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.

Hi there,
due the new cache scanning situation, i guess _npcscan can not alert me of an "unborn val'kyr" anymore? even when i'm flying afk over a certain spawnpoint? |

If you're tired of seeing the notification for the Blood Moon while in Tanaan, open Vignette.lua and directly beneath line 94 (if textureIndex == MAP_EVENT_ICON then) add the following line:
Code:
if name == "The Blood Moon" then return end |

In Tannan I was getting an announce when the event popped on the map, just a second before the zone wide announce for the big rares Terrorfist/ Vengeance/ Deathtalon / Doomroller
But recently it does not alert me to them. I now have to notice the red text from the zone announce or I miss them now. I only get an alert when I'm on top of the rares. something change? I need those alerts back... |

I don't know what the difference is between 6.2.3.3 (or .4) and 6.2.3.2 but 6.2.3.3 (and .4) is not finding rares that 6.2.3.2 does. Had to switch back.

HOW do I turn off frame popups
I can't move em and I can't get rid of 'em but they pop every 20 feet in Draenor. Without totally disabling the mod can I just shut off the NPC frame? Targeting sucks anyway, I really only need the sound.
many thanks in advance. |
