no playing custom radio msg
« on: 26 Oct 2003, 02:01:41 »
Hi,

I have been editing a misson since a few month.

I had attached many radio messages made by me to the mission.
Every of these are working. I use an ogg sound template and I just paste the new message I want to insert and rename it. Syntax is correrct, I reviewed 1000 times. So as far as now I have 10 working messages playing always.

But now when I would like to insert the 11th radio message, the certain message is not played, you can just read the subtitles I associated in the stringtable, and hear a little noise for a half second.

Has anybody experienced such thing, or know the reason of this effect?

thanks in advance

How big (or long) is the radio message?

For some reason OFP tends not to like very short files...
To get around this I have generally increased the file size in the past. There seems to be no hard and fast rule as to how big the file needs to be though.

Try upping the quality, bitrate, or anything else to increase the file size. Sorry I can't be of more help, but it's a pretty abstract problem :(

thanks the hint,

I was trying such things. The file (bitrate, lenght...) is ok, because If I rename the not working ogg file to another filename what worked before, the sound is played just you can see the other file's STRM...

It is rather weird I know. I have reviewed the syntax many many times....

Is there a limit to 10 sound files in game?

I really do not know what to do.
I guess there is a bug in the game.

Before I had messed up subtitles (read from stringtable). I solved that problem by simply changing the STRMs order and rename, meanwhile the syntax remained the same, and the error was not occured no more...
It was a bug too, it is sure.

But now the chaging and tricking is not working...

OK Solved,

As I wrote it was a bug, I solved this by:

I created a 12th custom sound to cfgRadio in Description and stringtable.

It was playing.

After I deleted the earlier not working sound file from description and stringtable, the new created ogg was played still. So everything is good
 ;D

Then I have got another messed up subtitles from stringtable
 :o
(I mean after the proper subtitle there was some words and letters from previous subtitles), I solved that by:

I rewrited the subtitles to blah blah, and changed the STRM's order.
Played the mission.
After I rewrited the original subtitles and then there were no messed up words...

So we have some buggies here, I wish you avoid this!!! ;)

bye
