Hi all,
I wanted a quick way to play around with the various sound events supported in AM but I didn't want to download/create a bunch of different samples. I'm a coder - I'm lazy by nature. So I figured out a quick way to generating place holders.
But first there didn't seem to be any place where all the configurable sound events are listed. As a famous Jedi once said "Use the source". A quick search in github revealed the following in attract/src/fe_input.cpp
const char *FeInputMap::commandStrings[] =
{
"select",
"up",
"down",
"page_up",
"page_down",
"prev_display", // was prev_list
"next_display", // was next_list
"displays_menu", // was lists_menu
"prev_filter",
"next_filter",
"filters_menu",
"toggle_layout",
"toggle_movie",
"toggle_mute",
"toggle_rotate_right",
"toggle_flip",
"toggle_rotate_left",
"exit",
"exit_no_menu",
"screenshot",
"configure",
"random_game",
"replay_last_game",
"add_favourite",
"prev_favourite",
"next_favourite",
"add_tags",
"screen_saver",
"prev_letter",
"next_letter",
"intro",
"custom1",
"custom2",
"custom3",
"custom4",
"custom5",
"custom6",
NULL, // LAST_COMMAND... NULL required here
"ambient",
"startup",
"game_return",
NULL
};
Using the above event names I generated a bunch of terminal invocations of the OS X "say" command and saved them into a quick shell script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
say -v Fred select.aiff "select"
say -v Fred up.aiff "up"
say -v Fred down.aiff "down"
say -v Fred page_up.aiff "page up"
say -v Fred page_down.aiff "page down"
say -v Fred prev_display.aiff "prev display"
say -v Fred next_display.aiff "next display"
say -v Fred displays_menu.aiff "displays menu"
say -v Fred prev_filter.aiff "prev filter"
say -v Fred next_filter.aiff "next filter"
say -v Fred filters_menu.aiff "filters menu"
say -v Fred toggle_layout.aiff "toggle layout"
say -v Fred toggle_movie.aiff "toggle movie"
say -v Fred toggle_mute.aiff "toggle mute"
say -v Fred toggle_rotate_right.aiff "toggle rotate right"
say -v Fred toggle_flip.aiff "toggle flip"
say -v Fred toggle_rotate_left.aiff "toggle rotate left"
say -v Fred exit.aiff "exit"
say -v Fred exit_no_menu.aiff "exit no menu"
say -v Fred screenshot.aiff "screenshot"
say -v Fred configure.aiff "configure"
say -v Fred random_game.aiff "random game"
say -v Fred replay_last_game.aiff "replay last game"
say -v Fred add_favourite.aiff "add favourite"
say -v Fred prev_favourite.aiff "prev favourite"
say -v Fred next_favourite.aiff "next favourite"
say -v Fred add_tags.aiff "add tags"
say -v Fred screen_saver.aiff "screen saver"
say -v Fred prev_letter.aiff "prev letter"
say -v Fred next_letter.aiff "next letter"
say -v Fred intro.aiff "intro"
say -v Fred custom1.aiff "custom1"
say -v Fred custom2.aiff "custom2"
say -v Fred custom3.aiff "custom3"
say -v Fred custom4.aiff "custom4"
say -v Fred custom5.aiff "custom5"
say -v Fred custom6.aiff "custom6"
say -v Fred ambient.aiff "ambient"
say -v Fred startup.aiff "startup"
say -v Fred game_return.aiff "game return"
Run the script in the sounds folder to generate audio samples of the spoken words.
Then I added the appropriate lines to the config file and hey presto instant audio feedback from Prof. Hawking himself, errr, I mean Fred.
Hope this help someone explore the many powerful features of AM.
cheers,
