rare ding

[Mechrior]

What part of the addon makes the ding sound and prints the co'ords into chat when a rare mob is found?

You'll find the code for that in [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Units > nUI_UnitSpec.lua ]

How does NUI detect the rare mob? And how far out will it find one? i was using silverdragon but 3.3 hosed it and now all i have is the built in one in NUI but it does not seem to find them as good. Any plans on changing it ?

It detects the mouseover target and checks the status of it and reports the according information and making the noise. I might add though that it does the same sound on a dead body that is a rare/elite etc. Maybe worth changing that at some point too Scott.

found the code for the rare but is there anyway to change that sound

i have a external wav file and when i run a script playsoundfile command in wow it plays but when i change it in the lua it doesnt

is there anything im missin.

lets say i want to use interface\\crit04.wav what would i have to change?

i alrdy tried to replace auctionwindowclose > crit04 or crit04.wav or interface\\crit04.wav or interface\\crit04 , but they just dont play when i find a rare ,

the standard auctionwindowclose sound does work

Do this...

Create a directory [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > Sounds ] then copy your "crit04.wav" file into that directory.

Now edit the path for the rare sound in the nUI source and change it to [ Interface\\AddOns\\nUI\\Layouts\\Default\\Sounds\\crit04.wav ] and save the change.

Load Wow and log in then see if the new sound works. I suspect it will.

actually that didnt work ;-)

but found out that when u want to use another soundfile then the internal wow sounds

u have to change the PlaySound to PlaySoundFile

and then replace the standard "auctionwindowopen" with ur external sound file

thx for the fast reply tho
