Overview

I felt there needed to be a comprehensive jukebox control script. This script allows you to replicate all of the commands in the basic jukebox and then some via chat commands or a user interface that displays within chat. The script allows playlist functionality by importing all tracks and playlists from Jukebox into Roll20AM. There's an ability to create up to 4 dynamic playlists (called Tags) from individual tracks so you don't have to go back and manipulate Jukebox and import again into Roll20AM. The in-game help has been disabled for the time being because of the new User Interface, which makes building help around the UI a challenge.

The User Interface

The UI is designed so once you are in it, you won't have to execute Roll20AM commands. However, because dice rolls and player chats can fill up the chat window it's always handy to have a macro with !roll20AM --config ready to go to bring it back up.

Configuration Menu

Master Volume - Click on the volume level to set another default volume. This updates all playlists and tracks. Master volume is the loudness (0-100) that a track will start playing at.
Fade Time - Click on the seconds to set another default. This updates all playlists and tracks to the new fade time. Fade time is the number of seconds to fade in or fade out tracks.
Delayed - Click on the seconds to set another Delayed time. This updates all playlists and tracks. Delayed is the number of seconds to wait before anything is done with a track.
Playlists - Brings up the Playlists Menu, which shows all playlists you have defined in Jukebox.
Tracks - Brings up the Tracks Menu, which shows all tracks you have in Jukebox. If you have a lot of tracks, this menu can be a challenge to use
Tags - Brings up the Tags Menu, which shows 4 Tags (Tag 1 through Tag 4). Tags are "dynamic" playlists that enable you to assign any number of tracks into one of the 4 tags
Stop All Tracks - Stops audio for all tracks across all playlists
Import Jukebox - Brings in all Playlists from Jukebox, assigns all tracks in those Jukebox playlists to the Playlists in Roll20AM and brings in all other tracks that may not be assigned to Jukebox Playlists
Remove All - Cleans out Roll20AM by removing all playlists and tracks from Roll20AM. This does not affect Jukebox. Use this when you make a lot of changes to your Jukebox Playlists. This is also needed when there is a schema change in Roll20AM. Check Schema version at the top of the script.

Audio Master Controls

Playlist or Tag Name - click on it to view the tracks assigned to the Playlist or Tag
Volume - clicking on the current volume level brings up a roll query where you can enter a new volume. This volume will be applied to the playlist and all tracks in the playlist. It does not change the volume of tracks that are playing
Fade Time - click on the number of seconds brings up a roll query where you can enter a new fade time (in seconds). This is applied to all tracks in the playlist/tag, if clicked there, or to an individual track, if clicked there. Fade time is used to determine time it takes to fade in and fade out a track
Delayed Time - click on the number of seconds to bring up a roll query where can enter a new delayed time (in seconds). This is applied to all tracks in the playlist/tag, if clicked there, or to an individual track, if clicked there. Delayed time determines the number of seconds to wait until the next Roll20AM action is taken.
Play/Stop Button - click on play to start the track. The playlist will turn green to show it's running and a stop button will appear to stop the playlist whenever you wish. Click on the stop button to stop the track. The playlist will turn back to red to show it's stopped and the play button will appear to start it again
Fade In/Fade Out Button - click on this to fade in the track. The sound will gradually increase from 0 to the current track volume based on the Fade Time. The playlist will turn from red to green to show it's running and the fade out button will display. Click the fade out button to fade out the track
Decrease Volume - click on this once or multiple times to reduce the volume of the track. If the track is playing, it will reduce the volume of the playing track

Using the Script

Basic Syntax

The contents of a command will change based on what you are doing, but the basic format will always look like this:
!roll20AM - case sensitive and all commands must start with this
Actions (must come after !roll20AM and preceeded by --, for example, --audio or --edit or --config

• --audio - starts all audio related activities (play/stop, fade, etc)
• --edit - starts all edit activities (changes volume, fade time, etc)
• --config - displays menus or imports jukebox into Roll20AM or removes everything from Roll20AM
  

Commands - play,stop,fade,in,out,increase,decrease are a small list of sample commands
| - all commands must have a '|' character at the end. This is required. Everything after the '|' will be a comma delimited lists of Playlists, Tags, Tracks or any combination and must match the name of the Playlist, Tag, or Track. You can also not provide anything after the '|' in some cases

Example:

• !roll20AM --audio,play|Wind

Audio Commands

play - starts a track using the tracks current volume
stop - stops a track that is playing. If no Playlists, Tags or Tracks follow the '|', then it will stop all Playlists, Tags or Tracks
