DeathChime

"Ding dong, someone's dead."

DeathChime plays a sound every time a group or raid member dies. Simple, configurable, and oddly satisfying.

Features

• Automatic death detection: polls every second and reacts the moment a player dies, whether you are alive or dead yourself
• Multiple sounds: choose the sound that plays from the built-in list, or enable Random mode to let fate decide
• Volume control: independent volume slider so DeathChime never drowns out your game audio
• Configurable cooldown: set a minimum delay between sounds (0–10 s). If ten people die simultaneously, you hear one sound, not ten
• Activation modes; activate only in raids, in any group, or always (including solo and dungeons)
• Clean settings panel: all options accessible via ESC → Settings → AddOns → DeathChime or by typing /dc
• Addon presence check: use /dccheck in a raid to see who else has DeathChime installed
• Remote sound trigger: use /dcplay to broadcast a sound to the whole raid (all players with the addon installed will hear it)

Settings panel

Open with /dc or through the in-game AddOns settings.

Slash commands

Adding your own sounds

1. Drop your .ogg file into Interface/AddOns/DeathChime/sounds/.
2. Open DeathChime.lua and add a new entry to the SOUNDS table at the top of the file:

{ label = "My Sound", file = "Interface\\AddOns\\DeathChime\\sounds\\mysound.ogg" },

1. Reload your UI (/reload). The new sound will appear in the dropdown.
