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I'm assuming the addon just plain works in 4.3, if you load out of date addons, but I haven't had a chance yet to verify yet (since I haven't seen a call to arms yet).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.
I see lots of people saying it doesn't work so i just came here to say it does work for me.
I am running it with titan pannel together with 87 other addons including recount , skada and many others. not a single bug here. Keep up the good work.
So far everything works. The only issue I'm having is that the the notification sound is too "suttle." Maybe if there was a selection to more noticeable sounds such as the one when a Dungeon Finder group has been formed.
The sounds are provided by LibSharedMedia-3.0. It should have a number of sounds provided with it, along with any sounds other addons have chosen to make available to LibSharedMedia. You should be able to pick the sound you like from the LFGCallToArmsBroker preferences.

What type of notification were you thinking? Screen flash? Some sort of message?
Some 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?
I'm on vacation right now, but I'll see what I can do when I get back home.

Seems to be working!

Any 4.3 update in the works?

I 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.
