DOE: Sound Extension

[GeneralChaos]

I'm having trouble getting this to work. Host side seems to work fine, can link to chat, auto, soundboards. Client side doesn't seem to get triggers from host.

Sound activates on host, but nothing on client from an auto-chat miss or hit (visible rolls and actors)
Client has soundboard and clicks a button: Host gets sound/music, client gets nothing
If the host drag and drops a Sound link to the chat, a client can click it and get sound from SyrinScape, but it doesn't play automatically for anyone

Tried with fresh 5E campaign with no other modules loaded. Running 4.2.2 and latest FG

Is the client and the host on the same physical machine? Do you have Syrinscape loaded on the client (as well as the host), and if so, do you have Sounds turned ON on the client (as well as the host)?

Different computer. I did not check if it was enabled on client, forgot there are a few settings client can set for themselves. Done, working. Thanks!

Excellent! Glad we got things sorted.

Latest version of FG seems to have broken this. Running BASE v3.2.1 and Sound v4.2.2 with CoreRPG rulest v3.3.7.

Unlikely since these versions have all been out for some months. Can you tell us what problems you are having and if you are using any other extensions other than DOEs and what ruleset you are running?

Crap! Seems that some of my extensions are causing the problem. Thanks for reminding me to check those.

Is there any way to take a sound from another source and get a sound link to use in the DOE extension? I'm looking to add more sound effects, and although SyrinScape has some, many of them are set on timers so that I can't trigger them automatically, just once (for example, a character hearing a cough in a darkened room as they step in). To continue the example, SyrinScape has a great "coughs" sound in the Jade Temple, but whenever I set it up as a Custom Mood, it copies all of the dead air as well, so even when I trigger it from within DOE, I can't be sure when the sound will actually get around to playing, which is NOT helpful.

DOE: Sound can trigger lots of other stuff, not just syrinscape. I use it to trigger sounds I've found on the internet to play in VLC. you can find sounds on youtube, or many other sources on the internet that DOE can trigger. collect them on your hard drive so you get exactly the sounds you want.

Why don't you use one of the 1-Shot Coughs - there's no need for "dead air" with those. There's "Coughs" in the "Seedy Tavern" Fantasy Soundset, "Coughs" in the "TT Tooth And Nail" Fantasy S1oundset, and "Larkin Coughs" in the "" SciFi Soundset - one of these should get you out of trouble.

For the record, it took me less than 10 seconds to find these using my DOM: Soundlink Library (avaliable from DM's Guild) - I simply put in "cough" into the inbuild search function and up came the three Soundlink Entries - which I then clicked on to confirm they we "good" coughs
