A JukeBox application which allows you to play in-game music files. Open using /jukebox or /jb.
Updates in Version 1.2.1
- Bug fix: Music will no longer stop playing after dismounting (when AutoPlay is disabled).
- New: Auto-Loop feature. Check this to automatically activate music looping when it's played by Auto Play.
- New: Auto-Play setting for music in Battlegrounds. Put your favorite face-rolling music on as you dominate the battlegrounds!
- New slash commands. Type /jb help to view a listing of slash commands.
Coming Soon...
- More control of PlayLists: Skip to the next song, go back to the last one, etc.
- More AutoPlay events and better control of AutoPlay.
Version 1.2.1 is now available. This update is what 1.2 was meant to be! :) AutoPlay should no longer erroniously stop your music from playing even if you don't have AutoPlay activated. Auto Play also has a new setting, Auto Loop, where you can have JukeBox automatically loop the music played by Auto Play. All of this is also useful for the new Auto Play event: Battlegrounds!! Enable this to play your favorite songs inside PvP Battlegrounds.
Version 1.2 is now available. Ulduar is here, and so is the Argent Tournament! Get a sneak peak at what is boding deep in the ancient halls of Ulduar, and get your joust on anywhere you please!
This is my first Addon to both use a UI and have more than one line of LUA code, as well as my first submission to Curse. If it proves to be something people want, I will happily maintain and update this Addon to be full-featured.
To use JukeBox, first install the AddOn and load up the game. When in the game, type the /jukebox command to bring the window up.
On the main window you will find 3 different sections: the music selection, the music info, and the Now Playing section.
In the Music Selection section, you can choose which song you want to hear. Just select the expansion, then which zone it's from, and then click the name of the song you want to here.
It will now appear in the Music Info section, where the track name and length is displayed. Click the "Play..." button to play the music.
The song will now appear in the "Now Playing" section, where its current duration is displayed and a Stop button is available.
When selecting which song you want to listen to, you can choose the option to wait for the current song to finish playing before playing this song. Just check the "Wait for current song to finish" box and your song will be queued for play when you click the Play button.
You can also choose to Loop the currently playing track. To do this, check the "Loop" box in the Now Playing section. While this is enabled, the currently playing song will not stop until you either click the Stop button or uncheck the Loop box. Note that if you have a queued song, it will not play until the Loop box is unchecked.
A little bonus feature that I thought would be a little cool is the "Background Themes." Located near the close button at the top-right of the window, you can choose a background theme to be displayed. Note that this will most likely take up system resources, so I don't advise using it when FPS is an issue.
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.
