    Are there guidelines on how I would accomplish this? I read the manual and the wiki page, but both assume that I want to go through Syrinscape, which I can't. Ideally I'd like to stream my sound effects through a Discord bot, but I'm open to anything that lets my players hear my custom sound library without a monthly fee.

    Here's an example of using DOE Sounds with Discord and not Syrinscape; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ound-Extension

    For Syrinscape integration, all that is used is a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) that your local computer, through a browser, will know what application to launch (identified by the URI Scheme) to access the path to the resource specified after the URI : separator.

    For example: syrinscape-sci-fi:moods/c2hpcGJvYXJkLXNjaS1maTo6QnVzeSBvbiB0aGUgYnJpZGdl/play/

    • syrinscape-sci-fi - is the URI scheme that tells your local computer to run the application registered with that scheme. In this case the Syrinscape Sci-Fi application. If it's not installed and registered properly, nothing will happen.
    • moods/c2hpcGJvYXJkLXNjaS1maTo6QnVzeSBvbiB0aGUgYnJpZGdl/play/ - this is the data passed to the application launched - the application will handle this as a request to do an action and will process this data as necessary. In this case, it refers to playing a specific mood.


    In theory, any URI scheme (the name before the :) that works in a browser on your specific computer, should work in a link in the DOE Sound extension. It's a good idea to try them in your browser first - to get the syntax right and test that the correct application launches with the right data.

    As an example of a useful URI scheme: the file scheme results in your local file system being accessed - with the path to the file being supplied. This is the same as double-clicking on the file in file explorer - if there is an application associated with the file type (extension) e.g. Windows Media Player for .mp3, then that application will launch and access the file.

    For example: file:///C:/Windows/media/Alarm01.wav

    For some files, testing in your browser is not 100% accurate - as your browser may run the file within the browser - but it can be used to double-check the URI scheme and path syntax to a specific file. To fully check - try the URI in your browser to prove the syntax is correct, then double-click on the file in file explorer - to check if the file type (file extension) automatically launches an appropriate application to run the file.

    More info on the file URI scheme here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

    Here's a list of a bunch of URI schemes: https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri...-schemes.xhtml This is not exhaustive (note that Syrinscape is not on here) as what you can use on your computer depends on what you have installed and the URI scheme/s the applications installed have registered locally.

    I'm looking for the ability to play custom sounds, but also have a very limited budget, and Syrinscape appears to have locked the ability to load my own sound libraries behind a monthly paywall. I simply do not have the funds to dish out payments on a frequent basis like that.
    Couple thoughts/points to clarify. If you are using the DOE: Sound Extension, as an example, you can literally open an mp3 file on your computer, click on the security tab in the file, copy the "object name" which is the file path and post that link as the "sound string" in a new sound record in FG. You don't need to change the link at all if you are using the sound extension.

    Second, if you are looking to stream sounds to your players, I highly recommend using cleanfeed. I've been using it for months now, and although it does still require (I think) using chrome for your browser, there is nothing for your players to download. You send them an invite link an its super simple and great quailty.

    Here are a couple of videos I have on youtube that might help you.

    Thank you for all the helpful answers. I will look into your suggestions and let you know once I was able to set something up.

    So i cant seem to get the extensions to show up after dropping them all in the relevant folders. The helper is even more confusing no idea how to start using that.

    Welcome

    Do NOT use right click "Save As". It is Github so you MUST use the "Download" button on the linked page. Please do that and then verify if things are working or not.

    Thanks for letting us know you got it working.

    Also be aware that when it comes to using the DOE extensions, Dulux has spent a lot of time writing up very thorough instruction manuals, put them to good use and they will answer most of your questions.
