Hi im not too familiar with coding in .bat files just in general i havent done coding in a long time not since my school days. Anyways ive GOT a batch file running that basically hosts a dedicated server for a game i play at the time being and since the games is still being developed theres some things that havent been put in yet.
Right well the batch file i have runs the dedicated server and people are connecting fine etc, i have it on a timer which restarts the server every so often, ive also managed to GET it to pop out a message but the issue is i cant get it to play a sound with it nothing spectacular of a sound just a sound which will get my attention so i know when the server will restart so therefore i can tell players on the server to log out before server automatically restarts? if anyone knows the coding for this it would be much appreciated thanks.

p.s i can also post the coding for the batch file i have at the moment if needed, could do with some opinions and tweaks etc cheers Here is a solution I had squirreled away from a post on a web site:

Code: [Select]echo off
set "file=c:\Windows\Media\Windows Shutdown.wav"
( echo Set Sound = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7"^)
  echo Sound.URL = "%file%"
  echo Sound.Controls.play
  echo do while Sound.currentmedia.duration = 0
  echo wscript.sleep 100
  echo loop
  echo wscript.sleep (int(Sound.currentmedia.duration^)+1^)*1000
) >"%temp%\sound.vbs"
start "" /min "%temp%\sound.vbs"
how would i IMPLEMENT that into this?

:loop
echo (%time%) Loot Resetting...
start /high Unturned.exe -nographics -pei -bambi -nosync -pve -port:25444 -pass:razorpanda -players:24 -sv
echo (%time%) Loot Reset.
echo (%time%) Server is online.
echo (%time%) Loot Resetting in 2 hours.
timeout /t 5400 >null
echo (%time%) Loot Resetting in 15 seconds
timeout /t 15 >null
echo msgbox "Server Restart 15 secs" > %tmp%\tmp.vbs
wscript %tmp%\tmp.vbs
del %tmp%\tmp.vbs
echo (%time%) Server is ONLINE! Watching for crash...
start sndvol.exe
start /high Unturned.exe -nographics -pei -bambi -nosync -pve -port:25444 -pass:razorpanda -players:24 -sv
echo (%time%) Server CRASHED/CLOSED. Restarting...

taskkill /f /im "Unturned.exe"

goto loop

thats my coding for the server i host though im trying to tweak it so that the button doesnt reset the server only warns me that theres 5 minutes etc and the sound to be played when the message pops outalso i tried changing the sound from shutdown to tada but it doesnt play?
nvm got it to change.
Ive got it to work in my own coding but just wondering if i can increase the volume ?

BTW MANY MANY THANKS cant emphasis how much this has helped Quote from: razorpanda on July 28, 2014, 08:43:19 AM

oh ok thanks my systems volumes at max but the windows sound is still fairly quiet for the pop up meh its cool but again many many thanks

Try a different sound file - some are recorded at lower level - and you can normalize the sound file with the free Audacity.

OTOH are your computer sounds normally low in volume?
