Config.cpp and car horn sounds

[Intruder 0]

I've retextured a sports car and I just wanted to know what I have to put in the config.cpp file to change the original 'sportscarhorn' sound to a custom sound file located in a 'sounds folder' within the new addon car folder.

any ideas?

You have to make a new horn weapon and change the sound to your custom sound.

Do you mean a new class CfgWeapons?

[Damage Inc 0]

Yes.

I mean a new class under cfgWeapons and with the custom sound.

This is all new to me, would the weapons class in the cpp file look like this:

class CfgWeapons

{

class CarHorn: Default

{

scopeWeapon=1;

ammo="";

displayName="";

reloadTime=0.000000;

drySound[]={"Vehicles\carhorn",0.100000,1};

canLock=0;

optics=0;

enableAttack=0;

magazines[]={};

};

};

This was in one of the tutorials over at OFPEC site.

No, that's the default. In your .cpp it would look something like this:

class CfgWeapons

{

class Default {};

class CarHorn: Default {};

class CHorn: CarHorn {

drySound[]={"addondirectory\hornsound",0.100000,1};

soundContinuous=1

};

};

Could you take a look at the cpp file for me? The addon folder is 'INT_metpol_car', and the sound files are in the 'carsnd' folder

It "almost" works:

// some basic defines

#define TEast 0

#define TWest 1

#define TGuerrila 2

#define TCivilian 3

#define TSideUnknown 4

#define TEnemy 5

#define TFriendly 6

#define TLogic 7

#define true 1

#define false 0

// type scope

#define private 0

#define protected 1

#define public 2

class CfgPatches

{

class INTmetpolcar {

units[] = {INTmetpolcar};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 1.07;

};

class CHorn {

units[] = {};

weapons = {CHorn};

requiredVersion = 1.07;

};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

class All {};

class AllVehicles: All {};

class Land: AllVehicles {};

class LandVehicle : Land {};

class Car: LandVehicle {};

class SkodaHelper: Car {};

class SkodaBase: SkodaHelper {};

class Rapid: SkodaBase {};

class INTmetpolcar: Rapid {

model="\INT_metpol_car\INTmetpolcar";

displayName="INT UK Police Car";

crew=Civilian3;

soundEngine[]={"\INT_metpol_car\carsnd\engine1.ogg",db10,2.4};

maxSpeed=600;

weapons[] = {"CHorn"};

};

class CfgWeapons

{

class Default {};

class CarHorn: Default {};

class CHorn: CarHorn {

displayNameMagazine=CHorn;

shortNameMagazine=CHorn;

scopeWeapon=public;

scopeMagazine=public;

drySound[]={"INT_metpol_car\carsnd\siren1.ogg",0.100000,1};

soundContinuous=1

};

};
