Works very well, very useful addon for tanks and healers.
Some random ideas:
1. Profile based settings. That way I can set my tank to one, healer to another (although they seem to always come at the same time, not sure if that will ever change) and turn it off automatically for dps (or set dps on, but I think we'll never see a call to arms dps).
2. Setting where if you have been idle or have sound off then it puts a notifier on your screen and you can snooze it for some amount of time.
3. Possibly a setting for autoqueue. As soon as the Call to Arms happens, it queues you (not sure if this is possible or not).
Any chance of getting a visual notification on screen? When i have my music on I don't hear any of those alerts as they are not very loud. Other than that, the addon does exactly what it says. Thanks :)
I would love to see this! Amazing addon, but sometimes I dont hear the sound go off. Would it be the possible for a centered screen popup, maybe with a join queue or dismiss button?
You can't just put the sound in a directory. It needs to be bundled with an addon and registered with LibSharedMedia. Unfortunately I don't know of any easy way for end-users to do this.
I'm trying to work out what directory to put sounds in to make them show in LFG CtAB i have Titan bar installed and its not showing any sounds, but i have a good Wav file i would like to use with it, Is this possible and if so where do i put the file please.
I just committed a speculative fix for 4.3. If you update to the Alpha version in Curse client it should work. I'll continue testing, and hopefully update the TOC and tag tomorrow.
Looks like you're right. They changed the return values of GetLFGDungeonInfo() and so I'm filtering out items that I shouldn't (under the belief that they don't match your expansion set).
I'm assuming the addon just plain works in 4.3, if you load out of date addons, but I haven't had a chance yet to verify yet (since I haven't seen a call to arms yet).
It doesn't seem to be working for me, unfortunately - there are CTAs for both tanks and healers in heroics and Hour of Twilight heroics, and the broker shows that none are available. It worked fine prior to the patch.
Just downloaded 1.0, works fine on my paladin/warrior/dk (basically the ones able to queue as tanks). It constantly beeps for Tank CTA on my priest/rogue/hunter/shaman, even though the tank role is unchecked.
What version of LFG Call to Arms Broker were you using? v0.9.4 made all those checkboxes enabled, even if you couldn't use the particular role, and that was released back in July.
v1.0 does not let us do that - would be a nice option though, so I get healer CTA notifications when I'm on another alt.
I've double- and triple-checked the code, and I play 6 different classes including ones not capable of tanking. My girlfriend also uses the addon and assures me the sound works properly on her healer. If you have a role un-checked, you absolutely will not get sound notifications relating to that role. If you're getting sounds while only having the healer role checked, then either the healer role became unavailable and then available again, or you're getting sounds from another addon and you only think it's coming from this one.
To put it simply, if you don't see a role icon in the LDB display (not the tooltip), then it couldn't have possibly made a sound for that role.
As for un-checking roles, you're absolutely right. I was in error when I claimed 0.9.4 fixed this. I have no idea why I thought that at the time. In fact, 1.0 doesn't fix this either. This was fixed back in July, but it was fixed 9 days after I released 1.0. I'm sorry for the confusion, I will release a v1.0.1 to fix this.
Exatly what I was looking after with one exception: The troll instances bore me to tears, and they ALWAYS need tanks on my server. I'm to lazy to make config options, but here's a hardcoded patch if someone has the same preference:
local id, name = GetLFGRandomDungeonInfo(i)
- if isRandomDungeonDisplayable(id) then
+ if name ~= "Random Rise of the Zandalari Heroic" and isRandomDungeonDisplayable(id) then
local dungeonInfo = {}
Works fine for both my druids, my priest is lit up on the mini map icon all the time regardless of what options are checked. Clearly something is not working properly.

Posted Jan 9, 2012Sorry for slow reply to this I've been on a UK tour visiting relatives over the festive season :)
I've got titan bar installed but its not showing any sound files for LFG/CTABroker would it be difficult to allow users to add their own sound files ?
I would love to use a custom sound from a site like http://soundjax.com/alarm-1.html that would be impossible to miss :)

Posted Dec 26, 2011Some sort of message would be best I think. If you could get it to come up in the middle of the screen like a raid warning or somthing?

Posted Dec 3, 2011I randomly saw a CTA on my Pally and the addon said none were available! Can send a screen if needed.
Seems to trigger a CTA on both "random cata heroic" and "random hour of twilight heroic" at the same time so far.
