Stop that beep!

[Mr Guy]

Alright:

grep makeNoise *
grep: CVS: Is a directory
interface.cpp: //makeNoise(item, "LocateSpawnAudioCommand", "Locate Spawned");
interface.cpp: //makeNoise(item, "CautionSpawnAudioCommand", "Caution Spawned");
interface.cpp: //makeNoise(item, "HuntSpawnAudioCommand", "Hunt Spawned");
interface.cpp: //makeNoise(item, "DangerSpawnAudioCommand", "Danger Spawned");
interface.cpp:void EQInterface::makeNoise( const Item* item,
interface.h: void makeNoise( const Item* item, char* szAudioCmd, char* szSoundType);
Binary file interface.o matches
Binary file m_interface.o matches
Binary file showeq matches


WHY IS IT STILL BEEPING! GRRRR! How am I supposed to sneak around my wife's back and play at night if zoning into FM sounds like an censored George Carlin routine?

What else makes noise, besides makeNoise? My linux box doesn't have a soundcard, and cutting the system speaker cords isn't an appealing option.

xset b off

that should turn off the console beeping ;)

Hmm have to try that. In the meantime I think I finally found it!

interface.cpp line 3386

DIE DIE DIE DIE
// Gereric system beep for those without a soundcard
//
if (!pSEQPrefs->getPrefBool("SpawnFilterAudio", "Filters"))
{
// fprintf( stderr, "\a");
// fflush( stderr);
}

I do have a question though, in the config file it says:
SpawnFilterAudio 0 # if 1 use sound device

Now I read that as 0 silent 1 is noise, but it isn't.

What it should be is SpawnFilterWav, since your choice is really between using a system beep or a wav file, not using audio or no audio.

If you are having to play EQ behind your wife's back at night, then maybe you have other issues that need to be resolved with her? :)

Or you could do what I do, disconnect the internal PC spaeaker... It's the first thing I do after I get a box fully loaded. It's only really usful for post codes and what-not. Just leave the speaker in there and pull the little 2 pin connector off the pins and you'll be golden.

If you have a need in the future for the PC speaker just plug it back in ;)

[Mr Guy]

PLAYING isn't the problem. WAKING HER UP is a death sentence.

Fatality!
