mamo2500 Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I would like if it were possible to make a separate sound signal for my turn to bid, instead of having a combined sound for my turn to play and my turn to bid.In a tournament, while waiting for the next hand or while being dummy I sometimes do other things at my computer, and then it is nice with the ring to remind me to come back and play. But it is annoying when playing, where I usually try to be present and concentrated, to have it ringing all the time. So please..... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Look under your Bridge Base Online directory on your computer. You will find a bunch of WAV files named things like Shuffle.wav and the like. You can replace the wav file with one of your own. However, "myturn.wav" appears to cover both bid and play, so while you can change the sound, I think it changes for both. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Yes, that is what is the problem. The sound itself is okay, but I would like to be able to turn off the sound signal for "my turn to play" while still having a sound signal for "my turn to bid". But thanks for the answer anyway. :) Regards Marianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually we will improve the way that BBOdeals with sound effects but this is not exactlynear the top of our list of priorities.

inquiry Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Here is a work around idea... Change the sound associated with CARDS SHUFFLING to the "GAME START" (move the shuffle.wav to another directory, and make a copy of "GAMESTART.WAV" and rename it as shuffle.wav. Then when one hand is over, you will hear the new shuffle wav file as a new hand is dealt (the shuffle sound is too easy to miss). As an alternative find some other, longer, louder wav file and name it shuffle.wav. It will not alert you to it being your bid, but the sound will attract your attention so you will know that a new hand has been dealt.

mamo2500 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I have succeeded in moving around the files and now I hear the "reveille" whenever a new game is dealt. This is very satisfactory and exactly what I needed.Thank you very muchMarianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
