Hey Guys, am looking for some help with this as i've been trying all day.

I would like 2 have the following 2 sounds (sct uses these):
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Spells\\bind2_Impact_Base.wav")
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Spells\\ShaysBell.wav")
Usable for the low health/mana indicators in MSBT.

I've read the readme where it tells me to edit the MSBTSounds.lua file in the addons directory and have tried that multiple ways but am obviously missing something or not doing something.

Can anyone give me a step by steb guide for idiots that would allow me to add these 2 sounds?
Any constructive help is appreciated.

Epyrios, overhearing the cries of help from Novafire, was compelled to be of aid, even if he didn't play on an RP relm and had no idea how to conduct RP speech...

"Open the MSBTMedia.lua from the Miks file in addons located in the interface folder of WoW."

He continues,

"Start by adding in

    -- embedded libs
    local media = LibStub("LibSharedMedia-3.0")


after the

    Author: Mik
    ------------------------------------------------------
    --------


section but before the

    -- Create module and set its name.
"

Scroll down to the section started by

    -- The default sound files to use.


then change

    ["MSBT Low Health'"] to ["SCT Low Health"] (or whatever you with to call it)


Finally, rewrite the section that = Low Health (the part you just changed). It should begin with Interface\\Addons\\Mik... . Replace the text with

    "Sound\\Spells\\ShaysBell.wav"


Repeat on the Low Mana section just below it, adding the correct sound name and sound file extension for Mana"

When you finish, the block of text should look like this:

    -- The default sound files to use.
    local DEFAULT_SOUND_FILES = {
    ["SCT Low Health"] = "Sound\\Spells\\bind2_Impact_Base.wav",
    ["SCT Low Mana"] = "Sound\\Spells\\ShaysBell.wav",
    ["MSBT Cooldown"] = "Interface\\Addons\\MikScrollingBattleText\\Sounds\\Cooldown.mp3",
    }


Once you have saved this file, enter into WoW, then /msbt and change the sound by selecting it from the options in the scroll-down menu."

As Empyrios spoke the words, he hoped they helped the one in need and wished him luck with modifying this beast.

What Empyrios wrote would work although there is no need for importing shared media since it's already done. Also, the preferred method of adding new sounds is via MSBTSounds.lua per the readme instead of directly modifying the main media handler.

Open MSBTSounds.lua and change the SOUND_FILES entry to look like this:

-- The sound files to use.
local SOUND_FILES = {
["Custom Low Health"] = "Sound\\Spells\\bind2_Impact_Base.wav",
["Custom Low Mana"] = "Sound\\Spells\\ShaysBell.wav",
}

Now, save the file and reload your UI. Open MSBT's options via /msbt, navigate to the appropriate triggers, and select the new entry from the list of available sounds (Custom Low Health and Custom Low Mana in this case since that's what is specified above.).
