Speaker Bee

Formerly known as RP Chat Bubbles

Have you ever imagined what NPCs would say if they could talk back to you? Ever gotten the urge to throw WoW's writing out the window and replace it with your own? Do you love to use Total RP3's NPC Speech system? And wouldn't it be nice if all those chat bubbles came with a player/NPC name? Well have I got the addon for you.

Speaker Bee is primarily a creativity addon for World of Warcraft that allows you to create customizable chat bubbles that you can click and drag around your screen. You can type in your own message and place them above NPCs and it'll almost seem like they're talking back to you. Additionally, this also improves the basic chat bubble UI so it puts the name of the person speaking on top!

Download this addon and start making your own chat bubbles now!

WARNING: Not fully tested with other UI affecting addons (Prat etc).

Features

Gives you the ability to create your own chat bubbles with customizable name and text!
Puts the name of the person talking on top of normal chat bubbles! (But only while you're not in dungeons or raids)
Integration with Total RP3's NPC Chat system! Using the TRP3's NPC Chat system automatically generates a chat bubble for you! (You don't actually need TRP3 to use this addon.)
Hold shift or control while creating a bubble to create one with your/your target's name on it.
Simple and lightweight!
