About Chat Alert!

Very simple AddOn that plays a sound when you have incoming text from tell, guild, guild officer, warbands and other important texts. Each type of text has it's own sound so you will learn just by the alert-sound where the message is from.

Requirements

NOTE:This AddOn requires LibSlash. http://www.curse.com/downloads/detail.../13510/

Command line options

/ca toggle [CHANNEL] - Will toggle the alert for this channel.

/ca sound [CHANNEL] [soundID] - set sound played for CHANNEL to soundID

/ca play [soundID] - test soundID sound.

/ca slist - list sound IDs Mythic has available.

/ca channels - Will list all channels that generate alerts.

Channels that can be toggled.

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" 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 has 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
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- 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 Warhammer Online

Translations

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

Ok so I thought this addon would help a ton with seeing personal tells. So I downloaded it and libslash together (just a few days ago so both are at the latest versions). Once installed I decided to turn off some sounds and then change some sounds around. Incoming Tells are most important so I changed the sound to be something a bit more noticing then the default. Once I did that none of them are working now.

I went in and deleted the folder from the Addon directory and unzipped a new one. Still not working. I then replaced the whole interface directory and let WarHammer create a new one. Once that was done I unzipped again both programs and they are still not working. I verified the sound is turned on but nothing happens when I receive an incoming tell. The only thing I noticed was that even though I got a whole new interface folder the settings for what channels are turned on or off remained. So when I reloaded the 2nd time all the channels I originally turned off were still off.

I just really wanted to get incoming tell alerts. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks

You might want to delete the saves user settings for the addon since this is probably what is corrupt for you. In you WAR folder, you will see folder called "user". In there, traverse down until you see your character's folder and inside there you should see a folder called "ChatAlert". Delete the ChatAlert folder. Be sure the game is not running when you do this. This will reset everything to the way it was when you installed the addon.

Hmm... I'm trying to change the sound.

When I type

/ca sound SHOUT 303

the responce is..

Unable to set sound for channel 303 to .

I have the most recent LibSlash. Also if I just type.. for kicks..

/ca sound

I get.. [string "Interface/AddOns\ChatAlert\ChatAlert/lua"]:127

Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. The only way I found to change the sounds is to do it manually. Since there have been no updates to this addon for 7 months, I thought I'd post my answer to help others like you.

In your WAR folder, you have a subfolder called "user". In there, traverse down until you find your characters folder and eventually you will come across a folder called ChatAlert. This folder contains the settings for the addon. The file SavedVariables.lua you will want to open in notepad and change all the sound ids in there. Be sure to not have game running when you do this and make a copy of the file before editing it as backup. This works for me and hope it helps you and all who read this.

The channels names are case-sensitive IIRC. I had this problem about 2 weeks ago, and fixed it, but I've sense forgotten exactly what it was. But I do believe that either the "sound" command or the channel name had to have the first letter capitalized. Hope this works for y'all. :)

Same problem. I try: /ca sound SHOUT 220
and get the message: "Unable to set sound for channel 220 to"

I'm using a german client and tried it also with /language engslish

Need help!

looks like heavy metal update changed the sound 220 which is used for the /scenario chat

Yeap, thats one reason I sat down and reworked things so people could change the soundIDs. This way won't have to mess with it anymore ;)

How about a text signal on the screen? Or at least a symbol near the minimap like in SpamMeNot?! Sometimes with all the battle dim around ya, you can barely hear yourself thinking ;)

in-game sound tester would be appreciated. if theres anyway to make some sort of tab around mini-map (like in alot of wow mods) that had option such as, selecting channels, choosing sound for each channel, possibly uploading new sounds. Visual options would be awesome for user friendly

Added in game sound test and the ability to change your soundIDs for whichever channel you want.

I am having an error with this addon: [string "Interface/AddOns\ChatAlert\ChatAlert/lua"]:127

I have updated both the addon and LibSlash.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Love this addon, and hope to get it working again.

Actually I meant more along the lines of allowing me to use .wav files or .mp3 files for "custom" sounds. I'll see about adding a option to alter the sounds but right now most people don't know how to get a list of all the ingame sound values to use so I didn't see much use.
