Adding another script w/sounds to revive mission

[r.flagg 11]

I've tried to figure this out on my own, but so far with no luck.

Let's say for example, I wanted to add the gaurd dogs script found in this thread

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=87080&highlight=evil+dogs

to a mission that already has norrin's revive.

Page 3 in the Revive readme states;

"If custom sounds are to be used in your mission a config file, config.cpp, for custom sounds is located in the dialogs subfolder of the revive_sqf folder and this will need to be changed."

And I have tried to figure it out, but so far no luck.

I can disable the calls sounds from Revive by following his instructions to delete or comment out this line

#include "revive_sqf\dialogs\config.cpp"

But I'd rather keep the call sounds, and add the dog sounds too.

In the sample mission for the dogs I find this in the description.ext file

class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = {

scream,dog_maul01,dog_yelp

};

class scream {name="scream";sound[]={\sounds\scream.ogg, 0.5, 1.0};titles[] = {};};

class dog_maul01 {name="dog_maul01";sound[]={\sounds\dog_maul01.ogg,0.5,1};titles[] = {};};

class dog_yelp {name="dog_yelp01";sound[]={\sounds\dog_yelp,0.5,1};titles[] = {};};

};

And I see that "Cfg Sounds" are what's listed in the config.cpp for Revive, so I thought maybe I could just add those lines and get away with it. But that didn't work, or I did it wrong.

The dogs script is just an example. I'm sure there are more. Plus I've seen other examples when I try to add revive to other missions I've downloaded (just for my own personal use - I wouldn't alter someones mission and release it).

I'll keep trying to figure it out on my own, but at the same time I'm asking for help, in case it's not a big deal, and someone in the know doesn't mind sharing knowledge.

Thanks!

Easy Way:

revive_sqf\dialogs\config.cpp

Open that with Notepad or some script editor and simply add your new defines.

Not As Easy Way:

Delete the above file and just define all of the sounds in description.ext

If none of this works, I'll be back home in a bit and can give a step by step.

Well, I had already tried to open the config.cpp, and add those lines, but I had failed. But... when you replied saying that was in fact the way to go, it game me inspiration to try again. And this time, success! :bounce3:

Thank you Mr. Grimes.

Turns out I just needed to pay a lot more attention to things like

"

and

}

and so on. And the stuff in the description file for the sample mission of the dogs didn't have some quotation marks, that were needed in the config.cpp. Whether that's a mistake on his part, or just some weird way these things work, I dunno.

But anyway, even though your reply wasn't in detail, it was enough to encourage me towards success, so thanks again.
