Random Ambient Sounds

[Solano 176]

Hey,

 

I am building my first mission and try to implement my own music / ambient sounds to my mission.

I found a promising script but I can´t get it to work...

Is it somehow outdated or am I just doing something wrong?

 

Source: https://github.com/SPKcoding/SPK_RAS

 

If anyone has a good hint how to do something like that or has a link to anything similar that would be much much appreciated.

I couldn´t find much regarding this topic and what I found (link above) doesn´t seem to work...

 

Basically I just want my music to act like in the DayZ Mod. It shall just occur from time to time

 

Regards

There is one ambient sound that comes with the game.  It can be accessed via the "effects" button in a trigger or in a waypoint.

 

However I do not like the sound.

 

My solution is to set up a few blueforce and opforce soldiers, vehicles and tanks and place them on the other side of a hill away from my action.

 

Make them indestructible and provide unlimited ammunition.  Then you get great sound effects tin the distance!

Óh thats very clever - nice idea!

 

I fear I was unclear tho. I mean more like ambient music that gets played every few minutes. Just like in good old DayZ for ArmA 2 you know?

I have no interest in DayZ, zombies or science fiction.

And the next day you have a new thread about how poor the performance of the game is ;)

 

 

 

 

You could try something like this:

_musicPool = ["track1","track2","track3"]; //All the music defined in CfgMusic

_randomFirstTrack = _musicPool call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // select the initial track
playMusic _randomFirstTrack;//play the initial track, required for the eventHandler to work
addEventHandler ["MusicStop" //add an eventHandler which starts a new track when the music stops
{
_randomTrack = _musicPool call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
0 fadeMusic 0; //set volume to 0 to smoothly fade in afterwards
playMusic _randomTrack; //play a random selected track
10 fadeMusic 1; //Turn up the music volume smoothly
}];

This is very basic and since it's already damn late here, also untested. In the end it should give you a idea what you can do, but of course it also depends on what you exactly want.

I thank you very much!

I will try as far as I can get with that - since my scripting skills are not quite huge yet.

Thanks for your effort!

 

Just a little more description of what I would like to add to my mission (template).

I made my own soundtrack and wanted to add it to my mission. It should be played randomly in order and randomly occur every x minutes or so...

And I don´t know if this is a factor or not but it would be nice if everyone else on my server had the same music playing. It doesnt needs to be in perfect sync at all but the same music of course.

Not good way but at least working

init.sqf

if (isServer) then {
 null=[]execVM "playmusic.sqf";
 };

playmusic.sqf

if !(isserver) exitWith {};

sleep 10;


["BackgroundTrack01_F","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

// give enough sleep time until present music play over and wait for next music
sleep 200;

["LeadTrack01c_F","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

["LeadTrack03_F","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

["LeadTrack05_F","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

["LeadTrack01_F_Heli","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

["LeadTrack02_F_EPC","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

["LeadTrack01_F_EPA","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

["LeadTrack04_F_EPC","playmusic",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

sleep 200;

 null=[]execVM "playmusic.sqf";

Thanks to you too very much!

I really appreciate all your effort!

I am not able to create code like this myself - so I am very thankful for all your solutions!
