Add music into ofp

[--LKK.Burnix-- 0]

I have again my problem, my campaign is to large. 50MB without addons. I have include music into every mission.

Is it possible do make an Addon, and now I mean not Amore, wich include my music into the OFP? Like I can chose it in the Mission Editor at the effects menu.

I have unpacked in the DTA folder the music.pbo

But I find just .ogg files! And now config or anything else.

How has BIS include this?

Please help me. And please not Amore!

i think you could compile a pbo addon file with all the .ogg musics and create a config.cpp, but i dont know what to put in the cpp

I thinks that is it!

Somebody here who can do this?

Creating a separate PBO with the music files inside will cause OFP to load the entire file when OFP starts.

And the difference between doing that and using AMORE is trivial.

Also, if you go for the custom PBO method, should you need to update the PBO (add/update and audio file, correct/change the config.cpp), the whole PBO has to be downloaded again by everyone.

I think you don't understand.

When my campaign is done, I pack all the music files into the PBO. I only want to know how to describe the music files into OFP.

Sorry, if I can understand Amore, I want use that. But.. you know what I mean

Well you can use the sample AMORE config.cpp as your guideline for your campaign. Look at this page on The FAQ's AMORE section.

The definitions there are pretty much the same as they would be if you coded the definitions in a description.ext file. Obviously, you must change the directory paths pointing to your file.

Sorry, but OFP couldn´t find my music.

I have a folder: There are my four music files, then here the config.cpp:

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

class CfgMusic

{

access=1;

class caTheme

{

name="CA 1 - Theme";

sound[]={"caTheme.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caPeace

{

name="CA 2 - Peace";

sound[]={"caPeace.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caOntheRun

{

name="CA 3 - On the Run";

sound[]={"caOntheRun.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caHeavyInasion

{

name="CA 4 - Heavy Invasion";

sound[]={"caOntheRun.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

};

Is that right?

And yes, it´s a PBO file, and no folder in my Addons folder.

Does your config.cpp start with a CfgPatches section, similar to the following:

Quote[/b] ]class CfgPatches

{

class <span style='color:red'>your_unique_addon_name</span>

{

units[] = {};

weapons[] = { };

worlds[] = { };

requiredVersion = 1.00;

};

};

[--LKK.Burnix-- 0]

No, but now I have insert this:

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

class CfgPatches

{

  class your_unique_addon_name

  {

      units[] = {};

      weapons[] = { };

      worlds[] = { };

      requiredVersion = 1.00;

  };

};

Then I made the PBO and packed this into Addons folder. But again it found no music  

Here now the full config.cpp:

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

class CfgPatches

{

class ca_music

{

units[] = {};

weapons[] = { };

worlds[] = { };

requiredVersion = 1.00;

};

};

class CfgMusic

{

access=1;

class caTheme

{

name="CA 1 - Theme";

sound[]={"caTheme.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caPeace

{

name="CA 2 - Peace";

sound[]={"caPeace.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caOntheRun

{

name="CA 3 - On the Run";

sound[]={"caOntheRun.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caHeavyInasion

{

name="CA 4 - Heavy Invasion";

sound[]={"caOntheRun.ogg",1.000000,1.000000};

};

};

How are you referencing the music files in your mission.sqm or script files. Show us the code that is not working?

What is the exact text of the error message you are receiving?

[king homer 1]

well u had could ask me ... i'm good @ coding :P

[Totmacher 0]

There is no error message and the config is right but it does not work. I know that problem and i have no solution. If you define a model in the same config you will see that the music now work. I meen OFP will ignore the config if you only define the CFGMusic class.

[theavonlady 2]

I meen OFP will ignore the config if you only define the CFGMusic class.

Works for AMORE!

Now It looks like this:

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

{

class ca_music

{

units[] = {};

weapons[] = { };

worlds[] = { };

requiredVersion = 1.00;

};

};

class CfgMusic

{

class caTheme

{

name="CA 1 - Theme";

sound[]={\ca_music\caTheme.ogg,1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caPeace

{

name="CA 2 - Peace";

sound[]={\ca_music\caPeace.ogg,1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caOntheRun

{

name="CA 3 - On the Run";

sound[]={\ca_music\caOntheRun.ogg,1.000000,1.000000};

};

class caHeavyInasion

{

name="CA 4 - Heavy Invasion";

sound[]={\ca_music\caHeavyInvasion.ogg,1.000000,1.000000};

};

};

But it dont work...

[theavonlady 2]

Just a wild guess. Maybe OFP doesn't like the spaces in the "Name" fields. Make the names the same as defined in Class.

[--LKK.Burnix-- 0]

Coool! Now it works!

I have insert this:

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

class CfgMusic

{

tracks[]={ caTheme, caPeace, caOntheRun, xcaHeavyInasion };

Thanks for support!
