Could it be spaces on the path?

Btw, since Java paths seem to cause some problems, you might also consider using Launch4j.

You can use it to wrap the jar file into a Windows exe. The created exe will automatically search for any installed JRE and run the jar with it. If it doesn't find any JRE, it will open the Java download page in a browser.
I've used Launch4j once for a side project, wasn't too hard to use.

Its not working for me anyway.
My path is: F:\Spel\Dwarf Fortress MAPPEN\Dwarffortress 31.11\soundSense_13_71 (its in Swedish if you wonder )
I still get that flashing screen. And I have updated JAVA.

Chances are, java is not working properly or something like that.

In order to prevent window from closing quickly, open soundSense.cmd in notepad and add new line containing "pause" under "java blah bla" line. That should allow you see error messages which would help us in figuring this out.

That'd be cool. It'd mean people wouldn't need to go all over the place (forums, DF File library, etc) to get sound files that people have made.

Indeed, centralized repository would be cool (doubly cool if it would also allow looking inside and playing samples of enclosed files). Guess we could make do with http://dffd.wimbli.com/ or page on wiki in meantime... but there are not yet so many user packs out there yet...

Thanks for tip, i will look into it.

If a sound pack conflicts with another, what happens? Does it randomly choose between one of the options, or choose the first/last one it finds?

It will choose first that matches.

So, for example if you install Toikkus pack as well as Weather pack, you will not hear weather effects because Toikkus is going to be loaded first and as such, it content matched before Weather (but, for example, after Animals.)

...Although I havent heard any sounds of rain, only the announcements that it has started to rain. There's this folder which contains "weather effects", and it should be working I guess. ...

Explained above, just remove Toikkus pack (which conflicts with most "official" packs) or rename weather directory to "aweather" so that it loads before it.

I'm loving this tool, however, I noticed that there are not many sounds for adventurer mode so I decided to create my own adventurer pack.
It's still basically a copy of the battle pack but with different log messages so that they trigger with your own actions.
I also added musics for the "** Starting Adventurer **" and "You give in to pain." messages.

It's far from finished, there are still lots of battle messages without sounds, but I think it's decent enough to be shared with you guys.
Here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9398697/adventurer.zip

It is now possible to track Soundsense Pack development as the mod content development swings into full gear:

You can try adding the Java bin directory to your system path.
1) Locate Java bin directory (probably something like C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin )
2) Add this directory to system path (instructions for XP, may be different with newer Windowses)
  - Right-click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
  - Under System Variables select Path, click Edit
  - Value has some directories separated by ; so just add the Java bin directory to the end of that list:
    %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin

Thank you.
I used this on Windows Vista and it works.

tyrspawn did work on various sounds and completed animals pack.

Now all packs are combined to one download for your convenience; here is the link: http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/soundpack.zip

I used this on Windows Vista and it works.

Yeah that was bad instalation of java, glad you got it resolved.

Heads up:

official SoundPack http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/soundpack.zip was upgrades with some sounds by none other than Rainseeker himself (work on it still continues so pm tyrspawn if you want to help out)

[LucasUP]

Nice! I must give this a try again with the new announcements. Love that you've packed everything together too!

[HammerHand]

... Interesting.

...Very interesting.

I'll have to give this a try very soon.

[Rainseeker]

It's been really fun to do!  So far I've done some mood work (fey, fell, possessions, etc.) and the failures thereof.  Also embarkment and children being born.  I try to do 5 to 10 different sounds for each event, so it's slow going, but hopefully you won't get repetitious sounds too often.
