How to set a .wav or .mp3 sound event?

[NilMouse]

Is it possible to have the client play a sound file when an event happens?

I don't see anything obvious when I look at the events window. Am I missing something or is this not a feature? Please point me to where it's possible, if so.

With only visual cues, I still feel like I miss stuff happening in a busy room; I would like to attach sound cues to certain events and character names, etc. Thank you!

Apologies for the slow response.

This is not currently possible, the only sound you can play is via the Tcl "bell" command. Playing user-defined sounds (from a .wav or .mp3, etc) would require an external library and additional code, and is something I've not gotten around to yet (see #31)

If you're on a posix OS, you can use this in a global event's 'Replace' parameter:

[[/eval exec {*}["/usr/bin/play" "/path/to/sound.wav"] &; list][/get 0]]

Substitute whatever one-off command line audio player and audio file you desire.

For a simple beep, this works:

[[/eval bell -displayof .][/get 0]]
