So every time I make my own sound bite as a .ogg and place it in the correct default folder with all the default sound bites, under the correct path in WA, it certainly works! That is until a couple days later, every sound bite I made custom disappears from that folder and the WA no longer plays the file on trigger.
What am I missing?
It’s probably what you are not missing, the latest WA update.
If your updater deletes the old addon folder and installs a new pristine one (from Curse or wherever), your custom additions are sent to the great bit bucket in the sky.
If WA allows it, create your own folder under _xxx_\Interface\AddOns (where xxx is the game version) and place your files there. Reference them in WA with Interface\AddOns\[your folder]\[filename].ogg
These should be preserved between updates.
Oh yea, that makes sense. I think that didn’t cross my mind because when I first started custom stuff all sources kept pushing “always put your customs in x folder, don’t forget including y or x folder won’t work” but what if we just point x in a diff direction…
thanks!
Using a custom folder under the addon made sense when addons only needed updating once every xpac or so
