SuhWeeT! I want SB in my empeg.
Has anybody tried this yet? Is there some piece of software that could perhaps extract the sounds out of the Strong Bad Clock?

What's the sexiest voice to use with TTS Clock and is there any way to get it to speak the time other than at Ingition, what would be cool is a button in my car that fires TTS Clock (stops the music, speaks the time starts the music) I guess I could ask my Girlfriend to record some custom voice files, has anybody done that?

Can it be done more elegantly than getting SB to say the time 71 times for each 'mood' and then do .wav file editing? Mr. Bad may let use use the sounds if we ask really nicely...

Well he IS a member here... Shouldn't be too tough to get him in the studio to record some samples...

I have 90% of the sbemails in MP3 format on my empeg, but I think we'd be hard pressed to get good clock-worthy samples from them...

Everyone laffs at me now that my car radio says

"All Automotive systems are nominal. All Clear. Prepare To Drive" after it says the time and date.

Yep,

initially had TTS Clock installed on 2.0/Hijack334, upgraded to 3.0a3 and tossed the latest Hijack (340) onto that - works fine.

Hmm, hijack still works with the v3 alphas? I thought we where supposed to get upgraded to a 2.4 kernel (with ext3 support and updated drivers) as part of 3.0. Did that not make it?

Not sure what the plan was/is, or what's hidden below (haven't had time to look very much at it), but Hijack 340 works fine with 3.0a3, just as Mark said at the meet.

This is a great add on, now running hi-jack 3.40, 2.00, and the TTS r7. Nearly pulled my hair out as it wouldn't work, but then decided to open my eye and read the DEVELOPER version is needed. All sorted now though, as like everyone else with it, i'm looking for sound files.
What about Knight Rider Kit??

'Good Morning Michael'

I already added a small thingie to the script to play random voice files on start up. it's quite nice.

cool..... anything you would consider posting on the ttsclock page?... I have some cool movie sounds that would be perfect to have just before the time telling part...

edit: sorry JeepBastard... somehow i thought you were the original author of the ttsClock..... anyways.... anything you would like to release to the public?

just add a line to ttsclock script such as

cat /drive0/var/tts/start.pcm | /drive0/var/pcmplay

where start.pcm is the audio file you want to play after the time starts. you do it more elegantly, I'll post the one that selects a random audio file later today. I added as an atttachment to this post the one i use that I like a lot as an example.


Attachments
169945-start.pcm (149 downloads)

cool.... thanks.... allthough.... your attachment didnt work.... I would really like to see the random script..... how you´ve done it....
I thought about it earlier today.... And I guess you have done so that I have to declare all PCM´s that I want randomized?...
No automatic searchstrings or something like that?...
I have quite alot of files that I would like to get randomized... But then again... I have to convert all of them to 44,1 kbps i guess? and I also have to convert them from wav to pcm.... bummer.... but what the hell..... What wouldnt I do to hear quotes from conan the barbarian every time I reboot the player...=)

I used to have start up sounds a while ago before I made the TTS Clock script. If you just want a single start up sound you can add a hijack config.ini entry like this (assuming you have TTS Clock installed which installed pcmplay for you):
;@EXEC_ONCE /drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/var/startupsound.pcm


For random sounds, you can create a bash script like this:

#!/bin/sh
number=$RANDOM
let "number %= 7"
case "$number" in
'0')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/shortcircuit.pcm
;;
'1')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/welcome.pcm
;;
'2')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/playgame.pcm
;;
'3')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/homeranykey.pcm
;;
'4')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/homer7dohs.pcm
;;
'5')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/hal9000.pcm
;;
'6')
/drive0/var/pcmplay < /drive0/startup/butthead.pcm
;;
esac

Save the bash script as a unix style text file, give it permissions, and also call it from a config.ini entry.

Also if you do this, it would be a pretty good idea to run setvol from the config.ini before any of the custom sounds, as you probably don't want the volume to be 0 or 100%:
;@EXEC_ONCE /drive0/var/setvol

Heads up...TTSClock StrongBad files. I couldn't do anything about the date unless someone has the date wavs. I think you'll like it just the same.

Install TTSClock per the original instructions and before resetting to RO
Move the PCM files from the zip to your drive0\var\tts directory and the ttsclock file to drive0\var\ directory
reset to RO

This will replace the original am, pm, thetimeis, and ttsclock files.

Let me know if you get it working. I had a heck of time editing the file.

Ahh, thank you. I'll get around to installing this once I track down my box of cables in the garage.

Moving sucks. At least now I don't have to worry about moving again for a long while.
