Bluemax Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 First off just want to say I am not a coder so asking this Question might get some backlash but wanted to ask what the process would be to play a sound when anyone gets a PM. I was reading through all the posts looking for clues to maybe if it was implemented in the Scrubbot or maybe in the server.cfg. I know I should just RTFM (read the fu**ing manual) but I'm too lazy! Thanks in Advance! Bluemax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted May 4, 2014 Management Share Posted May 4, 2014 what the process would be to play a sound when anyone gets a PM.I don't understand this question. Do you mean programmatically or do you want to replace the sound? but I'm too lazy!After I understand the question, I will estimate if I feel too lazy to search the answer for you.

Bluemax Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Yes, I get a lot of PM's as Server Admin and sometimes I am playing and do not notice all of them unless I scroll through console and it's annoying..I usually just play without level to avoid the PM's I was on a Different ET server and someone PM'ed me and a Custom sound played. I was excited about it but to my dismay found out it was a Custom LUA for that clan that handled that process! I was told that if I wanted to have just a Custom sound for PM's it could be done in Scrubbot. from your Reply:"I don't understand this question. Do you mean programmatically or do you want to replace the sound?" So, maybe after reading your reply somehow on my clans server I am not hearing a pm sound? and then when I was at someone elses server their custom PM sound file played and shocked me and thought it was somehow a special feature.

Management gaoesa Posted May 4, 2014 Management Share Posted May 4, 2014 The sound that is played for private messages is "sound/silent/privatemessage.wav", if you want to replace the mod default with a custom sound. There isn't any cvars to disable the sound from playing, if I remember correctly, so you probably have a custom pack with a silent sound on your server. The sound file is the same for adminchat and for private messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemax Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks gaoesa! Yes , and we indeed have a Custom Sound pack @ et4 and you have answered my question! Thanks! The sound I heard on the other Server was "You've got Mail" from the Tom Hanks Movie and it was kinda cool when I got the PM...How silly and probably childish that I get excited about the little things at my age! Haha and thanks again! Blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemax Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Update: one of the Founder's of our Clan saw this post...laughed, and made a custom sound pack in like 5 mins and just added to the /Silent Directory and now it is done, So now we have "You've got mail" when there is PM! Thanks Again, I will donating some $$$ towards the Silent Mod! Cya! Blu clan DIABOLIK and frasenshuRiken 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
