Subject: [Audyssey] vipmud help needed-about sounds and triggers
Just spent most of today messing with my vipmud demo, so far I've figured
out the alias, triggers and keys. Here are a few questions for you experts
out there:
1. Is there a way to brouse to the sound I want to use for a trigger from
the client itself? It takes ages for example, when I want a sound to
trigger off of (You slash * very hard*, and I got to minimize my vipmud
and go sort through my 3000 odd sound files to find the one that fits,
find it's exact path, then come back and paste into the trigger editor...
well, if you ever decide to share your pack playing sounds where they are eg
in your sounds folder isn't quite the way you'd want to go.
you'd be better of going to C:\program files\vipmud\sounds
and making a folder with the mud name, like alteraeon, or AA for short.
then you'd just paste your sounds there and do the
#play {AA\soundname.wav}
command,
but if you ensist on doing it the other way, when you enter the pattern
press enter on the script builder button, select play sound in the action
list and then you'll have a listbox with all your folders and files.
There must be an easier way of doing this?
2. Now I've created a trigger: (You stand in your recall* and it plays the
mp3 file I wanted it to play. Problem is, the song is like 6 mins long, >
now I can't get it to stop?
The helpfile mentioned the #pc stop command and the stopmusic alias, but
neither seem to work here.
that's because the pc stop thing needs a variable with the sound to stop it.
doing #pc 0 stop will stop all sounds playing at once,
however if you want to stop that single music
take this example to set it up
#Play {AA\recallmusic.mp3}; #var recall %PlayHandle
now if you do
#pc @recall stop
in another trigger it'll stop.
3. So if I got multiple characters on one mud and I want the above
'recall' trigger to be shared by them all, how do I go about setting that
up?
in the add trigger dialog check the box that says "make globally available
for all characters, that's what you need to do.
4. I read somewhere that you can make vipmud open different windows for
different texts, but I can't figure out how... Say if I want all gossip
messages to go on a separate window, what's the commands I would use, and
where do I type them in?
hmm, never heard you can do that one.
Before some of ya tell me to go read the helpfile again, let me quickly
mention that I have been doing just that this past half a day rofl. I
guess being quite happily simplified with Gmud for the past 7 years, my
brain's just not quite ready to take in all these scripting symbols and
rules- helpfile or no helpfile.
lol. I tried scripting in mt at first but got nowhere, laughs. way too much
vb script oriented for me.
So, before I trash this new comp of mine out of frustration, I am going to
close that file now, and hope some of you can answer me in the language
that I can understand <grins>
