Description by almostconnected
I often miss guild and party messages popping up on my screen since they don't make a sound. I figured I'd make a mod to solve the problem.

  • Can play new sounds for Guild, Officer, Party, Raid, Raid Leader(New), Battlegrounds(New), Battlegrounds Leader(New) Messages and Whispers.

Is there any way to include an option to exclude certain custom channels from making sounds? I've got a mod that uses a chat slot, and even though the text is hidden, I still hear the "plink, plink" that all the other custom channels use.
oooh, custom sounds for each channel'd be nice too.

I just downloaded this and applied my own sounds (those similar to my IM) and was wondering if there was a way or addon that could add sound to people in your guild or on your friends' list logging on and off. Think that would be really nice and a major bonus to this as I am lovin this addon.

Are you trying to use the live version on ptr?

Look under Optional Files and try the WotLK beta version:
ChatSounds (WotLK)

2.4
For any that still use this addon, it should work on 2.4 as is with a simple .toc update
or checking "load out of date addons" in wow addon selection screen.

I will not update it here until I've had a chance to logon to the live 2.4 servers (playing in EU) and verify it's so.

(looks around... yeah, this is the right place to post this... ahem)

Had the problem show up again, and ChatSounds was OFF when it did. So its clear its not ChatSounds. So readers of this mod should not be worried !!!


More details about the issue though:

It occurred in Azuremyst this time. I left Azure Watch and a Strider attacked me and the detail frame didnt show up, and was stuck this way for all attacks on me from anything else until I logged/relogged back in.

I had been attacked by a Strider on my way TO Azure Watch, yet the only things that happened while I was there, and right up to when I saw the problem was: turned in two quests, picked up another kill for stuff quest, and picked up the furbolg totem quest. The one that spawns a furbolg you follow up the hill.... hmmm?

Come to think of it, the other time I got this problem, was when I was escorting the Druid Bear guy in Dark Shore to Ashenvale. However, it doesn't explain the other times I saw this problem... as I didnt escort anything before those. Also when I escorted the powder courier in southeast Loch Modan the problem didnt occur.

I'm still trying to pinpoint it... cause its really driving me insane. I didnt want to dirty up your files comments with all this, but since it had been discussed I wanted to make it clear that the problem is NOT ChatSounds and that people should not be worried about using ChatSounds.

Yeah, I've done a lot of debug work for other mods in games, so I kind of know how it goes when you receive a bug of "hey, this doesnt work, it bombs". Heh. This is why I initially tried to reduce the culprit by process of elimination and only running one mod at a time till I saw the problem... which ended up with just this mod left in the list.

However, running without this mod seeing the problem crop up again... well, that threw my process of elimination back to square one.

What is odd is... ever since I got the problem earlier today... I have been running with all my mods ON again, and have YET to see the problem surface again! I'm starting to think its a series of events causing it, which actually is rooted in the core of the blizzard interface itself somehow.

I tried hard to think about the series of events leading up to the various points where I saw the problem start. Ive done everything I can think of, and can't reliably get it to start again, and I'm running all my mods still LOL. Stupid bugs.

So you are most definately right... ChatSounds has to be benign in the issue, and its something else.

BTW, thanks for a nice mod! I like being able to hear whenever a tell comes in! Great for when I'm doing something on the side and someone wants to talk. Very cool indeed, thanks again.

No waste of time

I wish all bug reports were as well worded.
You defined the test environment (get aggro without having a target) and described the bug.

Taint can be a hard problem to debug for end-user or developer.
To quote a slightly dated but still relevant post by Gello on the subject:
Quote:
Three things for users to be aware:
1. The reported mod may not be the one that has the problem, it's only the mod at the top of the pile.
2. The reported mod may not have done anything or be involved at all in what triggered the error.
3. While this seems like it would only affect movement, it also seems to affect everything that requires a hardware event being called when a hardware event didn't happen. This includes: SpellStopCasting, UseInventoryItem, CastSpellByName, etc. In most cases this will be SpellStopCasting since mods shouldn't've have been trying to use items or cast spells without a hardware event for a long time.

What's actually happening:
* ModA is perfectly benign and hooks ChatFrame_OnEvent
* ModB hooks ChatFrame_OnEvent and sometimes does SpellStopCasting when arg1=="Hey stop casting".
* ModC is perfectly benign and hooks ChatFrame_OnEvent
* ModD is perfeclty benign and hooks ChatFrame_OnEvent
ModD is being blamed for doing the illegal behavior, when ModB is the actual culprit. This is not really a bug with the game, it's just the nature of hook chains.
I'm pretty sure ChatSounds is benign in this case,
but I don't have a clue which of your other mods (or combination of mods) is the culprit.

I can't reproduce the problem. The target frame shows up every time.
Furthermore the mod has a total of 1 hooks and it's a quite common hook present in many mods,
I'd expect the problem to be widespread.
[/b]
I'm completely sorry. Somehow, I had been running with OUT this mod now for a day, and it started happening! I'm baffled...

I had it happen when:

This was the only mod enabled.
This mod was disabled, but OTHER mods were enabled.

I have never seen it happen:

Without ANY mods enabled.

I am still trying to pinpoint it... I am now doing one by one of every mod, and trying various things that have happened during a 'play time' to see if its a series of events... like, I talk to a quest giver and a quest is completed, then I go attack something, and then let something attack me. Or I go into map mode after an attack... or I pull open my bags or journals DURING an attack and close them... etc etc.

I am trying hard to find this problem, because whatever it is, it has me now dumbfounded why I saw it when ChatSounds was the only mod running, yet saw it when ChatSounds wasnt even loaded in

Terribly sorry for wasting your time on this... as it may be something that is well... something else entirely, but for the love of pete, I can't get the problem to occur if I have NO mods running!

If any of that rambling makes sense...
