Hasn't anyone ever wanted their mud client to play random mp3s triggered by events/locations? I'd love to be able to hear Orbital's Desert Storm upon entering the wilderness of Zalanthas, for example. Why hasn't anything like this been invented yet?

You can do this in ZMud, rather easily.

On another MUD, I had a whole slew of sounds that would trigger on certain events:

For example:

-Whenever I lit a torch, I had a .wav of the Firebat from Starcraft saying "Need a light?"

-Whenever I failed a craft, I had a .wav of Homer saying "D'oh!"

-Whenever I caught someone sneaking in or out of the room, I had a .wav of some "tiptoe-sneaking" xylophone music.

-Whenever something dangerous entered the room, I had a .wav of the robot from Lost in Space saying "Danger Will Robinson, danger!"

...and on and on. The sound triggers are super easy to whip up. Unfortunately, I only use GMud for Armageddon, because all the bells and whistles on ZMud are too distracting.

A while ago i was experimenting with a sound effect scheme for combat, where misses would sound like empty-aired strikes and hits would sound appropriate to the weapon. I also had a trigger for knocking, unlocking doors, and opening doors. It was neat...

...until I forgot about it after about 3 months of a break from arm, had my headphones on after my album had finished...all quiet...logged into arm...opened a door...and -- CCCREEEAAAAAK!!! -- shat myself.

"SMACK MY BITCH UP!!!" By prodigy comes on.

Edited to add: Either that or some Cannibal Corpse before you throw yourself into a mosh pit.

I have audible cues for when I am disarmed or knocked over, and a few others. But usually when I Arm I have a steady stream of music playing anyway.

Found some great arma music. I'm currently seeding, and will be for the rest of the evening.

If you're torrent-savvy, I urge you to check it out.
