DOE: Sound Extension

[nytemare3701]

I've used Softrope, but the lack of any real support for it (namely that the forum is gone & there isn't a manual anywhere I can see) makes it a little rough to work with.

YMMV but I've found it pretty easy to work with. If you're familiar with similar software the concepts are pretty much the same - add a bunch of different sounds, set their volume, when/how often they play, etc..

I'm unfortunately not familiar with them, which is why I was using syrinscape. It's fine though, since I've decided that SS will be fine for ambient sound packs, and I'll do VLC throughput for the triggered sounds (Once I can actually FIND some triggers)

EDIT: In the Pathfinder/3.5 ruleset, I have found "Attack, Damage, end turn, apply initiative, and apply effect". Just in case someone else is searching like I am for a list.

EDIT2: Fun find! If you shift-rightclick a file in Windows, it adds the option to copy the full path of the file, not just the path to the folder. Much easier to add sound links that way.

Oh no, my version of Syrinscape (ver. 1.2.8 for Mac OSX) doesn't have the option to "Enable for 3rd Party Apps". Is this a user error on my part, or simply a limitation of my version of the software?

I can't answer with 100% certainty, but I seem to remember reading something on the Syrinscape Forums from Ben (the Syrinscape author) that the 3rd Part Aps wasn't yet available on the Mac Version (I think you need v1.2.8.1+ - but again, don't quote me).

Why don't you ask Ben directly if this is the case on the Syrinescape Forum - he's pretty good about getting back to people quickly.

[jajen2003]

Oz, you are correct. It's not ready for Mac yet. :/ Oh well, I'm still having fun with all your other extensions. Thanks!

Hey jajen2003,

If you look on the syrinscape forum under list of API calls topic, I created an excel file list of all API calls for the fantasy modules so people could search for them. You can view all of them but only the ones you have access to will work for you. I now use my list to copy the API call and paste into dulux-oz sound extension and it works great. Maybe you can try to use the spreadsheet instead? Ben was supportive in me creating the list and will stickie it at some point. Hope it helps.

Hey folks, I'm getting the following error every time I or one of my players clicks ANY THING in FG...
Attachment 14579

This window keeps popping up and covering whatever I am doing on the screen. Every roll, every drag and drop... I'm not sure what all triggered it during the game today. I had to exit and turn off the sound (and base) extension. Doing so made the error go away, but then I couldn't trigger all the cool sounds I prepped for the game.

Actually, the sounds and everything still FUNCTIONED fine, but the above pictured window kept popping up as quickly as I could close it if we were actively rolling and doing stuff.

Please help!

I'm running Fantasy Grounds LIVE 3.1.7 Ultimate, Widows 10. The base and sound extensions are the only extensions outside of decals and themes that were installed/active when the error occurred. As soon as I deactivated the base and sound extensions the error was fixed.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, this type of thing has happened before - check the Sound AutoSound entries - from memory its one of them causing the issue. Delete the "bad' sound entry and you should be good

Where do I find the "entry" to check to see if it is bad? I'm in the directory C:\Users\Wade\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds

Is it in there somewhere?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Ok, I think I found the XML file that has the AutoSound entries, but how do I know if one of the entries is "bad"? Thanks.
