Sounds aren't working

[Serial Killer]

After I placed some custom fonts, etc. on my description.ext file, the sounds aren't working anymore. Here's the description.ext file:

I knew that there will be some problems because this is my first time when I add some custom fonts and stuff on my mission. The fonts works perfectly, btw, but the sounds aren't.

[456820]

well if the sounds worked before you put the fonts in then try my idea wich i do when that happens to me because when i add new things i ususally get error messages about things that didnt work
take the bottom bit and oput it on top for example your font go first now copy and paste your sounds above the font class'
ill do it for yo to save confusion

you should of noticed its back to front i usually od that and works perfectly again
have a go if that doesnt work i re wrote all my sound class' well i actually used chris' ofp editor to do that for me

anyway hope it helps

[Serial Killer]

Wow, it's working.

Cheers!

[Serial Killer]

Ok, didn't want to start new thread so I post this here.
When I try to play those sounds by 'playSound "sound_name"', I cant hear anything. I just see the texts what appears with the sound but sounds aren't working. Any advices? :'(

[456820]

well in the description.ext where it says 'db'
for example

sound[] = {"\sound\3.ogg", db-40, 1.0};

you have that and it says db-40
try changing that bit to
db+0

if its too low its hard to hear some sounds

[Serial Killer]

Hmm... Not working. :-\ I tried db+0, db+10, and few others, but I still cant hear anything.
Could it be because I made a .lip file from that sound...?

[Dane]

Are you sure your sounds are in the right format? when i compress soundfiles to .ogg i always use Frequence 24000hz and Mono because that always works for me.
Music can be stereo but sound files not and a frequence not over something? (i can't remember).

Edit. Nvm. Didn' read the first post sorry.

[Serial Killer]

Can anyone help me? :'(

[Sui]

These are some of the things that normally trip me up:

• Sound file format. Make sure it's Mono... can be almost any freq as far as I know (I have used 11,500Hz right up to 44,100Hz with no problems).
• Sound name in the .ext file is the exact file name, including extension
  
• The sound file is in the right place. If you put it in a folder called 'sound' right off your mission folder, you should only need to put the sound file name in quotes (I highly suspect that this could be your problem there ;) ).
• The sound file size is above 10-12Kb. I've had issues where small .ogg files just won't play for no good reason. I'm not sure why this is, and there doesn't seem to be a set file size limit (I've had some 8kb files play fine, when others wouldn't...)

Anyway, check all of those, or at least let us know which ones you are having issues with and we can help you further

[Serial Killer]

Ok...

My sound file is mono, .ogg, 44100Hz, it's inside of a folder called 'sound' and it's size is 32kb.

I just noticed that the sound works perfectly if I play it by trigger. Wtf..?

[Sui]

In your class definition in your .ext, try getting rid of the directory.

eg.

sound[] = {"3.ogg", db-40, 1.0};

Provided you put the .ogg file in the sound directory, you shouldn't need to specify the path...

[Serial Killer]

Cool, it's working. Thanks!
