Its not - its just that you can't subsequently Export them (the SoundLinks on a Map) to a Module. That's why I discourage people from using SoundLinks directly and instead recommend using them via MiniBoards.

While Soundlinks look and act like regular FG-Links, they aren't, and they don't Export directly, only indirectly via the MiniBoards. That's because the code to get them to work is over-written by the FG-Engine when they are re-imported. Remember that the FG-Engine is designed to work with Exported/Imported FG-Links, not the modified/special code that makes SoundLinks (and, incidentally, DOE: OLELinks) work.

BUT, by indirectly Exporting/Importing them via MiniBoards then the correct coding is preserved inside the MiniBoard and thus the SoundLink remain correct and working.

That's what I get for hacking a system and getting it to do things it was never designed to do - ie the FG Engine and regular FG-Links :)

So, use the SoundLinks directly on Maps if you want, but you won't be able to Export them and therefore I won't support them if you try :)

Dulux, I believe this is a known issue related to the chatsounds you already identified, but in running the savage worlds rule set with no extensions other than the doe base and doe sounds, I am unable to have the second or third trigger recognized - the first will always trigger the sound.

Yeap, I know about that one - thanks

Thanks for explanation, Dulux!

When i create a chat sound it does not play when I roll it. For Triggers [ATTACK (M)] Greatsword and I have the sound attached from "Syrinscape". when in chat and i roll to hit no sound is played. can someone help me with this. I am using the 5E D&D Rules set.

Do you have Sound turned on in the options?

Yes I have it turned on. when I type the text in chat the sound plays. When I roll the dice the sound does not play.

I figured it out I had to turn on show GM rolls.

Dulux, would it be possible to add the GURPS ruleset in your extensions?
I would be extremely grateful, because your extensions are wonderful!

Is the GURPS Ruleset based on (ie is a child of) the CoreRPG Ruleset?

Because if not, then the answer is "No", because there is too much work to retro-fit both the DOE: Base and the DOE: Sound to an FG-2-era Ruleset.

If it is a child of CoreRPG, then I'll have to take a look :)
