Sound not found - Custom

Sound not found

 

So im learning to add custom sounds, and this is what i did so far:
Made the description.ext file for it to include the cfg and looks like this:
https://gyazo.com/4fca47f95de40f3e0623967ed1480508

Now, i have added those 3 sounds in a "sound" folder in the directory of the mission:
https://gyazo.com/41879c59b412ad725cc5ddc36ff113e9

I have made a "sound.sqf" file which looks like this:
https://gyazo.com/830ce4538ef4e43eba2254e3a0255a5a

At last i made a trigger activated by blufor to start the "sound.sqf" file that will start the sounds: this = [] execVM "sound.sqf";


What im getting is this tho:
https://gyazo.com/58cd8bf0ffdaec8e904b848a0cb7a39c

Anyone know what i might have done wrong? Im trying to make them play one after another with a small 4-3 seconds break on the same trigger activation.

Don't add the extension.

Selects sound from Description.ext#CfgSounds

The whole reason to add it to CfgSounds is so that you can use the classname to play the sound.

class CfgSounds is messed up.

 

Use this as a template.

Not really. Human error. Works fine for me and many others.

[major-stiffy 280]

He has

sound[]={\sound\xxxx.ogg, 10, 1, 200};

\ in front of sound doesn't work for me.

Off course , the path is the error!

But you could also make your cfgsounds more clear.

 

Personally i like to have everything in a row my ex is here :

class CfgSounds
{
	sounds[] = {};
		
	//adjust the volume from db0
	
	//__________________________ GF Ambient Environment Sounds Script __________________________
	
	//__________________________	Birds_day	__________________________
	
	class Birds_day_1{name = "Birds_day_1";sound[] = {"GF_Ambient_Environment_Sounds\Sounds\Birds_day\Birds_day_1.ogg", db0, 1.0};titles[] = {};};
	class Birds_day_2{name = "Birds_day_2";sound[] = {"GF_Ambient_Environment_Sounds\Sounds\Birds_day\Birds_day_2.ogg", db0, 1.0};titles[] = {};};
};

 

you have used also all the times this  like :

sounds[] = {sea};

 

you don't need to do this , just add this below the cfgsounds , as the ex.  above :

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] = {};

 

 

It's also your first post !

Welcome Scott to Bis Forums !

Read the Wiki. \ in this case (CfgSounds) is for addon path.
