I know I should know this by now,but I will ask anyway.
When I ssm and bust the swath makes a weird sound to let me know I busted.Anyone know how to turn it off?Its really annoying.
Thanks

Haven't tried it, but there's a "User alert settings" box on the General tab of the "SWATH Preferences" window. You can choose between Information, Warning, Error, and None as well as enable "Play alert sound" or not. Should be what you're looking for.

DC.

Guess I should say what version I am useing.1.6.6
I know there is a new one,but I didnt like it at all.

Bump.
Still havent figured out how to get the noise to stop.

I doubt that any one here will have the answer. I didn't know about SWATH until the end of the v3.x.x series. And I've been using it ever since.

I do have a question for your, along with a comment to make.

Why didn't you ask your question on the SWATH Support Forums? Is it because you do not think that Stein would give you the answer you need? Or is it because you do not have a legal copy of SWATH?

I ask this because I have seen Stein give support even to those using v3.x.x. (Which is the most pirated version of SWATH.) Although he does recommend to those people, that they upgrade to the latest version.


Now for my comment. Although you never stated specifically why you do not like the newer version of SWATH. There are many reasons why you should get the newest version. But, I'll only give three:

reason 1: v1.6.6 has many bugs in it that were corrected in later versions of SWATH.
reason 2: v1.6.6 will not work with any of the current versions of TWGS/TW2002, as in last 3 years. I think that v1.6.6 will only work with the original DOOR version of the game. Like v1.xx, v2.xxb and v3.xx before TWGS.
reason 3: Over the years there has been many changes to TW2002. Many of those changes were made to the game messages and prompts. Even if Older versions of SWATH seem to work with current TWGS/TW2002 systems. They will not work properly. This is because they are looking for specific messages/prompts from the game. And they are looking for specific sequences of messages/prompts. In order for it to know what is going on, and to be able to store vital game information.

Well to answer your questions, I don't have a good answer, I never really paid much attention to it.

As to Wabbit's comment, I'm utterly confused. Considering 1.7 only came out in the last 6 months, and 1.6.6 was the commonly used Swath version, I have no clue why it wouldnt' work with current TW2002 (considering I used it after 1.7 came out).

So you can continue using 1.6.6, but Wabbit is correct in checking on Swath forum.

Well, I have a regged version of SWATH and have asked why the application suddenly closes out without cause. I sent the question in a a direct message to SWATH Support and never received an answer - possible that a spam filter took out their reply. The problem exists in the latest version of SWATH, and I never had it happen in the previous version. When SWATH closes, TWX remains connected - fire SWATH back up and you are back in the game -- no macros though so you have to exit the game and come back in so SWATH can get the specific messages that you just mentioned.

The latest version of SWATH has nice features, but losing your window during an attack, and having to restart SWATH is not a good thing.

"A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

I think 1.6.6 will continue to work with newest version of TWGS, but of course may be misinformed.

@Wildstar Wabbit is correct either pose the question on the SWATH Support or ask Stein via email, the answer posted previously (I would have thought) works. You may have not liked 1.7, but 1.7.1 fixed (released about a week later?) some stuff. Much of the stuff STEIN modified moving from 1.6.6 to 1.7 messed up features (corrected in 1.7.1). It is possible when fixing something, the fix messed up the alert sound, STEIN would know, and if it is messed up, whould fix it. I know you are a big TWX user and 1.7.1 does work easier with TWX (just FYI).
@Wabbit He is using a registered copy (not calling you out, I just happen to know from past contact with him). Many times I have had to ask Stein and/or other SWATH users how to do stuff, since the ways I was used to using had changed. I am just guessing here, but he is probably used to SOMEONE knowing the answer "How Do I..." on his IM Contact List, I do not recall seeing him post often in the SWATH Forum, and he may not know of it...

I do have a reg copy and to be totally honest,i thought I would faster reply here,which i did.
I use 1.6.1 because I was utterly displeased with the new swath.So I used what I like
I also think I have some new info.When I have no client hooked to the twx,no sound when i bust.But I hook up swath,zoc,even telnet,i get it,so it might not be swath.
Dumb Wildstar as usual.
I emailed xide asking him about it and I will post here if he can clear it up.
Thanks

Change your User Level Alert under the Options menu - setting it to Error or None should turn off the warning.

i apologize in advance if i sound like a male shovinest pig
but i just couldnt let this go buy with out saying.

Trade Wars Helpers & Scripts
Swath Question
I would say this is a good place to ask your question WildStar.
I have been a electionics enginer for 26 years.
and i hate to say this BUT,i have never had a woman ever have the
right answer, or was totaly wrong. and ive had a few try to help!
example: called SBC yahoo broadband, to ask a Q: about mail server.
i was told by this woman tech, oh no i cant recive pop3 mail
on more than 1 system. i told her i was doing it!, and she said
how could I, SBC yahoo dont have the equip to do that. i sure she
have always done mail web based, and never setup OUTLOOK Express
witch is the #1 mail server client out there.
and to have Wabbit basicly hinting you prirate your softwear,
and your afraid to get help from stein,to me is an insult.

Sorry Wabbit but after reading your post, i just had to say somthing!

What makes you think The Wabbit is a female? I think he's an electronics engineer. [:P]

Back to the thread... I believe that Wildstar has determined that this isn't a SWATH problem... which leaves me utterly baffled. If his PC is making the sound when using Windows' telnet client, then it kinda has to be TWX. He gets the problem running SupG's WorldSSM, which has no sound, or at least the one in The Package (.ts version) doesn't. Nor do the includes. Any one else use this script? And do you hear a sound on busts?

+EP+

I don't know, I hven't been able to get SupG's stuff to fully work on my setup. and I have his include file installed where everyone told me to, I get about 80% of it working okay, at least the scripts that I use the most work, and that is okay for me, but no, no sounds on mine.

Vulcan

Your right, i dont know if Wabbit male or female, went by name and avitar. look likes a female to me.
and YES i do get ding sound too with a couple diff scripts. notised
it after i upgraded to 1.7X SWATH
but it dont bother me like it does wildster i guess.[xx(]



P.S. looked in members list and Wabbit does not specify a gender!
