Specific quote selection

ProffieOS

Hello. I apologize in advance if this is covered somewhere. I searched through several threads on quote and force sounds, but I still have a question. I would like to use a special ability to play a specific quote when the saber is ignited and use another special ability to play a specific quote when the saber is not ignited. Since I will have more than one quote sound, I don’t want to just play them sequentially or randomly. I thought maybe created a quote group for when the saber is ignited and another quote group when the saber is not ignited.

I thought my SD file structure might look like this:
“font/quote/00/quote01.wav”
“font/quote/01/quote01.wav”
“font/quote/01/quote02.wav”

Is this correct? Is there a better way to do this?

Thank you.

My style library should provide the supported/required sounds in the style information section when you select the Special Abilities.

For more information on sub-sub sounds see here:

Thank you for the reply. That is good information. So, I would then construct my SD like this:
“font/quote/01/000.wav”
“font/quote/01/001.wav”
“font/quote/02/000.wav”
“font/quote/02/001.wav”
Also, in the style library, I assume I would select in the special abilities, “Play Quote Group #” and then set the selections as 1 and 2, respectively.

Thank you.

Use 0 and 1, the sequence starts with 0.

Thank you. That worked perfectly.

Does "Play Quote Group #” work for alt fonts as well? Or only those separated out using the method in the Sub-sub documentation you sent?

For example, say I had this file structure:
“alt000/quote/quote01.wav”
“alt000/quote/quote02.wav”
“alt001/quote/quote01.wav”
“alt001/quote/quote01.wav”

If I had Special Ability 1 set to “Play quote group # (Selection 0)”, would it only play the two .wavs in the alt000 folder?

Or would I use the standard quote/force control (long click PWR while blade is parallel and on) to play these sounds?

You’re mixing up Alt Sounds with Sub-sub sounds.

The altNNN folder means that sub folder of the font is “active” so if alt000 is active only those sounds are accessible and used.

The Special Ability “Play Quote Group #” refers to Sub-sub sounds. So you can set up sub-sub folders in your /quote folder and only have those sounds played. I think of it as a mini mi-com set up (see video) https://youtu.be/w4j5HHL0rik?si=NyCl2KpoyVvUGYNl

For this you would set up the /quotes folder like so (more info here: ProffieOS Documentation: Sub-sub sounds)

quote/000/000.wav
quote/000/001.wav
quote/000/002.wav
quote/001/000.wav
quote/001/001.wav
quote/001/002.wav

So if you set Group #0 as the specific sound it would play only from here “quote/000”:

quote/000/000.wav
quote/000/001.wav
quote/000/002.wav

Then if you wanted to use the 001 sounds with a different Special Ability you would set it to Play Quote Group #1, and so on and so forth.

Now, you can set these up to be completely different in the Alt Fonts as well, so alt000 would have one set of quote groups, alt001 can have another but you have to set them up identically in each alt with the same number of sounds and sub folders for each effect. But you can have Sub-sub sounds in Alt Fonts if you really wanted but the controls would be separated, Alt Fonts are changed via the “Phase” special abilities, the Sub-Sub for Quotes use the Play Quote Group # special abilities so you would need to set at least one Special Ability to change “Phase” on top of the Play Group # Special Abilities.
