Presenting: Jingle
Plays a sound and displays a chat notification when a target (player, mob, or NPC) is nearby.



Download from Github repo

(Make sure to get the /data/sounds folder!)

Features
  • Plays only once until the target moves out of range again.

  • Will work using names, IDs, or Hex IDs (great for NM placeholders).

  • Can specify a sound to play for each target.

  • Will play any .wav file you save to the /data/sounds folder.



This started with a joke about needing to find a certain character on our server that bazaars low priced food, and needing an ice cream truck jingle to play when they run by. And then :lightbulb: wait I can make that. We quickly came to realize that this would be fantastic for Sortie, and so I've included some c/p that you can put into the settings file for Sortie stuff. Have fun!

He's a JP on Valefor who has a reputation for bazaaring incredibly cheap food. Like, cheap enough you'd swear he's losing money on it.

Updated to Version 2.1

2.1
  • Added `temp/t` command. Will add a new temporary target to be tracked. Automatically removed when the player zones. Can also be removed like normal with the `remove` command.

  • Adjusted the `add` and `test` commands to remove any extension in the name of the sound file provided by the user. Files must still be in the .wav format in order to work, but now the commands no longer care if an extension is included in the command or not.

  • Removed the `t` shorthand alias from the `test` command, it has been repurposed for the `temp` command.

  • Removed leftover targets list that is no longer used but was still being created in the settings file.



2.0
  • Overhauled how target data is saved. Now saves as a lua table in separate targets.lua file instead of saving as xml data inside the settings file. This approach allows for much easier handling of target names. No need to convert names with spaces and apostrophes to a format that xml can parse, instead saved as a direct string key exactly how it should be spelled.

  • Added `//jin` as a command prefix.

  • Added the ability to add and remove a target using the current cursor target. Simply target something and type `//jin a` to add the current targets name to the Target list, `//jin r` to remove it.

  • Added `flood_delay` option. Determines how much time after a target goes out of range before it can be considered "nearby" again.

  • Adjusted code for checking for nearby targets to be much more efficient, reducing a bunch of redundancies.

  • Default Targets now include:

    • Abject Obdella
    • Aurix
    • Biune Porxie
    • Cachaemic Bhoot
    • Chest
    • Demisang Deleterious
    • Diaphanous Bitzer
    • Esurient Botulus
    • Fetid Ixion
    • Grimslight
    • Gyvewrapped Naraka
    • Haughty Tulittia

Wow this is cool I must have missed this original post during my hiatus.

Can this work with let's say the new ??? In limbus?

Can a visual be added? If I don't have sound on?

The Limbus ??? was actually what prompted the temp command. I figured it would be a great thing to have Jingle search for, but there's also ???'s littered -everywhere- in the world, so temp will only add it to an internal table and not save it to the normal list, and automatically dump that table when you zone.

There is also a chatlog notification when it finds a target, too, in case you have sound off :)

Ah that's a great idea so then we won't need to know the ID for the ???

Does this work on the standard pop in distance, which I am guessing is 40 or 50?

Showing distance for something like this could help a lot with hot cold

Having ran through temenos a couple times now and if they were there I definitely did not know

Yes only detects things that are in normal object draw distance, which is 50 yalms. That range is able to be changed, but there is a hard cap of 50. I haven't actually tried it with the ring assault, but my guess is the game doesn't load it into memory until you're close enough to it for it to show up anyway, but not sure honestly.

Should add Mog-Tablet to the default targets list. As a former hunter of collecting every reward this would have came in handy.

I know this really isn't the intent of the addon, but could it be modified to do something similar (text and/or sound) For the following conditions:
1. specified buff wears (on self or party member)
2. ja is ready (maybe code it such that the notifications goes off when there's 1 second left on the recast timer?)
3. specified debuff on the mob wears off

Yeah sorry, that's a completely different addon right there. Helper will let you know when some of the longer cooldown (10m+) abilities are ready again, and my gearswap job luas have a specific ability recast section in their HUDs though.
