I get a lot of questions on how to create A sound for Maelstrom Weapon Stacks. In my opinion it is a nice helper in norder to not have to watch buffbars all the time and get full focus on the encounter.

At first I chose a fast mp3 sound that I will definitely not ever hear ingame and it will thus be easy to differ from other sounds. I created a folder named “Audio” inside the “InterfaceAddons” Folder. For example on my pc the full path is: “C:GamesWorld of WarcraftInterfaceAddOnsAudio” and the file name “laser.mp3″

There are lots of files to choose, but I think Soundbible.com has a suitable Laser or Laser Blaster sound.

It is quite easy to add a sound like that to SCTScrolling Combat Text – by creating a custom Event. Just open the options menu, select SCT Custom Event, create “New Event”.

sct-sound_step_01

In the next Window enter the Values below:

  • Name: Maelstrom Gain
  • Event Type: Aura Gains
  • Display: *1
  • Target: Player
  • Search: Maelstrom Weapon
  • Wave Sound: InterfaceAddOnsAudiolaser.mp3
    the location is relative to your WoW Folder
  • Aura Count: 5
  • Make Critical

and then “Save Event”

This is all, your sound should now be working, have fun! An example YouTube Video is here:

    sorrie i can’t find it. do u mind directing me to the link? so i can download from there? thanks

    Well, I don’t have the rights on Star Wars Sounds and hosting it would bring legal issues. You can take any short .mp3 or .wav file as sound, just be sure to change the name or ending of the file in the SCT configuration. The Laser was just an example sound.

    Soundbible.com has a suitable Laser or Laser Blaster sound.

    I have uplaoded my SCT Profile here.

    You should be able to put that into your SavedVariables Folder (after you completely exited the game!!):

    World of WarcraftWTFAccountAccountNameSavedVariables and replace the sct.lua there. Not sure if you need to copy the profile from myrddin – ravencrest or if the custom event is loaded when the game starts.

    You will lose your own SCT customization doing this! Always do a backup of your files, first!
