Data Broker Volume Control

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

The main goal of this addon is to provide a Data Broker icon/text to set the game volume, but you can use it in many other ways.

Usage

With a Data Broker display
With the icon on the minimap
With the command line

Icon

Left-Click: Mute sound
Right-Click: Display the sliders menu
Shift+Right-Click: Display the options menu

Options menu

Blizlike mute
Show/Hide the minimap icon
Queued volume boost
No tooltip mode

Close the menu

What is blizlike mute? Default mute behavior do not switch off music, with this disabled it will.

When using a DataBroker display, using the mouse wheel on the icon change the master volume value.

Queued volume boost will set master volume to 100%, unmute and enable background sounds when a random dungeon/raid/scenario group is ready, and return all options to previous state when entering the dungeon/raid/scenario.

No tooltip mode will display the sliders menu when hovering the icon, and the options menu will display on right click.

Command line

Commands: "/bv", "/brokervolume" (They do the same thing)

/bv: Display commands help.
/bv show: Show the minimap icon
/bv <master|effects|music|ambience> <0-100>, will set the volume for the given category.

Notes

If you find an error or have a suggestion please use the tickets page on WowAce, you can also help with localization.

I added

A.icon:IconCallback(nil, "BrokerVolumeIcon", "icon", A.ldb.icon)

on line 1000, pushing the 'end' on that line to 1001. This fixes the minimap button icon to actually change texture when muted/unmuted etc.

Fixes for Dragonflight pre-patch

1) Fix dropdown menu:

Find line 358 in VolumeSliders.lua:

f.close:SetHighlightTexture("Interface\\QuestFrame\\UI-QuestTitleHighlight", ADD);

replace ADD by "ADD" (with quotes)

2) Fix the minimap button icon to actually change texture when muted/unmuted:

See comment above

Thanks! One remaining issue:

When I connect or disconnect my USB DAC I get this error:

I've update the code with the changes mentioned by Dakhran. A pull request is pending approval from the author, so he can release an updated version of this.

Meanwhile, you can download a working version here: https://github.com/KayopsGaming/broker-volume-releases/raw/main/Broker_Volume-1.9.0.zip

Getting the following error message in pre-patch:

Interface\AddOns\Broker_Volume\VolumeSliders.lua:25: attempt to call method 'SetBackdrop' (a nil value)

This is the absolute best volume addon out there...pretty please update for Shadowlands =[

I did a fix to my personal copy that seems to work. Change line 21 in VolumeSliders.lua to this (blue is new):

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "BrokerVolumeSlidersFrame", UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");

EDIT: that gets the sliders working, but I also had to change every instance of ActionStatus_DisplayMessage to ActionStatus:DisplayMessage, changing the underline to a colon.

In reply to Dakhran:

did you change the ActionStatus_DisplayMessage in the same LUA file? I can't seem to find any instances of that

Also, I changed that line of the LUA and now i get

Interface\AddOns\Broker_Volume\Core.lua:1305: attempt to call method 'CreateSlidersFrame' (a nil value)

:\

Oh, sorry, the ActionStatus_DisplayMessage was in Core.lua, not VolumeSliders.lua.

Also, just to check, on my copy (which is based on the 1.7.5 release version), lines 20-23 of the updated VolumeSliders.lua should be:

function A:CreateSlidersFrame() local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "BrokerVolumeSlidersFrame", UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate"); f:SetFrameStrata("DIALOG"); f:SetSize(200, 305);

Thanks! Wasn't sure how to fix broken calls to ActionStatus_DisplayMessage(). You saved me a lot of time. :)

I posted this on WowAce, but I'll also post here because I'm not sure which site you check the most. <3

It would be great if there was a "/bv on" and "/bv off" commands. Or enable/disable, or mute/unmute (although the latter might get confused with the Blizlike mute).
Reason for this is that sometimes I need to be able to quickly mute or unmute the sound. (I've hidden the mini-map button.)

Another GREAT thing would be sets you could save, like profiles. I like to have my sound a certain way for fishing, another way for raiding, another way for outdoor combat, etc etc. And then the ability to toggle them with commands. (For example: /bv profile [profile-name-here]). I could make macros for each set, but that's just more clutter for my spell bars. :(

Thank you for what you've done this far. I've been wanting something like this for a while now. I'm so glad I've found this!

This would be a great addon if it didn't enable background music every time the main volume was changed. I've disabled the music for a reason.

Hello,

Is it possible to implement a general volume control just by wheel mouse over the sound icon ?

thank you very much for your works
