Title: Sound effects service kit for the LHA-1-A and LHA-1-B Skins (Not Coins, Invalid)
Post by: LHUPA on September 06, 2006, 10:56:57 pm
Actually in these skins, you have the "coin" and "invalid" sounds.
Originally, the two skins "LHUPATECH BOX SYSTEM LHA-1-A / LH-1-B" had sound effects for select buttons, page control (navigation) and number buttons. All letter buttons have
a "click" sound like original Rowe-AMI Jukebox 1973 and the number buttons a mechanical sound and vinyl record begin as a "plop" when the needle touch the record as it was with this make of jukebox. Due to limitations to 512kb for each post, I was taked off these sound effects and screenshots. to permit post these skins. I decided to put these sound effects available to recover the entire project characteristics as the original. If you dont want these sounds, please ignore this!

In the zipped file you should have a "service kit" as the skin text named "LHUPATECH LHA-1" or "LHUPATECH LHA-2" in the whole version within the sound effects at the "[SOUNDS]" section and the two requested sounds. For recover the entire project characteristics you should:

- Replace the skin text for this one
- Insert the two sound files in the skin file

Sounds: - letterselectB
              - numberselect plus rbeginb

After, you should have the project characteristics as the original for more
interactivity!

Another way to do this would be:

[Sounds]
BTN_ANY=letterselectB.wav
BTN_SELECT=numberselect plus rbeginb.WAV

Even if AutoSelect is configured, the BTN_SELECT event is triggered to start the song, so it makes sense to key the record off of that.  In the next version, there will be an event that triggers just before the song starts just for this purpose.

Very nice skin... thank you!

Thank you very much for this positive feedback -

- The "letterselect" sound effect is for "A" to "G" buttons and all other function buttons
- The "numberselect plus rbeginb" sound effect is for "1" to "8" buttons only

I appreciate a lot your software: WINCAB / DOSCAB!

Hmm... sounds like BTN_ANYLETTER and BTN_ANYNUMBER might be good additions to the message set then...
