Boing

1.9k Downloads

Boing* is modeled after JumpingSound which plays a sound whenever you jump. Unfortunately JumpSound would play the sound even when you weren't jumping, e.g. Swimming, flying, falling. I therefore set out to correct those problems and extended Boing to record how many times you've jumped per character, realm, and account.

I approached Suitic to see if we could update his project or start a new one. He elected to give me permission to upload the addon as a new project. The JumpingSound that Boing uses is originally from his addon.

Features

  • Plays a sound whenever you jump
  • Keeps track of how many jumps you've done per character, realm, and account.
  • LibDataBroker-1.1 integration - Shows current session jumps with the ability to view all stats in the tooltip.

Planned Features

  • Reset jumps per character, realm, account
  • Ability to pick sound from the sound folder
  • Full Configuration Menu.

Versioning

The version for Boing is going to look a bit weird. Taking a page out of another Addon Author's book, The version will be a combination of the wow version this addon was tested under as well as the addon's version. It will look a little something like this:

  • v6.3.2-1.2

Which roughly translates into the following:

  • WoW Verison: 6.3.2
  • Boing Version: 1.2

I also follow the following version standard for my version number, <Major>.<Minor>.<Hotfix> where:

  • Major means there was an API Breaking major change
  • Minor means there was a backwards compatible change
  • Hotfix is a patch to fix a critical issue that can not wait for a release build.

*Not related to Boing which is a combat addon that has been abandoned.
