About this addon
What it does
The add-on hooks to Northern Sky Raid Tools Text-to-Speech functionality and replaces the TTS with static .ogg file playback. This eliminates the problem of the crashing WoWVoiceProxy.exe process, as the TTS is completely replaced by the internal game .ogg sound file playback or no sound playback at all.
Why would I want this?If you are having issues with WoWVoiceProxy.exe process blowing up randomly, this is a band-aid for it. Also, if you dislike the built-in voice of TTS, this is one of the ways to replace that. :)
What do I need?Needless to say, this add-on requires that you have Northern Sky Raid Tools (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/northern-sky-raid-tools) installed, as it's extending/overriding its functionality.
OptionsThe addon is configured by Addon Options panel (ESC->Options->Addons) within it's own panel. Currently supported options:
- Posibility to show/hide missing media messages
- Play extra sound on ready check
- Play extra sound when QoL item drop in a raid (feast, cauldron, repair bot, etc.)
- Define ignored TTS words
- Define custom abbreviations
The add-on aims to be easily expanded with more words – see GitHub instructions on how to do this. Or just request add-on extension via CurseForge comment (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/better-northern-sky-tts/comments) or GitHub issue (https://github.com/bigos81/BetterNSTTS/issues).
