Zound

[frogger187]

ok..you should have zound5HTML and zoundtutorial in your inbox.

small typos fixed in zound5html and added explanaition of being able to change Triggername= to anything.

Zoundtutorial i rewrote lots of it..It was written for version 4.5 and up, but 5.0 is totally different, so most of it got whacked. I had thought of putting links in it to the free programs I use to convert and edit my wavs, but didn't know if that was ok legally or not.

no worries Pro...I have B8 running so I have a working copy..no need for 50 here i'll try to email you the changes above.

Time is my enemy Still running 48b1 but all member are SOOO excited

I apologize if this has been answered already and if this has been asked a thousand times already. I read all 9 pages But I am still not sure if I understood it :

Zounds=(Soundname="newgame",Triggername="newgame",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="midgame",Triggername="midgame",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="endgame",Triggername="endgame",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="hello",Triggername="hello",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="byebye",Triggername="byebye",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)

Am I correct that

Soundname has no function but to look good in my ini

That mean that all 5 fixed sounds hello, byebye, newgame, midgame, endgame MUST HAVE the Triggernames hello, byebye, newgame, midgame, endgame ?

Just want to be 100% sure (again)...

Sorry if I maybe ask the same question over and over

Also:

If I can use now as many sounds as I want, how many sounds can I have maximum in each package ? Can I have 1000 sounds in just one package, or for example fixed triggers in package 1, 995 in package 2 ?

Is Zound checking every file for the triggerword etc. ?

no. soundname is the name you have given the sound in UED. 'happy.wav' is by default named 'happy' in ued. This is soundname.

That mean that all 5 fixed sounds hello, byebye, newgame, midgame, endgame MUST HAVE the Triggernames hello, byebye, newgame, midgame, endgame ?

yes, but soundname can be changed if you want them to point to other sounds at a later time.

If I can use now as many sounds as I want, how many sounds can I have maximum in each package ? ?

each package can contain as many sounds as you want. In the end the download ends up being the same amount, so no real advantage one way or another.

Can I have 1000 sounds in just one package, or for example fixed triggers in package 1, 995 in package 2 ??

yes.

Is Zound checking every file for the triggerword etc. ?

triggerword is set by ini.

I just got it myself,

"person who can read have an advantage" would my father say

Thanks All clear now ..

I just saw a reply earlier in the beginning where I was told that the Soundname has the reason to make it easier to find in the ini and then again the other way around

 

[tdw-socke]

hmm, small idea, esp. for the endgamesound: maybe it would be nice, to loop a sound for a defined count of cycles ?

 

[hmishima]

Socke, personally I would find that INSANELY annyoing, especially if it was a short clip. Could you imagine a 5 second clip of say, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, see ya, so long, looped 5 times? 20 seconds of the same thing...over and over, ugh.

IMHO, If we keep requesting features for this version, we won't find anything to add into future versions Lets release it as is and let people finally enjoy this awesome release!

[sh0V3l]

i must be missing some thing because when i try to convert zounds47.ini all it does is wipeout all my [Zound47.ZTriggers] and replace with this
[Zound47.ZTriggers]
Zounds=(Soundname="newgame",Triggername="newgame",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="midgame",Triggername="midgame",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="endgame",Triggername="endgame",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="byebye",Triggername="byebye",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)
Zounds=(Soundname="hello",Triggername="hello",SoundFilename="",Hidden=True,AdminOnly=False)

i dont see the purpose of this good thing i backd up my ini or i would be sol

 

[sh0V3l]

never mind it worked that time the first 3 times it didnt i must have done something wrong nice work ben and all the team

 

[ProAsm]

Soz about the pics but they added now and I will as of now dump them and the tut can be site only as I always forget them as they are in another folder.
Sorry about the delay but I got problems atm but should hopefully be back on track by the end of the week all going well.
