[Commando84 0]

Im reworking a old coop mission of mine after some recent playing of it in Lan with some friends and it was decided it was to easy

So im trying to do some fun stuff to spice it up and adding a.i scripts to it and stuff.

it crashed arma when i added the last parts with the ofpec ils script

[nuxil 2]

Arma should show you a dialog after it crashed,

you normaly see what did cause the error there,,

but be sure you dont have clases defines more than 1 time

maybe

#include "f\common\f_spect\spectating.hpp"

or

#include "MDXexploFX\enhancedFX.hpp"

has already defined class RscTitles .. not sure though

I am having the same problem. I added two scripts in my description.ext this is what I added, if there is maybe an expert that can help me out or tell me what I did wrong.

This is a sound script for artillery:

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

class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = {Funk,Ari};

class Rauschen {name="Rauschen";sound[]={\sounds\rauschen.ogg,db+20,1.0};titles[] = {};

};

class Ari {name="Ari";sound[]={\sounds\ari.ogg,db+30,1.0};titles[] = {};

};

};

And this is a revive script:

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

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

So if I add them both together 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 CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = {Funk,Ari};

};

class Ari {name="Ari";sound[]={\sounds\ari.ogg,db+30,1.0};titles[] = {};

};

};

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

All works fine I save the file and when I load my mission. It kicks out and gives me a error, something about CfgSounds: Member already defined. Any advice?

[andersson 285]

class CfgSounds is defined two times. Norrins revive script defines it in "revive_sqf\dialogs\config.cpp".

You can add your CfgSounds for the artillery in that place, that should solve it.

[Ionflux 0]

Tested it and it works like a charm thanks so much mate.

Here is what I did(simple guide):

1: open "revive_sqf\dialogs\config.cpp".

Start config.cpp

class CfgSounds

Hello there I’m Craig. I’ve just found this topic and I was just wondering if I could bother you for some help with the description.ext file. I’m creating a mission and I would like to add things like back ground chat and stuff and I’m afraid I haven’t worked out how to add the description.ext to my mission or what kind of format it is. I’ve tried a HTML format and then a basic text format and neither have worked or is it that I’ve to add something to my mission to Synchronise the description.ext file to the mission. If you could help me I would be most grateful

[Ionflux 0]

Hi Craig, ok im not to sure what you want but here goes. You can create a simple description.txt file and put all your code inside the txt file, when you are done just rename the "txt" to "ext". If you are not sure where to put the description.ext file put it here: My documents\arma other profiles\profile\missions\mission name. It depends on what you want to do, usually the description.ext executes automatically when the mission starts.

Also you can download:  arma edit

[Craig 0]

arrrr so it's just a simple text file. ok thanks. what I'm really after is background chat. oh yeah before I forget is there a way of synchronizing the description.ext to a trigger or way point.

[ck-claw 1]

oh yeah before I forget is there a way of synchronizing the description.ext to a trigger or way point.

No you cant sync them as such

But if i got this right?

If your sound is defined in the Description.Ext-

It can be called via a trigger.

Create a trigger then effects,then Track then u should see your sound file if defined correctly in the Decription.Ext.
