THIS IS STILL A BETA VERSION.
I've tried several addons regarding this matter, most of us had the same ideas for Death Grip.
Since some appeared after I tried them, I grew tired of having all the addons using /yell or /say and not a single one had the possibility to turn it off.
So I started to make my own, while during that process, I started to think why only Death Grip? So here's the result of that idea.
You can type /DKSounds or /DKS for options, or you can open menu in-game, select Interface and Addons tab and you will see what you can enable / disable.
So you can have the messages (this checkbox it's for all messages), if you like it, or disable it.
Since I have more abilities you can enable / disable the sound for each one, so you have:
Death Grip: "Come Here!" and "Get Over Here!" - Scorpion MK (2 sounds - Random)
Rune Strike (proc): "Frostmourne Hungers." - Arthas WC3
Strangulate: "I find your lack of faith disturbing" - Darth Vader
Raise Dead: "For the Lich King!" - Arthas WC3
Blood Boil: "Your pain will be Legendary!" - Arthas WC3
Blood Strike: "You will know endless torment!" - Arthas WC3
Scourge / Frost / Heart Strike: "Glory to the Scourge!" - Arthas WC3
Obliterate: "NOW Frostmourne!" - Arthas WC3
Pestilence: "I will make sure, you suffer!" - Arthas WC3
Summon Gargoyle: "Summoning is complete!" - Acolyte WC3
Horn of Winter: "The Lich King has given me true power!" - Arthas WC3
Unholy Blight: "/emote *Frostmourne chants*" - Frostmourne Chants WC3
Death Knight Mounts: "I'm the One Horsemen of the Apocalypse!" - DK WC3
Cannibalize (for Undead DK): "Me eat dead people!" and "Me eat brains" - Ghoul WC3 (2 sounds - Random)
Shadow of Death: "The damned return!" - Necromancer WC3 (I don't recall if it's not Necromancer it's from Hero Lich)
I'm planning more additions to the future (Icy Touch, Plague Strike, etc)
FEEDBACK: I'm Unholy spec, so I need feedback regarding Frost and Heart Strike, also would like to know if Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade is working too.
Also I turned up the volume on most of WC3 Sounds, so I think would be more pleasant, anyway tell me what you think, thanks.
QUICK NOTE: Delete always previous DK_Sounds folder from your "Addons" folder at this stage, since files could change, on this version (>=0.7b3) i changed the remain WAV to MP3, so you're going to have files that are no longer needed ;)
UPDATE (2008.12.04):I received feedback from Winged Steed and it's not working and I know the reason of the problem :( (I had strip gold from others chars to buy the mount and test this, since I started the coding of the addon, didn't have much time to quest so my DK is still 70) the ID I put on the addon apparently it's a link to the object, it's not treated as spell :D it's link to physical school, the event don't even appear on Combat Log, not even the aura :(, so I hope I can make a detection on Mounted ID Aura 29582, hopefully it's only used for this mount. I will try to track this "bug" down.
THIS IS STILL A BETA VERSION.
0.7b3 Change Log:
- Now 'All sounds' it's really fixed (last fix caused another bug on 2 spells);
- Also Enable/Disable this last options, also lock/unlock the other sounds checkboxes;
- Converted all the WAV files to MP3 and amplified most of them were too low;
(This way addon will shrink it's size :D)
- Added Shadow of Death sound / msg (proc);
- Added Frost and Heart Strike to Scourge Strike;
(I ask you to give me feedback regarding Frost and Heart Strike, since I'm Unholy based, please)
- Added Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade to Acherus Deathcharger, so now option is DK Mounts (only);
( I don't have this mount yet, I ask some confirmation regarding this, please)
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
