Description
RPVox gives your character a voice.
It speaks for you as you play. When you cast a spell, drop below a quarter
health, die, come back, land a killing blow, eat, drink, fish, mine, skin,
mount up, hand in a quest or find somewhere you have never been, it may say
something in your character's voice. You control how often. It does the rest.
Lines appear as speech bubbles above your character on the screens of everyone
nearby running RPVox -- see below, this one has a requirement.
Built for Burning Crusade Classic (2.5.x).
WHO CAN HEAR IT
RPVox is heard only by players standing near you who also run RPVox. The range
is the same as /say, but nothing is ever sent to public chat -- you cannot spam
strangers with it, and strangers cannot read your character either. Everyone
you want to roleplay with needs the addon.
Lines arrive tagged [RP] and coloured cyan, so nobody confuses them with
something you typed yourself.
SPEECH BUBBLES OVER CHARACTERS
Your lines float above your character on the screens of other RPVox users,
following you as you move. Theirs appear above them the same way.
This needs friendly nameplates turned ON.
Without it, bubbles still work: they stack in the corner of the screen with the
speaker's name on them.
GROUP CONTENT
In a raid group, or inside a raid, RPVox says nothing at all until you leave.
In a five-man dungeon the chance is capped at 1% however high you set it.
WHAT IT COVERS
- Combat. Seven moments: a spell hits, crits or
misses, a swing, a heal, a buff, and something held down.
- Reactions. Low health, death, resurrection, killing blow, entering and
leaving combat, being interrupted, levelling, falling, drowning, and noticing
your gear is in pieces.
- Everyday life. Eating, drinking, fishing, mining, herbalism, skinning,
mounting, quests, discovering an area, and ten crafting professions.
- Moods. Switch mood and the same character speaks differently. Grim, weary,
serious and happy are not four settings; they are four versions of the same
person on four different days. You can create and edit your own moods as you see fit.
- Profiles. One per character, each with its own class, mood, lines and
frequency.
WRITTEN, NOT GENERATED
Nearly nine thousand hand written lines, and every class has its own character:
- Priest -- a Forsaken shadow priest. Dry, cold, unimpressed, still angry about
having died. Four moods.
- Mage -- an arcanist. Precise, superior, treats combat as applied theory and
people as material.
- Hunter -- a Sin'dorei noblewoman who treats a battlefield as a badly
organised court. Offended by dust, blood and bad manners, in that order.
- Druid -- a Kaldorei only half returned from the Emerald Dream, speaking
slightly out of step with the present and unsure which war this is.
- Rogue -- a guild-trained professional who regards killing as skilled trade
work. Rates, tools, standards, and no cruelty whatsoever.
- Warlock -- a contract lawyer who happens to deal in souls. Terms, clauses and
arrears, and demons who are simply difficult staff.
- Paladin -- a Blood Knight who takes the Light by force and resents needing
it. He does not pray and he will not kneel.
- Shaman -- an old orc who does not command the elements so much as negotiate
with them, and they are frequently in a mood.
- Warrior -- a single voice, plainly spoken.
And alternative voices for the same classes, chosen from the same list:
- Priest-Dirge -- speaks only in verse, and only ever grimly. Every line a
self-contained rhyming couplet.
- Priest-Rhyming -- never once breaks metre. Hymnal couplets for Holy, manic
doggerel for Shadow.
- Mage-Lyrics, Priest-Lyrics, Mage-Animated -- every line bends a well-known
rock, hip hop or R&B hook into what you just did.
- Hunter-ValleyGirl -- Feign Death is "I'm literally dead. Like. Literally
dead."
- Warrior-Barbarian -- written the way Arnold would say it.
MAKE IT YOURS
The stock lines are a starting point, but you can make them into your own. Open the settings window,
clear any trigger, and write your own. The moment you type, that trigger is yours and no update will ever overwrite it. Neither will your frequency settings.
