DOE: Sound Extension

[ahodges]

The way to do that is to have a SoundLink in the your Story Entry (via a MiniBoard) and click on the SoundLink then click on the Read Aloud button (you can do this now)...

I am able to hear the ChatSounds simply by making sure the text that triggers the ChatSound is in the read aloud text. I don't seem to need to do the whole MiniBoard/Soundlink thing at all. Maybe your system is more powerful than you thought! I like how it works this way, the simpler the better as there is already a ton of complication when running FG What would be the advantage to using the MiniBoard/Soundlink method instead?

Because what Bidmaron asked for was for the text NOT to appear in the Chatbox - hence using a MiniBoard & Soundlink.

Does that make sense?

Ah. I see. Makes sense if you want to hide whatever it was that triggered it. I love the fact that the story can now basically autotrigger the voiceover narration or sound effects and so on. This will be so much fun to use!

I agree! It would be great if some forum members were to contribute short video clips showing their fun uses of this excellent extension...

Dulux I know you can manually do this now, but it would be so cool to have it just embedded as a slash command in the read aloud text. When you drag the read aloud to the chat box, your environmental mood music would just automagically start and you wouldn't see 'spooky music' or whatever you had used for auto trigger in the chat window.
Slash commands are easy to add in an extension and they don't appear in the chat box when you use them if I remember rightly

Actually Gwydion runs a Twitch channel and he uses the DOE: Sound in that - I dropped in to watch the other day and it was quite a good show

Hey there, I just followed the Manual and I think I've done everything.

It is working correctly, sending sounds through Syrinscape - TS second identity: the problem occurs everytime I speak and sometimes for no other reason, because the second TS identity (the one using Virtual Audio Cable) suddenly disable itself on TS ("Speakers/Headphones disabled"). What's wrong with that?

One other thought that happened to me once. Get logged into TS and into your channel with your voice profile. Right click on your name in teamspeak and about halfway down in the options that pop up see if "priority speaker" is toggled on. If it is, it should be outlined. Toggle it off! Somehow I accidentally did this once and if it is on then every time you hit push to talk you will cut everyone off and I think it would cut off your fg sounds as well. Only other thing I can think of!

You can't embed slash commands in read-aloud text. It would be a major change within FG to implement this type of functionality. But, if you want it, here's the place to log your request: https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/

Well, it is probably not worth all that effort. You could embed the mood music link on the map and start it from there I guess. Although somewhere I remember someone saying not good to embed a music link on a map pin?

Link a MiniBoard to the map, not a sound link.
