Objective Announcer

Objective Announcer 6.2.3

Changed:

• Updated TOC for WoW patch 6.2.3

Fixed:

• The addon should now load properly for everyone. I had royally screwed up embeds in previous versions, which caused problems for people that didn't have those libraries as part of any other addon.
• Fixed default objective/quest completion sounds. Blizzard has changed them from .wav to .ogg.

Objective Announcer 6.1.0

Changed:

• Updated TOC for 6.1.0. No further changes at this time.

Objective Announcer 6.0.3f

New:

• Announce quest reward chosen.

Fixed:

• Completed progress bar quests should now play quest completion sounds.

Objective Announcer 6.0.3e

Restart World of Warcraft after installing this version.

New:

• Full localization support added.

Changed:

• Minor rearrangements in the configuration menu.

Fixed:

• Another attempt at fixing progress bar not announcing completion. This time it works... (hopefully)
• Experience announcements will no longer announce if you're maximum level and/or don't receive any experience from a quest.
• Fixed incorrect text for Auto-Accept Escort/Event Quests when using slash command.

Objective Announcer 6.0.3d

Out-of-Range Feature Changes Require All Party Members To Update Objective Announcer

New:

• Announce how much experience was received from a quest turn in.

Fixed:

• Fixed slash command for enable/disable quest turn-in.
• Fix for situations where a progress bar quest would not announce quest completion with "Both Quests and Objectives" mode.

Objective Announcer 6.0.3c

Fixed:

• Fix quest link retrieval in OOR function when a Bonus Objective is not in log.
• Fix some indexing nil fields errors caused by Bonus Objectives continuing to update after they've been completed.

Objective Announcer 6.0.3b

Fixed:

• Everything blew up because of an extra comma!

Objective Announcer 6.0.3a

Out-of-Range Feature Changes Require All Party Members To Update Objective Announcer Updating to this version will require restarting WoW

New:

• Simple LibDataBroker button to open configuration. (More Broker features to come in the future!)
• Announce upon entering a Bonus Objective area.
• Announce every 5 - 50% of completion for progress bar bonus objectives. Only functional when using announce mode: "Both Quests and Objectives". Thanks to budwheizzah for this one!
  • "Objective Progress" and "Progress & Completed Quests" modes announce every time you advance the progress bar.
• Added back the "Quest Tag" additional information type.
• OOR: Support for Bonus Objectives.

Changed:

• Options Menu: Broker button and /oa now open a separate frame for Objective Announcer configuration.
• Options Menu: General options are now in categories that display one at a time. The options menu should appear less overwhelming.
• Architecture: Moved configuration and slash command handling to a separate file.

Fixed:

• OOR: Now properly supports Bonus Objectives.
• "/oa fail" would toggle "Quest Accept" instead of "Quest Fail"
• Architecture: Addon variables and functions should now be fully local.

Known Issues:

• OOR: Rapidly doing tasks for bonus objectives with a progress bar will cause incorrect announcements about missing credit. This issue is unique to progress bar quests. Blizzard "bundles" multiple progressions for regular quests (ie, if you kill 4 quest mobs in less than a second, they all get reported at once), but not for progress bar quests. I need to figure out how to do my own throttling.

Objective Announcer 6.0.3

New:

• Out-of-Range Alerts: Announce when a party or raid member advances a kill quest out of your range.
  • Requires party members to have Objective Announcer v6.0.3+
  • Objectives must have "killed" or "slain" in their description. I'm hoping to improve this in the future.

Changed:

• Options menu: In Extra Information section: Changed "Is a daily" to "Frequency"
• Options menu: In Extra Information section: Changed "Quest Type" to "Suggested Group"

Fixed:

• Fixed some extra info types that were affected by changes to GetQuestLogTitle() in WoW 6.0.2
• Options Menu: In sound options, fixed Quest Accept heading.
• Fixed bug where quest failure sounds would not play unless completion sounds were also enabled.

Objective Announcer 6.0.2

Compatible with WoW Patch 6.0.2.

