Adding local sound files in linux

[skj310]

Hey there support ... am keen to try this out and see how things go. Just wanted to validate how we are adding file paths within the file import dialogue; assuming there's a sound folder local to the fgdata folder.

So ... i should point out i've had great success using @Celestian's audio overseer from forge, using my local custom sound files for combat SFX, and ambient music. All works swimmingly well and thankfully the extension continues to work with v4.4.x!!! So happy that. Within AudioOverseer I'll have a path like:
file:///home/skj310/.smiteworks/fgdata/music/SFX/action-surge.ogg

but using that path with the "Import Sound Files" tool just gives an error of:

ERROR: One or more filepaths unable to be processed, or needs to be in the data folder

have tried a number of iterations of the above like:
music/SFX/action-surge.ogg
or
music//SFX//action-surge.ogg
or
file:////home//skj310//.smiteworks//fgdata//music//SFX//action-surge.ogg

No luck so far, and drag/drop from the file explorer doesn't work either. Is someone able to provide a little more guidance?

Keep up the good works.

Create a folder called: "sounds" folder in the FG Data main directory and point the audio integration with the same path you use.

I just had one of my developers test this on his Ubuntu machine; and he didn't have any issues adding.

Make sure that you put the full path of the each file in the Import Files window. It accepts a local file path, not URL.
(i.e. /home/skj310/.smiteworks/fgdata/music/SFX/action-surge.ogg)

Works in Fedora, once you create the folder.

yeeesh ... so used to having to put file:/// or some form like that in ... didn't even think to just try the standard linux way ... nice! Thank you!

[skj310]

Sorry to bug again, but is there a write up somewhere on how to configure / use the new triggers, their patterns, and the form of regex being used?

[skj310]

Oook ... found this: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/2078932993/Using+Sound+Links ... my bad. Parking my question for the time while i review. Cheers!

The pattern matching format is that of LUA.

Anyone willing to provide a regex example for matching spells, like "Lightning Bolt" OR "Electric Arc" OR "Chain Lightning" ?

It'll probably be easier to do a trigger for one spell, then copy it twice and edit for the other spells. Otherwise this would get pretty complex and probably end up with more work in the long run.

But this would match all three - up to Lightning Bo

^[ELC][ilh][gea][hci][tn][nr ][iL][nci][g ][ Ah][Brt][ocn]

Can someone give me an hint on how to solve this problem?

I have players with "Focus Rifles" and some "blabla Heavy Rifle" and others even a "Heavy Laser Rifle". I want to play different sounds. But if i say: "Rifle = Sound X" that Sound X is played even when someone attacks using an "Heavy Rifle" or "Heavy Laser Rifle".
So basically, i want sound X to be played in general whenever an item contains the word "Rifle", except it's an "Heavy Rifle" or an "Laser Rifle"?

Tried that, if there is one pattern, it works, if there are more than one nothing plays.

I'm not sure we're on the same page. Can you give an example of what works and what doesn't please? Maybe provide some screenshots.

ok, this works ...

This does not

I'd rather have 100 sounds linking to multiple "triggers", than 400 individual triggers

The attack triggers would be even worse, it should be Pattern, then select a sound for each sub result (Miss/Crit/Fumble/Hit)

Signed, i thought that it's an "or" condition in the first place too. Maybe we can get a toggle to decide on our own if it's "or" or "and"?

I've done simple Regex in the past, and can usually parse what they are doing, but this is pretty advanced, I can follow the first

^[ELC] - Match first character to be E, L, or C

do the subsequent sets [] match the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. chars, or just seem to?

Is there a set that says ... I don't care what comes after match it? both [.-?] and [-?] don't seem to work.

Teay, that won't work because the patterns use AND Boolean logic, not OR. Hence why I was suggesting making copies of the each of the complete records - one for each spell.

[Trenloe]

Yep. And, of course, this isn't foolproof - if there was some other spell that had a combination of the different letters, then it would match. Hence why I made the suggestions of multiple records - one per spell.

Which is what I have had to do, not ideal IMHO.

Would be nice for a radio button toggling between AND/OR, next to each pattern.

I will second that suggestion!

I hope someone has added this to the wish list. After all this is just the first release of this function. I wouldn't expect it to have everything. Agile software development and Minimal Viable Product and all that.

You imply that except for the first set, the order isn't fixed, Does this regex "^[A][b][c]" match both "Abc" and "Acb"?

I kinda wish they'd have implemented the POSIX regex rather than LUA regex, I understand the former much better than the later.

[Moon Wizard]

We are using the system that Lua offers for pattern matching.

[A][c] would always match Abc - as each set of data in [...] is the possible combinations for that single character placement.

[B]^[ELC][ilh][gea] means that the first letter can be either E, L or C; the second letter can be either i, l or h; third can be either g, e or a.

^[ELC][ilh][gea] would match on:

Eig
Eie
Eia
Elg
Ele
Ela
Ehg

... and so on...
