:48 Count: 1 Stack: Interface\AddOns\_NPCScan\_NPCScan.lua:49: in main chunk Locals: me = <table> { Version = "4.0.3.6" OptionsDefault = <table> { } OptionsCharacter = <table> { } Updater = <unnamed> { } Options = <table> { } Frame = <unnamed> { } } L = nil ContinentID = 5 MapID = 640 FindDeepholm = <function> defined @Interface\AddOns\_NPCScan\_NPCScan.lua:36 DEEPHOLM = "Deepholm" (*temporary) = <table> { Version = "4.0.3.6" } (*temporary) = <table> { } (*temporary) = "The Lost Isles" (*temporary) = "The Maelstrom" (*temporary) = 1 (*temporary) = 4 (*temporary) = 1 (*temporary) = 1 (*temporary) = "Deepholm" (*temporary) = "Kezan" (*temporary) = "The Lost Isles" (*temporary) = "The Maelstrom" (*temporary) = "The Lost Isles" (*temporary) = "The Maelstrom" (*temporary) = <function> defined @Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:183 (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = WorldMapFrame { 0 = <userdata> numQuests = 0 } (*temporary) = "WORLD_MAP_UPDATE" (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = WorldMapFrame { 0 = <userdata> numQuests = 0 } (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = 0 (*temporary) = 1 (*temporary) = 1 (*temporary) = <function> defined @Interface\FrameXML\WatchFrame.lua:77 (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = "attempt to index local 'L' (a nil value)" Any idea what could be wrong? my wowmatrix said it was up to date. |
