What is a mode?

Previous  Top  Next

RPG-SoundMixer supports 20 different modes, which can be switched anytime while the program is running. The modes can be individually named by the user and are numbered from 0 to 19. They are the "subfolders" of the current library, where the sound-events can be placed in.

Example 1:

for example a library may contain the following modes:

(Mode 0)      Music      (contains all musical sound-events)

(Mode 1)      Animals      (contains all animal voice sound-events)

(Mode 2)      Combat      (contains all combat sound-events)

(...)

(Mode 19)   Adventure    (contains all sound-events used for the current adventure)

While the SoundMixer is running, the modes may be selected by pressing the appropriate number key (q.v. Changing the mode).

Each sound-event may only be started in its parent mode (the mode it was created/placed in). This way, keys can be used for more than one sound-event.

Example 2:

In the "Animal" mode, key "A" triggers an eagle scream while in "Combat" mode, the same key triggers an alert.

To rename a mode, select "Sound-events" from the "Sound-library" menu. In the pop-up window that appears you can select a mode from the "Select mode" list and then rename it in the "Rename mode" field.
