Adding Sounds

[Door a jar 0]

Hey Merry Christmas everyone,

Just a little question for you all.

How do I add new voices, sound effects, and music that will show up in the corresponding effects boxes for triggers and waypoints. You'll probably need to break this down Barney style for me, I'm just starting out in the meat and potatos of programing.

Thanks

well i would say take a look at my tutorials but, the server is down at the moment, so your best bet will be to take a look at the ofpeditingcenter.

Ok, first you'll need to convert the sound to Ogg-Vorbis. You can get an exelent converter at: http://www.dbpoweramp.com And use these settings:

Bit Rate: 56 kbps is a good quality, uses less quality, but then its not very big.

Encoding: Constant bit rate

Set the channel to Mono

44100 Hz

Preserve Id tags needs to be checked

Volume Normalize may be checked

Now make a directory called Sounds in you Users ==> Username ==> Missions ==> Missionname Folder

Put the ogg file there.

Next, you need a description.ext-file. the easisest way to do this is to make a notepad-file in C:\ and put this in it and change the names to your filename where it says rep

class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] =  {

rep

};

class rep

{

 name = "rep";

 sound[] = {"rep.ogg", db+290, 1.0};

 titles[] =

 {

 };

};

Now go to DOS and type this: rename filename.txt description.ext

Ofcourse filename is the name of your text-file.

Now place this description.ext - file in your Users ==> Username ==> Missions ==> Missionname folder.

that should do it, u can now select the sound from a Trigger/Waypoint.

Hope this works for you.

Merry Christmas to you too!
