Original Addon: GladiatorlosSA This addon has been updated from Legion and beyond with permission from zuhligan of the previous project.
PLEASE UNINSTALL THE ORIGINAL GLADIATORLOSSA ADDON. GSA2 IS A SEPARATE ADDON, NOT AN EXTENSION. YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS IF YOU RUN BOTH.
Introduction
GladiatorlosSA is an addon created for the purpose of announcing the usage of crucial abilities cast by your opponents. No longer will you have to strain your ears specifically listening for the subtle swish of a rogue's kick, nor will you be oblivious to invisible abilities such as a monk's Revival. While tracking ability cooldowns is beyond the scope of this addon, you can stay fully informed about the events that are occurring right now to allow for quick reactionary play. Some incredibly powerful cooldowns, such as Incarnation, support alerts for both their application and their expiration!
GSA2 is an unofficial update of the original addon of the same name, updated to support the myriad of class changes that came with Legion, and now beyond! Although many crucial abilities have been added, no doubt more will continue to be added and the existing list further iterated upon as we discover what is important enough to be worth vocalized and as abilities get changed in the patches to come. Given that I have been playing since Vanilla with no signs of quitting, I will keep this addon up-to-date to the best of my ability in the foreseeable future, including into the expansions beyond!
You can reach the options by opening the Interface menu, or you can simply type /gsa. Once you click the "Load Menus" button, a + will appear beside the GladiatorlosSA entry on the addon menu, where you can access the options.
Feature Listing
- Alerts major and sometimes invisible abilities, from Kicks to Ice Blocks and beyond! All abilities can be toggled via the options menu.
- Can call out the class that triggered their PvP trinkets in arenas!
- Generic "Big Heal", "Resurrection", "Dispel", "Purge", and major Crowd Control "success" alerts!
- Alerts "Drinking"! No longer will you be unaware that the healer with terrible mana conservation skills just drank their way to victory!
- Option for alerts to be exclusive to your focus and target! (Off by default)
- Alerts for when you or an ally successfully interrupts an ability!
- Throttle options to prevent the addon from becoming too noisy.
- Easily add custom abilities and sounds!
Localization
GladiatorlosSA2 is primarily designed for enUS. String and voice translations are left to other members of the community. Below is a list of localizations and the version which they were designed for. Out-of-date versions below should still function as normal, but may be missing sounds.
- All known translations are too far out of date to be supported, currently.
Volume Control
By default, GSA2 uses the Master Sound Channel, which very few (if any) default sounds are specifically hooked into. When you adjust the volume of GSA2, you modify the volume of the entire client - your Sound, Dialog, Ambience, and Music sliders will all need to be adjusted accordingly. You may change the sound channel in the options, however note that you are then sharing a channel with other in-game sounds and may not be ideal.
There is a simple way to modify GSA2 sound files themselves, however bear in mind that these changes may be overwritten with every update, depending on your method of updating. If you do this, it is recommended that all future updates are manual to prevent your changes from being reverted, or that you back up the folder. Remember that sounds may be added or replaced in future versions, so you will need to do the process occasionally to keep your voice volume normalized.
Guide to Changing GSA2 Voice Files (Thanks, bluesh34!)
Lower the volume through use of external programs, such as Audacity.
For Audacity:
- Go in File -> 'Edit Chains then click on Add in the bottom left of the window and enter a name for the script. (Example: AmplifyDown)
- Click on Insert in the bottom of the screen and choose Amplify in the list with a double click.
- Click on Edit Parameters then use the vertical/horizontal slider to amplify the dB by Negative (for exemple -5 is 50% less, so don't be loud on it) then click on OK twice to close the Amplify window.
- Click on Insert in the bottom of the screen and choose ExportOgg in the list with a Double Click.
- Click on OK to validate and close the Chains window.
With this script, you can apply it to all of the files, so:
- Go in File -> Apply Chain then select our script (AmplifyDown in my example) then click on Apply to Files....
- Look for the GSA2 voice pack folder (../Interface/AddOns/GladiatorlosSA2/Voice_enUS/.. by default), select all files by pressing Ctrl+A then click Open and the batch script will be applied on all the files within the specified folder.
- You can find your new files in a new folder named Cleaned
- Replace the original files with the newly modified file
My other addons:
Silvershard Map Fix - Fixes the longstanding bug with the Battlefield Map (Shift+M) in Silvershard Mines where the carts would not display their controlling faction correctly.
Camp Twacker - Appends Return to Camp location info in the spell's tooltip for the Vulpera Make Camp and Return to Camp racials!
Please direct all feedback, questions, and comments to this project's Curseforge Page.
- I cant deactivate the sound for "Mend Pet" (Spell ID 136) from Hunter. Its not in the List, and its annoying.
- Also pls give us a sound for the new Trinket "Unchained Gladiator's Shackles"

