Short: Noisy system enhancer (V2.1)
Author: Dobes Vandermeer
Version: 2.1
Type: util/cdity
Replaces: util/cdity/IFX.lha
Requires: OS 2.0+, Samples to play
This is a replacement for UPD. If you don't know what UPD is, it's
a sound playing daemon. It's use is that when an application, such as ARQ,
wants to play a sound, it can do so quickly and easily by simply sending
IFX a message, and IFX will select a sound (or other type of effect) and
play it. Coincidentally, ARQ WILL send IFX messages whenever an requester
is opened, so I recommend getting ARQ along with IFX.
IFX also sends itself messages when Windows/Screens are opened,
activated, resized, or closed, as well as several other things, such as
a chime every quarter of the hour, and a replacement or the system's
beep sound.
Some of IFX's features are:
- GUI Preferences editor...
- Replaces UPD
- Uses datatypes when available, allowing one to downloads .wav's
and .au's for sound effects.
- Allows to execute a command line, call another ID, and much more
in place of playing a sound.
- It's FREE!!! (Feel free to send money anyway, though)
NEW Since 2.0:
- Show a message
- Task Exclusion
- Ignores backdrop windows
- Default directory for sounds
- Chime every fifteen minutes, or just on the hour.
TODO:
- Does not support narration in place of sound playing (yet)
- Convert Prefs to MUI or some other nice GUI
FIXES:
- Preference editor no longer truncates filenames
