DOE: Sound Extension

[dulux-oz]

Hi Everybody,

I've just placed an update to the Extension on the first post. Be aware that you will also need to download the new version of the DOE: Base Extension.

As normal, if you have any issues or suggestions then please let me know.

Enjoy!

Cheers

Is it possible to add a delay time for the sound trigger? Like when there is a successful attack, in case there are two sound trigger for a single action, but the sounds overlap and you can not distinguish one sound from the other.

I don't know - I'll have to look into it.

But I have a feeling that because FG is asynchronist it might not be possible

Edit: Actually, thinking about this some more (in my late-night-addled-brain-state) unless I've make a massive coding error its not possible to trigger two Chatsounds off the same Chat Box string. The way the Chatsound system works is that it scans the entire Chatsound list looking for the best (ie longest) match of a Chatsound trigger to the Chat Box string, and then plays the best one found. So even if you've got two Chatsound triggers the same in two different Chatsound Entries only one of them will play.

But it's not the Chatsound that plays the sound; the Chatsound sends an OOB Message to all the connected computers which is picked up by other parts of the DOE: Sound which then plays the sound.

And even that's not true - its not that the DOE: Sound plays the sound; it sends a command to Syrinscape to play the sound.

The only way you'd get two sounds playing off the same Chat Box string is if you had a Chatsound and an Ausotsound with the Autosound triggered off the OOB Message cause FG to display the Chat Box string.

Unless I've made a massive coding/logic blunder

Like this:

Attachment 17497

For an attacking action, I have a sound trigger for "Fighting: Short Sword" and a sound trigger for "..] Parry: 7 -> Hit!" (The colon at the beginning is part of the name of the character to differentiate whether it is male or female: ".." for woman and "." For man to differentiate the sounds of each type.. kkkkkkkk!!!. When I make the attack these two sounds overlap.

Edit: I understood what you said

[dulux-oz]

OK, that makes sense - but that's two Chat Box strings, and hence the first Chatsound is triggering off the first Chat Box string and the second of the second Chatbox string.

I'll look into the delay - I'm just not very hopeful, that's all

[LordEntrails]

What about adding a delay (a period of no sound/volume) in the sound file itself? Not ideal, but wouldn't that work?

I use Syrinscape and i dont know how to modify the file.

Everything works, but as of 3.2.2 (yes I have the new ext installed) I am getting the following script error whenever i try to open a chatsounds record.

Let me take a look-see -5e Ruleset and other Extension (apart from the DOEs) loaded?

[Slalom]

I would like to use this .ext for my campaign. Just one question before i buy the Syrinscape subscribe. Inside FG the .ext can play 2 or more sounds simultaneously (one ontop of other) or only one at a time (the 1st sound stop when the 2nd trigger)?
Thank you .
