About AFK Warning
This add-on is simply to warn you when you have been set AFK.
FAQ: I'm afraid it is against the Blizzard T&C to prevent the AFK from happening or canceling it by moving or jumping your character though an addon/macro or any software/hardware (e.g. G15 Keyboard). So please don't ask. I would love to help but it's simply not possible Just turn your sound up and use this addon! ;-)
I have been forced recently due to my account being hacked to contact the GMs to get my stuff back. And waiting for 2-8 hours for a GM to reply is bad enough as it is but when you are watching TV and don't notice your self going AFK then get logged out that really got on my wick as THAT was always the time the GM decides to contact me! To get around this I created this very simple add-on that just plays a sound (currently it a windows sound but you could change the wav to whatever you want!
Hope it helps others as well and I am sure there are other uses for this as well! I have already found it useful for something else as while making other add-ons and I find I am logged into the game while just making a quick change and 5 mins later I look up and I am logged out of wow... not any more! ;-)
Usage:
There is nothing to configure on this it doesn't time anything it is really simple and just plays a sound when you go AFK. Then plays another sound when you come back.
The game sets you AFK automaticly after a certain time (not changable) and then when you move sets you back automaticly.
If you want to change the sound files open the addon directory find the two sound files and replace them with the ones you want. Then restart WoW!
If you have a suggestion or bug then please by all means post a comment below but also PLEASE add a ticket here.
That way it will help me keep track of stuff I need to do. Also it will allow other people to vote on them, for example with bugs, people can say that this bug is more important that the other one or that they want/don’t want certain functionality someone has requested. Finally it keeps all the comments together for each bug or new functionality AND people can subscribe to each ticket individually to tell you when something has been fixed!
Again to add a ticket this go to http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/afkwarning/ (curseforge is the developers side of curse) then login with your curse.com account info and open a ticket. Please remember to specify if it is a bug or new functionality etc...
Enjoy

this is really obvious, but have a sounds list menu.
OK added a feature request for it here. Feel free to go and update it.
I have added a few others I am working on currently for it so will look into adding this one as well. :)
Thanks
Just wanted to give some suggestions on features that could be useful for people in my situation. This could be very useful when camping rares if you could set the alarm to go off at a custom time. Currently, you are set to 'Away' after 5 minutes, and logged out automatically after 25 minutes (total, 30 minutes of being inactive). So if I'm resting or cooking or something, it's really useless/annoying for the alarm to be going off after only 5 minutes - after 25 minutes though would be fantastic for me.
Also, I normally have sound effects/ambiance/music/etc. muted because the flapping of my mounts wings drive me insane after a few hours, but that also means I don't hear the alarm. So making the alarm audible even when the game is muted would be great.
BTW, you go AFK after 5 minutes, not 2.
AFK Warning doesn't set the time you go AFK that is set by Blizzard can can't be changed.
Is this possible?

I AM now officially playing WOW again... I am currently working on a new friends add-on which is coming along nicely and as soon as it is at a stage that is stable enough that I need BETA testing I will post it on curse.com. If any of you are having trouble with this add-on (or any of my other add-ons) please contact me here on curse and I will reply (normally fairly quickly as this is more interesting that work! ;-))
This add-on is working fine for me and after I have done a few more changes I will mark it ready for the current version and upload it. If I don’t get any problems for a week odd I will mark it as V1!
Then will be starting to add to any suggestions for improvement so get them in now and don’t be shy if you want it I am sure someone else does! ;-)

Zas
Anyway if you are still looking for this you will find it in the "wow directory\Interface\Addons\AFKWarning\Sounds". In there you will find the sound files. Just replace them with the sound files you want. For example if you want to change the AFK sound find a wav file to replace it with (from anywhere on the internet or wow or windows etc..) and then rename it to AFK.wav and put it in the sounds directory in replacement of the old file.

Zas
