About ChatSounds

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 having a problem. If someone has their or status up, and they talk, the sound does not play. It may only be a problem for custom channels, I'm not sure.

    Well I found the problem, which you probably already new. You specifically silenced them with this line:
    0 then return end
    But I don't know why. I modified the line to:
    0 then return end
    and it's working fine for me. I saw the comment earlier about people not being informed of afk status, but I've not experienced that problem since changing the line.

    I posted before about having to turn up the sound effects to hear Chatsounds. You then posted later that that was not fixable due to Blizzard's new way of doing things. I would like to say that something must have changed because PowerAuras is now able to play on the master channel instead of the sound effects channel. And, yes, I have tested this to make sure they were correct. So, if they can do it, then I am curious if you have the ability to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Also got the same problem as skatman3489.
    Before I could hear the channel sounds without having blizzards sound turned on.
    Any chance to fix this? Thanks..

    This is not something this addon (or any other) can fix.

    It is a change in the default client with WoW 4.0.1 and later.
    Previously PlaySoundFile() (the function this and all addons that play sounds - like BossMods - are using) would play the sound regardless if you had game sound enabled or not.

    This is currently not the case and there's nothing we can do about it.

    I will push a .toc update but you could just tick "load out of date addons" in addon screen for now.

    The addon works fine for WoW 4.0.1.

    Options are accessible from the chat-bubble button above your chat
    or if you are running some custom chat mod that is hiding it,
    by typing /chatsounds

    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'

    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).

    glad to see the answer to this, that ticking is annoying to say the least, btw...u get this if u have EVER had Carbonite, I uninstalled it and have reloaded everything from scratch (new PC) and I still get that ticking.
