The Text-To-Speech and keyboard hooks are Windows only, thus this program compiles and works properly only on Windows.

Features

• Global keyboard hotkeys for sounds (limited to only one key per sound)
• In-memory playback. No separate files are stored on disk
• Memory caching. The original file is accessed only once
• Source Engine chat commands
• Whitelist and blacklist (or just whitelist if everyone is blacklisted)
• Audio queue
• Video downloader and converter
• Text-To-Speech using SAPI

Issues

• User interface elements render slowly and flicker. This is an issue with the graphics library itself.
• There might be crashes.

Requirements

1. A virtual audio cable (Virtual-Audio-Cable or VB-Audio Cable)

   • Follow this, the text tutorial or find another tutorial to install the drivers.
   • You may need to disable "Driver Signature Enforcement" during the installation process.

2. An audio directory (it is searched recursively)

   • It will be used by the program to play tracks and download videos.

3. ^Optional A log file within your Source Engine game using the con_logfile <file> command or the -condebug launch option

   • This is for the log watching feature, which allows interaction with the application using the game's chat.
   • You can use an autoexec.cfg file for easier management.

4. ^Optional yt-dlp and ffmpeg binaries for video downloading and conversion

The "fixes" folder

It contains changes made to the following packages :

1. gosamplerate

   • The Process() method now returns the underlying array instead of allocating memory for each audio chunk.

2. gosndfile

   • All VirtualIo function fields now work properly and don't crash.

3. ui - forked from here

   • Added proper menu support from this fork (which seems to be identical to and predated by this fork).
   • Added resizing support from here, alongside the missing resize callback function.
   • Added fullscreen support.

Compiling

You will need :

• A C compiler for CGO. I have used this one (only msvcrt builds work).
• libsndfile and libsamplerate.

Credits

• STARK - I've used it for a long time, but it was half broken and used the disk to write raw audio data.
