I have an idea for an extension to ansi music...
CSI | [x###] [r###] u... 0x0a 0x0b

where x is the channel # to use default 1 ...
r if present will repeat the sound ### times (default 1, 0 is keep repeating...)
and u is the url to snag the resource/file

example:
CSI | x1 r0 uhttp://..../bg_intro.mp3 0x0a 0x0b

to clear a channel playing...
CSI | x1 0x0a 0x0b

this way more elaborate situations could be raised... have channel 0 only cache the file in question... I think mp3 support may be needed, but have issues re: copyright, but afaik, playback has been okayd, it's only the encoding that seems to be encumbered.

I was thinking on this only because I was thinking that it would be cool to have flashplayer support music somehow, but given the format, ansi music as it is now wouldn't fly well..

Imagine LORD with battle sounds... you're in the forrest, main bg music for the forrest... you look for something to kill, different sound plays for each character... death sounds etc.. I think it'd be pretty damned cool myself.

Just a thought in any case, and wanted to run it by you.. will probably do it this way for flashterm.

Also: What do you think of having an iCE color mode, makes blink behave the same as bright, but for the background color.

You can't play a given sound at a given rate? I know I've seen frash stuff do custom tones.

Honestly? I think that making "Blink" mean "High intensity background" is pretty silly.

All the iCE packs I saw didn't use that.

I think it's prety silly too. unfortunately you are mistaken about that.

they set a screenmode so the ansi characters were not blinking, and were able to use different background colors.

All the iCE packs I saw didn't use that.

maybe you should download some more, because that was pretty popular in several ansi groups.

Hi cool idea about the like MOD music over ANSI. I'm not sure what you're talking about but I've seen a program that changes that blink bit back to the 4th bit for the background colour so you can have high-intensity backgrounds in text mode which is cool to see. In say Linux I'm pretty sure you have both, at least in say framebuffer mode.

OK bye

What the hell? Trust me, I do indeed think that making blink mean high intensity background is pretty silly. There is no way that I am mistaken on that point.

That's not ANSI. The ANSI characers are parsed and the specific sequences we are talking about is ESC5m and ESC6m which tell the terminate to cause text to blinck slowly (less than 150 per minute) and blink quickly (more than 150 per minute) respectively.

This is part of a great number of standards, including the ANSI one. If someone were to use CCITT reccomendation T.416 to make ESC48m perform that function, it would be fine... or adding some private use code to do so would also be fine.

Otherwise, you're clearly telling the remote terminal to cause text to blink but with the assumption that it will not blink. This is from the same class of stupid as using ESC[M for "ANSI" music - idiots making broken "extensions" by abusing existing well defined sequences.
