The process you're following to download the file in the correct format is not valid. Don't right-click on the extension link and use "Save Link As". Click on the link so that it takes you to the actual file repository page and then click the "Download" button there.

It says it is a EXT File

BUT that is it. I looked at my back up, and the file size is a lot begger, like 250 and 150 kb

I must not be downloading it right.....

Cool! trying that now

I will add that once I setup the DOE REMU I did not have to download the Sound extension myself, the REMU did it for me. So, I downloaded the helper and the remu extension, then finished the REMU install and ran that maintenance campaign. It then grabbed the download of all the other extensions. Don't know why the manual method wouldn't work, but have you tried using the REMU method?

That worked!!!!!!!

Should I make a video for this thread or is it just me

I thought about using the REMU, but I work on my D&D stuff at one location, and play at another so the locations would not be the same. So I can't use it, unless I could use relative path

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the DOM SoundLink Library - a Module of all of the available Syrinscape SoundLinks pre-packaged as DOE: Sound SoundLinks - has just had this month's version (June 2018) put up on DM's Guild (although it may take a couple of hours to be "approved" before it'll actually show up).

Note that you still need Syrinscape to use the Library as it only contains the SoundLinks, not the Syrinscape Sounds themselves.

You can find the DOM SoundLink Library by typing "DOM Soundlink" (without the quotation marks) in to the DM's Guild Search Box (make sure you select the June 2018 version - May's version is still showing up in the search list as I write this).

Cheers

I searched and read and searched and I found very little information on how to use DOE: Sound. My players demand sound because it adds so much to the game. Custom sounds are the way to go so you can collect and use the sounds you want to use. So I gave myself a Quest.
I looked for a sound player that would meet my needs. (Free and Custom) Syringscape has a free app, but it is not customizable and does not have all the sounds I want in the free version. The $10.99 a month subscription is not worth it to me so I download VLC Medai Player.

VLC has the ability to accept command line interaction and will play any sound and is FREE. I installed it and added the exe to my system path. This way I do not have to mention the exe when I call the sound file by command line. I also associated the .wav file to have VLC as it’s default app. Inside the preferences for VLC I turned on the command line interactions.

The I gathered my wav files and placed them in a wav folder right off the C: so the “URL” string will be as short as possible.

In the Fantasy Grounds Sound Panel, make sure you check it so it’s turned on, I added the sounds. The URL for a file looks like the line below;

file:///C:/wav/attack.wav

“file:///” makes it a URL, “C:/wav/” is the folder, and “attack.wav” is the sound file.

Did you look in the (very complete) manual that Dulux-Oz provided?

Yep. I've used VLC in a similar way. How are you getting the sounds to the players remotely? Are you streaming to them through VLC with its streaming capability, through discord or some other means? BTW, if you are interested, I've done a couple videos on streaming sounds to players with VLC and cleanfeed. They are out on youtube.

If you are talking about the wiki, yes.
In it does not mention File:/// or VLC.

Or is there another manual other than the forums?

My plan for the remote player, which there are few and they are consistent, we will setup VLC and the sound files the same way.
I use a laptop and a laptop connected to a TV on the table for my local players.
I already duplicated the setup there and it worked.
I look forward to viewing your videos.
