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.

so in order to have npcscan look for the Custom NPCs (where the new dino hatchling pets drop from, Takk the Leaper, Dart, Razormaw Matriarch, etc), i have to enable "Search for tamable NPCs" ?

custom npc's across all chars
Im glad i found npc scan as its been working a treat with finding the rare raptor spawns.
Although, one thing i did notice is that custom npc i added for one character werent added in the npc scan custom npc list on other characters, which would be nice if they where. Yeoman |

I have an idea for a variation of the dalaran idea, only play the sound and go all crazy when the tamable mob you find is in the zone where it should be found in the wild
i.e. finding gondria in zuldrak will make the alarms go off, whereas finding her in icecrown wont and if this is already implemented, well, its still early morning ^^ i must say tho, after using this mod for so long, the drum noise heard elicites an actual physical response in my body, with heightened senses and a flow of adrenaline...

Alternatively, you could disable the "Print login reminders to empty the cache" option from the main _NPCScan menu. |

I just had a problem with the addon telling me Dirkee was nearby. I was killing the librarians and be actually snuck up behind me and aggroed without the addon triggering. I'd cleared the cache before I logged in tonight, so I know he wasn't cached, and all the option for recognition are enabled. After I killed him it showed him as cached, along with my pet Loque'nahak. I tried the test button and it made the sound like it was supposed to.
The addon worked in the past editions, which is odd. Using the most current. I kind of liked the alerts you got in Dalaran, etc. It let me know the addon was working *EDIT* I may have figured it out. Apparently there was a little checkbox on the frostbitten tab that was not checked, and made all the names other than the cached ones brighter. Maybe that was the problem.

Hi ive just installed this addon and have a few questions about it:
Some of the rare mobs names are greyed out despite them not being cached, why is this and how can I get the addon to search for them again? Am I right in thinking the addon only alerts you if a mob being searched is right near you? Sounds like a great addon, big thanks to whoever made/worked on it |
