Dance Music


DANCEMUSIC IS DISTIBUTED WITHOUT ANY SONGS. YOU WILL HAVE TO USE YOUR OWN SONGS.


So now we got that clear, lets start with the introduction ;-).
Dancemusic is the first addon I wrote, mainly to get a feeling of how making addons works. It's purpose is simple. When you do the /dance emote a song will start playing and the song will stop when you start moving again. The song that is played is selected by your race and gender. Note that the song only plays for you. Other players will not hear it!

For an idea on how it looks see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgK6GmG2OTU

You can enable/disable dancemusic in-game with the "/dancemusic on" and "/dancemusic off" commands.

To add your songs you will have to place them in the "<warcraft>/Interface/Addons/Dancemusic/Music" folder. The song should be an MP3 song. The name of the files should be in the form "<race><gender>.mp3". So for a human male character it would be "HumanMale.mp3".

For inspiration on songs to use you can browse around YouTube a bit for the WoW dance videos. I really like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=066_q4DIeqk

Personally I always edit the songs a bit so they loop nice (cut it at the right place and fadeout). Audacity is a nice free package for that.

Hope you enjoy the addon as much as I do.
