What's new
Version 0.10.1 focuses on adding various helpful settings related to sound alarms and much more. It also fixes some rare crashes that were previously reported in 0.10.0.
Sounds tab
- You can now fine-tune the volume of each sound alarm together with the ability to test it's functionality.
- Each sound alarm contains description of it's meaning and trigger conditions.
- You no longer need to restart GlobalQuake in order to change the sound effect. Simply click
Reload
button and the .wav file will be loaded straight from the sounds directory which can now be easily accessed by clickingOpen Sounds Folder
button. - Note that some custom sound effects are still not created in version 0.10.1 and they are simply a blank audio files!
Pings tab
- You can now finally customize the conditions under which the various sound effects / pings play
- In the first box, you can select the radius for potential shaking pings. Those are the
level_x.wav
sounds and they trigger even if the earthquake itself isn't localized yet. - In the second box, you can customize the conditions for all earthquake-related alerts. This can be helpful when you want to limit the magnitude of earthquakes that produce sounds. The earthquakes itself will however still be displayed on the map. An option to completely disable earthquakes under certain magnitude is planned soon in next versions.
- Finally, there is a box for customizing the EEW sound alert conditions. This sound effect is not yet available at default and you have to upload your own .wav file!
- You can find the explanation of "Cluster levels" in the sounds settings.
