Custom music

[DestroyerX 0]

Hi,

I have this in the description.ext:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = {

talk1, talk2, talk3

};

class talk1

{

name = "talk1";

sound[] = {"talk1.ogg", db+290, 1.0};

titles[] =

{

};

};

class talk2

{

name = "talk2";

sound[] = {"talk2.ogg", db+290, 1.0};

titles[] =

{

};

};

class talk3

{

name = "talk3";

sound[] = {"talk3.ogg", db+290, 1.0};

titles[] =

{

};

};

class CfgMusic

{

tracks[]=

{

piano, light, rain

};

class piano

{

name = "piano";

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

};

class light

{

name = "light";

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

};

class rain

{

name = "rain";

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

};

<span id='postcolor'>

And the sounds are working but I can't choose the music anymore! And the playmusic "rain"; command doesn't work either.

I had a topic earlier of this and at that moment it worked but now not anymore

Can anyone help me please?

Hmmm. Have you checked that the problem isn't in the music file itself. I had that problem and it was fixed when I converted the ogg file again with 22khz and about 60kbps. Trust me, it could really help.

I think its not the files but the description.ext. You see, when I do the music first and after that the sounds, the music will work but the sounds dont

I tried some other Little things to change it, but nothing seems to work... Does anybody knows?

Add another "};" at the end of your description-file.

The extra "};" at the end, tells OFP that this is the end of the file or something. If you leave it out, then OFP waits for what to come next after the "rain"-class. -Therefore class:"rain" won't work as it is incomplete.

I'm no programmer, but I think this is how OFP uses that file

Thanks for the suggestion Shadow, but it didn't work  .

This is pretty stupid, since I work quite a long time with custom music & sounds...

[DestroyerX 0]

*Bump*

[DestroyerX 0]

Please! Anyone?!! I tried some things but I still havent figure it out yet!

[Dawdler 0]

Are you sure it isnt just that its playing with to low volume?

when comparing with the sound its waaaaaaay lower

Im no mission editor so I dont know... But its what I see from looking at the file.

The fact that you are lacking an end bracket on CfgSounds can also have something to do with it

[DestroyerX 0]

No, the deal is: You cant even pick the music-files on the Effects-tab of a trigger.

But CfgSounds is incomplete, hence CfgMusic wont work...

Try what I said, if it doesnt work, my wrong.

[DestroyerX 0]

Sorry, but what do you mean exactley with Cfgsounds isnt complete n stuff? Can you be more specific please?

[DestroyerX 0]

No matter, I see what you mean, I'll try it, thx

[shadow 6]

I never pick my custom music from a list in the editor. I allways use the playmusic-command

[DestroyerX 0]

I did what you said about the cfgsounds. And added an end-thingie at the end but the game locks up now.

Never mind, I did cclas instead of class. Thanks! I got it to work now!!

Cheers!

Well, Im glad to have been of help

I also have a similar stupid (well, yours is not stupid, but obvious ) problem with my trainscript... One way of coding screws it up (really short way and easy, another makes it work (longer, though not troublesome), but they are exactly the same in principle and function...

Went like this:

Way1:

if(COND1): DoSomethingEasy; ResetCondition

Way2:

if(COND1 and COND2): DoSomething1; ResetCondition

if(COND1 and COND3): DoSomething2; ResetCondition

if(COND1 and COND4): DoSomething3; ResetCondition

if(COND1 and COND5): DoSomething4; ResetCondition

Way2 works. Way1 dont.

But another way, Way3 does:

Way3:

if(COND1 and COND2): DoSomethingEasy; ResetCondition

if(COND1 and COND3): DoSomethingEasy; ResetCondition

if(COND1 and COND4): DoSomethingEasy; ResetCondition

if(COND1 and COND5): DoSomethingEasy; ResetCondition

Any condition can be met, same result, hence it is exactly as Way1... But Way1 will NOT work (DoSomethingEasy is a merge of ...1-4, I used manual atan instead of atan2...)

Everyone hates coding, dont we?
