Borrower And Lender - NPC Muter  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 3.4
by: Wobin, CrazyDutchGuy
This is a simple addon that basically ducks the Voice Over volume temporarily to zero when a few things happen

1. You interact with a banking NPC
2. an NPC chats or yells, and you've heard it before

This addon was brought about by the insanity that the bank lady in Daggerfall causes.

Note: This addon will override your current VO volume settings. Adjust it to your 'normal' value in the B&L addon settings.

You can add and remove npcs from a whitelist that will cause the addon to ignore them. Use this if you like the bards in the inns and the like.

Use /baladd and /balremove then click/mouseover the npc you wish to manage. (note, you may have to fiddle a bit with the list if someone runs in front of your cursor when you're trying to add/remove an npc =P)
v1.1 - Fixed the actual addon name reference.
v2.0 - Added in ducking of passing npcs
v2.1 - Made volume resetting more explicit to the addon's setting rather than current
Added in keybind for Ambient
Made both halves toggleable
v2.2 - Made saved variables character specific, so it doesn't mute quest npcs on alts (this update will reset existing settings)
v2.3 - SV files don't handle \n very well, so stripped them out.
v2.4 - Stripped out \r too.
v3.0 - Redid the storage to be more flexible and less breaky
added in /baladd and /balremove to manage the blacklist
v3.0.1 - Uh, it's actually a whitelist
v3.1 - Added mute/unmute message for keybind, BAL should work in coldharbour now
v3.2 - Increment API version
v3.3 - Fix muting of npcs after visiting bank. Added in option to not mute ambient while in conversation to prevent ambient npcs from muting quest talk
v3.4 - Increment API version

Indeed, they are the sole NPCs you are willing to listen to, no matter what they say!

I originally had it as a blacklist, seeing that it was 'blocking them' from my addon, but realised that the addon itself was a blacklist, so blocking them from a blacklist is technically whitelisting them

To quote the almighty wikipedia...

A whitelist is a list or register of those that are being provided a particular privilege, service, mobility, access or recognition. Those on the list will be accepted, approved or recognized. Whitelisting is the reverse of blacklisting, the practice of identifying those that are denied, unrecognised, or ostracised.

If it's one or the other, I prefer not hearing the bankers of course. But if it can be done, I wouldn't mind listening to the cool bard songs.

If this was an option, others could still choose to mute them if the songs are not to their liking.
Added a whitelist option, use /baladd and /balremove and mouseover the target

Posting it here in case someone else runs into it.
TY, I updated the addon description to include this.

Unfortunately, the only way to identify them would be by name, unless you're willing to figure out the name of each bard, you could probably edit the lua file to add them to the blacklist (mostly unsupported feature).

I've been getting this error when logging in, it goes away once I hit dismiss however. http://clip2net.com/s/7h7AJc

*shrug*
I am getting the same error
If anyone is having this error, could they please delete their current SV file? I'm hoping the current fix will prevent it, but if not, I'll have to go about storage of the data a different way.

Check the default VO level in the addon settings.
Where are these addon settings found? I see nothing in my escape -> settings list, no /commands?
Under Escape -> Settings -> Borrower And Lender
Yeah, I don't have an entry for Borrower and Lender in my Escape -> Settings list. Not at home at the moment, I'll get home and try to uninstall/reinstall and check again. Then toss up a screenshot if needed.
Uninstalling and re-installing the seems to have cleared up my issue. I now have the borrower and lender appearing in settings and it's working just fine. Thanks again for your help and the addon.

I generally don't interact with vendors quite so often, but I'll have a look and see how complicated that'll get
