DOE: Sound Extension

[rob2e]

I have got this working now with Discord without having the DM's mic open so Syrinscape can cut in.

The procedure is identical to TS or Skype in that you have to tinker with default channels etc. so follow that guide for Discord. The difference are outlined below.

1. Download and install the Discord PTB (Public Test Build) - it is on their download page.

2. Make a new Discord ID for the PTB client. I called mine SoundBot.

3. Voice settings need to be setup pretty much the same as the other Discord guide for Syrinscape (https://forum.syrinscape.com/t/syrin...nline-play/709)

4. Setup voice activity as shown in the picture

5. Make both clients of Discord join the same channel and all sounds will play in Discord.

Hope that is clear enough.

I'm pretty stuck. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

I have all the software installed, but I can't seem to figure out quite how to set up the sound bot in Discord. I followed the instructions, but it doesn't seem to be working. I know I'm missing something, but I can't figure out WHAT I'm missing.

So for some reason when I make a sound link using the setup the blue clef note button will not play the sound either in the sound tab or mini board tab. However if I create a link using the story module it will play.

Basically:

Blue Clef Note - No sound on click
Shield Icon - Sound will play

I just started using the Fantasy Grounds so maybe I am doing something wrong but I have gone over every tutorial and don't see anything I have done wrong. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Have you turned on Sound in the FG Options?

Doing sound links via the Shield Icon may play the sound, but it will cause issues down the track, which is why we don't use this method (any more).

Hi mwolf I was able to get both working in MoreCore last night.

Totally had this working with Discord, then now it doesn't. Is there a list of "common things" perhaps that people (ME!) forget or change without knowing? I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not working all of a sudden.

I have the sound profile set correctly...

I change the default playback device to "Cable Input".
I open Syrinscape.
I change the default playback to speakers.
I have the volume up on the speakers.
I have the volume slider up on Syrinscape.

CAN. NOT. FIGURE. IT. OUT.

Help?

Dulux-Oz - ello. Its been a while. I managed to escape the code cave for 5 mins and have been catching up on all things community related. Kudos - it looks like you have been a very busy man. Some great extensions which I look forward to incorporating into my games.

Talking of which, I have a game coming up this Friday during which I thought it would be fun to give your DOE: Sound extension a whirl. Problem is despite having installed the base (v2.2) and sound (v2.3) extensions and after having followed the Usage guidelines in the accompanying help module to create a SoundSetup, Sound and MiniBoard I am struggling to get any sounds to play at all.

I am obviously doing something wrong, but no idea what at this stage. I have attached a screenshot of the various FG sound windows so you can check my setup. Syrinscape is open and running in the background. If I click the purple note links - nothing is happening. I have double checked the string is correct (copied in using Control V) and also confirmed the Sound setting in Settings is set to On - but still no sound. Help.

Are you getting any sound locally (this is to both Rob and Zeus)?

If not, confirm that you have turn ON sounds in the FG Options List.

[Zeus]

Yes Sound is On in Options. If I open up WineCfg and switch to the Audio tab and click Test Sound I get a tone playing through my laptops speakers so Sound is working at the OS level. Similarly if I play a sound directly in Syrinscape it plays through the laptops speakers fine.

Its only when I click a purple link in FG, that no sound is being played.

[damned]

Zeus - set it up to play a local sound and see if that works?

And why are you forking the main project?
