DOE: Sound Extension

[Vass_Dts]

Howdy, first off, congratulations to the awesome work on these extentions Doluz. Awesome work.

Having said that, I do have a problem getting the sound extention to work.

So, I have Syrinscape. Base Extention is installed. So is Sound Extention. Syrinscape generates the Sound String, I copy/paste it the Sound Setup=> New Sound window, it creates the purple button.

BUT, when I click it, I hear nothing. Syrinscape is running, and if I use it, all works ok.

Now, my suspicion is that the problem is that I'm on a mac. FG runs on Wineskin. Syrinscape is Native.

(For the record, I output my mic and Syrinscape on Discord through an app called Loopback, Syrinscape works normally and my players can hear it as I stream it along with my voice on Discord).

But for some reason, FG just can't "command" Syrinscape to playback. I get no error messages, the sound just doesn't play (which to my understanding is the expected behaviour as the extention does nothing if it can't find the appropriate sound).

Help a guy out? Thanks.

EDIT: The OLE extension works normally, if that information helps.
Now, it has come to my attention that there is a certain level of ambiguity regarding whether or not Syrinscape actually supports 3PI on MacOS. An old YouTube video of theirs (that was two years ago) said it was only for Windows ATM. Browsing back in this very thread I saw similar references. So, I'm unsure if the current (latest) version of Syrinscape actually suports this on a mac. And if Syrinscape does not--as of yet--actually support 3PI on the mac, why have the interface for it? This is class-A Idiotic! I mean, why on Sigil would one have the Interface for 3PI enabled on the mac app, if there is no functionality behind it??? That's VERY frustrating. "Oh, look at this shiny tool. Do you like it? Great, but it's just for show, you cannot use it." Grrr...

I'm no authority, but the first thing to check, did you turn on Sounds in the GM options?

Yes I did. It was off at first, and when I first saw it I thought that was the problem.... But no dice. :/

No, unfortunately, as far as I am aware, Syrinscape's 3PI on a Mac is still no functioning.

Not that I'm a fanboi, but if you think FG's team was small you ain't seen nothing with Syrinscapes I do know that this is being worked on over there at Syrinscape, but I'm not part of the Dev team so I only have what info they give all of us. You could post a question on the Syrinscape Boards - the guys are pretty good in getting back to people quickly.

So, I'm sorry, but any solution is out of my hands

Yeah, I did some further digging of my own and came to the same conclusion. Even spotted you on the Syrinscape forums, but I shall ignore your snide remark about macs being 'glorified calculators' 'cause it was tongue-in-cheek and I can take a joke. Also because you did an awesome job, regardless. :P

My main beef with this whole situation is with Syrinscape's UI having all the buttons for 3PI even though it doesn't work, as I think I mentioned earlier.

I'll keep using Syrinscape, no biggie. Hopefully the finished version of Master/Minion will have universal 3PI as they say.

Thanks for your input, anyway. Have a good one.

EDIT/ADDENDUM: Of course, running FG and Syrinscape on a Windows virtual machine would fix all this, but I can't be arsed to do it anytime soon. :P But if I do, I'll howl here about the results.

Yeah, maybe that was a little out of line - how about "glorified electronic abacus"? Is that any better?

Still, I suppose they are better than (Google) Chrome boxes.

Strange I can’t find it ok thanks I’ll email syrnscape

Will there ever be support for Starfinder? Currently the extension does'nt show for Starfinder Campaigns. There is support for Pathfinder, so hopefully it's not that hard to add.
