I would like to introduce you to a mod I started using called SmackTalk. You can find it here at Curse Gaming

Quote:
Description :
SmackTalk v0.5

SmackTalk is a very simple addon that makes your character say things when you get a critical hit. You can choose whether to have it /yell, /say, /raid, or /party the messages. The messages are chosen randomly from a list that's stored in the SmackList.lua file.

SmackTalk can use a different list of sayings for each character you have. You can edit the sayings by opening SmackList.lua and following the instructions in that file. You can also change the "proc rate", or percent of the time that SmackTalk actually says something when you crit. On my paladin, i've found that even 10% of the time is way too often, and results in a lot of annoyed party members. I've set the default rate to 5%, but that's user-configurable through the SmackTalk.lua file.

In the future, i'll be adding more events for this addon to trigger off of, such as class skills (heroic strike, etc). For the moment though, it's limited to criticals. All of the code is already there for the others, but i haven't finished fooling with the GUI, or the exact method for which i want to trigger (i.e. only heroic strikes that crit, or all heroic strikes, or make that a user-option... etc)

This was written for fun because a friend of mine asked me for it. It's completely useless and silly. I hope you like it. I sure do.

I apologize ahead of time for the crappy taunts. I wasn't being very imaginative when i wrote them, so they kinda suck. Feel free to post your own taunts here, and if they're good i'll add them to the AddOn.


I am really enjoying this mod. It is nothing fancy, it just randomly has your character say stuff when you score a critical hit. Maybe I am weird, but I love this kind of stuff. I cant wait to spend some quality time thinking of good RP sayings, right now I am just using stuff that I found on the forums.

Below is my congfig file. You would edit this file to customize your sayings and how often you want them to happen. Right now all my characters say the same thing Cymon says. Eventually I will make the sayings unique to each character.

Code:
-- SmackTalk Configuration File
--
-- Instructions: 
--        Type the phrases you want to have as your trash talk possibilities in quotation marks
--         after the equals sign.  Only put one quote per line.  You can add as many quotes as you want
--        by adding more lines at the end (but don't forget to add 1 to the number in the brackets for
--        each new line).
--        Changing the "percent" value will change the percent of the time that you will SMACK upon
--        getting a critical.  1.00 would be 100%, while 0.01 is 1%.
--
--
--        If you want to make different sayings for different characters, replace "MYCHARNAME1" with
--        your character name, and then edit that section to suit your needs for that character.  Then
--        replace "MYCHARNAME2" with your next character's name, and do the same.  later, rinse, repeat.

STlist={}
local plyrname

-- First character

plyrname="Cymon"
STlist[plyrname]={}

STlist[plyrname]["percent"]=0.05
STlist[plyrname][1]="That's gotta hurt!"
STlist[plyrname][2]="Yeah, you liked that, didn't you!"
STlist[plyrname][3]="Hope you like the taste of me boot in your face!"
STlist[plyrname][4]="How'd ya like that?"
STlist[plyrname][5]="Take THAT!"
STlist[plyrname][6]="Ohh!! You walked into that one"
STlist[plyrname][7]="Haha, Danyale taught me that one!"
STlist[plyrname][8]="You are making this easy!"
STlist[plyrname][9]="Is that all you've got!"
STlist[plyrname][10]="I'm gona have to pray after this, it is too fun!"

Installed this and configured it for three of my chars and it's actually pretty cool. The only thing is, it seems to consider every hit a critical hit so if you do set it's frequency to 1.00, every hit generates a ST. I'm getting too tired to mess around with it now to see if I just have something config'd wrong but will pass on any developments I come across.

I'd say this is just the right touch to add some fun to the game. (only thing, is you can't understand the enemies smack, so target it for your fellow team).

Might get annoying (as Rocklar said if it's set to 1.00), but people will have some funny comments.
