Dukebox is a addon that plays Duke Nukem's (From Apogee/3D Realms Duke Nukem Games) one liners. Currently you can hear one of his comments when you kill something, start a boss fight, kill a boss, heal yourself, enter an instance, go afk, and when you die. The frequency of how many times you hear a one liner per mob kill can also be adjusted.

Changes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0
-------------------
NOTE
-------------------
--Heard the addon was having problems with Wrath, so have looked over the code
and updated it to the current live client.
--I plan to change the interface and add more customization, but right now I
wanted to bring the addon up to date.
-----------------------------
Changes
-----------------------------
--Fixed a problem with the item sounds, they were conflicting with another
variable somewhere and was screwing up the addon. All good now!
---------------------
TODO
---------------------
--Revamp the interface, hopefully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.5b
-----------------------------
NOTE
-----------------------------
--This is the BETA of the new Dukebox. Please test it out, and comment if any problems are found. Specifically the boss sound effects (try battling a level skull boss) because I don't raid anymore and can't check myself. Also try testing it in the BGs.
-----------------------------
Changes
-----------------------------
--Works with new chat system: Blizzard introduced a new combat chat window system, and also a new API along with it. Because Dukebox uses the combat log to fire certain events, previous versions were not working. The codes been modified, and all sounds should play. (As a bonus, non-English clients "SHOULD" work now, since they are not dependent on the actual text).
--Fixed HOT Bug: If a player was healed with a HOT, the heal sound would get spammed every tick, making a real annoying sound. This has been removed, and no sounds will play on HOT spells!
--New Item Sound System: Before, the only way to get the item pickup sounds, was to get the confirm loot window to pop up. I have redone the code, and you will now get a one-liner when you loot a green or higher item, like it was intended!
--New Sounds: Sounds from the Duke Nukem game, Manhattan Project, have been added. 15 sounds are included, though the KILL sounds have been disabled, because I don't think they give off that Duke Nukem feel. You can re-enable them by opening "dukebox_snd_cfg.lua"; and setting "kill_num" to 20.

TODO

--Localization: I keep saying it, but hopefully one day I'll implement it.
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.
