New Sound Tag

Space Goat · 12:20 AM

A new sound tag has been added to provide support to more browsers.

Internet Explorer still behaves the same way, and uses the ActiveX controls provided with Windows Media Player.

If you use any other browser, the quicktime plugin will be used, assuming you have quicktime installed on your computer. If you do not, then a simple link is displayed, much like you had before.

New Tag: "SND"

Demo:

Special thanks to Travis Wells for writing this script.

Thank FUCK! FINALLY, I can use/hear sounds without hitting the quote button and copying/pasting.

Thank you Goat.

I will work on a way to change all the current snd2 tags to snd, and then get rid of that old tag.

Shut up, n00b.

Edit: I swear that said 'Test Account', and I was making a funny

Oh, and this is awesome by the way - works without a problem

Dyer, Quicktime not working properly.

Demented Ferret · 12-09-2005, 12:57 AM

Go into quicktime and make sure you set the MIME settings properly to work with audio and stuff.

Lord Blazer · 12-09-2005, 01:02 AM

There we go.

Kieran McIlwain · 12-09-2005, 03:47 AM

<3 Goat - Quicktime rocks.

Raz · 12-10-2005, 06:29 PM

Yeah this is much better. Thanks Space Face.

Thrik · 12-10-2005, 07:42 PM

Awesome.

You should make it so that it doesn't display for OSX-based browsers, though.

Travis Wells · 12-10-2005, 07:47 PM

Doesn't? Why would we turn it off for OS X browsers?

Space Goat · 12-10-2005, 07:52 PM

To annoy Will, of course.

Slime · 12-10-2005, 08:06 PM

Awesome!! Thanks Travis!!!!

Brimz · 12-10-2005, 08:09 PM

This is wonderful, thanks guys.

Day of Glory.

Notch Johnson · 12-13-2005, 05:21 AM

so..uh, can you get it to convert the snd2 tags to these soon? because my safari-using ass still can't hear the sounds

Top stuff!

Space Goat · 08:24 PM

My complete disgust and utter disdain for all things QuickTime has caused me to re-write this bbcode tag. It now prefers to use the WMP plugin over QuickTime, assuming your browser supports it. So, QuickTime is now only used when the WMP plugin is not available.

Hopefully this will fix most of the performance issues people were having with the QuickTime plugin. I know it fixed mine.

QuickTime sucks.

Raz · 12-26-2005, 12:39 AM

Well, I ain't no technical person but it's working for me.

Pirate Balloon · 12-27-2005, 05:13 PM

Get in there, the quicktime version wasn't working for me.

James McCloud · 12-28-2005, 01:02 AM

Haha, British slang sounds so weird over the internet.
