Replaces the pitch-shifted weapon hit sound hack with the official
Sound\Ambience\WMOAmbience\BlackSmith.wav ambience loop. This provides
authentic blacksmith atmosphere with natural hammer strikes and anvil sounds.
Changes:
- Use proper blacksmith ambience file instead of modified weapon sounds
- Remove pitch shifting (1.6x) - use natural sound at 1.0x pitch
- Adjust volume to 0.6 (from 0.25) for ambient loop
- Play every 15 seconds (from 2.5s) for natural atmosphere
- Single loop file replaces 3 random weapon hit sounds
Implements full NPC voice interaction system supporting 6 different sound categories
for all playable races/genders. System loads ~450+ voice clips from MPQ archives.
Voice Categories:
- Greeting: Play on NPC right-click interaction
- Farewell: Play when closing gossip/dialog windows
- Vendor: Play when opening merchant/vendor windows
- Pissed: Play after clicking NPC 5+ times (spam protection)
- Aggro: Play when NPC enters combat with player
- Flee: Play when NPC is fleeing (ready for low-health triggers)
