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.

So, just for clarity's sake *And thank you for bearing with me and offering up a prompt response* I sit above Spawnpoint A, hit ~, and keep my headphones on, and 2 hours later if it spawns, without me touching anything, it will announce it as long as im still logged in? Without me holding it down or anything? Just once? This seems too good to be true heh.

I have a very stupid question because I'm pretty much a noob at this mod. Hopefully someone can answer me.
Arite. I load the mod. I set it to my ~ squiggly key. The ~ key is the NPCSCAN key binding. I put tape on it, or a rock, or something to keep it cycling. Is this correct? Or do I sit flying above where the spawnpoint I want to be at, is? I hit it once? Or I gotta use the tape/rock/whatever? Just looking for some insight because rares are pretty rough to find these days so testing this is a bit meh. Thanks for the help with this achieve! |

Using the RunWow.Bat code with Carbonite seems to upset it as it'll store settings in cache so i suggest modifying the code to;
Code:
DEL /Q Cache/WDB/enGB/creaturecache.wdb CLS @echo off @echo ************************* @echo * NPCScan Cache Deleter * @echo ************************* @echo Running launcher.exe Launcher.exe Exit |
