FICS proxy which pumps up traffic by sound
I like to play on FICS under Linux with xboard.
But I am not satisfied with native Xboard's acoustic behaviour.
So, soundfics is designed to sound a chess traffic between FICS and FICS client
Tested with Xboard, Jin, eboard
sudo npm -g i soundfics
soundfics (status|start|stop|restart)
You can run soundfics with
soundfics start
put FICS login and password in ~/.icsrc.
then run your favorite FICS client (e.g. xboard) with disabled sounds
xboard -ics -icshost 127.0.0.1 -icshelper timeseal -soundMove ""
Soundfics has several confguration options
| Option | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| ficshost | FICS hostname or address | freechess.org |
| ficsport | FICS port number | 5000 |
| listen | listen address | 127.0.0.1 |
| port | soundfics port number | 5000 |
| daemonize | daemon mode | true |
| loglevel | winston log level | error |
| backlight | backlight base sound or not | true |
You can change configuration options by npm. For example
npm config set soundfics:backlight false
Tells to soundfics to sound something like Fritz
'backlight' option pumps up a base sound by additional sounds
| Base | Addition |
|---|---|
| check | grunt |
| capture | punch |
soundfics is released under the MIT license.
