adding sounds that play in trigger

[Lt.Andrews]

iam working on a nam mission and would like to but sounds in the trigger option under the trigger effects  

i have read all the tutorals and i have my files in .ogg format and i made a

description.ext

// Define speech sounds in the game

class CfgSounds
{
   sounds[] =
      {
         BTBWild, HendrXWay , HendrXPurpl3
      };
   
   class BTBWild
   
   {
      name = "BTBWild";
      sound[] = {"\sounds\BTBWild.ogg", 1, 1.0};
      titles[] = {   };
   };
   class HendrXWay
   
   {
      name = "HendrXWay";
      sound[] = {"\sounds\HendrXWay.ogg", 1, 1.0};
      titles[] = {   };
   };
   class HendrXPurpl3    
   {
      name = "HendrXPurpl3";
      sound[] = {"\sounds\HendrXPurpl3.ogg", 1, 1.0};
      titles[] = {   };
   };
};


and 2 .sqs files

music.sqs

#loop
_this say "\sounds\BTBWild.ogg"
~53 -

music1.sqs


#loop
_this say "BTBWild.ogg"
~53 -



i cant get it to work at all

(note: i would like to have the sounds play inside the trigger radius what is the description.ext code to get them in the trigger option instead of the anoyminus option)

whoa whoa whoa,

thats a horrible file you got going there...




Here is what you need my fellow friend...



By Spec Op 9:




class CfgMusic
{
tracks[] = {Track1, Track2, Track3};

class Track1
{
name = "name_Track1";
sound[] = {\music\Track1.ogg,db+10,1.0};
};
class Track2
{
name = "name_Track2";
sound[] = {\music\Track2.ogg,db+10,1.0};
};
class Track3
{
name = "name_Track3";
sound[] = {\music\Track3.ogg,db+10,1.0};
};
};

Now that I re-read your post, you are trying to use sounds, not music...



hmmmm....

I would try using my script, and replace the

CfgMusic with CfgSounds

and the other stuff.

You have all the variable names correct... but it seems odd how it's not working...

[Lt.Andrews]

this is the revised script but it does not work eather also iam useing version 1.85 . also the sounds still do not come up on the trigger option under trigger effects

class CfgSounds
{
tracks[] = {BTBWild , HendrXWay , HendrXPurpl3};

class Track1
{
name = "BTBWild";
sound[] = {"\sounds\BTBWild.ogg", 1, 1.0};
};
class Track2
{
name = "HendrXWay";
      sound[] = {"\sounds\HendrXWay.ogg", 1, 1.0};
};
class Track3
{
name = "HendrXWay";
      sound[] = {"\sounds\HendrXWay.ogg", 1, 1.0};
};
};

Welcome to the forums, Lt. Andrews

I'm not expert when it comes to sound (definately one of my weaker areas), but instead of:

sound[] = {"\sounds\BTBWild.ogg", 1, 1.0};

try:

sound[] = {"BTBWild.ogg", 1, 1.0};

I think OFP automatically assumes your sounds will be in the \sounds subdirectory, and the first line may be pointing it to \sounds\sounds...

Anyway, I'm no expert on this. Try that and see if it works

[Lt.Andrews]

k thanks i have been on the fourms for a while but i hang out in the addons section not sure if it works but i will try it

[SpecOpWarrior]

yea, sounds is one of the more difficult part of editing...


Too bad they can't make a simple folder where you can put all your custom music and sounds....

[Lt.Andrews]

it still did not work

[Lt.Andrews]

iam giveing up on it for now plus i need to get full versons of these songs anyway

and 2 .sqs files

music.sqs

#loop
_this say "\sounds\BTBWild.ogg"
~53 -

music1.sqs


#loop
_this say "BTBWild.ogg"
~53 -

err I'm not 100% on this but shouldn't the .sqs file read:
_this say "BTBWild"

(seeing you have already defined the file location of the music in the .ext file)
