[help] Unit remains mute in the dialog

[zir 10]

Hey guys,

 

i have returned to ArmA editing a couple of days ago, and am now facing an issue that I can not resolve by myself.

I have established a short conversation between the player and a unit. Script-wise everything seems to work ( I used the A3 method via texts.bikb). I have recorded soundfiles for the player, as well for his conversation partner, but I can only hear the player. The other unit is lip-synched and the text shows as subtitles, but I can not hear the soundfile playing. Did anybody ever have the same issue, or do you know how to resolve it?

 

Recording is MONO via Audacity. Mission is Singleplayer. Bikb and scriptfile are included.

Does the other character have a radio? Have not done any Bikb stuff in a while but there used to be a problem, like you describe, if the character does not have a radio.

A century to live, a century to learn. Thank you very much Larrow, that did the trick.
