NPCScan helps you find NPCs by scanning nameplates, minimap vignettes, and mouseover targets, with an optional dynamic targeting keybinding. Once an NPC is found by one of these methods, an on screen alert is displayed and an audio alert is played.
Nameplates
Alerts will be triggered whenever a nameplate is created, if that nameplate belongs to one of the tracked NPCs. To use this feature with any reliability, the Interface->Names->Always Show Nameplates option must be turned on from the WoW Game Menu.
Dynamic Target Keybinding
NPCScan includes a key binding that will trigger a dynamically-generated targeting macro. Each time it is pressed, the key binding will trigger a /targetexact <mob name=""> for every tracked NPC in the current zone you are in, in addition to any custom NPC additions. This only attempts a search each time it is triggered; it is not a continuous search.
To access this feature, just set a keybind under the Key Bindings->AddOns->NPCScan->Targeting Macro section.
“Found” Alert
When an NPC is found, NPCScan alerts you by playing a loud and distinctive sound, making your screen pulse red, and displaying a Targeting Button for every NPC that is found.
Targeting Buttons
When clicked, the targeting button tries to target the NPC it depicts. You can also bind a key to trigger the newest button, in cases where multiple buttons are spawned.
Note: These buttons cannot be shown during combat. In the unlikely case that you do find a rare while fighting, the button or buttons will appear after you leave combat.
Options
NPCScan's main options window can be accessed from the Interface Options menu. To access the NPC list and other settings, type “/npcscan”.
New sounds can be added to the alert sound dropdown menu by installing SharedMedia.

Nice.
Was trying to find a way to get all of the rares. Glad I stumbled on this! The way that I read this, you do NOT need to be facing it? it is a full 360 scan? Am I correct in reading it that way? Sorry if it was noted already didn't see it (read the whole thread but may have missed it.) Because I saw that some Addons like this you need to "see" it for it to go off. Also, on some sites it showed the "Pop-up" you get, and I noticed that in the case of TLPD, it was facing differant directions. Sometimes a frontal picture sometimes a side shot. Does it do that to show the way it is traveling if it patrols? If so is a good way to get a "fix" on it's location?

Each character has a separate list of NPCs to look for. If one of your characters used _NPCScan before Gondria was added, that character's NPC list won't have changed (therefore still no Gondria). The default for logging into a new toon will already have Gondria on the list, though. You can either add her to your older characters' lists manually, or reset their lists using the Defaults > These Settings button at the bottom-left corner of the options window: |

Saiket,
Yes, you're right, selecting the tamable option did highlight those. Interesting to see now though, it 'appears' I have already found Loque'nahak, but to my knowledge have not - not to mention haven't been in the basin since installing NPCScan. Loque has a red 'x'. Hmmm?? |

NPCScan Confusion
Not sure what's going on with this addon. I found it just a few days ago at wowinterface and downloaded it and installed it, but found my installation wasn't matching the description/use of the mod. For instance didn't have the 3 tabs across the top, only one window with list of rares and I added TLPD. I found 2 rares and killed one. (Having trouble finding/targeting after npcscan alert).
Anyway, decided to redownload and install. Quit WoW. Tossed Cache. Tossed _NPCScan. Emptied trash. Fresh download. Fresh install. Now I have a UI matching the description, but on tabs 2 and 3 (Frost and Bloody) it is showing half a dozen 'greyed' rares (as if I had found them already) and still shows the one I did kill (Crazed Indu'le Survivor). There are no 'red x's' (like in the first install) next to my one kill, only a green check mark in col 4. No marks (x's or checks) next to greyed NPCs. Any help please. Could use help with finding and targeting after alert too. Thanks |

On a completely out-of-the-way sidenote/question, would it be possible to announce the rare books in Dalaran using the same system?
