DOE: Sound Extension

[Zeus]

Dulux-Oz - ello. Its been a while. I managed to escape the code cave for 5 mins and have been catching up on all things community related. Kudos - it looks like you have been a very busy man. Some great extensions which I look forward to incorporating into my games.

Talking of which, I have a game coming up this Friday during which I thought it would be fun to give your DOE: Sound extension a whirl. Problem is despite having installed the base (v2.2) and sound (v2.3) extensions and after having followed the Usage guidelines in the accompanying help module to create a SoundSetup, Sound and MiniBoard I am struggling to get any sounds to play at all.

I am obviously doing something wrong, but no idea what at this stage. I have attached a screenshot of the various FG sound windows so you can check my setup. Syrinscape is open and running in the background. If I click the purple note links - nothing is happening. I have double checked the string is correct (copied in using Control V) and also confirmed the Sound setting in Settings is set to On - but still no sound. Help.

Are you getting any sound locally (this is to both Rob and Zeus)?

If not, confirm that you have turn ON sounds in the FG Options List.

[Zeus]

Yes Sound is On in Options. If I open up WineCfg and switch to the Audio tab and click Test Sound I get a tone playing through my laptops speakers so Sound is working at the OS level. Similarly if I play a sound directly in Syrinscape it plays through the laptops speakers fine.

Its only when I click a purple link in FG, that no sound is being played.

Zeus - set it up to play a local sound and see if that works?

And why are you forking the main project?
Current Project: Unity 5.2 migration (fork of main project tree)

How do I do that?

So I don't paint a target on my back for Carl and John if I accidentally trash their hard work

[dulux-oz]

How do I do that?

I believe that damned means "don't try to pump the sound down Teamspeak" for eg.

Can you email me your campaign file please - I'll take a look and see what I can find (just the DOE Sound tree, if its a big campaign file) - [email protected]

Yes, not using Teamspeak or other audio mixing software. Simply looking to playback on my laptop which I use at the game table to manage my 5E games.
I have sent you the extract from my campaign file.

Hi Zeus... I almost called you Z2 cos you know that other Z fella he has been around a lot more than you lately and all that ... what I meant was you can set it to: c:\users\zeus\music\killemall.wav - it doesnt ahve to be Syrinscape sound.
