Motion Tracker - Just like in Aliens®

These are tools and utilities that make it easier to run games. This includes Lib: macro tokens dropped into MapTool to manage the game, a conversion file for CharacterTool to allow use in MapTool, or just about anything else you can think of -- except graphics with macros and anything specific to a particular campaign framework. Those are already covered by the Tilesets subforum and the Links and External Resources forum.

Currently the default sound is a low-key tak...tak...tak... The higher frequency and more rapid ping ping ping is quite annoying due to its urgency when it constantly playing at you.

The sound does get louder when there are objects within half of the detection range. I think I set it to 0.2 base with an exponential curve to 1 at range 0.

Playing the audio to all players would be doable but will have to wait until later this week if I find the time.

Do you play the sound from an online source? I know there is a way to reference an "audio" token, but I don't' think you've done that. Or is there some other way you accomplished this?

I suspect he doesn't check forums very often. You may want to send a DM to him.

I would also try to provide more information so the issue can be duplicated.
