The awesome Sounds plugin

How many months or years we have to wait for 1.4?
Sound Plugin support would and will be aweseome, SMART style!

Is this plugin anyway still updated and developed?

Hi!
The soundplugin started of as a plugin to share with the community and we still want to. Problem is that it is currently so customized to our server and a soundbox web plugin that releasing the soundplugin would mean a huge overhaul of the code so it will work on any server.
The plugin has what SMART had to begin with.. so a soundbox where all users can play sounds from the soundbox. Server sounds for Royal and Elite (pole captured, begin round sound, megakill, ultrakill, etc.. Elite also has sounds for near misses and specific ways a round is won). However, the plugin also has winning sounds for every Glimrat (if he or she wins a map on Royal or a round on Elite their specific sound is played) plus login sounds for a Glimrat. Also, every Glimrat has 50 custom sounds they can add/delete or edit to the soundbox via our website. That same tool can make keyboard shortcuts for every sound. The loadingscreen plugin detects if the soundpugin is installed and can use it to play a sound while loading the new map and showing the loadingscreen. The soundplugin behaves differently on Royal and Elite. On Royal the sounds have priority, while on Elite the sounds will be cut off if needed so it won't be to disturbing. It can handle any type of soundfile.. besides .ogg also .wav, .mp3, .aiff, etc..
and finally its a plugin for mc.
I will have another go at it when I have some more time on my hand!

Cheers,
Charly

Hi Charly, great to hear!
Thanks for the detailed answer.

Can't wait for it

1.52 released for MP4.
Added a few things to make the screen better suit certain servers.
You can now choose when the start of a loadscreen will show.
You can switch between :

• begin of podium sequence

• end of match

• when unloading map begins

I did notice some problems with the callbacks.. for instance.. I do not receive "unloading map" untill the new map is loaded.
So best option is for begin of podium (default option).
You still have the EndMatch Delay to delay the showing of the loadscreen in seconds. (so if you set it to 4, this means that the loadingscreen will show 4 seconds after podium begins.)
Then you also can set when the loadingscreen should go away:

• At begin of warmup (elite)

• After loading new map

So keep in mind.. If you are using the loadscreens on a non-elite server .. do not use "At begin of warmup" it is elite specific.
if you do have it on begin warmup, then the loadscreen will not dissapear when a new map is loaded. You can always use the admin command : /admin hidescreen to hide it with force. (you have to type blind )

Again.. any problems.. let me know!

ow.. the checkbox to use sounds is for the Glimratten Soundplugin. That has not been released yet, so leave it off..
