Creating a Sound Addon

[Cam51 0]

I have some sounds that I'd like to create into ambient sounds for a mission.

I have tried the regualr way of placing them in a mission/sound folder, but these sounds are not ambient (ie: sounds that get quieter the further you get from the source)

The sound files are in ogg format.

I'd like to have these sounds in the Mission Editor/Empty/Sound.

The soun files are named:

Siren.ogg

Reveil.ogg

14taps.ogg

ALSO, if there is anyother way to do this without requiring it to be an addon, I would prefer that way instead. So the people can just download the mission and not an extra file on the side.

Make a folder in your mission folder, name it Music.

Into your description.ext (if you don't have one, create one) in your mission folder, put in the following.

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

{

tracks[]=

{

music1, music2, music3

};

class music1

{

name = "siren";

sound[] = {\music\siren.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

};

class music2

{

name = "reveil";

sound[] = {\reveil\reveil.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

};

class music3

{

name = "14taps";

sound[] = {\music\14taps.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

};

}

Found it in Mission Editing FAQ. The codesample is written by iNeo

I tried that, and the sounds worked, but not like I want them too.

The sounds played directly threw my speakers. Like music does in OFP. There was no directional value about them. No matter what way you look or how far you ran, the sounds remained the same volume.

Hope that clears it up a little

I edited my post... Now?

Try making a folder, name it music. Have all music in it. Make a trigger. On activation you wright some kind of command that gets the music from the musicfolder in your mission folder...

Check post above ^.

Ive done that but its not what Im looking for.

Its classed as music, which is not ambient.

"class CfgAmbient"?

[Cam51 0]

Doesn't work

The files don't show up in the "sounds" list in a trigger.

you had an error in your snippet->

sound[] = {\reveil\reveil.ogg, db+0, 1.0};

I changed it and it still wont work.

This is with CfgAmbient instead of music

Any help please?

[Guest The Cobra]

Ask a mod.. Like an "OF Developer". They should now... Or else, just un-pbo the sound.pbo-file, track down the ambient sounds and start from there

Well anyway, hope you'll get it working.

Use the cfgSound class,

Put this in your description.ext

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

class cfgSounds

{

sounds[] = { sirene,reveil, 14taps};

class sirene

{ name = "siren";sound[] = {"siren.ogg", db-0, 1.0}; titles[] = {0, $STRM_siren};};

class reveil

{ name = "reveil";sound[] = {"reveil.ogg", db-0, 1.0}; titles[] = {0, $STRM_reveil};};

class 14taps

{ name = "h14taps";sound[] = {"14taps.ogg", db-0, 1.0}; titles[] = {0, $STRM_14taps};};

Then place a gamelogic, name it and play the sound via the say command

Like

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

Logicname say "reveil"

If this doesn't work either, there is probably something wrong with your sound format

I love you man!

It worked!!! Here is a break down of how I did it so if anyone else is trying to get it to work.

Make a folder in your missions folder called "sound"

Place .ogg files in the "sound" folder.

Create a empty text document, and copy and paste this in it:

Quote[/b] ]class cfgSounds

{

sounds[] = { sirene, reveil, 14taps};

class siren

{ name = "siren";sound[] = {"siren.ogg", db-0, 1.0}; titles[] = {0, $STRM_siren};};

class reveil

{ name = "reveil";sound[] = {"reveil.ogg", db-0, 1.0}; titles[] = {0, $STRM_reveil};};

class 14taps

{ name = "14taps";sound[] = {"14taps.ogg", db-0, 1.0}; titles[] = {0, $STRM_14taps};};

Now just change the all the words: siren, reveil, and 14taps, to whatever your sound files are called.

Save, and close the text document. Now change it to a .ext format instead of a .txt

Now open your game and load the mission, place a gamelogic on the map and name it "newsound".

Now make a trigger, on activation put this: newsound say "*whateveryouwant" = the name of you new sounds.

Thats it. Thanks a lot Blanco, you saved me a bunch of time.
