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.

Did you ever get the dungeon block removed so it searches rares now is is that still in progress ?
Also, I deleted my creature cache so I dont have anything cached right now but I am curious about something. Why do some of the rares have their names greyed out on the list while others appear light orange ? Also, I see where the Bloody Rare & Frosbittin guys are listen but on the "custom" tab why are there only two rares / creatures listed. I know theres a ton more than two rares for old school (pre bc) stuff. |

I also wanted to make a suggestion. When the mod "finds" a creature and you click it's thing to bring up its hp bar before you close the found icon. What about adding like a way point arror so after you click it you can immediately tell wether its behind you or to your side so you know which way to run before it gets to far from you.
Hope that made sense ;-) |

Grayed out NPCs in a list aren't being searched for, either because they're cached, a pet, or not needed for their achievement. About that comment, what if I want the greyed out ones to be searched for anyway just so I can kill and loot ? Also, do you have any plans in the future for preloading alot of custom NPC's ? |

If you then wanted to copy all of those settings from one character to another, the instructions in my last post describe a quick shortcut you could take. Otherwise, no need to worry about it. |

As for making things slow, who knows. As for that link your posted, are those just old world (pre bc bosses) ? If so where would I find all the non dungeon bosses of BC & WoTLK that you dont have in the mod if any ? |
