updated!!!

62

Tested EFFECT_BLADEIN and EFFECT_BLADEOUT, working well.

Tested all the new colors. Looking great. MoltenCore is a great Orange-family saber blade color!

Tested mclick.wav (used in blade length selection with my prop.) Sounds good.

63

Tested chhum.wav. Working as expected.

64

updated!!!

65

Tested EFFECT_ACCENT_SWING and EFFECT_ACCENT_SLASH.

They both work well and what a easy/great way to enhance something like SwingSpeed!

I think this was for my saber prop but I’d have to look. Maybe blaster as well?

Does idle.wav need to be triggered by selecting a user effect or does it just play after a boot or font.wav file, will be editable
In the font config file

71

idle.wav will play any time that the sound exists in the font search path and the blade is not running.
There is no CONFIG_VARIABLE to edit in font config.ini as there’s no duration to edit about it, it just loops.

Cool, can the blade pulse while the idle sound is playing, is that an option in the blade styles

73

Yes, there are ways to make a blde do something while off.
Sound and blade configuration is mostly separate though.
(Idle.wav is a lot like hum.wav, but plays when off instead of when on.)

That would just be the color when off argument in an InOutTrL

Thank you! Will try this out asap. Do the related .wav files go in the root directory, or maybe the common folder? I grabbed them from the Sabersense site (great website I had fun digging around :slight_smile: )

Regarding idle.wav again, it doesn’t stop when the preon.wav is playing they both play at the same time. Also it kinda just STARTS playing after the boot or font sounds it would sound better if it could fade in, I could fade in the sound file but then that would mess with looping or make it about a minute long with a fade at the start, could a preidle.wav be possible?

78

Could you file an issue for this on github so I don’t forget about it?
At least doing some fade-in would be easy.

79

no probs ive just copied and pasted that to the github page

aslo idle plays when i connected to PC and wont stop until i mount the sd
