Plugins + Scripts SimpleAudioPlayer

Erot79 submitted a new resource:

SimpleAudioPlayer - Audio player

Thans to the power of IA in coding i created this simple audio player, cause i couldnt find anything simple in the Hub that makes what i wanted.
It'a a atom plugin very easy. Just add the plugin to a atom (select the cslist file) and activate the Lip Synch if it's a talking/moaning audio track.

Select audio Folder: Select the folder containing your audio tracks

Select track .. : Select the track you want to reproduce

Time slider...

This plugin is great! To make it more complete, it really needs the ability to play a random sound from the folder via triggers.

Erot79 updated SimpleAudioPlayer with a new update entry:

SimpleAudioPlayer - Vers. 3

Solved some problems with Lip Synch.

Hi, thanks for the idea.

I can't seem to get it to recognize my audio files even though they are mp3.

Hi, did you put them in a folder inside VAM\Custom\Sounds?

Everything works but great EXCEPT I can't get the lip sync to work with voice mp3s. I have it the box checked, and tried another girl with no other plug-ins, conflicting or otherwise... Can't figure it out!

Hi, try the new version (see update version 3). It should be solved.

Yes. Still can't seem to get it to recognize audio files. :/

It works. A simple audio player was the thing I was looking for the most.

Can you make it compatible with assetbundles aswell? These audio files load waaaaaaaaaaay faster

Also, in VR, the sound doesn't seem like it's coming from the person atom for some reason.

Hi,
Looking at the code, you have obviously fed CC licenced content to AI from this community. ( confirmed by this The MacGruber Fix in the code, and several different naming schemes that are well known amongst most prolific coders of the community )

AI coding does not mean you don't enforce licencing where it's due. Please credit people even if you only used the code and fed it to whatever LLM you are using.

On another subject, I'm gonna help you a bit for the tests : your plugin does not work.

• Settings are not saved in the scene
• Folder is not saved in the scene
• So reloading a scene fails
• No trigger is available to play the audio automatically
• No trigger is available to stop the audio
• I would highly avoid filters on audio sources (like echo) because they cut abruptly when the audio signal ends.
• And probably more...

I will be kind and welcoming as it is your first resource, so, update your code and make this a functioning plugin and maybe I'll rate it.

Just so you know, releasing a proper plugin (unless clear limitations or fully explained in the documentation) needs this to be an actual tool for players/creators :

• Plugin that saves it's data into the scene and can be restored
• Plugin that can be used as a dependency and packed into a var

Your plugin fails at both.

It seems my plugin has been appreciated more than you, so that's enough for me. I appreciate your suggestions, but not the tone of your message, so I'll update the plugin how and when I see fit.

 

[hazmhox]

Fine by me. I guess I can review it honestly then.

On the other hand, it is mandatory that you credit people properly in the release page.

@Erot79

If I had called it SUPER AudioPlayer, I would have agreed with you, but as you can see, the plugin is called SIMPLE Audio Player, and I never said it would do more than what it already does. I know and use many other plugins that don't do what you say, but that doesn't mean they're rubbish. Thanks for the review anyway, i'll try to upgrade it with at least the first 2 of yours requests.

I think you really misunderstood the goal of my report. It was to help you, and make your thing better. I don't know what is your background, but you really have to realize that your plugin is un-usable. The first comment you got on this discussion litterally says one of the thing I reported "no trigger".

You can put this however you like ( the basic mandatory save feature does not make a plugin super, nor no saving make it simple), this plugins, right now, requires the user to understand where the plugin is, open the edit window and start the music from the plugin UI. Which is NOT possible from someone who has not the creator level or any basic player who is just enjoying scenes.

The goal of a plugin is to store settings inside of the scene to let player enjoy the scene how they created it when they load it later. You really have to understand that your implementation is not useful until it does that, and if your objective is to at least, give something interesting to the community... to understand how all this works and give them a working, tested and feature complete plugin.

You were saying that "some people appreciated it more than me", clearly... people appreciating it haven't tested it properly... I can guarantee that 100%. I had reviews on my content in the past that have been posted in the 15mins of the release, which even tho I appreciate the intention, is clearly someone who has not even tested the content... they're just reviewing because they probably like my content.

My "update your code and make this a functioning plugin and maybe I'll rate it." is a bit straight forward and harsh, but the intent was just to motivate you to get an additional positive review. I spent time testing and giving you pointers instead of immediately reviewing it badly which I could have done and call it a day.

There is no reason for me to keep a negative review if you update it and support your resources. You are free to choose however you publish and manage your content, but don't be surprised that people will give actual honest feedback which obviously does not always align with "what you think is a proper plugin". Usability drives reviews... not what you expect/think your plugin is.

Finally, all the above this is from a friendly creator perspective. From a moderator perspective, you've been dodging twice the credit problem I've been mentionning. Please, once again, you have a mandatory obligation to enforce licencing on your content properly. Add the proper credits to your release page, thank you.
