Boss Mod TTS - DBM Help

Zathan666 · 10-31-12, 02:54 PM

I'm trying to resuscitate an awesome mod from WoTLK: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...to-Speech.html

The original author supported BigWigs, DBM and DXE. I fixed the master sound issue with DBM by following a user's suggestion on curse:

edit line 115 in DBM.lua to be:

PlaySoundFile(self.soundsDBM[spellId],"Master")

Edit line 117, 125, 127 in DXE.lua to be:

PlaySoundFile(sound,"Master")

more info here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2065568826

And then I've updated the files in libs (latest Ace3). I also made new high quality custom text to speech voices for all the bosses (Vaults and Heart of Fear)

My current release : http://www.wowinterface.com/download...FanUpdate.html

The problem with it right now is that DBM uses new functions/mod like:

NewCountAnnounce
NewTargetCountAnnounce
NewStackAnnounce
NewSpecialWarningTarget
NewSpecialWarningStack
NewPhaseAnnounce
NewSpecialWarningClose
NewPreWarnAnnounce

and some notification doesn't work because of that. I'm stuck...If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate. It's a very good mod that makes raiding more enjoyable in my opinion

Didn't you already post about this and get an answer over on WowAce?

Well yes, but it wasn't very successful eheh. Dritz seems pretty busy and not super motivated for the project.
I"m not gonna waste anybody's time don't worry

Well, it's hard to be motivated about a project you didn't write, have never used, and have no interest in ever using. It's one thing to help out writing random snippets of code. It's quite another to spend hours combing through someone else's huge and bloated codebase (DBM) to try to debug a different someone else's code.

To solve your current problem you would need to look at those specific functions in DBM and see what arguments they receive, and then adjust your own functions to work with those arguments.

I think there's developers that don't visit both forums (or budding developers at least).

More exposure is not bad someone might take an interest here.
Indicating that it's a cross-post for those that do frequent both places might be good though so they can skip the post if they've seen the other one.

I think your best bet would probably be the dedicated DBM forums?
I'm sure the mod has a huge following and perharps someone from its userbase has the knowledge and interest to update this plugin of sorts.
They even have links to select 3rd party plugins on their front page so they wouldn't be indifferent I think.
