Id like to be able to record a sound file or just use a clip for each players knockouts in league. I think it could add alot to a game. Individual knockout files would be cool.

Would this be something that would have to be re-defined upon every tournament for each person...?

Would it default to one sound, but reference a individualized sound if one has been defined?

It would end up being an attribute of a player that's saved to the database. The field would be a text reference to the audio name.

Here is the way I'd see it working.

You load in sounds like you do now. Each sound gets a "name".

In the roster, each player would have a column titled something like "theme song" that would be a dropdown list of all names of all loaded audio clips. For instance, Miah's theme song might be "I Am Woman".

This information would also be part of the player database and importable from roster components or other tournaments....so, you shouldn't have to redefine it for each tournament.

You'd have the ability to configure the elimination messages to:
- Play standard elimination audio
- Play eliminator theme
- Play eliminatee theme

We have an online database of all the members and event results, etc. To incorporate this into the TM I wrote a function that convert our entire member database into the Dr. Neau TM database file so we can use this for registration at events...

Are we going to be required to re-write our functionality to incorporate these changes to the Dr. Neau database format or will the same DB (XML?) format work with the new version?

This is a perfect time for Dr. Neau Professional Services at $100/hour.

No. In general, when I import stuff from XML files I don't error out if an attribute is missing...I just (optionally) warn and substitute a default value, which in this case would be nothing.

However, I wouldn't think you'd need to change more than 1 line of code.

Assuming you wrote it in Perl (since you are a web guru), you'd change

sprintf(OUTHANDLE, "<player name=\"$name\"/>");

to

sprintf(OUTHANDLE, "<player name=\"$name\" theme=\"\"/>");

Thanks for the heads up. I'll pass on the $100/hr. as it will take me 5 min. to upload a change.

This will acuatlly be pretty cool. I can include a drop down box in the online account information EDIT section where members can select from a few different pre-defined audio elimination alerts...

When we download the most current version of the TM database each week, each member's profile will be updated with their selected audio alert.

When they're eliminated from a live event, their pre-selected audo elimination alert will sound.

What will the mask/format be for the variable in the theme attribute (filename, file name & path, etc.)?

if i might add, as cool as all this sounds, something simple like a sound randomizer might also work well. it would be nice (and entertaining) to be able to designate, say, 5 sounds as knockout sounds and let the console play them randomly. that way, every function would not be as repetitive.

The sound randomizer is good idea too.

I think the best setup would be to have a sound file attached to players information and triggered upon an elimination.(Eliminator's sound file plays)
For players new to a database with no personal sound files, a default setting (attatched to a subgroup of randomized elimination sounds).



And just a question about sound files. Is there a way to set up a one minute warning for blind increases?

The random thing has possiblities.... I'm envisioning our next Ladies' Tourney having a selection of Foghorn Leghorn quotes on rotation for eliminations....

"Boy, she's the original dumb cluck"

"Nice girl but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice"

Very Happy

What about instead of just limiting this to elimination sounds, why not allow it to be used as a generic theme song for each person? That way when each individual person buys in to the tournament their theme song plays and then when they eliminate someone the sound plays again. That way people get used to hearing their theme song. Just a little modification to the current idea... Cool

Dang! I knew this enhancement idea sounded familiar....

http://www.drneau.com/BB/viewtopic.php?p=909#909

But I guess at the time, I was just to much of a visionary for the Good Doc. So no that this has gained some momentum, whadya say Doc?

-Max

I'm a man ahead of my time...

Possible theme songs:
1 - Homer singing "Max Power! The man with the name you'd love to touch, but you mustn't touch!"
2 - "Cleveland Rocks!" by Ian Hunter/Mott the Hoople (You thought Drew Carey and the Presidents of the USA thought it up?!? Rolling Eyes )
3 - "I'm A Hustler Baby" - Jay-Z
4 - "I Touch Myself" - The Divinyls (That chick had a rack on her, boy!)

My teachers didn't like me, they tried to put me down
'Cause I wore my hair too long, played my music way too loud

It feels so good it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up, I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of Rock And Roll. Very Happy

- Bon Jovi

Theme songs... is this poker or professional wrestling???? LOL Very Happy

It seems like Dr. Neau has a problem with setting up the program for the sounds. Too hard for him to do?

Take a look at the enhancement list, Jack.

This is my elimination sound. "Kiss my curvy butt GOOD BYE!"
http://nts.umd.edu/~clay/POKER/sounds/curvy.wav

It has gotten to the point that when it plays everyone shoots their head up to see who got busted.

Personally I LOVE the Willy Wonka clip but It just won't work on TM. Something to do with Java i think.
