Help! A shard didn't play?!
Make sure you have all requirements installed and updated, and make sure that you have a shard audio pack installed. This framework does not include audio files by itself! It expects you to choose a shard audio pack.
If you have all of the above requirements installed, and still can't play a shard, do the following:
-
[]Open your phone.
[
]Open text message conversation with Shardamain.[]Send it "Give me the deets", and Shardamain will reply with the LocKey# of the missing audio file to identify it.
[]Notify the mod author of your chosen shard audio pack of the missing LocKey#, or make a audio file yourself! You can find the text for the shard either through Shardamain, or in WolvenKit's LocKey Browser. The number corresponds to the primary key of the LocKey.
Directions for mod authors:
Thanks to Audioware, making a Shard Audio Pack is incredibly simple (but very monotonous given the number of shards). Just follow the directions here: https://cyb3rpsych0s1s.github.io/audioware/GETTING-STARTED.html, defining your manifest and putting all of your audio files into your folder. The names/ids of the files should be in the following format:
LocKey#6222:
pl-pl: ./6222.mp3
en-us: ./6222.mp3
es-es: ./6222.mp3
fr-fr: ./6222.mp3
it-it: ./6222.mp3
de-de: ./6222.mp3
es-mx: ./6222.mp3
kr-kr: ./6222.mp3
zh-cn: ./6222.mp3
ru-ru: ./6222.mp3
pt-br: ./6222.mp3
jp-jp: ./6222.mp3
zh-tw: ./6222.mp3
ar-ar: ./6222.mp3
cz-cz: ./6222.mp3
hu-hu: ./6222.mp3
tr-tr: ./6222.mp3
th-th: ./6222.mp3
usage: streaming
The name/id for each shard must strictly follow "LocKey#xxxxx" like above, with the number matching a Lo
