DOE: Sound Extension

[Andraax]

If you follow my directions, you'll know if Syrinscape is setup properly (the file manager should launch Syrinscape automatically if it's not running). If you don't see those results, first make sure Syrinscape is installed and running correctly. Without that part, you could spend hours on the rest and get nowhere.

All the DOE extension does is send that same string to the OS, just like the file manager does - so if it's not working through the file manager, it won't work through FG, either.

Andraax is right and I apologize for jumping in and "hijacking" this thread a bit. Wasn't my intention. I probably got the cart before the horse a bit....

Always brings up funny images...

I bought the Fantasy Ground Sounds .mod file from DMSGuild. I did everything I was supposed to do. I put it in the .mod file section. I put the DOE extensions in the extensions folder. I clicked sounds for the tabs and opened up the library and turned on sounds from the option tab. When I press the chat sound purple button I get no sounds. I was wanting to test it out to see if I did it right.

Did did enable game sound in the options section? Do you have a Syrinscape account? Do you have a fancy audio setup or using software like Voice Meter?

Okay. Thanks for all the help. I had to take a step back, grab something to eat, and see what else I can do. I'm going to try and do the tutorial step by step and see what happens. I will post later if anything does.

The tutorial is for a hardware 1/8th inch jack. You have a USB mic like me, right? Okay, occasionally I have some audio conflict issues with the virtual cable drivers, Discord, and my USB headset . I usually reboot and do all the tutorial instructions all over again in order. The whole setup in that tutorial works, but it is a work around. If I close voicemeter by accident, or manually disconnect my USB cord from its slot it messes with the voice meter audio drivers. Also, try to make sure the kHz and frequency signals match, so like 44100 vs 48000...that will make things dicey at times. I work with audio software a lot and I have run into similar audio anomalies...so between Discord, Voicemeter, and Syrin scape, the audio signal and drivers get out of whack every so often . the 1/8th jack trips this error cycle less.. ..I load virtual cable B after a reboot, I perform the launch of syrinscape first, then change the audio selections back, then I launch discord PTB, and then my voice Discord. Often Discord messes up, so I have to reset the audio settings for Discord sometimes as well...I am tempted to start using my studio gear and doing a hardware mixer instead of USB and virtual.

I think I solved it. I bought a subscription to Syrinscape and I tried downloading most of the sound sets. When I went into Fantasy Grounds the sounds worked.

So Andraax was certainly on the right track. You definitely need to own the syrinscape soundsets (or have the subscription for them) and have the soundsets loaded in order for them to trigger. Glad you got is sorted.

Hi there!
Sorry if the questions has been asked already but I cant find answers in the wikipage :

1° Is there a way to create a chatsound that would play a random sound across a predefinite list of sounds in a specific folder?
What about playing by default a random item in the folder if no title is specified or something like this?

2° The name of the character before any action (cast, attack etc.) seems not to trigger anything I guess it is not considered somehow as text sent to players? (even if it seems so?)

3° What is the Chain sound ?

Thanks for this extension, really awesome
