Talking problems

[nogreymatter]

I've created an outro for one of my missions that requires talking. I have made a sound file and converted it into .ogg and for some reason when it hits the spot in the outro where it talks it "says sound not found." This is what I have in the editor:

matt say "talk1"

I have all the audio requirements for the sound file to work in ofp and I have created a Sound folder in the mission and put the audio file in there.

Can anyone help me?

Have you defined the sound in description.ext?

Yes it looks like this

class CfgSounds
{
            sounds[] = { };
   
           class talk1
          {
                   name = "talk1"
                   sound[] = {"talk1", db+112, 1.0};
                   titles[] =
                  {
                             0, $STRD_talk1
                  };
         };
};

Is the folder named "Sound" or "Sounds"?  It has to be named "Sound".  Also, include the extension in the sound field of description.ext:
sound[] = {"talk1", db+112, 1.0};

should be:
sound[] = {"talk1.ogg", db+112, 1.0};

Try also:

sound[] = {"\sound\talk1.ogg", db+112, 1.0};

To specify excactly where the file is saved rather than rely on defaults.

Bye the way:

Code: [Select]

name = "talk1"Enables you to access this sound from the Environmental settings for a trigger.  If you don't need to do this it is better to have:

Code: [Select]

name = ""To reduce the number of names the mission has to deal with

[Pilot]

I thought the name field was the name you called the sound from in the script.  IIRC, it has nothing to do with the Enviromental settings for triggers.  Or am I again going to learn something new? ;D

I think you just have ;D
The name you use in the script is the class name.

I thought so.

Well the problem is fixed. The problem was I didn't add .ogg, and I had sounds instead of sound in my description.

Thanks guys,
Merry Christmas.
