DOE: Sound Extension

[skj310]

I would have to concur.
I run on LX and wine, therefore I use LX folder structure. Although my testing was slightly different. I was running as FG server/hosting the session and therefore had the DOE:sound extension loaded, and all my local soundfiles use the LX folder structure. As the host, in my options I disabled sound. A player/client that runs FG on windows was connected to my instance, and he had sound enabled. Sounds would trigger and play as normal, but not on client side. With him enabling sound, and a sound event occurred in chat window, it would trigger the play of my local soundfile (because I was the host and I had all the chatstring triggers configured on my end, therefore they pointed to my localfiles).

I never tried to figure out a way to get a soundfile on their computer to work. But in essence I don't think it can. Even with wine emulating windows folder structures, it's not really the same.

Unless someone REALLY knows MAC well and has done experimenting, I don't think you'll find a quick answer. I suspect you might need to do some serious digging to figure things out, and let everyone know what you learned.

For me, I can only point out what i've found using LX and Windows ... which doesn't help your situation.

Thanks everyone for answers, I continue to dig and if I find something I will let you know

So... I have a problem. The Sound Links do not trigger (the purple with white cleft ones) BUT if I drag and drop them into a note or onto a map they work. It's got me confused...

So, I just ran a test. If I turn sounds "off" in my option menu and try to trigger a sound link using the purple clef it does not work. However, if I drag the link into a Note and then trigger it from there it DOES trigger the sound even with sounds "off". So, I suspect that you have sounds turned off in your option menu and when you turn it back on it should work either from the purple clef or from a note/map entry. Now as to why that is the case, that is above my paygrade!

Hope that works for you.

So, is there any update on making this work with Mac?

As far as I'm aware the issue lies in the fact the Syrinscape does not yet have its 3rd party Integration working on the Mac.

That, and I'm not sure if/how the URL-system the DOE: Sound uses works on a Mac.

So, short answer: No, not yet

Pity. I'm having a lot of trouble getting things set up on the Windows version through VM. It works, but intuitive, it ain't.

On a completely unrelated note, your signature made me laugh. Well done.

You're one of the few who have said they understand it - yes, I'm a math geek

Same here.

For those who don't get it, the mathematical nonsense phrase "√(-1) 2^3 Σ Π" is broken down like this:

√(-1), or 'the square root of negative 1' is depicted by the letter i.
2^3 means '2 to the power of 3', or '2 cubed'. This means 2*2*2, or 8.
Σ has different meanings depending on context, but in this usage essentially means 'the sum of', or 'the whole'.
Π is, of course, pi, that lovely little constant meaning the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

This can therefore also be rendered as:

i8ΣΠ, or "I ate the whole pie".

Nerd humor. Get used to it.
