DOE: Sound Extension

[skj310]

One thing to try in Linux is to setup a Windows command file to play each music file - a bit of a faff, but it seems to work.

@skj310 - On your Linux drive, create a text file gun-shot3.cmd

Edit this file in a text editor and have one line: winebrowser /home/skj310/Music/DnD/gun-shot3.mp3

winebrowser passes the second argument to Linux and Linux will decide the best application to play the .mp3 file.

Then you can use the full path to the gun-shot3.cmd in the /openwindow url command to test - and, hopefully, this will be the same path to use within DOE: Sound - i.e. the path to the .cmd file, don't include the test /openwindow url - just what comes after that.

EDIT:

Probably a better longer term solution would be to install a lightweight web server on the Linux box and put the audio files onto this. Then you could use a HTTP URL in DOE: Sound to player the audio through your browser.

I just thought I'd add a new piece/discovery onto this conversation with TRENLOE about using LX. I figured another way that works quite well within the above discussed .cmd file:
wineconsole cmd /c start /unix /usr/bin/vlc file:///home//skj310//Music//DnD//gun-shot3.mp3

The only part is to remember that you've setup VLC to run with just 1 instance. I make this point because I now use 2 type of cmd files:
1) uses winebrowser as already discussed, which will launch the default LX music player - I use this structure to play my soundeffect files that are linked with chatsounds
2) uses wineconsole as mentioned in this post, which launches VLC - I use this player for background musc, or ambiance sounds (sound links within story entries, locations, and NPC sheets)

Sorry to annoy Dulux-Oz, but did you see this post https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...35#post342535?

Hey there Dulux-Oz ... time to send you some grief, and this time related to magic characters. You story intro for the magic characters mentions the "ChatBox" so I am thinking that using magic characters will allow me to search for patterns that span individual strings? For example:

%[CAST%].*%[MISS%]

What am I doing with the above? Well I've setup a crap tonne of local sounds that are working excellent and I'm piping them to discord swimmingly ... but now I'm wanting more! What I'm thinking is to add in a generic MISS/FAIL sound for melee, for range, for spells. So I was thinking I can only do this using the magic characters and spanning usually 2 or 3 chatstrings. I've got some experience with pattern matching but clearly not adequate, and so i was hoping that you might be able to assist?

I am thinking that ought to span a couple lines of chatstrings. But unfortunately I am pretty sure that I've my pattern syntax wrong.

For a SPELL miss I'm looking at the following 3 chatstrings:

<font color="#660066">PlayerName: [CAST] Shocking Grasp [at Adult Gold Dragon]</font><br />
<font color="#660066">PlayerName: [ATTACK (M)] Shocking Grasp</font> [1d20+2 = 16]<br />
<font color="#660066">Attack [16] -&#62; [at Adult Gold Dragon] [MISS]</font><br />

For a RANGE miss I'm looking at the following 2 chatstrings:

<font color="#660066">PlayerName: [ATTACK (R)] Longbow</font> [1d20+4 = 8]<br />
<font color="#660066">Attack [8] -&#62; [at Adult Gold Dragon] [MISS]</font><br />

I just wanted to see if you had a bit of time to help me work out using magic characters? A solid example will be most excellent!

Winter? But it's 110 DegF here. Definitely summer!

Oh wait, is that my Ego/American centric, the world revolves around me, bias showing through?

But yea, rest up Dulux! I don't want to get up at 2am Sunday just to find you are too sick to kill us off!!

Won't be me that kills you off - the flu, maybe... or the Sathar... but not me <innocent halo shining around me head />

I wish there was the ability to use one's own sounds. I know syrinscape has the soundset creator but that's on a SaaS model. Not sure I want to rent the ability to use my own mixed sounds. Here's the off chance unity has some kind of native sound support (probably not).

Hey Ken. I actually use sounds I've purchased also or downloaded from tabletop audio. Although I donated to tabletop it is free. Once you download them u can trigger them using the dulux-oz doe sound extension by pointing to the proper url on your computer. Works like a charm! Point is you don't have to use syrinscape.

[Gwydion]

To be clear I use syrinscape too as I love it but use other sounds too.

Either way I can't use it as it appears to be somewhat OS specific.
