Short: (V2.38 w/src) Sound FX for Windows/Screens/More... Author: Dobes Vandermeer Type: util/cdity Version: 2.38 Replaces: util/cdity/IFX.lha Requires: OS 2.0+, IFX_Big.lha or IFX_Small.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos See http://deathsdoor.com/dobes for the IFX Web Page, where you can download sound collections and stuff. This version of IFX includes the full source in Amiga E. Anyone who uses this source should give me credit for originally writing it! 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 for the system's beep sound. Note: IFX is in no way associated with ImageFX, which is sometimes also called IFX for short. Some of IFX's features are: (- GUI Preferences editor...) - Replaces UPD almost seamlessly - Uses datatypes when available, allowing one to download .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) This is 2.38 NEW Since 2.36 - Fixed bug in Effect command that I stupidly made - Added sound commenter utility - Added cycles option for SOUND ad PSOUND NEW Since 2.30 - SPEECH tag added for narration - INCLUDE tag added, so you can modularize your config files NEW Since 2.21 - Greater functionality available through Exec message port NEW Since 2.20 - Fixed disk_#? events - Cleaned up documentation - Correctly responds to "version IFX" NEW Since 2.12 - Now Chimes the hour based on what hour it is - Fixed some bugs NEW Since 2.11 - Some bugs were fixed - Now chimes the hour and the quarters NEW Since 2.1 - window_reize now works... Yay!! 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: - Convert Prefs to MUI or some other nice GUI
