Random step sound player1.1 released
Hello,
I have released version1.1 of this tool. I will first post the change log, then the readme. Enjoy!
WHAT DOES THIS DO?
This tool allows you to easyly add footstep sounds into your sound productions. Before creating this tool I needed to select each random step sound that I was going to use and mix them manually. I have decided that this work should be easier. Instead of you selecting the step sound manually, you press the space bar as fast as you want and the program will select the sounds for you and play them.
The program can also play object carrying sounds, so you can simulate a person who is carrying an object.
How does it work?
Preparing
In the sounds folder, there is a folder called step. Put your step sounds in folders. For example, grass, wood, river. You can name those folders as you like. Then, put in wav files inside your folder. The names of the wav files can be as you like. The folders do not even need equal file amounts. There are 3 example folders.
Object carrying sounds
This is a feature that you may like if you want to make a person who is carrying an object. If this feature is turned on, for every step sound that plays the program will play a random object carrying sound. You can put your object carrying sounds in sounds/t. The files must be in wav format. There is no limitation on file names or The amount of files that you can put in. There are 6 wav files that you can use.
Realistic steps
This is a feature which pans the footsteps. If you want more detailed walking then this is a feature you might like to use.
When you're ready, you can press spacebar as you like to make the character walk and record it with stereo mix.
Keystrokes:
Tab and shift tab: Navigates through folders
T: Toggles object carrying
S: toggles sounds. This is used when tabbing through folders.
k: Toggles speech. This is used when tabbing through folders.
G: Toggles realistic walking.
ctrl+g: Opens the folder menu. I thought this would be a quicker way of navigating through folders than tabbing through sometimes.
Space: plays a footstep
A: Says how many steps you took.
Ctrl+A: Resets steps
I hope this may help you.
What's new in 1.1:
Re-written folder finding system. You no longer are dependant on numbered folders. That means you can name your folders as you want. You no longer have to set how many step sounds you have in your folder either. The program will do it for you. The only limitation is that your files have to be in wav format. The same thing also applies to object carrying.
Do to the rewrite I had to remove the number row as well. I will find a way to re-add it.
Removed f1 key as I felt this was no longer needed.
Replaced the folder navigation sounds with the first sound in every folder.
Added a menu which opens when you press ctrl+g that lists your folders. You can navigate with up&down arrows and press enter on one to instantly focus on that folder.
Added the command ctrl+A to reset the step counter.
The program automatically detects your screen reader when launched. If you don't have a screen reader running at the time, the program will use sapi.
Written a local speech handeling class to detect screen readers.
