Custom voice sounds.

[Poet 0]

Hi,

I've converted some Q3 Threewave CTF sounds for use with OFP online.

I've converted them to .ogg, and put them in my users/xxx/sound folder.

- I saw someone else ( can't remember who ) using Custom sounds and he had text pop up everytime he used them, how do I do that?

- Is there a way that I can send the sound files to my buds before playing, so they dont have to download them mid-game, where would they put them?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't that be the TITLES statement within the CfgSound declaration? Example:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = { };

class S01v03

{

name = "S01v03";

sound[] = {"S01v03.ogg", db-10, 1.0};

titles[] =

{

0, $STR_S01v03

};

};

In this example (taken from the Steal The Car mission), the text to display when playing the sound is defined in entry STR_S01v03 in file STRINGTABLE.CSV. You could, however, hard code the message in the sound's defintion, if you wanted to.

Download sounds on the fly in MP? I don't think so.

He is talking about custom radio sounds in MP. I remember having those a year ago or so. It was fun for a while but in the end it was annoying and lagging.

When you play that sound in MP every one will hear it and they will see the file name in the "chat corner" So in order to get some text when you play the sound just change your file name.

And yes you could send them to them before the game. Just use msn or whatever. They should put it in the Ofp Temp foler (i think)

You really like "steal the car", dont you?

I use steal the car as a benchmark mission, to test updates (not any more ) and often as a sample mission, because of it's simplicity yet use of so many editing abilities at the same time.

Oh.............

There's an item about that at The FAQ but I never knew you could pop up text with it.

Not pop up text but regular chat... If the file name is "I like Fish.ogg" you´d get this:

Great Stuff!

Thanks for your help.

Though I do have a couple of Novelty samples, the others are useful ones from the CTF sound pack, because I always struggle finding the right radio responses mid-match so decided to nick the Q3 ones I'm already familiar with...
