Custom Id#? by Jacko_all on 06-16-2006 at 06:09 AM

How do I find out my custom id sounds?
I know to type it as such:

/sound #????????????????

But my custom sounds have names not id tag#'s {Perhaps Patch could include this in an upgrade?}

And is there a way to embed the sound with new text like a custom sound:

/sdoh You shine as brilliantly as a 2 watt bulb...

In theory a custom sound should be sent like this:

/sound #58C62DEFF4ED

And a custom Sound with text like this:

/sound #58C62DEFF4ED I can feel any way I want...

But the latter doesn't send a sound or text...

Help?!?

1. In your Messenger main window (contact list), select the "Plus!" menu, and then select "Sound Library...". A new window, called "Messenger Plus! - Custom Emotion Sounds" will appear.

2. Select a sound and choose "Edit Sound".

You will now see this screen:

What about the rest though?

You can send custom sounds with the name (or part of the name) as parameter too.

See official help pages > commands and tags.

No. Custom sounds and the build-in sounds work in a different way. For custom sounds the current lines shown in a conversation need to be there in order for Plus! to reconize them as a custom sound. So changing those lines will actually 'corrupt' the proper workings of custom sounds.

What you can do however is sending the alternative text before or after you send the custom sound. This can be combined in a quicktext for example.

See "CookieRevised's reply to Integrated Sound Creator" for details.

It doesn't work because the latter is not the proper syntax for sending a custom sound; it is also not documented like that in the official help pages > commands and tags.
