Want the CAS voice/radio dialog

[rekrul 7]

When you call in CAS, using the SOM-module, you get a radio dialog that I want to use in my own mission (only the dialog, not the SOM-part). Anyone have any idea how I can find out what samples to play (and how, but I guess there's plenty of threads about that already).

Edit: Basically what I want is someone screaming or say half-panicked/stressed "We need air-support!" but I'll settle for the CAS dialog.

why dont you just extract the sounds and put it in your mission with the desciption.ext? im not sure, but they should be in the dubbing.pbo..

btw. do you have OA and if so, are the sound dialogs playing completly for you if you order CAS? for me its bugged since OA, only half of the sounds play..

[rekrul 7]

I would I knew how. :) Basically I don't want to add the sounds in my mission so they're there twice, but I remember I did something similar with A2 where you had a radio-dialog but there I looked up on the biki what all the words were. However I can't find that again. And if there's a way to just launch the entire SOM dialog, that sounds (no pun intended) a lot easier.

I have both, but this is for OA. Actually I haven't even tested SOM yet, I just assumed it was the same as with A2.

I found the script here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/kbTell but I have no idea where the different files go. The example refers to a config file, a bikb file and finally the script file. I read this: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=91875 and it seems like I have to learn uh... FSMing? This is just for a radio conversion (or if there's already an Ambush-sample, I just want to play it) but I want everyone to hear it.

[rekrul 7]

Well I took the hard workaround by de-PBOing the dubbing-file, extracted the .ogg files I wanted to use, defined them in description.ext, put an AI on the map and called him HQ, and then manually played off the sounds with sleep between the sideRadio commands. I do get some problems if "my guy" (the one talking on the radio, requesting CAS) gets killed though.

If anyone can help me with the smart and elegant way, that would be awesome (i.e. how to use the example in the http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/kbTell article).

I'm fiddling with bikb files and they are confusing the heck out of me, I like them as I have got it to read out the map co-ordinates of the player's position, I got on working okay using this:

(Using LDL's Addon btw, this script just calls a ac-130 to the players location & I'm not sure if I need all the stuff in the script but it looked like I needed it all after looking through BIS' huge scripts.....)

hi how did you get it to read out the position, trying to work on a dynamic transport cas gunship script with radio voiceovers. scripts work just need to find out for to read out the location of markers

[CarlGustaffa 4]

I did something similar, using Domination and that vanilla spotter script as a basis.

.bikb:

class ArtilleryRequest {
	text = "%Team, requesting %Type strike at grid %Location. %Rounds salvoes!";
	speech[] = {%Team,%Type,%Location};
	class Arguments {
		class Team {type = "simple";};
		class Type {type = "simple";};
		class Rounds {type = "simple";};
		class Location {type = "simple";};
	};
};

Functions I needed (I'm not using mapclick, but typed coordinates, that allows for 8 digit grids):

_ToGrid8 = {
private ["_pos","_posx","_posy","_array","_tmp","_str"];
_pos = _this;
_str = format ["%1",mapGridPosition _pos];
_posx = toArray format ["%1", round (((_pos select 0) % 100) / 11)] select 0;
_posy = toArray format ["%1", round (((_pos select 1) % 100) / 11)] select 0;
_array = toArray _str;
_tmp = [];
{_tmp set [count _tmp, _x]} forEach [_array select 0, _array select 1, _array select 2, _posx, _array select 3, _array select 4, _array select 5, _posy];
_str = toString _tmp;
_tmp = nil;
_posx = nil;
_posy = nil;
_str
};

_GridStringToPosition = {
private ["_input","_res","_exit","_tocheck"];
_input = _this select 0;
_res = [];
if !(typeName _input in ["STRING"]) exitWith {if(d_debug_mode) then {hintSilent "_StringToGrid: Not a string, code error!"}; _res = "Bad grid data due to code error!"; _res};
if (count toArray _input != 6 && count toArray _input != 8) exitWith {if(d_debug_mode) then {hintSilent "_StringToGrid: String not of correct size"}; _res = "Bad grid data"; _res};
_exit = false;
for "_i" from 0 to (count toArray _input) - 1 do {
	_tocheck = (toArray _input) select _i;
	if !(_tocheck in [48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57]) exitWith {_exit = true};
};
if (_exit) exitWith {if (d_debug_mode) then {hintSilent "_StringToGrid: String contained non numerals"}; _res = "Bad grid data"; _res};
if (count toArray _input == 6) then {
	_res = [
		10000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 0]) +
		1000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 1]) +
		100 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 2]) + 50,
		10000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 3]) +
		1000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 4]) +
		100 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 5]) + 50
	];
} else {
	_res = [
		10000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 0]) +
		1000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 1]) +
		100 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 2]) +
		10 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 3]) + 5,
		10000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 4]) +
		1000 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 5]) +
		100 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 6]) +
		10 * (parseNumber toString [toArray _input select 7]) + 5
	];
};
_res
};

The part in the artillery script that performs the kbTell:

_vocalarray = ["pause","pause","pause","grid"];
for "_i" from 0 to (count _input) - 1 do {
	_number = parseNumber (format ["%1",toString [_input select _i]]);
	_vocal = switch _number do {

		case 5: {"five2"};
		case 6: {"six2"};
		case 7: {"seven2"};
		case 8: {"eight2"};
		case 9: {"nine2"};
		default {"zero2"};
	};
	_vocalarray set [_i+4, _vocal];
};
//	player globalChat format ["%1",_vocalarray];
_vocaltype = switch d_ari_type do {

	case "sadarm": {["WeNeedAGuidedAntiArmorStrikeOver"]};
	case "copperhead": {["WeNeedLaserGuidedOrdnanceOver"]};
	case "dpicm": {["RequestingFireSupportFireForEffectOver"]};
	default {[]};
};
player kbTell [__speaker,d_kb_topic_side_arti,"ArtilleryRequest",
	["Team","",_firstsecondstr,[_firstsecondstr]],

	["Location","",if (count _input == 8) then {_position call _ToGrid8} else {mapGridPosition getPosASL _ari_target},_vocalarray],
	true
];

Note that some of the numbers are said very quickly, so I'm considering a fix by having each number not a string, but an array like [2,"eight",3] where the numbers means how many "pause" to put into the resulting array.

If you have a working kbTell system in already, it shouldn't be too much of a problem implementing this idea.