I fixed both of these on my end a while ago but completely forgot to release it. Will have an update out shortly.

Hi, I just had ultra Lag in Arena, then got 2 LUA errors. Any ideas?

"Script Ran Too Long" is an error that occurs when something the mod(s) tried to do failed to complete the task in a reasonable amount of time (a few ms, if I remember correctly). They can usually be ignored as they shouldn't happen very often.
In this case, speaking from experience, TSM can be extremely problematic in arenas especially if you did a /reload in the opening room. I recommend turning TSM off when doing arenas regardless if you have GSA2 running, as sometimes it seems to want to step out of its lane.
If you are getting this error frequently I might need to take another look, but this looks to be like TSM caused a lockup and made GSA fall behind.
In reply to Teexxii:
Not that I am aware - your best bet would be to disable TSM while doing arenas or ensure that it's not doing anything when you queue in, and don't /reload while you're in an arena (including pregame) if you can help it.
Usually you should be able to run both without issue. I typically do, but I know once in a while TSM has an issue at the worst possible time and will cost me a game. It's pretty rare, but if you happen to be playing on a lower-end machine I imagine the chances for it to act up are higher.
I can't get GSA to announce enemy PVP trinkets in tbc, anyone else have this issue?
In reply to pltom55:
What are the trinkets called in TBC?
In reply to xGrit:
hey :)
i also have this problem GSA dont annouce enemy PvP trinket usually the voice call "trinketed" but she is just quit.
the PvP Trinkets are called "Medallion of the Horde" and "Medallion of the Alliance" every class have a different Trinket
for example the Rogue Trinket for horde have Item ID "item=28240" and the Rogue trinket for the Alliance have the item ID "item=28234"
i tryed to add the trinkets as custom spell but didnt make it work. would be great if you can update GSA2 for TBC
In reply to idontknowma:
EDIT: No longer relevant, check my below reply.
In reply to idontknowma:
Turns out, the PvP trinket spell does not show up in the combat log in any way in TBC from what I was able to test. Because of this, GSA2 is unable to detect and alert PvP trinkets.
I've reported this bug to Blizzard and I recommend everyone else upset about this do so as well. You can do this by hitting the ? in your UI and clicking one of the options that says "Submit Bug/Feedback" or something along those lines. It should be near the middle of the window that pops up.
Let them know that PvP Insignias using spellID 42292 do not properly log anything into the combat log on use.
In reply to xGrit:
How is addons such as Gladdy able to track trinket usage? Does the addon just assume trinket was used if a CC breaks early?
In reply to banjaxed__:
Not sure, I don't use Gladdy or play TBC. I'll take a peek at it to see where it might be able to track this. It's very possible that there are other API calls that could work, I just don't know what they are. GSA at the moment purely runs off of combat log data.
Mend Pet (spell ID: 136 ) is missing from the Cast Success group in the options.lua. I also think the Shaman Night Fae ability, Fae Transfusion, does not announce the spell being cast.
In reply to zIncisions:
Thank you! Fixed Mend Pet for the next version.
Not sure what might be going on with Fae Transfusion. Will take a look but NF shamans are a rarity.
In reply to xGrit:
Nice, thank you! I agree with the rarity of them so if I happen to find one and have some time to test different spell IDs, I'll post. I have tried another ID but didn't have any luck yet.
Hello there may I ask if I can make the addon track my own group CDS instead of enemy players ?? for M+
In reply to megooo:
The addon currently does not support this, sorry. I've had a few requests to do so, so I might add support or make a separate addon to do this in the future. It's not a very high priority for me at the moment, however.
Howdy! We need a bestial wrath sound for BM hunters, at the moment there is just beast within which is a PvP talent, thank you
