But as to whether or not you could hook up that end user experience to the code effectively, I have no idea.

This would also be an alternate way to do GM triggered sounds too.

Because you could set up auto triggers like:

#PartyRests = Syrinscape sound 12345
or
#EnterDungeon


In game the party starts a rest
The GM types in chat #PartyRests and the sound plays.

They then enter the dungeon and the DM types #EnterDungeon and that sound plays.

You can certainly do that with pins as well, and that might be preferred, but this alternate form of GM triggered sounds would come for free with this alternate approach to autosound.

I may be mis-understanding this but if the GM has to type in #PartyRests wouldnt it be easier for the GM to just click his Syrinscape sound board instead?

I voted for the chat string suggestion but I meant to vote for the "keep both option".

Too funny. even the big cheese cant change his vote!

I have an option to edit the tallies, but I'm really tired (mentally) at the moment and figured that I might end up just dorking it up further if I tried.

You guys do realise that if we have the Chat String option it'll mean the players will probably be able to trigger sounds by trying in an appropriate chat message - people arn't worried about their players driveing everyone else nuts - or will you just kick players out who do this? :)

Oh that thought certainly did cross my mind. Its like dice rolling. New players *need* to get it out of their system and then they usually settle down (or get struck by lightning).

Dulux-Oz. Great work. Any chance of adding "export" functionality or something that would allow a transfer to other campaigns, so I don't have to remake the sound list for each campaign?

Yeah, I couldn't get that working (as I explained in a previous post) but since Trenloe had a look at the relevant code we got it sorted. Export functionality will be included in the next release (ETA: Soon(TM) :p )

This looks great, dulux-oz - I can't wait to try it out! One thing that I would find helpful is to have some screen shots illustrating the various steps in the very comprehensive wiki.

Yeah, I'd love to be able to put screenshots on the Wiki - but I either haven't worked out how to do it and/or I'm not allowed to - there are some screen shots in the manual, if that helps

Cheers
