    Play music/a notification on whisper

    Ok, so I did a quick search and I couldn't find anything similar to this in another thread...

    This is mainly in response to a couple of requests I've seen including
    Is there any legal way of having a sound alert played when a whisper is received ingame, even if WoW is minimized? I mean, if I setup such an addon to start playing a heavy metal song upon getting a whisper, that should at least let me reply to GMs. Hell, would be nice if it could separate from normal whispers and GM whispers as well, to avoid getting woken up 20 times a night...
    and
    I usually sit afk on WoW while I wait for arena members while I play games like Spore or CoD4 and I constantly have to tab back and forward to check for whispers and to see if people are on. I have used pir0x bot and that plays a sound whenever you get a whisper, so I was wondering, is there a program that plays a sound outside of WoW whenever you get a whisper?
    The first thing you'll want to do is grab an addon called Prat, available from Prat 3.0 - Addons - Curse.

    This is a chat enhancement addon that has many features, including sounds upon guild chat, raid chat, party chat, and most importantly whispers.

    After installing prat, you'll want to open up the options menu by typing /prat.

    Open up the Module Control tab of the menu and make sure that the Sounds module is set to "Enabled".

    After doing this, open the Extra Stuff tab, and select sounds from the left menu.

    Under the Incoming Sounds tab of the sub menu, you'll notice different types of chat.

    Whisper is the one you want. Select a random sound you like, or alternatively select a sound you'd like to replace.

    If you've selected one you like, you can stop here... But if you want to replace it with... say... a heavy metal song... you'll need to exit WoW, open up your WoW folder and go through this path: \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0\sounds

    Here you'll see the different sounds you have available, replace the sound you want to use (this sound must use the same name and the ogg format, you can use a free program such as Audacity to create sounds in this format).

    And that's it Start wow up, and whisper yourself to make sure it works.

    It's a good idea to change it to heavy metal. When it plays I would "zOMG WTF HAPPENED!" and run to my PC! +Rep

    I should also mention that 4.0.1 broke addon sound, previously, addons would play sounds even when all other sound was turned off... which was absolutely great for this particular addon...

    However, with 4.0.1, addon sound is now bundled with wow's sound, so you can't have an addon play a sound without the rest of wow's sound playing as well....

    You can use this addon, Addon Sound Enabler - Addons - Curse, to disable wow's sound, and reenable it when an addon plays a sound.

    Very nice guide, thanks for replying to my request (the top one). I don't really care for Heavy Metal myself, but that's exactly why it's a good thing to choose that for notifying you of whispers; you'll know that whenever you want to kill the computer, you've got a GM whisper. Awesome!

    Thanks for the guide, bro... +rep
