@beck if you download our pk3 file either from our silent server (abcsilent.abcclan.org) or from here and have a look inside it you will see how it is done. Else pm me. @Larrywall Yes it is possible have a look inside our pk3 file to see. Briefly you need to edit wm_quickmessageAlt.menu If you look through this above you should see where the edits are. Then you need to edit the wm_allies_chat.voice and the wm_axis_chat.voice This above was added in at the end of the existing file. More info. If you look at this line QM_MENU_ITEM( "1. ^7Monty Python", exec "VoiceChat Monty"; close wm_ABC_Sounds, "1", 1 ) [name shown in menu], exec"VoiceChat [name of voicechat] So when this is selected off quick chat it will play from wm_allies_chat.voice So different people will hear a different message. Good luck if you followed that.

heh, you just assume Petty arguments aside, I can share it here for you or anyone else who wants to do custom sounds this way. The advantage of this is that you can restrict certain sounds by shrubbot level. We use this as a small benefit for regulars, vip regulars and members. In full disclosure, another member of IoW wrote these scripts, so I can't really help you if things aren't working or this is poorly written or wrong or causes your server to crash. Use at your own risk! All I know is, it works... First you need formatting.lua. I think it was supposed to be a general purpose utility script that is shared by other scripts. function makeDisplayString(text, color, length, alignment) -- Initialize display string local displayString -- Get the display length of the text local textDisplayLength = displayLength(text) -- If the text display length fits in the desired display length if textDisplayLength <= length then -- Create enough padding to make the text the correct length for display local padding = "" for i = 1, length - textDisplayLength do padding = padding ..

But take them as-is if you like. Next, the format of the playsound.cfg file is this: wewin { level:1 sound:the_game.wav } ... So you've got the command (as in !play wewin), the minimum shrubbot level required to use the sound (note all higher levels can use it), then the sound file name itself. The sound file must be in 'sound/playsound/' in your pk3 file, or else you can change the path coded in the playsound.lua file. But this way, you can just edit playsound.cfg to add your sounds, the command string and level required to run it. No end to the amount of sounds you can have. Next, define the commands in your shrubbot.cfg file: [command] command = ^bplay exec = play [i] [1] desc = Play a sound syntax = levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 [command] command = ^blistsounds exec = listsounds [i] desc = List all sounds syntax = levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 Finally, be sure to include the LUA scripts in your et config files: set lua_modules "playsound.lua"

Awesomeness, I have my work cut out for me it seems lol Thanks for the help!

Cool - haha, here I thought I was being helpful and I'm the one being helped. Thanks guys!

Look here: http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Shrubbot#Shrubbot_Files What you're wanting to do is create a [COMMAND] in your shrubbot file, like this: [command] command = mycustomsound exec = playsound sound/misc/mycustomsound.wav desc = levels = 1 2 3 4 Then use !mycustomsound to execute it. This assumes that your PK3 file has the sound in the relative folder shown in the example.

What he means is we have stuff like: !play goodgame or !play welose or !play fu or other stuff like that. So one custom command that accepts a parameter that determines the sound that is played. Our !play command is like this: [command] command = ^bplay exec = play [i] [1] desc = Play a sound syntax = levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 But it does use a custom LUA script that configures what sounds are available and at what shrubbot level. We did it because there is (was?) a limit of 63 custom commands and we wanted WAY more. I suppose you could do what fanboi has with one change: [command] command = ^bplay exec = playsound sound/misc/[1].wav desc = Play a sound syntax = levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 that might work - but then people would have to know what sounds you have in your custom pak. EDIT: Oh, and because we manage this through LUA and config files, we also have a !listsounds command that displays the sounds available for each shrubbot level.

hey u mean this? [command] command = perfo exec = playsound sound/misc/perfo.wavdesc = levels = 60 50 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 create a pk3 file ..folder: sound than misc folder or whatever ..put your sound in this misc folder ..thats the way ...

Below are my settings for xpsave. For the save period 'set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp 2o' this refers to 2 months. s - seconds m - minutes d - days o - months y - years I think the period you are using is abit ott as 9999999999999 days is something like 27 billion years give or take. Maybe change it to something more sensible. I don't know if there is a max time for this data to be stored maybe Gaoesa could answer that. As for the sound issue. Make sure the pk3 file is in the correct location, the silent folder. If not done so check out this link http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Sounds and check that the file names are spelt correctly and that you have not used capital letters in the folder or file names inside your pk3 file. The pk3 file should get downloaded automatically from your server. but make sure the server has been restarted after uploading the pk3 file. NOTE Just re read your post and if the text there is right you have an 's' on the end of sound which should not be there.
