Hello:
This file is being written to help you set up your sounds (wav's and mid's) in Pirch

There are 4 phases and I will try to make this as easy as possible.

Phase 1
Pirch right now will only look in one Directory (folder) for sounds. So whatever you
want to hear while in Pirch The files must be in that place. so the first step is to put all
the ones you want in one Directory. Do that now.
*** NOTE: You will want to create a New Folder in your main Pirch directory named:  sounds
so the path to that folder will look like:  c:\pirch32\sounds\  
then move all sound files you want Pirch to play to that new folder. ***

******************************************************************************

Phase 2
Now you must tell Pirch where they are, where they will be gotten from when you send them
and where to put them after you receive them. 

a) First: go to Prefs\Media (or Sounds) and fill in the directory where your sounds 
are: for instance C:\pirch32\sounds\
b) In to PREFS | MEDIA and make sure sound is enabled (put a check in the box)
c) Second: go to  PREFS | DCC and fill in where the files will be uploaded from and 
downloaded to: for instance: Default Upload Directory is: C:\pirch32\sounds\  and
Default upload Directory is: C:\pirch32\sounds\
* * * *  Please notice that in both instances the end of the Directory has a \ closing it
* * *   This must be there or it will not work. You must have your actual Directory also * * * *  

**********************************************************************************

Phase 3: For this part to work you must be connected to a Server and on a channel. 
It can be #YourNameChannel

Now Click on Media to go to Media Player. When you click on it either a dialog box 
with a Scroll Bar will appear that says "No Files Queued" (if you get this click on 
the down arrow to the right), or you will see one with a line at the top that 
reads "Unitialized". When you see this one you should click on the arrow to the 
right and select All Sounds. A list of the sounds you have in the file should appear. 
Select one and then click on the bar that says Play locally. 
The sound should play  just for you.  I would recommend not playing to the channel
until after the auto-send get in Phase 4 is done, however.


**********************************************************************************

Phase 4: Setting it up for others to get your sounds and for you to get their sounds:
These are the Basic sound line setups for fresh Pirch's:
a) Go to Events and click on Unknown to be certain you are working here (little box to the 
left of the 000 should have x in it, also make sure that the Events window has an x in the 
lower right corner of the window thats says "Enabled" *** these x's are very important!)
b) The right upper pane (Level User List) should have this and only this in it:  *!*@*
c) Add the following four lines in the lower pane (it is better if you paste them):

ON NOSOUND:*.*:#:/notice $nick !DCCSEND $filename
ON TEXT:!YourNick*:#:/dcc send $nick $soundpath $+ $2 $+
ON NOTICE:!DCCSEND*:*:/dcc send $nick $soundpath $+ $2 $+
ON DCCDONE:*.wav;*.mid;*.mod;*.avi:/playmedia $filename

d) Make sure the little boxs have their x's in them!
e) You will also need to alter the !YourNick*  to match your own nick name.  
f)Line 1 will auto request a sound if you do not have it.  Sounds can take up
a lot of space quickly  you can turn this off by putting a Semi-Colon  ; 
in front of the command line.  This command is for users with Pirch. 
MIRC and other chat programs use different methods of asking for sounds.  See the 
events below for grabbing sounds from them.
g)Lines 2 and 3 will send files you play to people who do not have them so
that they can hear what you played.
h)Line 4 will play sounds sent to you as soon as the transfer finishes. 

To know when someone plays a sound you have put this line in the Events\000-Unknown:
ON SOUND:*.*:#:/display > $activewin \-11 \-3 Sound: \-3 \-2 \-31 $filename played by $nick \-2 \-31

It will also work to display your own sounds on the screen

*****************************************************************

That is all you should now be able to play sounds for your own and the pleasure of 
your fellow channel users and send and retrieve them also. 

Now back to Media to test it. Select a sound you want to play.
When you want to tell the people on the channel what sound you are playing type 
the name in the black line on the very bottom. Type its name and whatever message you want. 
For instance: This is Celebrte.wav for Jill's promotion. (Please note: if you cannot 
see this last line your display is more than likely setup for Large Fonts. In order 
for this to show it must be set for Small Fonts. You would have to reset it in 
Windows\Control Panel and then reboot. Do not do this now unless you want to close
Pirch. You shut down your computer when you re-boot)

When you play it you should get notices from others requesting you to send them the 
sound and your computer should automatically send it.

ENJOY!!!!!!

If you have problems come back to #pirch on the Undernet and we will help you.

For someone using MIRC to get your sounds you use this line:
Note the Pirch and Mirc line cannot be active at the same time

ON TEXT:!yourNick*:#:/dcc send $nick c:\YourDirectory\ $+ $parm2
Change yourNick to your nickname, and YourDirectory where you keep sounds
For instance ON TEXT:!hillclint*:#:/dcc send $nick c:\pirch32\sounds\ $+ $parm2
