Description
This AddOn shows an image and plays a sound when you get a killing blow. When in a battleground, only killing blows on players are recorded; but all killing blows are recorded outside of battlegrounds.
You can configure the AddOn by editing the options at the top of core.lua in a text editor. This lets you enable/disable the printing of your current KB total to the chat frame and choose whether the AddOn works everywhere or only in BGs.
You can also change the texture and the sound. The AddOn includes three textures: an Alliance crest, a Horde crest and a picture of the Horde/Alliance battleground flags.
The KB total is reset whenever you go through a loading screen (e.g. when you enter/leave a battleground).
Source Code
You can view the AddOn's source code on GitHub.

Thanks OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI for the original concept and the art/sound design.
Thanks to whitefreli for contributing the KillingBlow_HordeSword texture.
Thanks to nightcracker for ncKillingBlow, which showed me which event fires for killing blows.
Any chance we can get a classic wow version of this????
How do I get this to work only in PvP situations, including WPvP? I set "local PVP_ONLY" to false but now its triggering on NPC kills. I just want it to trigger on player killing blows regardless of location. Is there any way to do this?
In reply to ByucknahTheRed:
In reply to Choonster:
You should really add some options (at the very least slash commands) to change the configurable options like only in battlegrounds.
Also, why have world pvp disabled by default? Anyone who wants this would probably not mind it out in the wild.
I probably won't be adding any major features like in-game configuration, I'm mostly just keeping this updated.
World PvP should already be enabled by default (i.e. PVP_ONLY set to false). Was this not the case for you?
I've just released version 1.18 for WoW 7.0.
What is the command to change the voice?
There's only one killing blow sound included in the AddOn.
If you want to add your own, put it somewhere in your WoW directory and change the SOUND_PATH option in core.lua to point to it. This option is the path of the sound relative to the root WoW directory (the one with Wow.exe in it), using double backslashes as directory separators.
core.lua can be opened in any text editor (e.g. Notepad), but using one with syntax highlighting (e.g. one of these) will make it easier to read.
I know this is still working, but listed as an "out of date" module. Any chance of issuing an update?
Thanks!
I've just released version 1.16, which is marked as 6.2-compatible.
is it hard to create an options window for addons like this? just curious... as i would love to stay ingame while changing an testing stuff.
It's possible, but it's a bit of a pain.
I may do it at some point, but it's not a high priority at the moment.
hi, is it possible to remove the image in the middle, when you kill someone?
it's really blocking the view when you're fighting 2 people at the same time.
Set ALLIANCE_TEXTURE_PATH and HORDE_TEXTURE_PATH to "" (two quotation marks, i.e. an empty string) at the top of core.lua.
I've made a new one, works great!

Cool. If you want me to add it to the AddOn, just post the texture here.
I tried several times to make my own image for the one shown, i added it to the list in core.lua and used Gimp to convert file to a TGA not sure what im doing wrong i want to use the fatality symbol like this one http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/mkwikia/images/8/89/Fatality.png/revision/20120127115303
Any advice or help would be awesome
Thanks in Advance
Create the WoW\Interface\AddOns\KillingBlowImage directory and put your TGA in it. Then change the ALLIANCE_TEXTURE_PATH or HORDE_TEXTURE_PATH variables to match it.
If your image is WoW\Interface\AddOns\KillingBlowImage\Fatality.tga, you can set it as the Alliance texture by chaning this:
local ALLIANCE_TEXTURE_PATH = "Interface\\AddOns\\KillingBlow_Enhanced\\KillingBlow_Alliance"
To this:
local ALLIANCE_TEXTURE_PATH = "Interface\\AddOns\\KillingBlowImage\\Fatality"
Still no luck :( just a green square. I'll just stick with the skull one for now till I figure it out
