Problems using music and sounds
« on: 18 Nov 2002, 19:03:44 »
 :'(First of all, congratulations on the site...it's really useful and I've used many of the scripts and tutorials available..big thanks go out to all you technical stuff guys! 8)
I'm having problems using sounds and music in my missions..I worked for what seemd to me like ages on one mission which is Vietnam War themed, therefore as you can imagine, there would be some music in it..so I spend ages looking for sounds and ripping music and converting the files to .ogg...I then make the description.ext file using at least 5 or 6 mission's description.ext  as templates, and whatever one I use,when I try the mission it tells me that the music was not found...I have countless tutorials, but even though they seem like they are written for complete noobs like me, I still can't get the wanted result, no result at all in fact :(...
So this is a noob calling out to anybody out there who could take me through EVERY single step of the process of using custom music and sounds in missions..Thanks in advance ;) ;D

You should have a lok at Navy_Seals's topic: "Music&Sound&Radio tutorial" especially this part in the 2nd and 3rd reply about music in Description.ext:


class CfgMusic
{
  tracks[]=
  {
      jade, blink
  };
 
  class jade
  {
      name = "jade";
      sound[] = {\music\jade.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
  };
  class blink
  {
      name = "blink";
      sound[] = {\music\blink.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
  };
};

If this doesn't work you probably have your files in the wrong format. If you've gone through as many tutorials as you say you have, you should know which ones work in OFP. Maybe you haven't put the bitrate in the oggconverter to 64, this is something you have to do everytime. ;)