Change to sound files in 6.0: It seems that MP3-format sound files will no longer play in WoW. If you had any custom sound files in MP3 format, convert them to OGG and make the necessary updates to SharedMedia_MyMedia

New:

• AddonLoader support.
• Added ability to play sounds when accepting and/or failing a quest. Just as with quest/objective completion sounds, they only play if the relevant announcement type ("Accept/Fail a Quest") is enabled. Some sounds from Blizzard's online collectible card game, Hearthstone, are included.

Changed:

• Options menu: Renamed "Quest Givers" section to "Quest Start/End"
• Options menu: Moved "Auto-Complete" and "Quest Failure" options to "Quest Start/End" section
• Updated libraries
• Removed an extra library that is not being used (...yet.)

Fixed:

• Options menu: Fixed text for Auto-complete.

Objective Announcer 5.4.7

Compatible with WoW Patch 5.4.7. Changes from 5.4.2b beta are included in this release.

New:

• Added slash commands for most Objective Announcer settings. This allows settings to be changed with macros. "/oa help" or "/obj help" brings up the list of commands.

Changed:

• Auto-accept Escort/Event Quest messages now show class color of starter.
• Enabling Auto-complete announcements will also cause the turn-in dialog window to automatically appear.

Fixed:

• Failed quest announcements would report more than once.

Objective Announcer 5.4.2b Beta 1

New:

• "Additional information" can now be individually selected. Choose between displaying "Quest Type," "Quest Level," and "Is a Daily" as you wish.
• LibSink support allows for routing self messages to locations other than the chat log. You can choose to send messages through Blizzard's scrolling combat text, Mik's Scrolling Combat Text, Big Wigs and more.
  • Select your output in the new "Self Output" tab at the top of the Objective Announcer configuration menu.
• Announce when a completed quest has auto-complete and can be turned in remotely.
• Announce failed quests. (There aren't many failable quests in WoW these days, so feature is still untested. This is why 5.4.2b is a beta release for the time being.)

Changed:

• New handler for announcement creation to better support individual selection of additional information.

Objective Announcer 5.4.2a

New:

• Two additional announcement types:
  1. "Both Quests and Objectives" will announce upon completing an objective and will also say "QUEST COMPLETE!" when a completed objective also complete the entire quest.
  2. "Progress & Completed Quests" will announce each time a quest objective advances (example: 3/12 Candlegrip Kobolds slain), and will also say "QUEST COMPLETE!" when the completed objective also completes the entire quest.

Changed:

• Announcement types in the options menu renamed.

Fixed:

• A bug that caused OA to always announce quest turn-ins, even when disabled.

Objective Announcer 5.4.2

Update:

• Minor bug fixes.
• Objectives announce as intended again.

Objective Announcer 5.4.0

Updated by Eincrou for Patch 5.4.0 Siege of Orgrimmar.

New:

• Announce to instance chat.
• Announce to say.
• Announce to a chat channel (such as General, Trade, or any custom channel).
• AceDB profiles support.
• Announce each time an objective is advanced.
• Announce when you accept a new quest.
• Announce when you have turned in a quest.
• SharedMedia support for all sounds. Use SharedMedia to have any sound you want play when completing an objective and/or quest!
• Separate sounds for when an objective is completed and for when the whole quest is completed.
• The "Completion Sounds" option enables and disables sounds for both completion types. If you only want sound for only one type, but not the other, select "None" in the dropdown menu for the completion type you want to be silent.
• Automatically accept escort and event quests. Useful when paired with the "Announce Turn In Quest" option for Ring of Blood-style quests.
• The color of self messages can be customized.

Changed:

• Updated libraries
• Pretty-up the options menu.
• Sounds will play when announcing to guild or officer chat.
• The sound files that will play by default.
• CODE STRUCTURE: Message output logic moved to a single function, to more efficiently support the new types of announcements that have been added, and any that may be added in the future.

Fixed:

• "You are not in a party" error when OA attempts to announce to party chat in an instance group. Occurred when the player queued solo for Dungeon Finder.
• Self announcements no longer display if the player has already sent an announcement to a chat channel, avoiding unnecessary double messages in the chat window. There is an option to retain the old functionality and always play a self announcement (if self announcements are enabled, of course).
