Custom sounds/music in Arma3?

[C-J... 10]

Hi.

I have tried to get custom sounds/music to work in the latest version of Arma, but can't figure out how it's done.

Have any of you managed to do it? If so,m how?

Hello Kardan,

Yep, the custom sounds/music still work via arma 2 and so on...

So, here is an example of the CfgMusic script:

//description.ext
class CfgMusic
{
   tracks[]={};
   class Intro
{
       name = "Intro";
       Sound[] = {\Music\Intro.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
 };
};

And here is the CfgSound:

//description.ext
class CfgSounds
{
   class Example
   {
       name="example1";
       sound[]={\sound\example.ogg,1,1};
       titles[]={};
   };
};

-----------------------------------------

So, yeah. Its really great for BI to keep alot of the scripting dating back to Arma 1. ;)

Hope it helps,

NOTE: Also, you will need to convert whatever your music or sound is to an ".ogg" format.

You can look up some online converters or programs to help you convert them. (I use Audacity which is a very good program)

Thanks for your reply.

I created a folder in my mission folder, named "music". I then created a document called "description.ext" and then put the file converted to .ogg in there. I still got an error message that it didn't work?

No, it worked now, had forgotten to type one thing!

Just to be sure, everyone on the server can hear this, not just me, correct?

Yep. Since its a topic, all visitors and members can view this topic (the only ones visitors can't see are PM's) :D

No no, I meant, these music files, can everyone on the server hear them, not just me?

Yep, that is correct. :D

On Multiplayer, all the files inside your mission folder will be shared in a way to players that will join your server. Once joined, they can hear the music like you can. ;)

So yes, it is definitely possible for other players to hear your music.
