Midnight Rambling about RIP and FX System

How the FX System Works:

The FX System uses the simplest of RIP 2 commands to take advantage of the Sound Capabilities of RIPterm 2.x. By adding those commands to RIP Screens or the *RIP.DAT files of exiting RIP games anyone using RIPterm (or RIPtel) 2.x needs only to have the FXWAVES in the same directory as their rip icons to hear sound in LORD or any of the various FX Add-Ons.

"Wiring" Your BBS with FX Sound:

The simplest way you can "wire" your BBS for sound is to simply use one of the FX System Add-Ons to your system and make the FXWAVES.ZIP available for download. (You should also try and have RIPterm 2.x available for download for users who would like to give it a try). If you'd like to customize your Logins and Menus to use FX Sound keep reading...

How to Add Custom FX:

It is VERY EASY to customize ANY RIP Screen to use FX Sound and/or Create your own "Library" of Sounds for your own System!

To add any FX Wave or any wave of your own choosing to an existing RIP screen simply open the *.RIP with any text editor and add this line to the beginning of the RIP screen:

!|1w0000filename.wav

To use your own sounds simply insert the filename of YOUR *.wav and make it available for users to download. You should be careful that the *.wav isn't too large, I've found the "ideal" size for the best performance is 50k or less. You can also use multiple waves in a single RIP by inserting the same type of line virtually anywhere in the rip on a line by itself where the next line begins with !|(it doesn't matter what comes after). But you should be aware that the last wave will silence the previous wave if it is still playing.
