Sound Files and Macros

This guide will talk about sound files, and how to incorporate them into macros to make your spells and abilities more entertaining.

Here is a download link to a complete list of the text commands.

Download WoW Sounds!

If you've downloaded the WoWsoundfiles.txt from this link, you've skipped a long and painful extraction process and now have most, if not all, World of Warcraft sound files.

These files range from the noises mobs and NPCs make when aggro'd, to scripted end-game raid boss introductions and death sequences, including everything in between.

I made this guide for two reasons;

1. To listen to end-game raid content that I will most likely never hear.

For most of us this will never happen. We may never hear what these bosses will have to say in this new day and era of WoTLK.

(For some of you it's not a big deal, that's fine)

An alternative might be youtube.com, but too often have videos been submitted with crappy soundtracks dubbed over them, or incredibly awkward teenagers raging at each other over vent, drowning out whatever is going on in-game.

These are some samples from The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj's final boss, C'Thun.

Open up your chat box in-game, and copy paste this;


/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\CThun\\CThunDeathIsClose.wav")
"Death is close."


/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\CThun\\YourHeartWill.wav")
"Your heart will explode."

Note: No one else but you can hear these sound files.

2. To make my spells more entertaining by using macros along with these sound files.

Using the two examples above, I will show you some examples of what macros my warlock is currently using.

#showtooltip
/cast Death Coil
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\CThun\\YourHeartWill.wav")
Now every time I cast Death Coil, the sound clip "Your heart will explode." will play.


#showtooltip
/cast Shadowfury
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\CThun\\CThunDeathIsClose.wav")
Now every time I cast Shadowfury, the sound clip "Death is close." will play.

In the end, making these macros may be of help to you, but are mostly just for fun. If anyone can think of some really cool things for this, please share them here.

Nice guide. Not too useful but +1rep for being something cool with the /script function.

[moofman]

Thanks for the rep. Hope you got something good out of the guide.

Been using his one for a while. i'm a broke bitch and my account is turned off right now so i can't link, but one i use is the Headless Horseman from the halloween event saying the "come one, come all..." cackle, macroed together with my Army of the Dead

[xerotsuda]

You know, i used to use this to hear the sounds the Ashbringer made when you wielded it, but i never thought of making macros for some of my moves... Ill have to try this, thank you very much, i cant rep today, but i will when i can.

Yeah, I agree with that.

[EXE3]

Actually, the /script function is a repost.

Original: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/ui-mac...nt-ingame.html

Power of the horde:
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Music\\ZoneMusic\\DMF_L70ETC01.mp3")

Lament of the highbourne:
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Music\\GlueScreenMusic\\BCCredits_Lament_of_the_Highborne. mp3")

Sorry, no Rep from me.

[moofman]

This isn't exactly a repost. The other one just shows how to play the song. I gave the idea of making macros and I gave the text file.

[Diabloss39]

Most of the boss ones are on Wowhead anyways, but thanks for the spell/macro idea.
+rep

[TBSCLONE]

Ive found a compiled list of these sounds back in the day
i never thought to post about it tho, cuz its pointless
but if any1 is looking for ideas
PM me and ill send you some of my macros

like for ex. i have Whiteman's "Arise My Champion!" when i use rez

and when i use a firespell with a cast time like fireball or ffb, it says "BY FIRE BE PURGED!" by ragnaros

+rep for bringing back the magic

[moofman]

Edit: Wow....didn't notice sorry.

[Erase]

Heres the L70ETC band song.
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Music\\ZoneMusic\\DMF_L70ETC01.mp3")

Hijacked from EXE3's post.

[moofman]

Some good puppy ones.
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KyleTheDog\\KyleTheDog1.wav")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KyleTheDog\\KyleTheDog2.wav")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KyleTheDog\\KyleTheDog3.wav")

Does this work any more? I was playing around with macros last night because I got bored of farming that Dalaran Kitty...

I had a standard WoW macro and a /script and when I selected it I got the little red error message claiming I can't mix standard WoW macros and scripts =S

I dunno, I'll test it when WoW decides to work...

[moofman]

Yeah it all works.
