I&#39;ve been trying to find a way to have the audio sent through Skype or some other program but the closest I have is livestream and that can&#39;t be used since it mixes in voices from the skype conversation, giving an annoying echo due to both playing at the same time. (And the delay of livestream makes it impossible to just mute skype for players, plus I use livestream to record sessions)</p> <p>I have been trying to use a tool called Virtual Audio Cable which creates a virtual input and output that can then be sent inbetween other cables. But for it to work I need to specify which sound device softrope should send to and so far it only sends to my default audio device. Is there a way to change this? Or perhaps an easier solution. (VAC is fairly complex and annoying to work with to be honest) </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/ideas#post-246 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:42:25 +0000 dorpond 246@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Hello and thank you for making Softrope! I will make sure I plug it over on our forums (rptools.net)</p> <p>I will have a whole list of ideas but let me start with this one first:</p> <p>1. When I game, I sometimes need to make small control adjustments over certain pieces of audio. I might have it all mixed up well on my home speaker system, but when I run a game at my friends house, certain sounds may be quieter or louder than I want, so I will adjust them during play (I currently use RPGSoundmixer which doesn&#39;t work in anything better than WinXP so I am looking for a replacement which led me here). I love how your app feels in that it is pretty obvious to use - small learning curve, however, I cannot change any sound parameters while the mix is currently being playing. That is a must for me.</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/kickstarter-like-options-in-the-uk#post-245 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:22:50 +0000 AlHazred 245@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Since this is one of my favorite essential DM software tools and I believe that hard work should be rewarded, I respectfully suggest that something like Kickstarter be started for this product. I think there&#39;s a niche here that needs to be filled -- there are other sound effects programs for RPGs, but they&#39;re neither as simple to use or as reliable to run.</p> <p>To that end, I did a little research on outfits similar to Kickstarter, but that can be accessed in the UK.</p> <p>uk:<br /> <a href="http://wedidthis.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://wedidthis.org.uk/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.wefund.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wefund.co.uk/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/</a></p> <p>international:<br /> <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.indiegogo.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.ulule.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ulule.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://rockethub.com" rel="nofollow">http://rockethub.com</a></p> <p>What do you think, Iain? </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/epic-sadness#post-206 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:31:15 +0000 Daniel Boggs 206@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Looks like this project may be deceased... or at least sleeping very very deeply... coma maybe? The last post from our illustrious creator was about 9 months ago. </p> <p>Would donations help? I could come up with a little more money if I thought it would get things moving again. The potential of this software is off the charts. </p> <p>If you feel you will not be able to continue would it be possible to get the source code? I might try to pick up the baton myself, or find a developer that could contribute some time and energy. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/settling-into-the-palace-of-cardboard#post-230 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 08:33:37 +0000 Iain M Norman 230@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Well the move is finished. We&#39;re safely in our new house.</p> <p>We&#39;ve closed the Gigajam regional office that only I was using and I&#39;ve moved everything to home. I&#39;m surrounded by computers, monitors, mixing desks, speakers, amps, guitars, and controller keyboards! </p> <p>I&#39;m fighting to lose some weight at the moment and am making the most of the fine weather to cycle around and get to know my new town and the surrounding countryside.</p> <p>The house is still full of crap in cardboard boxes though and everything is in chaos. There&#39;s not enough space to store all our books, some shelf building is in order. Today I think there&#39;s even a trip to Ikea planned.</p> <p>I did have time to open the Softrope project the other day and make sure it compiles! Soon there may even be time to work on it.</p> <p>I&#39;m not entirely sure what would be the best thing to do first, I think perhaps sharing scenes with other people is the best plan? </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/google-plus#post-228 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 21:39:31 +0000 Iain M Norman 228@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Anyone want a Google+ invite then let me know in this thread. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/remote-control#post-204 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 18:28:01 +0000 Destard 204@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>First of all I really like to thank you for this really good software. I plan to use it for my online sessions via Teamspeak.</p> <p>And of course this is the reason for my request. As I use my main computer for communicating (Teamspeak and Maptool) I have to run Softrope on my laptop. Otherwise all my players would hear themselves in the audio stream. As I&#39;m always a bit confused by using two keyboards and mice my suggestion is to integrate some remote control functionality like in RPGDeck so that I can focus on just one keyboard and mouse and control Softrope on the laptop via my main computer. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/legends-labyrinths#post-231 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 08:34:58 +0000 Iain M Norman 231@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Thanks to some incoming posts on my Google+ stream, I’ve spotted a new upcoming RPG recently, by the name of Legends and Labyrinths.</p> <p>I was directed to a blog post that outlined how L&amp;L is different from other fantasy RPGs and it makes for a very interesting read.</p> <p>My first reaction was, do we need another old school remake of early D&amp;D? But I was wrong, it’s not an OGL clone but an entirely new creation from the dark mind of George Strayton, screenwriter and game designer.</p> <p>It’s seems to have a feel of early D&amp;D melded with elements of more modern RPG thinking and I can’t wait to give it a go.</p> <p>I was so taken with the ideas and game-play possibilities, that I pledged some cash to the L&amp;L Kickstarter Campaign, thereby securing my hardcopy of the book on release. That release date of course will be GenCon next month.</p> <p>Check out the blog post about how L&amp;L is different and if you it tickles your fancy then why not secure your own copy!? </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/sound-files#post-202 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:29:32 +0000 equinor 202@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Hi. This looks like a wonderful program. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good sound file repositories.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
