Technically this isn't an addon. It's a zip that contains a text file that listd the /script commands to play almost any sound in game.

If it was in the MPQ files then there should be a /script command to play them. From 25 man raid bosses to the sound a Gnome Male makes when dying.

I've also included instructions on how to do this yourself if I ever drop off the face of the earth

Instructions for use


1) Unzip the zip file

2) Open up "WowSoundsUpdatedTo430.txt" using Word, Wordpad, Notepad or any decent text editor.

3) Use Control-F ie the Find function to find what you need.

3) Copy that /script command with Control-C (copy)

4) Switch to the game

5) Press Enter to bring up a chat box

6) Control - V to Paste it in.

7) Press return. The sound should play

These script commands can also be used in Macros


Now before posting in the comments about looking for a sound please make the effort to find it first.

I'm not trying to be mean or rude it's just that I might not always have the time to find it for you. I might not even be able to login to the game to test that I've found the right sound for you as I could be answering posts at work. Try searching on the NPC name or alternatives of the NPC name. Don't be afraid to try ones you think it is. Once you've exhausted all reasonable avenues to find it yourself then post and I'm sure someone will be happy to help

I've spot checked a few but haven't tested every single /script command I've listed here. Let me know if some aren't working for you.

Bluspacecow's Favourites :
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\NPCGhoul\\NPCGhoulVendor04.ogg")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\NPCGeist\\NPCGeistVendor04.ogg")

Eisa's Favourites :
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Anubrekhan\\Anu_Naxx_Taunt01.ogg")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Loathstare\\Loa_Naxx_Aggro02.ogg")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Moroes\\MoroesSlay03.ogg")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Mortar Team\\MortarTeamReady1.ogg")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Wolf Rider\\WolfRiderPissed3.ogg")
(and many many more)

From now on I will be doing full extracts of all the MPQ files for each patch with new sounds in it. I will then be filtering first on all known sound file extensions then on all the other file extensions I see.

So unless the sound you are looking for is in the client program (unlikely) it should be in this listing.

If you can't find it under what you would expect it's because it's named differently to what you would expect.




Updated for 4.3.0 +1,472 new sound paths ! Total of 37,098 sound paths !!!!
