Hi!
First of all, I wanna say thanks and well done for Softrope! It's a really good tool I was looking forward for a long time (I hate RPG SoundMixer, ugly and not user friendly at all) !
I also wanna say hello to the community ! I'm joining you guys in hope of giving usefull feedbacks and ideas for Softrope! Long live! :)
EDIT : Doh! I wanted to post that in the general forum, not under request!

I too want to give a big Thanks for creating such a wonderful app!! I barely used RPG Soundmixer since I didn't want to spend hours trying to figure everything out and have lists of what did what in front of me when I wanted my sound effects. After I did a search, your app came up and it's taken me no time at all figuring things out -- I love it!! Now my players can get a richer experience when I have them in battles, or simply doing a dungeon crawl!! I'm also willing to participate in any beta testing you need. Unfortunately I'm more involved with the support side of things in IT rather than programming.
Thanks again, and keep up the great work!!

Well I'll join the "Thank You!" raid here. I really lofe Softrope so far and am very eager to what gem it might develop in the future. I use it already every session and am pretty happy. ;)
@Kathy: Hey are you my wonder twin? :) I'm also in IT support. Hmmmmmmm....
OMG this tool is a nerd trap! RUN KATHY, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
:-P
Cheers,
Dukey

I love this program too! My players dig it, which is all well and good, but I even put it on sometimes and listen to my inn scene as background noise; I've got lots of great Renaissance music that plays through it, and a bunch of obnoxious drunks who make me chuckle every time they come on. And my kids love it too; my 5 yr old son is always asking me to put on the jungle scene :-) I only wish I could share the scenes I've built!
Well actually you can share them. It's not perfectly integrated and takes some effort but it'd work.
You copy all the sound files you use (per Scenario) into one folder on your computer (Preferably in a path everyone could use, something like "C:\Softrope\Scenarios\Jungle\"). Then you save your Scenario file inside that folder, too. Open the scenario file with a text editor (notepad++, or if nothing else works even ye olde windows notepad) and change all paths to all those files to their new home, the just created folder, leave all other settings in them alone. Save the file again and try it out inside Softrope, it should work just as before, only that it now uses the files inside that folder. Add a text file in the scenario folder that says where it's supposed to be, pathwise, so that we're able to put it in place accordingly later. Now zip that folder up ito a nice package and upload it to a file hosting service like Rapid Share or Mega Upload and present us the download link here.
You can do that with either each scenario at a time or just zip em all together at once (but that'd prolly result in a very big file, that might exceed the max capacity of the hosting service).
Sure there is an issue with sound files that are protected by copyright, but as this is a very small community, it's more like lending a CD to a friend than "mass distributing" it so I guess it's not THAT much of an issue.
To make sure only "we" can use the file you could always password protect the zip or rar archives and post the password here in the forums.
Cheers ;)
