Can't get Say3D to work

[Llano 11]

So, i have this in my description.ext:

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {};

class fortunate
{
	name = "";
	sound[] = {"\fortunateson.ogg", 10, 1.0};
	titles[] = {};
};

};

and in my mission (player initialization):

player addAction["play", {heli1 say3D "fortunate_son";}];

where i have a helicopter with the name "heli1". The filename is located in my mission folder.

I've tried songname without quotes, without "\", but i just can't get it to work.

What have i done wrong?

example mission

class CfgSounds 
{

  sounds[]={fortunate};

    class fortunate
    {
      name="fortunate";
      sound[]={"fortunateSon.ogg",.5,1};
      titles[]={};
    };

};

example mission

class CfgSounds 
{

  sounds[]={fortunate};

    class fortunate
    {
      name="fortunate";
      sound[]={"fortunateSon.ogg",.5,1};
      titles[]={};
    };

};

Thanks. After testing some things, i noticed that apperently it's something wrong with my musicfile :)

EDIT: Could it be that my musicfile is to big? It's 36 megabytes.

I see. Glad you have it sorted.

How did you convert your file to .ogg?

Audacity

Well, so did i. I compared my musicfile with your, and they are exact same. Stereo, 11025 Hz, 16-Bit PCM.

I even cut the file, so it only was 5 seconds long, and it still don't work. But with your musicfile, it does. Really weird.

it is not clear from what i see in your posts ,

if you use this

class CfgSounds 
{

sounds[]={fortunate};

class fortunate
{
name="fortunate";
sound[]={"fortunateSon.ogg",.5,1};
titles[]={};
};

}; 

then you play the sound like this

player addAction["play", {heli1 say3D "fortunate";}];

i m right?

Correct.

try this

class CfgSounds {
sounds[] = {fortunate};

class fortunate 
{name="Fortunate";
sound[]={"\sounds\fortunateSon.ogg",db+5,1.0};
titles[] = {};};
};

and call with

player addAction["play", {heli1 say3D "Fortunate";}]; 

make a folder named sounds in your mission folder and in there, put your sound file.

Well. There is definitely something wrong with my music file. Iceman77's code works for me when playing his music file, but if i swap the music file to mine, it doesn't work.

[dragonsyr 21]

btw make use of the folder "sounds". is the proper way for playing custom sounds

Yeah, but i'm trying to focus to get it to work first :)

[Llano 11]

Btw here is the .ogg file http://www.mediafire.com/download/9esci3haxcbszyi/fortunateSon2.rar

[Llano 11]

Alright, i found the problem. Apperently the music file had to be in "mono", and not "stereo".

[iceman77 19]

Oh nice. Good to see you finally got it working lol.
