Files in an addon?

[dmakatra]

Hi! Long time no Qs.

If it possible to put stuff like custom voicefiles, pictures, .ext, .sqs, etc files in an addon and use them in missions? I am working on a mission pack and most of the files are the same in all missions, and I don't want to release a mission pack of 5 or 6 missions where all missions are 10 or 15 megs each.

In a nutshell: Yes

I read summit about doing it with sound files at least. It's at the Avon Lady's site.

Hi Armsty,

seems you came to the same conclusion as i did.

Why putting always the same music files over and over again
into missions, when there's the possibility to have them
already installed as an addon?

OK, maybe we do not have the same goals, because most
of the times i'm just playing around in the editor to create
different scenarios (hangin around in my brain), only for
meself, or many times i open up the editor only to solve somebody else's problem on the forum  ;D
but in general it's the same.

I tell you what:

I've made such a music addon, and my experience by that told
me even more than just to have the files only once on my
HD. I noticed less lag when the music comes from an addon, as
if i put the music into the mission itself.

All you need to do is:

create a folder - let's say: armsty_songs

now create a config.cpp file, and put it into armsty_songs
Then you need to put all your songs.ogg files into that folder
and whoop - makePBO will do the rest.

Ah yeah, here's the content of my config.cpp file:
