Second public alpha release of Blood Elf Voice Restore.

This update significantly expands and stabilizes the addon's music system while also improving the in-game settings UI.

Highlights in this release:

  • Expanded the music system from a basic first-pass layer into broader regional routing
  • Added distinct music families for:
    • Silvermoon
    • Eversong
    • Sunstrider Isle
    • ghostlands-style southern / haunted Quel'Thalas areas
  • Added many more tracked Midnight music FileDataIDs to reduce double-music bleed-through in remastered subzones
  • Added more subzone-to-region overrides so remastered sub-areas route more consistently
  • Added region-aware TBC music pools for Eversong, Sunstrider, and ghostlands-style areas
  • Added intro cooldown handling so intro cues do not replay too often on quick re-entry
  • Added track-duration handling so known tracks can finish naturally instead of being cut off by the old coarse timer
  • Reduced constant restart churn from tiny subzone and resting-state changes by using broader region-based routing
  • Improved handling of WoW's global music toggle (Ctrl+M) so the addon resumes more cleanly when music is re-enabled
  • Fixed /belvr music stop so it now stays stopped until a meaningful resume trigger happens
  • Reworked the settings window into separate Voice and Music tabs instead of one long stacked panel
  • Fixed startup music double-play on initial login / world entry
  • Fixed slash-command music tests so they now use the same region-aware music selection as the live system

Current limitations:

  • This is still an alpha build
  • The music system is still an addon-side approximation, not a true engine-level override of Blizzard's music resolver
  • The addon still cannot reliably read the exact native Midnight music FileDataID currently playing
  • Ctrl+M music disable may still cut off abruptly because Blizzard appears to clamp the music channel immediately
  • Some remastered Quel'Thalas subzones may still need additional routing and mute-ID refinement

Feedback is most useful when it includes:

  • exact zone and subzone names
  • whether you were indoors, resting, or crossing a boundary
  • whether native Midnight music was still audible underneath the replacement track
  • a SavedVariables music trace captured after /reload or logout
