Are the Syrinscape Sound Link Packs updated for 2024?

[cwsoots]

Do the Syrinscape Sound Link Packs for the Player's Handbook and the Monster Manual (SWKSP5EPHBWEAPONSSPELLS and SWKSP5EMMNPC) officially support the 2024 versions of those sourcebooks? If not, is there a plan for updating those products?

I own both products and haven't done extensive testing with the 2024 PHB weapons and spells and would like to know to avoid reporting known issues. TiA!

They should continue to work. If you find any sounds which seem to be missing, please report them and we can get them added in.

Since many of the 2024 creatures received name changes from the 2014 version, I can now confirm that some Context Sounds are not loading correctly. The first few to report are below. Note that even when the new name retains some portion of the original name, the sound may not load. For example, "Cyclops Sentry" doesn't load the "Cyclops" context sounds.

To avoid many separate bug reports, I think it would be pragmatic to verify that all creatures (or at a minimum those that received name changes) still load the correct sounds. I've provided the Monster Conversion list below from the 2024 MM for reference. I would recommend doing the same validation for any spell and item name changes in the Sound Link Pack from the 2024 PHB as well. Doing this effort at once, instead of responding ad hoc to separate reports, makes more sense to me, IMHO. :)

Confirmed reports of context sounds not loading:

Giant Venomous Snake (formerly Giant Poisonous Snake)
Tough (formerly Thug)
Cyclops Sentry (formerly Cyclops)

Moderators, can you please move/copy the previous post to the appropriate bug reports thread? I don't know if it's getting visibility here.

I was asked by @ddavison to report sounds that were not working correctly (see above thread), so I did. However, I haven't seen any acknowledgment since then. Thank you!

[Zacchaeus]

Since Doug has been on holiday for the last couple of weeks he'll be catching up. I'm sure he'll see your post in due course; it won't get any further traction in bugs (it isn't a bug anyway - it will need to be a fairly substantial revision of the original).

[cwsoots]

Understood. Thank you, Zacchaeus!

[ddavison]

Sorry, yes, I did see this.

I updated the MM Sound Pack to cover the MM 2024 and the update for this should go out this coming Tuesday, April 1st.

Sounds great! Thank you (and welcome back)!
