more help here?

[Azraell]

i posted this in the sounds and cutscenes forum but i didnt get much help there, so i try it here since more ppl come in here, maybe someone has had this problem. i wanted some custum music in my mission so i read over the tuts and other forums and decided to give it a whirl. heres the steps i took....

class CfgMusic
{

tracks[]= {};

class Songs
{

name = "song1";
sound[] = {\Music\razor.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
};

went to my missions folder again and made music folder, put razor.ogg into that music folder.


went into editor and made a trig, playmusic "song1"....correct so far?  

the trig tripped, at start..... "music music1 not found"

yes, its in the music folder

this was in preview....so i figured had to be in actual game....
export to sp, new error message


No Entry 'config.bin/CFGweapon.CFGmusic' .....anyone have this problem at 1 time or another? i ve tried changing names, putting names where tracks is, everything....... same messages over and over

[Chris Death]

class CfgMusic
tracks[]= {};

try: tracks[]= {"song1"};

:edit

and also

class Songs

try: class song1

::edit

ah yeah, just saw in cutscenes & sound, you already did that

hmm - then you could try
name = "";

instead of

name = "song1";

not sure if this helps (can't access ofp at work)

[Azraell]

well, ill poke around with the names some more, but i dont think itll work....i even tried making a new mission....all i had was the player, and the music trigger....and got the same messages

[Chris Death]

OK, try it again:

Code: [Select]

class CfgMusic
{
tracks[]= {song1};

class song1{name = "song1";sound[] = {\Music\razor.ogg, db, 1.0};};
};

If this doesn't work, post your whole description.ext, because
that

No Entry 'config.bin/CFGweapon.CFGmusic'

message let me start thinking about: maybe there's something
else causes your music not to work.

hey, that did the trick mcnorth, however diff it was....chris was correct on something being wrong with desciption too, so i rewrote it and added ur way of doing it....like how it puts itin the list so u dont need playmusic "stupidcommand" thanks again guys! ;D ;D ;D

[Azraell]

hey guys, it stopped working again....but i found out the prob, sorta, it only works when  class cfgmusic entry is the only thing in the description.ext, if i add anything else it doesnt...here is my destription.....maybe i have something in the wrong place

whatcha think?

[Azraell]

ok, i just got rid of the weps and ammo entries and it works, i know i had an extra bracket in there, so i ditched it and tested b4 i got rid of it all and it still didnt work, but once i deleted everything that had to do with weapons, it worked again....something in the weps was conflicting, maybe some1 more advanced will see the mistake that i could not... guess you suckers wont be able to choose ur own weapons b4 the mission.

[mcnorth]

It looks to me like the problem is after this part

class CarlGustavLauncher
{
   count = 6;

You need the closing brace for the count (};) and then you need the closing brace for the magazines class. (also };)

So that part should look like this.

class CarlGustavLauncher
{
   count = 6;
};
};

Starting from magazines class all the way to the end it should look like this.

class Magazines
{
   class HK
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class M4
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class M16
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class GrenadeLauncher
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class Mortar
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class M60
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class M21
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class LAWLauncher
   {
         count = 6;
   };
   class CarlGustavLauncher
   {
         count = 6;
   };                           //this was missing
};                                        //this was missing too

class CfgMusic
{
   tracks[]=   {razor};

   class razor
   {
      name = "song1";
      sound[] = {\music\razor.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
   };

};

Except for the this was missing comments.
(I do that indent thing because it's so easy to lose track of the flow)

Hope this solves it for you.

yup, thanks man, ur the dude. that solved it! once they get the submission area open, keep an eye out for my mission, its my first, but i been going balls to the wall in making this worthy of play.
