1. INTRODUCTION

The Amazing OOW Sound Effect addon by Larenon / Leirren / Pio

This addon is a modified version of a really old addon which was called LeeroyHillCatsPower (no longer available as the addon site where it was hosted no longer exists).

The main purpose of this addon is to summon into your own raids the tactical instructions of the immortal raid leader, Dives of the guild Wipe Club. Besides that, there are also other sound effects in the addon too, which might serve well to spice up an otherwise dull raid.

Please note, that this revival of the original addon was started as an internal, guild only project for the hungarian guild Order of Watchers on Ragnaros-EU. Therefore many of the effects are in hungarian and some of them are internal guild jokes only meaningful for members of our guild. Soon (tm) when I'm going to implement a graphical options window, you'll be able to filter these hungarian / Order of Watchers effects from the addon.

2. USAGE

The simplest way to use the addon is to make a macro with the "/lhcf" command (without the quotes of course). Put that macro into an action bar. When you click it, a little window comes up with red buttons, where you can click on any effect you like. This window can be hidden by pressing the "ESC" button, clicking on the close button in the top right corner or by typing the /lhcf command into your chat. The window can also be moved anywhere on your screen by pressing and holding the left mouse button. You can make macros for your favorite sound effects too, and put those macros also on an action bar for easy reach. Don't be afraid to throw out your rarely used abilities (taunt, rejuvenation, arcane blast, etc) to make room for sound effect macros. :-) The real pro guys playing WOW from under DOS of course don't use a GUI, buttons or macros, they are hardcore enough to type the macro commands directly into the command line.

In the addon window, you can favorite or hate any sound effect by right clicking on its button and choosing from the dropdown menu. Once an effect is hated its button will turn grey and you'll never hear it again. If it's favorited then a button for that effect will also appear on the "fav" tab of the addon window. To cancel a hate or a favorite, just right click on the effect's button again and click on the favorite or hate option again in the dropdown menu.

The sound effects made by the addon will be heard by everyone near you, who has this addon installed. Spread the word!

DISCLAIMER

Of course as with any other good things, if you are using the sound effects excessively (also called: spamming), then after some time they might cease to be funny, become irritating and that might even result in someone - horribile dictu - uninstalling the addon. Therefore, please try to keep it under control! This is especially true during raids, where your focused attention is required during bosskils. Therefore please refrain from using the addon during boss kill attempts, and only fire up a sound effect or two if it's really needed for a good laugh's sake. :-)

The authors of the addon (Larenon <Order of Watchers> / Ragnaros-EU, Leirren <Order of Watchers> / Ragnaros-EU and Pio <Order of Watchers> / Ragnaros-EU) assume no responsibility whatsoever for any unpleasantries resulting from the use of the addon including but not limited to: receiving fifty DKP minus for excessive spamming, being kicked out of a raid or your guild, etc). But they would very much like to hear your story if something like that happens to you. :-))

It might be good to know where the effects are coming from (some of the links might not work anymore; hungarian sound effects marked as HUN):
