breadweb / extralife-helper Goto Github PK

First off, I've been using the helper for my events for five or six years—thank you for making such a helpful, customizable tool!

With milestones being integrated into donation pages for the last couple of years, it would be really nice to include the next milestone in the rotation of things which can show up on the tracker, similar to the Extra Life and CMNH logos displaying every so often. I attempted to implement it myself last year, but I ran into some hurdles and didn't figure it out. A notification when the milestone is reached would be an added bonus!

I am not sure if it was by design but putting in multiple custom sounds in the ExtraLifeHelper.html file causes all sounds listed to play at the same time on donation.

Currently, the goal under our Extra Life Helper badge displays "$NaN" as the dollars raised for the team:

The team is for Tech Valley Game Space. We're not sure why we get these results. The configuration is as follows:

Hey, is there any chance you could share a brief set of instructions on how to set up Philips Hue lights to flash (or change to a random color, or whatever) when you receive a donation? I cannot seem to find a way to do so via IFTTT.

Helper appears to be designed for a fixed aspect ratio of 12:5 (WIDTH_ORIGINAL = 264, HEIGHT_ORIGINAL = 110). That can be fine if it's going to be inserted as a small element of a larger scene, but I was looking to use Helper to be the sole content on a standard 16:9 HDTV screen. I tried increasing HEIGHT_ORIGINAL, which did increase the height of the background rectangle, but the content within the rectangle did not move so it appeared to be aligned to the top which wasn't very pleasing. Perhaps a simple solution could be that the content would be centered vertically within the available space, as it already appears to be centered horizontally.

Hi, thanks for making this awesome tool! I would like to request you add a proper FLOSS license so that we're legally allowed to use this software. No license implies that standard copyright law applies and all rights are reserved; this is mentioned in the readme, though it's unclear if it's for the tool or the website.

Please see this link for more details. Thank you very much!

Greetings,

I was checking out your extra life tool and ran into a few issues.

https://code.responsivevoice.org/getvoice.php?t=This is such a good cause. Good luck!&tl=en-GB&sv=g1&vn=&pitch=0.5&rate=0.5&vol=1&gender=female
Resolves to a 403 address and won't play sounds

Donations text to speech also seems to not work in OBS. It will play the sound, but not read the donation.

However, if I just load the html file in a browser, it plays the text to speech, if I pick US-male, but it will not play sounds.

It might be nice if, instead of just showing the amount donated and the optional goal amount as text, it could display a progress bar like the one you see on the extra life pages e.g. at https://bit.ly/bread4kids

I really like the plugin and this will be my second year using it. I wanted to make the suggestion to add the ability to remove the year and 'time until' feature to make the whole thing a little more compact.

Hello,

I wasn't sure how to get in touch with you and the the Helper forum is down so I though I might try this. I know it's not the proper use of this feature.

I'm having trouble testing locally and using the debugging tool locally. I thought I might just need to change the path for the various txt files to local documents but that doesn't seem to do anything.

I have used used the testDonation function in the html file by changing the seconds from 0. While that does show a message it doesn't play the sound and it doesn't go away so it's not the most helpful.

Any guidance in how to properly test locally would be great thanks.

Best,
Nick

5 Days ago a typo in the french version was corrected, but the live version of the countdown still has the typo. Can you please update the live version? (The download link on the readme is also not up to date.)
Thank you so much for this amazing tool!! I love it!
