I would like to know if anyone has any information on how i would get my mud server to send the MSP stuff. So clients like Zmud that support msp can say hey look its trying to send me a sound file. then play it. Any pointers, suggestions, code, would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Greystar

MSP is actually fairly simple to implement...

I'd advise checking out:

http://zuggsoft.com/zmud/msp.htm

As it's the official site for MSP (atleast, as far as zMUD is concerned)....

If you have any ROM specific questions about it, feel free to ask, I've been there, done that, so I should be able to help ya in that realm.

here is my trigger
!!SOUND( wmud/Sounds/testsnd.wav V=80 p=60 U=http://laithrad.dyndns.org/wmud/MSP/testsnd.wav)

Even if i dont include the file name at the end of the url it doesnt download from my mud. but anywayz. If I put the file in the directory and tell the zmud where to find it it works, but Shouldnt that be what the url does, sticks it in the (in this case) wMUD/Sounds/ directory? Or am I missing something here. Help!

Thanks,

Click on Preferences and expand Sounds. In MSP General check Enable Sound Downloading.

I can't get it to fail. With MSP and Enable Sound Downloading enabled, I enter the MSP command you posted into a #SH command and zMUD downloads the sound. Try doing it in a blank window by hitting ESC in the Character Selection Window. By the way, I believe that downloading does not work with inline MSP commands.

THanks, also is there any reason that it doesnt add the wav to the list like its supposed to... All i see in the window is a checkmark and .wav
and the .wav shows in red. when i go back up the directory tree i find that it has placed it in my laithrad/Sounds directory. which i delete and it still puts it back there. I have changed the mud to use wMUD as my mud directory, but MSP doesnt seem to recognize it. Is it just how i have Zmud configured? Someone suggested that if I put all the sound files into my zmud main directory it would work fine, but that would make an uglier mess of the already messy directory.

I would really like to get msp working for those people who would like to use it. Another question i have is, would it be possible for me to just write a zmud sound script in .zsc format and have people download and install that? Then it would just send an even trigger, or would that just make things more difficult then they need to be?

The script idea is possible.

Also, sounds normally go in the Sounds folder inside the mudname folder in the main zMUD directory.
