Usage
/sound [name] - Plays the selected sound to yourself and nearby players.
/sounds - Lists all available sounds
/stopsounds - Stops nearby sounds
All sounds heard by nearby players reduce in volume the further away they are, the initial sound volume and the radius can all be configured in the "config.ini" file.
Installation
Download the resource from GitHub here.
Create a new resource folder on your server.
Add the contents of "resource" inside it. This includes:
"Client.net.dll", "Server.net.dll", "fxmanifest.lua", "index.html", "sounds", "SharpConfig.dll", "config.ini"
- In server.cfg, "ensure" SmartSounds, to make it load with your server startup.
Configuration - Adding custom sounds
This plugin can be fully configured in the "config.ini" file. If this is configured wrong, the plugin and/or certain sounds will not work and the plugin will alert you of this in-game.
Open up "config.ini".
On line 2 you can add extra sounds here. They must be in the list otherwise they will be disabled. (See further steps required below for adding sounds).
On line 3 you can adjust the sound volume, this must be lower than 1.0.
On line 4 you can adjust the sound radius, we recommend keeping this at 20.0.
Adding custom sounds:
After you have added the command to line 2, you must specify the sound file name for each command, by creating a new section for each sound. This must be done like this:
The [doorbell] is the name of the command, this must match the command you entered on <b>line 2</b>.
The SoundFile = "doorbell.mp3" is the sound file name, the sound must be placed in "sounds" folder in the resource.
Please ensure you include the file type, this must be either "mp3", "wav", or "ogg".
This must be done for each extra command, in the example config.ini you'll see two commands created already.
Source Code
Please find the source code in the "src" folder. Please ensure you follow the licence in <b>"LICENCE.md"</b>.
