I need help with BlueVision V0.2 Startup Sound

[Emeere]

I'm pretty new to Rainmeter, so how do I make it so that it plays the desired sound each time I open Rainmeter?

Current File text reads as follows:

Code: Select all

;#####################################################################################
;#####################################################################################
;#####################################################################################

[Rainmeter]

Author=g3xter

;////////////////////////////////////////
;  STARTUP SOUND
;////////////////////////////////////////

;////////////////////////////////////////
;  STARTUP SOUND MEASURE
;////////////////////////////////////////


[MeasureTimeM]
Measure=Time
Format="%M"
Update=1
OnRefreshAction:play "#CURRENTPATH#WELCOME BACK.wav"

;////////////////////////////////////////
;  DEBUG METER
;////////////////////////////////////////

[DebugMeter]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=0
W=1
H=1
SolidColor=0, 0, 0, 0

What am I doing wrong?

Update=1
OnRefreshAction:play "#CURRENTPATH#WELCOME BACK.wav"

OnRefreshAction=play "#CURRENTPATH#WELCOME BACK.wav"

Update does nothing on a measure. http://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/update-guide

Oh okay, That will fix the issue then? I'm really new to this, as in, just got it today.

I changed the designated text, but it still dosen't work. What exactly should the file say? :c I hate to be a bother.

[jsmorley]

Sorry, I should have looked past the obvious typo...

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
OnRefreshAction=[Play "#CURRENTPATH#WELCOME BACK.wav"]

[MeasureTimeM]
Measure=Time
Format="%M"

I don't know what the time measure is being used for later, but in any case, the OnRefreshAction option always and only goes in the [Rainmeter] section of the skin.

uhm.... can you post the whole codes or much better the ini file for this ... im looking for this thing for years ... i want that sounds on my startup too ....

to put

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=[Play "path\to\file.wav"]

into the [Rainmeter] section is the whole code.

[benjcarl]

i still cant understand what to do .. >.<

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
OnRefreshAction=[Play "C:\Users\benjcarl\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\WELCOME BACK.wav"]

is this the only needed..

sorry for noob things >.<

[moshi]

if you want to add a "startup" sound to an existing skin then to put

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=[Play "path\to\file.wav"]

into the [Rainmeter] section is the whole code


if you want to create an additional skin that only plays a sound that skin should look like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=-1
OnRefreshAction=[Play "path\to\file.wav"]
[blah]
Meter=String

if you want to play a startup sound when Windows starts, there is no need to use Rainmeter for that. do a google search for startup sound (insert your operating system here)
