Custom sounds

[spirit 0]

Since i cant find a thread that covers my desire complete i started a new one.

I am busy with making all environment changes to Watkins island. I fixed all environment sounds like wind/snow storms etc fine. Now the next step is the sound for walking in snow. Since snow is not a defined sound in the character.pbo i been searching.

So what i want? In the config file you can attach sounds to texture right. So say files='SNOW' sound='SNOW'. That stuff. Now i copied some code

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

class SoundEnvironExt {

snow = {{"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run1", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run2", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run3", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run4", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run5", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run6", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run7", 0.000562, 1}, {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run8", 0.000562, 1}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run5", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run6", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run7", 0.000562, 1}}, {"run", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\run8", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk5", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk6", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk7", 0.000562, 1}}, {"walk", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\walk8", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint5", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint6", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint7", 0.000562, 1}}, {"sprint", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\sprint8", 0.000562, 1}}, {"crawl", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\crawl1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"crawl", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\crawl2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"crawl", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\crawl3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"crawl", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\crawl4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"standup", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\up1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"standup", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\up2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"standup", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\up3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"standup", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\up4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"laydown", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\down1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"laydown", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\down2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"laydown", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\down3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"laydown", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\down4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"bodyfall", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\fall_to_ground1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"bodyfall", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\fall_to_ground2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"bodyfall", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\fall_to_ground3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"bodyfall", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\rock\fall_to_ground4", 0.000562, 1}}, {"swim", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\swim\swim5", 0.017783, 1}}, {"swim", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\swim\swim6", 0.017783, 1}}, {"swim", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\swim\swim7", 0.017783, 1}}, {"slide", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\sliding\sliding1", 0.000562, 1}}, {"slide", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\sliding\sliding2", 0.000562, 1}}, {"slide", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\sliding\sliding3", 0.000562, 1}}, {"ladder", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\ladder\ladder11", 0.000562, 1}}, {"ladder", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\ladder\ladder12", 0.000562, 1}}, {"ladder", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\ladder\ladder13", 0.000562, 1}}, {"ladder", {"\ca\characters\data\sound\ladder\ladder14", 0.000562, 1}}};

};

};

I expected this code to be able to enable sound when choosing SNOW as sound to mask. However nothing happens. Anybody knows a way of defining a custom sound for characters for walk, crawl etc in the right way without overwriting the default ones ofcourse. There is no error or something, it just doesnt work. All i try do here is take the standard rock code and renamed it to SNOW. When that works i can simple change sounds for my own desire....

Anybody? Tx in advance for reading/answering!

Just saw something odd. In the code of characters.pbo the sound of snow is already defined and it also points to the ca\ sound shit to a place called snow. Now the odd thing is, there is no snow sounds in that dir. I might be in some luck by just making a pbo that puts all that stuff in the "standard" location since there is nothing to overwride

!SOLVED!

Took me a while as a non config wizard but i now got it working. I can define any sort of sound and attach it to the configsurfaces. Means i am finaly free of the default sounds. Created a new sound wtkn_snow and i works fine. Needed to create a shitload of wss files but its worth it:)

And i dont overwrite anything:)

Only odd thing is that the sound seems to travel endless:( Amazin how how hard they can make it to make a footstep sound. If anybody knows how that can happen then pls.

And yes the sound SNOX is just an example going here. Now only thing i need find out where ya define the travel of sound. Maybe just the volume of walk 3-4 or what ever... Now you can hear a squad moving in the snow from the other side of the watkins:)
