About ChatSounds

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. :)

Features:
-Can play new sounds for Guild, Officer, Party, Raid and RaidLeader(new), Battlegrounds(new), BG Leader (new) Messages and Whispers.
-Force Whisper sounds for every whisper.
-Allows users to /r after sending a whisper without getting a reply.
-Has a Configuration Dialog Box which is accessable through the comic bubble icon next to the Chat Frame.
-Saves its settings per character.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

There is a sound for incoming GM whispers,
just no configuration options from the GUI.

Reason for that is all options come in pairs for incoming and outgoing...
and I doubt any of the people downloading here are GMs.

Couple things....I use ChatMod....I didn't care for the sounds so I turned them off( don't have time to find new sounds)...I installed Chatsounds but I don't hear these sounds,does it need to be turned on? Also, since I use Chatmod I turned off the scroll icons next to chat....

It's not a big deal. I realized I could click the Defaults button, and feel okay doing so.
The addon currently works fine, and I have no clear ideas for additions, so until/unless a future patch breaks its functionality, it's living on.
If a patch does break it, I'll do my best to update it to comply.

Really like being able to choose in/out-going sounds. Great job. :)
Minor problem though: I removed all of the default sound files (they're too chirpy/mechanical) and put my own files in. When I changed the 'default sound' section, all of the sounds when I log in for the first time (per character) are set to None.
Also, would be good if you added a comment to that file that tells us what to set those defaults to to achieve a "None" -- I want to, by default, set all of the outgoing sounds to None, but didn't know of a way without guessing.
From my SoundList.lua file:
ChatSounds_Sound["Yo"] = { file=true, value="Interface\\Addons\\ChatSounds\\Sounds\\Yo.wav" }
AND THEN CHANGED THIS LINE TO:
ChatSounds_Defaults.Incoming["GUILD"] = "Yo"
But when I log into the game for the first time on a character, Incoming Guild is set to "None."

Some friends and I have our own custom channel we auto join when we log on since some of our characters are cross guilded, so support for custom channels would be useful. Hope to see it added at some point. :D
