What it does

CatQuest reads the quest text when you accept a quest and the reward text when you turn it in. It covers most level 1-60 quests that have text, including quests new to WoW Forever. Each NPC voice is chosen by race, gender and look.

Books, letters and plaques are read too. Enter a zone or subzone and its story plays on its own; a scroll by the minimap replays it.

A talking head window shows the speaker's 3D portrait, name and sentence-by-sentence subtitles. Audio goes through the game's Dialog channel, so the Dialog volume slider controls it. It is made for the Russian (ruRU) client and needs no setup.

Key features

  • Quest text read on accept, reward text on turn-in.
  • A voice per NPC, picked by race, gender and look.
  • Books, letters, plaques and zone lore.
  • Talking head with portrait, name, progress bar and subtitles; compact mode, scaling and dragging.
  • Queue and history: several quests are read in order, and the Read button in the quest log replays one.
  • Voice packs (CatQuest Voices, Books, Codex) are installed separately.

Requirements

  • The CatQuest voice packs are needed for audio; the Books and Codex packs are optional.

Installation

  1. Download the zip and extract it.
  2. Move the CatQuest folder inside it into World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\.
  3. Close the game completely and reopen it (/reload alone does not load new files).
  4. On the character select screen, check that the addon is ticked in the AddOns list.

Notes

  • The voice-over is in Russian and made for the Russian client.
  • After installing or updating the packs, restart the game fully; /reload does not pick up new sound files.
  • The voices are synthesized from the in-game text, not recorded by actors.

FAQ

I installed a new voice pack but hear nothing. Why?

Close the game completely and start it again. A /reload is not enough for the client to see new sound files.

How do I change the volume?

The voice-over plays on the game's Dialog channel, so use the Dialog slider in the sound settings.
