Need help on Sound Scripting!

[Blacknite]

Actually I need lots of help lol

1.)  My sound file wont work, even though its was converted into WAV format, then OGG format.

2.)  How do I start the sound file in the Briefing (it can be done!)?

3.)  How do I start the sound file during loading (if possible)?

4.)  How do I make the sound come from a person?

5.)  How can I control the volume of the sound?


Thanks!

1. Check that the sound file has these perameters.
    44100Hz
    120kbps
    Mono (Important)

2. OnBriefingGear = "sound";
    OnBriefingGroup = "Sound";
    OnBriefingNotes = "sound";
    OnBriefingPlan "sound"

3. Not that I know of.

4. Unit Say "Sound"

5. Get the required volume in a sound editor. But make sure your Flashpoint volume settings are at max or when you play the sound in a mission, you'll get a false volume and it may make you change the sound file's volume again when you didn't need to..

How?

2. OnBriefingGear = "sound";
    OnBriefingGroup = "Sound";
    OnBriefingNotes = "sound";
    OnBriefingPlan "sound"

In the description file?

4. Unit Say "Sound"

Why wont their lips move?

I thought you knew this stuff dude.

Anyway.

DL Goldwave.

Load the file you made. Then save it and Goldwave will give you all those options.

For the lines of code.
Yes. If I remember right.

Lips moving.
For this you need to do the following.

DL WavToLip
http://www.flashpoint1985.com/docs/lipsync.html
Lip files can only be made from wavs, hence the name. The file details should be 16bit mono. Lip files go in your sound folder with the accompanying .ogg files.

The Wave2Lip doesnt work.

[Planck]

Wav2lip does work, you just need to follow the instructions that come with it.

1.)  It didnt come with instructions.

2.)  The download link doesnt work.

3.)  It never gave me a lip file, just an ogg.

[The-Architect]

Install it on a root.

Drag and drop the pre made wav. Remember the file specs.

It doesnt do anything.

Problem solved, using Sound Lab.

[Blacknite]

The sound for the briefing doesnt work, instead it closes out and gives me an error message.

[The-Architect]

Check your sytax is correct. Then check it again.

Here is what my description file looks like:

OnBriefingPlan = "escape.ogg"

};


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

I have changed "escape.ogg" to "escape" and it still doesnt work.  The sound file has been converted to its proper format like all the other lip files and as such.
