World ambient sound

[Wings]

Is there a way to make the world ambient sound play but once?

[E]

Not that I'm aware of, Wings.

Thank you for the info, E.

If you knew any sound editing... you could make the ambient sound for say 1 minute, then record silence after it for a couple hours LOL

Ahhh, yes. I did this with some bird calls I had up there once, so they weren't constantly chirpping. (grin) But I was hoping for a better way, as I have music scattered about the site and didn't want the background playing over the top of it.

Thanks for the input, Bull.

Hey Wings,

I found an old note about global ambient sound I think you'll like. You asked about this previously:

It is possible to the volume of a global ambient sound by appending #vol=<num> where num is an integer in the range from 0 (silent) to 100 (max). That is, the same scale used for the "media" command. It defaults to 100.

Here is an example that sets 25% volume:

Global ambient sound: http://objects.activeworlds.com/aw/s...no4.mp3#vol=25

It is also possible to make it non-looping by prepending "noloop ":

Global ambient sound: noloop http://objects.activeworlds.com/aw/sounds/sbtechno4.mp3

Or a combination of both:

Global ambient sound: noloop http://objects.activeworlds.com/aw/s...no4.mp3#vol=25

"prepending!" That one would never have occurred to me!

Thanks, much E. Will be giving that one a try.

lol. I like the music to play in my world all the time. Gives me something to listen to while I build and such.
