Positional Voice Chat for WoW 3.3.5

positional_audio_web.mp4

Requirements

• Mumble 1.3.4
• The wow3.dll plugin

Instructions

1. Place the WoW3.dll into the Mumble plugin folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Mumble\Versions\1.3.4\plugins or %AppData%\Roaming\Mumble\Plugins
2. In your Mumble Audio Output settings, enable the Positional Audio option
3. In your Mumble Plugins settings:
   • Ensure the World of Warcraft (x86) version 3.3.5a.12340 plugin is present and enabled
   • Ensure the Link to Game and Transmit Position option is enabled
   • Ensure the other World of Warcraft plugin (made for a later version) is disabled
4. Connect to a Mumble server with others using the same plugin
5. Confirm the message World of Warcraft 3.3.5a linked appears in the Mumble chat pane (this can take a few moments to detect)

Todo

Currently the plugin contains the context of the player (their map ID) but the Mumble server will not automatically manage users (move users or generate channels) without, as an example, a Mumble Moderator script. Without a moderation system users will all be in the same channel and their audio will be heard when near another player within range of their coordinates, regardless of which map they're on or instance they're in.
