You can access the embedded sounds in Arma pbo´s by using something like this in your description.ext:

Example for accessing a sound in voice.pbo on the fly.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class voice1

{

name = "voice1";

sound[] = {"\ca\voice\alan\actions\activatebomb.wss", db+1, 1.0};

titles[] =

{

0,

};

};

Exception: content of ca.pbo can´t be accesssed on the fly using this method. Also make sure you define the sounds under the right class in description.ext, else they won´t work properly.

I dont know what is wrong but does not work

Im testing with 2 sounds, 1 custom on my mission directory and other from Arma sound.pbo

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

{

sounds[] = {CustomSound,ArmaSound};

class CustomSound

{

name = "CustomSound";

sound[] = {"\sounds\alarm1.ogg", 1, 1};

titles[] = {};

};

class ArmaSound

{

name = "ArmaSound";

sound[] = {"\ca\voice\alan\actions\activatebomb.wss", db+1, 1.0};

titles[] = {};

};

};

Now playing

SomeUnit say ["CustomSound",5]

is working fine

SomeUnit say ["ArmaSound",5]

Is not working

Im working on a big scale mp project, and I just want give some sound enviroment with some sounds from AI units using internal sounds for dont get a bigger size file

The voices have to be embedded different.

Add them to the mission description.ext in one of the class of cfgMusic, Sfx, Sounds or EnvSounds.

If for some reason accessing the sound files does not work correctly, try changing the \ca\sounds\ to: \sounds\ or for the voices: \voices\

Edit: I´m sending you an example description.ext. It´s too big to post it here

Could be worth a try to use PlaySound instead of Say aswell.

Thanks for the file bro, is not working for my case, I need this for give a good environment to the mission with some AI sounds for example: heard the artillery gunner shouting "FIRE" before gun shot, or hear the AI city guardians shout "MOVE MOVE MOVE" after get landed from para jump, only the command SAY work on this case I need the sound source from AI units for nearest players only, but I dont want to provide more OGG files into mi mission geting a big size

But you give me a good idea, I will try with script placing a trigger handle to position and play it as CfgSFX

neighhhh nothing is working, im so tired I think will include a few voices ogg into mission directory, this mission size is now 1 Mb I think including around 4 voice files for 1.2 Mb is at limit, but acceptable size for MP mission

Anyway I will check later if any1 have another idea

Thanks a lot
