Quick question;

We're running 0.9.6 (yes, we're going to update soon ;]) and we've replaced the radio sounds to a custom set of sounds and distribute this to our players with Arma3Sync. We've verified so we place the files correctly within the A3S-repo and all the files we put in are installed as intended.

The custom sounds play just fine when using the radio yourself (local_start and _end.wav I assume), but when another player is talking no start or end sounds are played (remote_start and _end.wav, right?).

If I play the sounds with VLC the files are indeed the ones I want.

This is how the contents of all my directories in radio-sounds look like:

yep, local and remote sounds are identical.

Am I doing anything wrong? :)

maybe you should check the bitrate of the original files and see if your files have the same

Hello.

Check you files format (you may use Audacity), it should be 48000hz, 2 channels.

[Bamse 223]

Yeah, there are some differences. The original sounds are 48KHz/16bit (stereo) and my files are 44.1KHz/16bit (Stereo).

I'll try chaning to 48KHz and get back with results, thanks :)

I have followed the directions and set this up the way I think. I am having two issues.

1. When I push Caps Lock in game it shows me Caps Lock On or Caps Lock Off

2. I have no sounds when I push to talk.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like something tricky with your keyboard. Do you test in editor (need to be in mission). Window mode or fullscreen?

I am in a scenario and editor full screen.

[nkey 35]

I am in a scenario and editor full screen.

Test in MP (create local server).

[lunchbox35 11]

Ok I figured out the Caps Lock thing..It was my bluetooth software displaying on screen. I still have no sounds when pushing to talk.

Disregard, above poster already answered himself.

[lunchbox35 11]

Thank you. That is what it was. Need to be on MP. Thanks again for all the help.

Sound are played by TS, you need have TS with plugin started and running MP mission.

How do I use the new microDAGR? How do I open it and use it? Couldn't find any key shortcuts for it on your homepage..

[A.Cyprus 16]

It is probably you watch slot. If you have it and open rifleman radio - you will see also programmator.

Is that what you mean?

As far as I know, it will show up only when using the Rifleman Radio. Of course you need to have microDARG in your watch slot (inventory).

(Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

[SHOGUN-6 10]

Have you tried only with TFAR and CBA?

In terms of re-installing, I tried C-L-F as well, and that produced no results. What should I try uninstalling and reinstalling?.

Is it possible to add LR radios to civilian vehicles? I have a mission that kind of depends on it.

Having to resort to giving units backpacks could break the balance and would feel very unfitting.

Hi. With the last update I cant seem to rebind my task force radio keys to what I like. I'm not sure if the location and file name has changed or what, but I really want to be able to change them. Default layout is rather terrible for me.

Hello, I suspect I have an issue with TFAR.

I've installed version 0.9.6 and it works fine, but the direct speech sounds wrong. There is a 3D effect to it (if someone to my right speaks, his voice will come from the right speaker, etc.) however, it doesn't sound as if his voice comes from his in-game character.

For reference, this is exactly what my TFAR direct speech sounds like:

As you can hear, it has somewhat of a 3D effect, but it still sounds like regular teamspeak speech.

In

, it works as I think it should be working. The 3D effect is there and you can also hear the voice coming from each in-game character.

Is my TFAR not working correctly or is it just me?

Thanks in advance.

Try to switch to the first person and check if problem persists.

Radio interference vehicle

if someone interested - script with radio interference vehicle - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vp7lg3b0tz0u2xj/interference.Stratis.zip?dl=0

Enabled in vehicle, engine should be on.

[jgaz-uk 132]

New to TFR is there a list of what the settings in the Userconfig "task_force_radio", "radio_settings.hpp" can be set at, or what they do?

[A.Cyprus 16]

Take a look here

What does the script exactly do, I'm not sure to understand, does it reduce or extend radio power, or something else ?

BTW, do you think you could create a function that simulate relay antennas ? In ACRE for Arma 2 there was a function that could be added to an object's init and the object had the ability to retransmit communications from one frequence to an other in order to allow people to communicate at very long distances (without disabling terrain interferences).

Keep up the good work.
