!THANKS!

This is just what is needed. A full tutorial on radio + music + sound.

It's the thing that always gets me!

But now I have a good refrence to use   ;D

I can get the sound to play but the text on the screen doesnt show up. i dunno wat it is and im sure ive done the descriptions.ext and stringtable.csv files right. (im not even sure wat a stringtable.csv file does or y u need it?) but anyway any1 know y the text dont show up??

I'm not sure why flashpoint does this. You can get round it by using the cuttext command. eg

CutText["Blah blah blah","PLAIN DOWN"]

This will not make the text disappear with sound.

class CfgMusic
{
tracks[]=
{
jade, blink
};

class jade
{
name = "jade";
sound[] = {\music\jade.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
class blink
{
name = "hates me";
sound[] = {\music\hates me.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
};
This is the file iam using convert to ogg says file not found? hates me is the song what iam doing wrong? saved file as description.ext.

Three things here.

1./   tracks[]={jade, blink};

You have no track called blink defined.

2./   sound[] = {\music\hates me.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

I'm don't think spaces are allowed in file names.

3./   The track 'hates me' is not in the tracks list

Anyway try hates_me instead

redid file says file not found Can you give me a stickey with file1 as song? do i need a sound file to? i been searching all tuts still wont work. Newbee at this help Please!!!!!!               class CfgMusic

tracks[]={file1};


class file1
{
name = "file1";
sound[] = {\music\file1.ogg, db+10, 1.0};
};


};
This is the one iam using Now. and will song be with the rest of OFP Music?                                                                    

[Planck]

No

I have no idea where you are getting 'file1' from.

Is it a music file of your own?
There is no music file of that name that came with the game.

There is however 01.ogg through to 16.ogg.
They are in the Music.pbo


Try:


class CfgMusic
{
tracks[]={01};

class 01
{
name = "01";
sound[] = {\music\01.ogg, db+10, 1.0};
};
};

See if it plays ok

[campbell]

its a music file i converted to ogg? i renamed it to file1?

[Planck]

ok

Well it needs to be in a folder called music.......and that folder needs to be in your mission folder.

Great tute Navy_Seal, hats off to ya. I'm kinda new to music and sounds, and it really helped. Just one thing though. Every music/sound/radio overlooks this one great sound program, Audacity audacity.sourceforge.net/. It's a great program that I found, allows you to edit and export ass .ogg, just thought I'd let people know about it.

Hi all!
First of all, sorry for my english... I'm hungarian...
The tutorial is really good, but I make missions with sound and music since I have OpFlash legally (so I didn't need any sound tutorial - until now  :-\)... But now, my problem:
I'm making right now a campaign, on the island of Everon... I'm using some addons (partisans, police forces... etc.), but the key points of my campaign are 2-3 flashback missions, i'd like to make them with the Seb_Ia_Drang island + some of the SEB addons (using NAM Pack v2). My problem: I can't import music and sound to these Vietnam-style missions! I had no problems with the Everon missions - i stuffed a lot of sounds and music to them... I'm making the Vietnam-missions the same way as the Everon-Missions (description.ext,triggers with playmusic "musicname") - the program simply says, it couldn't find the music AND sound files! I'm using DBPoweramp... Sound files converting options: 44100Hz, Mono, Constant Bitrate, 64kbps, Preserve ID Tags checked... (and the converted files worked until now). I thought, the OpFlash install is corrupted, but the program still recognizes the SAME files in another mission (I imported them to Everon, there were no problems...)
My question:
Why could I make missions with sounds & music in Everon, and why not in SEB_Ia_drang?
Please help me solve this problem - i don't have much time making opflash missions (it's winter holiday now) and I'd like to make the Vietnam-missions in the remained time...

Thanks for your help!
