Yep, known misconfig on my end.  Fixed pack will be released after PyLNP updates in a week or so.

I've got an issue where the season announcer is firing twice every season, so two phrases are being played on top of each other? Any ideas? Did a cursory search of the thread and only found a mention of this back in 2010. No other sounds seem to be firing twice other than those.

Installed SS from the PyLNP.

using a config.xml from the previous LNP worked for me.

Soundsense has topped working (in lazy newb pack).  ie wont even startup.  I think maybe its a java update issue?  now on Java 1.8.101 (should that be 64bit or not?).  If I start the soundsensecmd.exe file it will load the UI but no sound.  I tried the fix of editing the cmd file by adding the java file path but nothing.  Any ideas?

I can't help with specifics (I'm not a programmer, coder or dev for any mods), but a few general ideas may help:

Download the latest standalone Java local /remover/ tool. The Adobe (or whoever owns Java this week) one works fairly well but there are others; a quick Google should help

Download the full standalone Java runtime executable, then unplug your machine from its router (or otherwise disallow /any/ Net access.. turn wifi off, disable NICs from Device Manager etc). This will stop assorted autoupdate routines running while you're trying to do things locally

Run the Java removal tool. This /should/ remove any old versions of Java, & assorted associations along with them. Java has a chequered history of exploits, & a full clean should disable them, plus get rid of any contention between old versions' DLLs etc

Make sure your network connection /doesn't/ re-enable itself upon reboot! Then Reboot (nuke from orbit), just to be sure.

Once you're sure you're clean of old Java bits & associations, run the full standalone Java install executable. It'll complain it can't get Net access; ignore it until everything else is up & running

Now you can check DF + SS.. do things work? If not, then it's a local machine config issue; if it does, go ahead & connect back up to the Net

Prior to v7 (I think) Java had a nasty habit of leaving all its old files & associations around to be used by whatever came along. v7+ improved the cleanup process but didn't do a particularly good job, hence the necessity for a full removal tool

I'm having the same problem.  Let me know if you find a solution.

Running soundsense.jar gives me "A Java Exception has occured"
Running Soundsenseexe tells me "Launch4j: The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Enviroonment installation or the runtime is corrupted.

The system cannot find the path specified."

SoundSense works for me on both my machine running Java 1.60_15-b03-219 and my machine running Java 1.8.0_66-b18.

Maybe that's my problem, I'm running 1.8.0_101.

Is there a way to revert it back?

Update: I used CCleaner to clean my registry.

soundsense application still fails, but soundSense (windows command script) works.  I started dwarf fortress from the starter pack, and manually ran soundSense.cmd (Running it from the starter pack I think just fires up the application, which fails).  I created a world, and soundsense started playing the music.

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it. I wonder if that "soundSense.cmd" would be the best launch script to have the Lazy Newb Packs try to run.

[Mathalor]

The command script wasn't working until I ran ccleaner and allowed the recommended fixes in my registry.

At least, everything I tried before running ccleaner failed, and I think I ran the command file.

Hmmm.

Hey there! First off, love this - just having the issue that sparring sounds were driving me crazy.

When I searched for a solution I didn't find much besides removing all battle music, but a reddit post revealed a solution: replace the standard battle sounds for the precise cases where a dwarf is fighting another dwarf with a blank sound reference. With a little alteration I managed to mute sparring, without affecting other battle sounds:

Add the following to Soundsense\packs\battle\battle.xml

Code: [Select]

<!--
    Sparring Sounds Begin
-->

    <sound logPattern="The (speardwarf|Spearmaster|hammerdwarf|Hammer Lord|axedwarf|Axe Lord|wrestler|militia commander|militia captain|captain of the guard|macedwarf|Mace Lord|swordsdwarf|Swordmaster|marksdwarf) (attacks|bashes|hacks|stabs|strikes at|collides with|charges at|misses|attacks|kicks|bashes|slashes|looks surprised by the ferocity of|scratches|bites|punches|strikes|strikes at|slaps) (T|t)he (speardwarf|Spearmaster|hammerdwarf|Hammer Lord|axedwarf|Axe Lord|wrestler|militia commander|militia captain|captain of the guard|macedwarf|Mace Lord|swordsdwarf|Swordmaster|marksdwarf).+" concurency="0" timeout="500" playbackThreshhold="5" ansiFormat ="&#27;[35;1m">
        <soundFile fileName="" />
    </sound>
    <sound logPattern="The (speardwarf|Spearmaster|hammerdwarf|Hammer Lord|axedwarf|Axe Lord|wrestler|militia commander|militia captain|captain of the guard|macedwarf|Mace Lord|swordsdwarf|Swordmaster|marksdwarf) (is knocked over|stands up|is no longer stunned|jumps away|bounces backward).+" concurency="0" timeout="500" playbackThreshhold="5" ansiFormat ="&#27;[30m">
        <soundFile fileName="" />
    </sound>
    <sound logPattern="They tangle together and (fall over|tumble forward).+" concurency="0" timeout="500" playbackThreshhold="5" ansiFormat ="&#27;[30m">
        <soundFile fileName="" />
    </sound>

<!--
    Sparring Sounds End
-->
Put it directly below the line

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sounds>
If you put it at the end, it won't catch all the sparring sounds (other sounds will trigger before the blank reference).

Weird, SoundSense was working just fine last night with the LNP but today suddenly stopped firing. The only thing I've done today (that I know of) is update Waterfox 64.

Anyways, I ran SoundSenseExe.cmd to see the error message.

[Fatal Error]Premature End of File.

Somehow my installation got gakked up but I have no idea how.

edit

Reinstall fixed it.

Is there still a need for event music?

Is there a way to hide soundsense while it is running ?

Minimize the window?
