Custom sound files disabled?

I tried playing a custom sound file with PlaySoundFile() and I hear nothing. Is this disabled like custom textures were?

The code works for me in my little mod. How are you trying to play the sound? To make it work in a macro or just typing it in also works.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Spells\\AbolishMagic.wav")

Note the only wav files that will work are ones built into the wow client otherwise ogg or mp3 will be required.

Very true for some reason had a brain fart there. After trying an ogg of my own it did not seem to work. Kind of curious since dbm and gtfo use custom sounds and work fine in the beta. I even tried calling a couple of these mods sound files directly to no avail.

I'm confused! I use the AddOn Hear Kitty and the sound-files can not be played since last build. But DBM and GTFO still works fine. And all of these addons use the same format, .ogg!

Format and encoding is not always the same thing, keep that in mind.

True story!

On a side note, it seems that custom sounds are in fact disabled/broken. The CUSTOM sounds from DBM is not working, just checked it out!

Unless something changed, custom sounds had been enabled when custom textures were. My addon Awwww! is working on the beta client (or was, as of the other day).

That is true, it must have been disabled in 18689.

Do you guys think this is related to the inability to replace custom sound files over the default ones too? That's the Data\Sound\Spells\etc files we can create 0-length .ogg files to mute and stuff.

The folder structure is a bit different, so they could may be relocated someplace else. Has anyone tried and had any success?

I hope we're still able to replace default sounds. Sounds like Sound\Spells\JewelcraftingLoop.ogg make me crawl up the wall.

Getting fixed
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...2064?page=2#35
PlaySoundFIle() not working is a bug and should be fixed in a future Beta build.

In addition, functions that involve add-ons (GetAddonInfo, GetAddonDependances, etc.) should take the name or index.

This seems like a clear case of designing the API around the UI, but it would be very nice to have an API that was just usable as-is.
Apparently an active EU account doesn't qualify me to post there.

Slightly off-topic, but can you ask them if they can fix the item quality returns for GetInboxItem and GetSendMailItem? It always returns -1, even though the default UI is now meant to show item quality borders for mail items.
