Addon sound

[jubbie 0]

Hullo

I'm attempting to add a sound to my addon. Everything but the sound seems to work. I've tried two different things. The radio is actually a radio on a table. It is named "radio".

I defined the sound in my addon config. Everything looks good there. I also added an event handler to the entry for the object.

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

CfgSounds

{

    class radiochatter

    {

    name = {"Radio chatter", db+0, 0, 1};

    sound[] = {"myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav"};

    title[] ={};

    };

};

AND later on

class EventHandler

    {

     "_this exec ""\myaddon\radio.sqs""";

    }

And my radio.sqs looks like this:

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

_radio = this select 0

#start

@(_radio animationphase "antenna" ==1 and (getdammage _radio < 0.9)

_radio say "radiochatter";

~1

goto "start";

When I go with this course of action, nothing happens. The antenna is animated and everything works, except there is no sound at all and no error message.

Alternately, I just tried to do this with my radio.sqs:

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

_radio = this select 0

#start

@(_radio animationphase "antenna" ==1 and (getdammage _radio < 0.9)

_radio say "\myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav";

~1

goto "start";

When I do this, everything looks good, but when I use the user action to put up the antenna, I get an error message saying

Sound "\myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav" not found

I also attempted to do this with the radio.sqs:

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

_radio = this select 0

#start

@(_radio animationphase "antenna" ==1 and (getdammage _radio < 0.9)

_radio say ""\myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav"";

~1

goto "start";

And that gave me this error message:

_radio say ""\myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav""; Error Unknown Operator

Any ideas?

The first way (... say "radiochatter") was quite right.

Maybe your sound files aren't in mono format? Stereo will not work in OFP

No, they're in mono format. I've had the exact same sound file working as a trigger in the game, but I can't get it to emit from and be a part of the addon.

OK, I figured it out.

CfgSounds

{

   class radiochatter

   {

   name = {"Radio chatter", db+0, 0, 1};

   sound[] = {"myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav"};

   title[] ={};

   };

};

should be

CfgSounds

{

   class radiochatter

   {

   name = {"Radio chatter", db+0, 0, 1};

   sound[] = {"\myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav"};

   title[] ={};

   };

};

Dumb mistake on my part. Cheers, Hardrock.

CfgSounds

class engine

{

sound[]={"\scud_P38\engine.wav",db+55,1}

name = "";

titles[] = {};

};

the DB+55 part is volume, 1 part is playback speed

Quote[/b] ]CfgSounds

{

   class radiochatter

   {

 sound[] = {"\myaddon\sounds\radiochatter.wav", db+0, 1};  

 name = "";

 title[] ={};

   };

};

and maybe up the db+0 to db+50 or something depending on the orig volume.
