WoW Forever · free addon · 1.0.0

Liquidic Vibes

Dive in. Let the world go quiet.

Your underwater soundtrack: wowunderwater starts when your character is submerged, repeats while you stay down, and stops when you surface.

Download addon · 3.7 MiB Source on Reepo

Initial release for Forever interface 16001. In-game audio and native Windows/macOS installer checks are still pending.

Install automatically

One readable Python script for Windows, macOS and Linux/Wine. Close WoW first. You need Python 3.9 or newer; the script uses only its standard library.

Read downloaded scripts before you run them. Look for malware, unexpected commands, or anything you do not understand. Yes, even ours. There is a little congratulations at the top for doing exactly that.

Inspect the installer in Reepo Save installer

Save it to Downloads, then open a terminal in that folder. Windows users without Python can get it from python.org.

Windows · PowerShell

py -3 .\install-liquidic-vibes.py

macOS or Linux · Terminal

python3 ./install-liquidic-vibes.py

The installer finds common Battle.net, Wine, Lutris, Bottles, CrossOver and Steam/Proton installs. It verifies the ZIP against a pinned SHA-256 and keeps a previous Liquidic Vibes version in a backup outside AddOns. No administrator rights, telemetry or background service.

My game is somewhere else, or I have several installations

Use --list to see detected locations, or pass your folder with --wow-dir.

py -3 .\install-liquidic-vibes.py --wow-dir "D:\Games\World of Warcraft\_forever_"

python3 ./install-liquidic-vibes.py --wow-dir "/Applications/World of Warcraft/_forever_"

On Linux, use the _forever_ folder inside your Wine prefix. For an offline installation, download the ZIP too and add --archive liquidic-vibes-1.0.0.zip. If the directory is not writable, use your file manager and the manual steps below.

Or install by hand

Close WoW and download the addon ZIP.
Extract it and put the LiquidicVibes folder inside World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns/.
Check that LiquidicVibes.toc is directly inside the LiquidicVibes folder.
Restart Forever. Enable Liquidic Vibes in AddOns, and enable Music at an audible volume in Sound settings.
Type /lvibes test for a ten-second preview. Then dive underwater.

Installed the earlier Underwater Music addon? Disable it so both do not play at once.

A few small controls

/lvibes test — ten-second preview; also enables the addon.
/lvibes on — automatic underwater playback.
/lvibes off — stop and disable.
/lvibes status — check submersion and music settings.

It follows your character, not the camera or breath bar. Surface swimming stays quiet; water-breathing buffs and forms still work. Each dive starts the track again. It repeats every 3:25.5, with no promise of sample-perfect gapless looping. Other music addons can interrupt it.

To remove it, close WoW and delete Interface/AddOns/LiquidicVibes. The automatic installer's backups live in _forever_/LiquidicVibes-backups/.

What has been checked

Lua behavior tests cover diving, repetition, surfacing, loading screens and controls. Installer tests cover the real ZIP, updates and backups, tampering, unsafe archive paths, symlink escapes and recovery after a failed replacement. Live game audio and native Windows/macOS execution are still unverified.

Code and docs are MIT licensed. The bundled music is outside that license. Fan-made; not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment.
