DOE: Sound Extension

[Gwydion]

So, I actually found this post from November 2016. Might have been in this thread. Seems to have the answer I hope? I know it mentions pathfinder, but it seems to be the same issue and it appears a new campaign should solve it.


Hey, dulux-oz, I've just installed the latest version of this (and the DOE Base), and I'm really looking forward to using the new Chatsound (and MiniBoard) functionality. Unfortunately, when I try to add a new item to either of these, I get a console error:

Script Error: [string "wListIconAdd"]:1: attempt to index upvalue 'oWindowNode' (a nil value)

I don't get this error with the Autosound, Sounds, or Setup tabs. I guess this is probably because there are already items in these tabs (which I created with the previous version of the extension), whereas the Chatsound and MiniBoard tabs are empty.

I'm using the PFRPG ruleset, and the latest version of FG (3.2.1).

EDIT: I've discovered that the same error occurs with the 3.5E ruleset, with only DOE extensions turned on. However, it only occurs in existing campaigns. If I create a brand new campaign (with any ruleset), then the error doesn't occur.

EDIT: Further testing shows that the error only occurs in campaigns that already had sounds in, created using the previous version of the extension.

FINAL EDIT (and workaround): Looking at the db.xml files, it appears that the campaigns with existing sounds don't have the <ChatSound> and <MiniBoard> tags in, which is what's causing the error above. I guess that because the <MJB_Sound> section already exists, it's not being created afresh, and so those tags are not being added. I've fixed this in my campaigns by manually adding the missing tags to the db.xml files, but you might want to look at the root cause of the issue for others who aren't happy to edit xml files.

Thanks a bunch! Creating a new campaign resolved it but am going to try and look through the campaign I'm having issue with to fix this.

Excellent! Keep us posted.

Glad to be of service!

Hi,

New Fantasy Grounds user here. Love the extension. Sorry if this question has already been asked, I have been looking through for some time now and I can't find anyone who has asked the question. I have set everything up so that the party can hear the sounds I prompt via fantasy grounds/syrinscape through skype. However, whenever any of the party members talk, the sound is completely interrupted by their voices - it cuts off. Is this intended? Is there a setting or something I have to change to make it so the ambient sound continues to play even when the party members speak?

Thanks,
Sorry again if this has been asked. I'm probably just doing something wrong anyway.

Mihalis.

I believe that's a Skype thing. This doesn't happen on TS.

At least, if I there is no solution to this Skype thing, we can just use TS.

That is reassuring, thanks dude.

Definitely a Skype thing - definitely NOT the DOE: Sound Extension.

But it is one reason why I recommend Teamspeak on the Wiki Page and in the DOE: Sound Doco.

Alrighty. Teamspeak it is! Thanks for the response.

Alrighty. Teamspeak it is!

In case you didn't know, there is a free to use community TeamSpeak server. Information here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...mSpeak3-Server It has the music codec enabled - make sure you use that when creating a sub-channel for your use to maximise the sound/music quality.
