v2.0.0

🔊 ACT Discord Triggers v2.0.0

The first release of the actively maintained fork — and a ground-up fix for the change that silenced Discord voice plugins everywhere.

In early 2026, Discord made DAVE (end-to-end voice encryption) mandatory to join voice channels. The library the original plugin relied on couldn't adopt DAVE without dropping .NET Framework — which ACT requires. This release solves that by moving Discord voice out of the plugin and into a small bundled Node.js bridge, so the plugin keeps running inside ACT while speaking Discord's new encrypted voice protocol.

If your triggers went silent in Discord, this is the fix. 🎉

✨ Highlights

• 🔐 DAVE end-to-end encryption — works with Discord's now-mandatory encrypted voice.
• 🗣️ TTS in voice chat — fire trigger text-to-speech straight into a Discord voice channel.
• 🎵 Sound-file triggers — play .wav effects through the bot.
• 🎚️ Concurrent playback — overlapping triggers mix together instead of queueing, so nothing gets dropped or delayed.
• 🎲 Random sound effects — optionally pick a random sound from a set each time a trigger fires.
• 📈 Loudness auto-leveling — automatic RMS normalization keeps every clip at a consistent volume.
• 🧭 Refreshed settings UI — categorized tabs, plus an Information tab with one-click access to your diagnostics log for bug reports.
• 📦 Node.js bundled — nothing extra to install; everything ships in the zip.

Works with ACT Custom Triggers and Triggernometry.

✅ Requirements

• Windows
• Advanced Combat Tracker
• A Discord bot token (created during setup)

Node.js is bundled in the download — you do not need to install it separately.

📥 Installation

1. Download ACT_DiscordTriggers-v2.0.0.zip from the Assets below.
2. Right-click the downloaded zip → Properties → tick Unblock → OK.
   (Windows flags node.exe/DLLs from the internet; skipping this can trip SmartScreen/antivirus.)
3. Extract it into your ACT plugins folder:
   %AppData%\Advanced Combat Tracker\Plugins
   You should end up with a Plugins\ACT_DiscordTriggers\ folder containing
   ACT_DiscordTriggers.dll, node.exe, bundle.js, and node_modules\.
   Keep all of these files together in that folder.
4. In ACT: Plugins tab → Browse… → select
   ACT_DiscordTriggers.dll inside that folder → Add/Enable Plugin.

Then follow the
First-Time Setup Guide
to create a Discord bot and connect it. Stuck? Check
Common Questions & Issues.

Updating: replace the whole ACT_DiscordTriggers folder, not just the .dll — the plugin runs alongside the bundled node.exe / bundle.js / node_modules/.
