Hi, Is there a way of putting radio .ogg files into your own missions without using the description file? Cause I can't figure it out. :-\
I've tried putting .ogg files in the mission folder and getting them to play in game, but OFP can't find them, and I've seen radio files mentioned in the description file before.

Thanks, [CAS] Daniel

EDIT: If someone could make an example mission with an original radio message in it as simply as possible so I can change and develop it, that would also be much appreciated.

hey there is no way without a description.ext but dont worry its easy for radio sounds copy this into the description.ext and replace the radio_name with the name of your radio sound

class cfgradio
{
sounds[] = { };

class radio_sound
   {
      name = "radio_sound";
      sound[] = {"radio_sound.ogg", db, 1.0};
      titles[] =
      {
         0, $STRM_radio_sound
      };
   };
};

that syntax is guaranteed correct as thats the temple i use in my missions and they all work
but remember to do a stringtable.csv file to have text some up aswell
also if there really is a way to do it without a desription.ext i would love to hear it

anyway hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.

However, I now get the message Sound "C02r01" cannot be found.

I've put the sound in the mission file and changed radio_message to C02r01 in the description.ext. Any ideas? :-\

EDIT: I tried to get west base to say it instead of a unit by using [west,"HQ"], and i now get this error:

I updated my post at the same time as you wrote a reply.

well still a bit more did you do
[west,"HQ"] sideradio ? if so im not sure why this isnt working it work for me but what i usually do is define west,hq in the init.sqs
like this
papabear = [West, "HQ"]
that goes in the init.sqs
and to call the sound i use
papabear sideradio "blah blah blah"

I did what you said, but I still get the same error.

456820 · « **Reply #7 on:** 20 Jun 2005, 18:59:30 »

are you using " " around the sound file ?
thats what happended to me once i had to do something like
papabear sideradio "soundfile"
but i used to do
papabear sideradio soundfile

CAS_Daniel · « **Reply #8 on:** 20 Jun 2005, 19:05:35 »

No, it has the commas: papabear sideradio "C02r01" :-\

Your sound file is actually called C02r01.ogg is it?

CAS_Daniel · « **Reply #10 on:** 20 Jun 2005, 19:37:46 »

Yep, it's a BIS sound.

Planck · « **Reply #11 on:** 20 Jun 2005, 19:42:01 »

Make a folder inside your mission folder named sound.....or is that sounds....I can never remember.

Anyway, place your sound file in that and then make sure the path in your description.ext points to the correct place.

sound[] = {"\sound\C02r01.ogg", db, 1.0};

or perhaps its

sound[] = {"\sounds\C02r01.ogg", db, 1.0};

Like I said I can never remember.

Yeah, its in the sound folder in the mission folder. :-\
Could either of you send me a mission folder with a sound that definately works?

Planck · « **Reply #14 on:** 20 Jun 2005, 19:57:44 »

No....they aren't the same, the second one has 'sounds', whilst the first one has 'sound'.
