Arena Commentator

BGSoundAlerts also features a fantastic arena commentator. The Arena Alerts will announce enemy team members, inside arenas, as they are detected and will also call our any spells being cast during the battle. Never miss another polymorph from that pesky mage!

Extras

The mod will tell you who (Alliance/Horde) and what happened. In Warsong Gulch the mod will also tell you the scores (spoken as well) when 'The flags are returned to their bases' and you will get a regular score update in Arathi Basin and in the Eye of the Storm.

BGSoundAlerts contains an easy to use communication list to make it easier to request for aid and give orders to your teams with the touch of a button. Just bind a keybinding to the BGSoundAlerts comm-lists and you're ready to use them. (Setting a keybinding to the main comm-list is enough since that allows you to access the other comm-lists). Note: You will need to be in a battleground to open a comm-list.

It'll also play Victory/Defeat sounds in the end according to your score.

If there is anyone in the guild or battleground you are in that has an updated version of BGSoundAlerts, you will be notified that a new update is available here.

Also, anytime you receive an 'Inc' message (from your group), BGSoundAlerts will play a sound telling you of the incoming attack with the node destination or number. If your group sends a message containing any of the bosses health (eg. 'Drek at 42'), BGSoundAlerts will play a sound telling you the health of that boss out loud. Both these options can be disabled using the /bgsalerts options menu and unchecking 'Incoming Sounds'

Successive killing blows which are 10 seconds apart will play a sound according to how many killing blows you've made in succession (eg. 'Double Kill', 'Multi Kill', etc.).

How to install

You install BGSoundAlerts the same way you install any other addon. Just click the download button below to download the .ZIP files and extract them to Your WoW DirectoryInterfaceAddOns The .ZIP file will create the BGSoundAlerts and BGAlerts folders itself.

Just start up the game and you'll get the best ever experience in Battlegrounds. If you want, you might want to take a look at the /bgsalerts options panel to specify which sounds you would like to hear!

If you want to use the comm-lists please set a keybinding to at least the Main Comm-List.

Custom Sound Packs

You can also select which sounds you hear and change to another custom sound pack using the /bgsalerts option to open the options panel.

Note: You can change the sound files in the mods directory to other .wav sounds by pasting your sound in the BGSoundAlerts folder and renaming it to the appropriate sound.

Other Information

The patch notes are available to see in-game by opening the /bgsalerts options panel and clicking patch notes.

This addon goes very well with my other mod, [link='http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1899']BGTextAlerts[/link], which pops-up fading text over your character's head for the events mentioned above.

The current BGSoundAlerts Version is: BGSoundAlerts 2.4

Have fun and see you on the European Aggramar Server!
