Sound Question

[magic_one]

Can I turn some sounds off?  I find the noise of dice rolling to be distracting during a game.  However, the sounds associated with friends and invitations are GREAT.  Can I just delete the "roll.wav" file to quiet the annoying dice?  Thanks . . . .

i dont know what client you are using but in fibzilla, go to: options -> preferences -> then sounds   then click or unclick which ones you want to keep/get rid of.

He is in the javafibs forum, so I assume it is javafibs..is that correct?

In the files, there is a folder called sounds..and a wav file in there called 'shakedice'..try taking that out and see what happens..you can always put it back if it breaks anything...

Not sure if you can simply delete the sound file, but what you can do is to replace it with one you create yourself, including one which is silent. Just make sure it is a valid WAV with 44KHz. Some flexibility to support other sound formats and sampling rates is in the code, but that is largely untested. Stick with 44Khz WAV and you are on the safe side.

The sound files are bulk loaded at startup, so you need to restart JF after for changes to take effect.

Removing the "roll.wav" file did not solve my problem.  Replacing the "roll.wav" file sounds simple enough, but creating is not my area of expertise.  I prefer to locate, rather than to create.  Where can I locate a valid WAV with 44KHz that is silent?   Thanks . . . .

Created one for you, 0.2 secs of silence in vivid stereo! Save to a local disk, rename as needed. Good luck.

Thank you.  I also figured out that I could use the "double.wav" file to effectively silence the "pickup.wav" and "roll.wav" and "shakedice.wav" files.  Thanks, again.

Hmmmm, opens up a whole new world of sound opportunities.  When it becomes possible to use a different customised wav files for 'friends' when they log-in, the fun will really start.
