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.

Re: Re: Getting Npcscan to save
Once you've finished adding NPCs to one character's list, make sure the game's closed and find the above file for that character. Then you can copy and paste it over your other characters' saved variables files. |

Getting Npcscan to save
I have just recently started to use Npcscan, and was wondering how do I get the mobs numbers to save when I log out? Past 3 times that i have entered the NPC's number, it has not saved and I have to re-enter it again?

So let's say I wanted to track Aeonaxx in Deepholm, I click world drop down list and at the very bottom in an orangeish color it says "Deepholm". But since Deepholm isn't a continent or an instance, would that mean Aeonaxx would (or would not) be scanned and I would not be alerted? I'd like to have this cleared out about the world option. Also what exactly is the differene between having chosen a world and just leaving it blank?

My bad it does work. Theres a little problem though, thats why i couldnt get it to work.
When you add the ID number and the area like twilight highlands - it wont pop up. When you just add the ID number and name and NOT the area. it will work. Thanks for the addon. |

NPCScan isnt working for me. The warning doesnt pop up ever but they get checked in the list when they are found. I tried adding npc IDs too and when they get found they get checked but the alarm never comes up neither they get targeted.
I deleted absolutely everything about npc save variables and what not and started from scratch but it wont work.. I have latest release. Any ideas? |

Sound in Background
I have music and ambient sounds checked off, and the rest of the soundoptions are checked on.
But can I hear the warning sound alt-tabbed ? Since the flapping of my drakes wings stops whenever I alt-tab to desktop or forum I'm not sure and wanted to ask. ( I did check all the posts, sorry if I overlooked this question but I could not find it between the previous pages ) |

\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enUS is indeed the correct path for Windows 7. (My roommate uses Windows 7 so I looked on his pc.) So for win7 users the file would look like:
c: cd\ cd\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enUS del creatu~1.wdb cd\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft launcher.exe I tested on my roommates pc and it worked fine. Btw, if you do the launcher bit, it leaves the dos box open. You can ignore it or close it immediately. Doesn't matter as it just sits there doing nothing and will close when the launcher closes.
