ZeldaLoot Classic

Based on ZeldaLoot Extended (abandoned now) which was based on the original ZeldaLoot from Rickyk (abandoned), I used to love this addon so I decided to create a WoW Classic version. It will play zelda sounds when you loot an uncommon (green) or better item, may be useful after raid sessions to know if you have won or just as a sound enhancement. I do plan to upgrade the addon further.

New features summary

Version Support

We support every live client: Retail (Midnight), World of Warcraft: Forever, Mists of Pandaria Classic, Cataclysm Classic, Wrath of the Lich King Classic and Titan Reforged, The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary, and Classic Era (including Hardcore and Season of Discovery).

Sounds

4 new sounds for different item qualities, from uncommon (green) to legendary (orange). Note inherited objects (linked to account) can play sound when received too (same as for legendaries items). Sounds provided by: Darth Killer, from Zelda Ocarina of Time (original from games), and Chrisgess, from Zelda Ocarina of Time Orchestrated album www.zreomusic.com, even higher sound quality!

The audio plays on the SFX audio channel.

Interface

Configure which sounds you want and when: loot from enemies, received (letterbox, seller, etc), crafted (professions and some special items like Eternal Water). Settings will be saved between sessions for all your characters. Type /zeldaloot or /zl for the settings menu.

Localization

English, French, German, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese are supported. Loot detection uses the game's own text, so sounds work in every language; the translations only cover the settings panel, tooltips and chat messages.

Translations welcome! If you're a native speaker and spot a wording that's awkward or wrong, or a line that's still in English, please help improve it:

• Edit your language's file in the Locale folder (e.g. ZL_deDE.lua) and open a pull request, or
• Open an issue with the corrected text, or leave a comment on CurseForge.

If you play in a language that isn't listed, or sounds aren't playing for you in your language, please let me know.

Changes

Changes in 2.4.0

• Added support for World of Warcraft: Forever
• Updated for Midnight (Retail 12.1.0)

• Updated for Classic Era (1.15.9)
• Updated for Wrath of the Lich King Titan Reforged
• Fixed no sound playing for any loot on Retail since 11.1.5, which changed how item links mark their quality (also needed for WoW Forever)
• Fixed heirlooms not being detected on Retail; artifacts now play the legendary (orange) sound
• Fixed a Lua error on Midnight when looting during boss encounters, Mythic+ and PvP, where loot messages are hidden from addons; items you take from the loot window still play their sound there (items that go straight to your bags stay silent while messages are hidden)
• Bonus-roll loot plays its sound again
• Turning off "Received" now silences received items on French, Spanish and Portuguese clients even with "Crafted" on (they were being mistaken for crafted items)
• Added an adjustable volume setting (0-100%) with a slider in the config panel; it temporarily scales the chosen audio channel while a sound plays, then restores it without overriding any volume change you make in the meantime
• Loot detection now uses Blizzard's own localized strings, so it works in every language (including Korean and Russian grammar forms) instead of only English clients, and other players' loot no longer triggers your sounds on Korean clients
• The config panel's dropdowns are only built while the panel is open, avoiding interference with Blizzard's own dropdowns
• /zl opens the ZeldaLoot settings page again instead of the game's Controls page
• /zl reset now refreshes the config panel immediately if it is open
• Fixed /zl dump throwing a Lua error
• Sound selection is now clamped to what the chosen sound set actually contains (e.g. OOT has 4 sounds)
