About libRaidVoice

This library provides simple API for integrating some of RaidVoice features. RaidVoice addon is my main project that enables people to see each other when speaking on external voice chat like TeamSpeak or Ventrillo. Purpose of this library is to hook global function UnitIsTalking and to provide custom voice events that can be embedded in other addons, mainly targeting unitframes. The unitframes can then capture and broadcast voice events and use the global function to show who is speaking over external voicechat.

How it works:

Library should snoop on RaidVoice communication an use small cache to store who is speaking. When voice status of any players changes callback will be fired.Detailed description of API will be provided when implementation is finished. For more information on the subject see RaidVoice addon page.

Documentation

Example usage:

In your addon register the library and calls your function - voiceUpdate in this example

event is only one RAIDVOICE_UPDATE

local RV = LibStub('libRaidVoice-1.0')

function addon:OnEnable()
  RV.RegisterCallback(addon, "RAIDVOICE_UPDATE")
end

function addon:RAIDVOICE_UPDATE()
  -- random updating code
  for unit, frame in self:RandomFrameIterateFunction() do
    if unit and UnitIsTalking(UnitName(unit)) then
      self:ShowVoiceIcon(frame)
    else
      self:HideVoiceIcon(frame)
    end
  end
end

--how to broadcast voice events:

--bind keys to

RV:playerStartsSpeaking()
RV:playerStopsSpeaking()


--Or enable blizz voice chat, set voice sensitivy and call:
RV:useVoiceActivation(true)

(optional) RV:setVoiceUpdatePeriod(2) 
--update period in seconds

--This can be disabled using:
RV:useVoiceActivation(false)



--how to hide blizz voice box with player name

		VoiceChatTalkers:UnregisterAllEvents();
		VoiceChatTalkers:SetScript("OnLoad",nil);
		VoiceChatTalkers:SetScript("OnUpdate",nil);
		VoiceChatTalkers:SetScript("OnEnter",nil);
		VoiceChatTalkers:SetScript("OnEvent",nil);
		VoiceChatTalkers:Hide();

global functions:

UnitIsTalking(playerName) - returns 1 if player is speaking on external voichat or when speaking over Blizzard voicechat, nil if not speaking.

do NOT use IsVoiceChatEnabled to test for voicechat existence this function returns 1 only if blizz voicechat is enabled, it does not check external voicechats that use raidvoice

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.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

quick question: With this library if another player is talking he would either have to have raidvoice addon installed or be speaking through blizzards voice chat for me to see it? In other words it cannot detect that my friend is using ventrilo without Raidvoice addon installed on his computer correct?

Yes. The player who speaks has to have RaidVoice addon. This library just recieves that he is speaking - atleast for now.

Please post any feedback/questions you have regarding the library. Also if you write me name of your addon i will post a list of addons/unitframes supporting raidvoice. If you like this library or raidvoice addon spread the word, that would make me happy.
