What about gradually decreasing volume?...

Volume is going to be affected by distance from viewpoint (and be 5.1 positioned evnetually once we get DFHack intengration working reliably), so I am not going to do that just yet.

There are sooo many ways to handle this. I'd like to learn how profesionally developed games ... i am sure that devs had to deal with combat sound spam during busy RTS battles for example.

Guess best would be not to have "Interrupted by" and "Location unavaiable" sounds at all, it is not like it really helps anything.

Oh, will anyone be able to create startup script for Linux? I've tried meddling with classpath, but without any success(well, i don't have any experience in java coding), it throws exceptions like that:

Code: [Select]

...
and that's obviously some sound playback library issue, and, well, that's all i can say. It would be really terrible to not have such a potent and nice program under Linux, when it's specifically written with crossplatform language.

Oh, and also, i am rather curious about title of the music at the very beginning oh "Ah, welcome to our new home" video. Loved it, but was unable to find it among soundtrack files.

Yep, that is classpath issue. You need to set classpath variable to contain path to freetts (should be in "./lib/freetts-1.2/freetts.jar")

I will try it out in linux over weekend and procure .sh script.

As for music from video, we replaced it in current soundpacks so it is not there anymore.

Before embark, it was "Final Epic Battle" by Telaron: http://opengameart.org/content/final-epic-battle
After bembark, it was "For Originz" by Kevin MacLeod: http://www.incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?keywords=for+originz&Search=Search

You have my gratitudes.

zwei FYI rainseeker did a bunch of new recordings. Too lazy to wait for you to sign onto ICQ to tell you.

[Meanmelter]

Check your Messages Tyrspawn. Sorry it took so long to reply, I was deeply absent from this forum, and My internet went apeshit a lot.

Loving the "they promised me rivers of alcohol" embark message...

[Gatallorsith]

Great, great project...It is going to add so much to this awesome game.
Thanks a lot to all the contributors.

[Gatallorsith]

Ehm I cannot geti it to work...I've checked the ini and the sound is enebled, I've done all that was necessary with the java runtime (changed the path).

If I try to run the soundsense cmq I get this, repeated with all the others dir:

24/08/2010 05:13:54.121: Sound for 'The (.+) has lodged firmly in the wound!' do
es not contain any soundFiles and is not speech or end of loop, ignoring.
24/08/2010 05:13:54.126: Sound for 'Many nerves have been severed(.*)!' does not
 contain any soundFiles and is not speech or end of loop, ignoring.
24/08/2010 05:13:54.139: Sound for 'The (.+) counterstrikes!' does not contain a
ny soundFiles and is not speech or end of loop, ignoring.

In-game I only hear the intro.

I've unpacked all (the mod plus the 90MB pack) in the main dwf directory, so I don't know where is the problem.

Okay, theese two commands

export CLASSPATH=./:lib/MP3SPI/mp3spi1.9.4.jar:lib/MP3SPI/jl1.0.jar:lib/OGGSPI/jogg-0.0.7.jar:lib/OGGSPI/jorbis-0.0.15.jar:lib/OGGSPI/vorbisspi1.0.3.jar:lib/tritonus_share.jar:lib/freetts-1.2/freetts.jar:soundSense.jar

java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -cp $CLASSPATH cz.zweistein.df.soundsense.SoundSense

Started soundsense on my ubuntu succesfully

Those "ignoring" messages are okay and normal - it just means, that there is no sound for that event yet (as we progress there should be less and less of them)

maybe clue is at end of log?

Uhm ok, at the end I have:

Hope I will have it to work, I0d love to hear the music while playing

The message in italian is "impossible to find the spec file", as it is clear btw ^^

PS: I have the gamelog.txt in the main, as was in the mayday package.

Uhm ok, at the end I have:

...

PS: I have the gamelog.txt in the main, as was in the mayday package.

is it arranged like this?

dwarffortressdir/soundsensedir/soundsense.bat

which should work out of box

or

dwarffrotressdir/soundsense.bat

which requires some fiddling?

in any case, you should fix this by editing configuration.xml and changing <gamelog    path="../gamelog.txt" /> to contain full path to your gamelog.txt

[Gatallorsith]

The latter.
I'll try to modify the xml accordingly and edit here with the results, thanks for the fast answers

EDIT: ok now it seems to work properly, the intro is different and although the fortress seemed silent for a bit too much once "winter is upon you" message spawned the relative track started

Good luck for the project, I cannot wait to listen to a full background music and effects all the time while playing
PS: this is my first fortress.

New release: 17

link: http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/soundSense_17_93.zip

new stuff:

first, if ss fails to open gamelog.txt, "open file" dialog will show and let you find it yourself, this should help with many, many issues people are having.

seccond: small window with volume slider is there. It even works!

thank you. it's beautiful.

New version of soundpack is uploaded: http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/soundpack.zip

It contains some more Rainseeker's comments relating to mandates, item attachment/naming among other, and some tweaks to spammy sounds.

[MonkeyHead]

during a recent seige, soundsence created another spammy issue - there were so many combat sounds between so many different combantants i was just left with horrible clashy merging noise... possibly the timer idea could be extended for sounds that are the same between different entities (dont think i have worded that very well).
