DOE: Sound Extension

[Gwydion]

Hi Everybody,

I've just placed an update to the Extension on the first post (v4.0). Be aware that you will also need to download the new version of the DOE: Base Extension (v3.0).

This one has quite a few new features, including Multi-Trigger ChatSounds (that work), the use of Magic Characters in Chatsound Triggers, the ability to give a Delay to a Sound, Chatsound and Autosound, and also the ability to Chain-Sounds together so that one will trigger another. All of these features ONLY work via a proper SoundLink, not via regular FG-Links - even more reason to use MiniBoards and Soundlinks.

PLEASE READ THE MANUAL ON HOW TO USE THIS EXTENSION AND THE NEW FEATURES

Let me also remind everyone that while I go on about Syrinscape a lot in the documentation, the DOE: Sound can be used with ANY 3rd-party sound system, provided that the 3rd-party sound system can be controlled via a URL (or URI) - please see you favorite 3rd-party sound system's documentation for how to use it with a URL/URI.

For everybody's interest I've included a screen-shot of a ChatSound Record which is the start of a 7-sound Sound-Chain (also shown). I've also included (as a zip file) an audio capture of the Sound-Chain in action. I've called in Wilhelm Tell - if you know the legend of William Tell you'll get the joke. So picture the Baron's men, poor Wilhelm standing against the tree with an apple on his head, the villages gathered around, and Wilhelm's father drawing back his bow...

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

Enjoy!

Cheers

Awesome! Can't wait to download and try it. I have a game tonight and everything still seems to work with the versions I have of everything so I might wait until tomorrow when I can download and start testing everything. Awesome enhancements! Thanks for all your work on this!

Wonderful work Dulux -The Chatsound functionality in Savage Worlds works like a dream now.

I do have a question on differentiating chatsounds. If I have 2 different beasts - both using "Fighting: Bite" as an attack - can I use different chatsounds for the attack depending on the creature? It doesn't appear to recognize the monster rolling the attack - perhaps because that piece is not transferred over the internet?

By way of example, I have a dragon and a giant worm, both have "Fighting:Bite" as their attack - but when I use the trigger as "Giant Worm: Fighting: Bite" or "Dragn: Fighting: Bite" - the chatsound doesn't trigger.

Love the new updates to the sound extension but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to chain the sounds. I have created a Crossbow, Hand (Hit - Fire) and a Crossbow, Hand (Hit - Impact) and I am dragging the shield from my impact sound and dropping it in the chain sound "next sound" box but nothing happens.

I am sure it is something simple I am overlooking.

Got it figured out. I had to drag the sound link created not the shield.

The sound extension has a red "x" in the load up screen, I have never seen this before... any ideas? Eve when I try to create a new Campaign it remains.

Hi Everyone,

I have been searching through this thread, but I still don't think I am understanding how to set this up correctly. I am having trouble getting chat sounds to work. In the photo below neither of the chat sounds I have created seem to be working. I have sounds enabled in the options so I know it is not that. If i create a sound that just says [ATTACK (M)] Dagger with no second trigger then it will play, but I can't get second triggers to work . Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all so much!

OK, so a Chatsound Trigger has to be exactly the same as the string of characters in the Chatbox. Check for things like double "spaces" etc. If there's a word/number/whatever that changes from time to time (like the amount of damage) in the middle of the string you're trying to trigger off, then use a multi-part Trigger that doesn't include the changeable bit, or see if you can get a Magic Character Trigger to work.

Other than that, all I can suggest is post screenshot of the Chatbox with the target string(s) and also the Chatsound Record(s) and maybe the Community can collectively work out the correct trigger sequence.

RTFM - its not the shield that you drag-&-drop but the purple treble clef link - once you have hit the green "Create Sound" button on the "tailing" Chained-Sound, and then on the "head" sound.
