Thank you for working with this mod!

I just updated Soundsense, and I don't know if it's because of latest DF version or what, but rain/snow doesn't work properly. It starts the sound effect when the message comes, but it keeps looping it even if "the weather has cleared" message pops up. Thanks to handy UI, it can be clicked off when needed. Btw, I think I hear some new cool weather sounds here. Storm sounds very good.

I have one question concerning adventure mode sounds. How I can apply both "adventure" XML-files? One contains folders "uneasy", "night" & "cackling" while another set contains these battle sounds (arrowhit, hit, impsplat). Is it as simple as just combining texts to XML-file? Somehow, I feel that I think in a too complicated way.

I will look at it, guess message has changed a tiny bit?

All xml files are being applied. adventurer stuff is just stuff that is specific to adventurer part of game, battle messages are common for both dwarf, adventurer and arena mode.

However, adventurer combat messages are not fully implemented (notably, messages related to clayer chracter doing something).

New release!

http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/soundSense_26_121.zip

Brand new automatic update functionality for soundpacks: Go to "soundpack update" tab, press button. SS should then start downloading changes to packs - when it is done all you need is to restart ss and new stuff should be in (which is, if you have most recent pack, some stuff for when dwarf is stung by bee.)

Beware: it will eradicate customized changes. It is also quite experimental stuff, so beware again :-)

Sounds pretty awesome. Trouble is, I avoid auto-updates as much as possible, especially "experimental" ones.
I'm loving the bee updates, though. Poor poor bee bitten dwarves.

Love the auto update feature!

Would be nice to know how long it'll update for though. Some kind of progress meter/bar would be really sweet. Don't mind waiting, when it's done its done, but if one can be added, that'd kick butt.

Yeah, it is quite rough. Basically, more of proof-of-concept stuff than decent implementation. Expect it to be improved when i get more time :)

It works great for a rough proof of concept! Had no problems here. Still need to fire up a game and take her for a spin though.

I wish I had more time to work on this mod - I keep getting distracted by other hobbies in the small amount of free time I have when i'm not doing grad school course work.

I promise to re-do the combat sounds soon.

Does anyone know of a way to get this version of it working on a Mac?
It seems to have trouble getting past the auto-updater, and therefore can't start. Is there any way to remove that part?

I dont know why, but some of the sound gets randomly distorted, it starts skipping and making weird noises....did I do something wrong? Stonesense doesnt appear to be giving any errors...

That's probably just a bunch of messages that came in at once and the sounds all play simultaneously, leading to a "grinding" noise

Alright, this is a bit odd. A few days ago this was working perfectly fine, suddenly, its giving me errors about Java. Currently re-downloading Java, hopefully that fixes it. Will update when its done.

EDIT: Yeah, every time I start up soundsense of java, it crashes immediately.

"The Village of the Dwarves"

By: Rhapsody

Album: Tales from the Emerald Sword

--

If you browse to the directories of the soundpack files, Windows 7 will list MP3 meta-data next to the file name.

--

On that note, I'm actually trying to replace that song with another one and having some problems. Simply renaming my own song and putting it in place of the worldgen track doesn't work. I read over the customization documents but it didn't point to me needing to do anything more involved. The new track is a 10mg MP3. Any ideas?
