Title: Sounds...
Post by: trebeltom1 on September 15, 2013, 02:54:45 pm

i just can't get my custom sounds to work....
I have converted them succesfully, they appear in: C:\Users\Dale\Desktop\nazi zombies\raw\sound
(my root is C:\Users\Dale\Desktop\nazi zombies).
I add a sound alias which is for a cave sound and looks like this:

 name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,dist_reverb_max,limit_count,limit_type,entity_limit_count,entity_limit_type,bus,priority,spatialized,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,reverb_falloff_curve,subtitle,compression,randomize_type,secondaryaliasname,chainaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,probability,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage,center percentage,platform,envelop_min,envelop_max,envelop percentage,occlusion_level,move_type,move_time,real_delay,distance_lpf,min_priority,max_priority,min_priority_threshold,max_priority_threshold,doppler

cave,,cave,0.35,0.35,1,1,,,,,,,,ambience,,2d,streamed,,looping,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,40,80,0.25,1,

it is called dalesdig.csv and is in: C:\Users\Dale\Desktop\nazi zombies\raw\soundaliases

I added these lines to my dalesdig.csv in: C:\Users\Dale\Desktop\nazi zombies\zone_source :

 sound,dalesdig,,all_sp
sound,cave 

I compiled my map, ran it, and the sound is not emitting from a script struct with the kvps:

script_wait_max 20
script_wait_min 10
script_sound cave
targetname cave
script_label random


please can you help!!??

Your file name is probably wrong, unless your sound file does not have a file extension like .wav

so i changed the second cave in the sound alias to cave.wav

and the sound,cave to sound,cave.wav
recompiled, still nothing....

Are you building both the .iwd and the mod.ff files when building your mod? (unlike Treminaor's tut)
I found that solved my issues with for example the BO perk shaders not showing.

Recompiled map, mod.ff and iwd

No luck...

Your soundalias line has no compiler loadspec specified, yet you specified "all_sp" as the loadspec in your FF line.

Change your FF line to just be "sound,dalesdig,,," and remove the "sound,cave" as it is pointless.

If this still does not produce a working sound in-game, check your raw/sound folder to see if cave.wav even converted properly to there. If it did, make sure you copied it from raw/sound to root/mods/mapname/sound/ since you specified it as a streaming sound. Streaming sound means it will be streamed from the IWD instead of loaded into the fastfile.

changed sound aliases as required, removed sound,cave.wav
recompiled map, mod.ff and iwd, then checked for sound file in the iwd ( was there)
still no luck...

Probably is your script implementation of it - I've never bothered using built in KVPs on structs like that.

test your sound by doing

getPlayers()[0] playsound("cave");

somewhere.

so I put a little thread:

testsound()
{
wait(5);
getPlayers()[0] playsound("cave");
iPrintLnBold("played");
}

and surprise surprise, it just went straight to played, without playing the sound...

Your soundalias should start with cave,cave.wav (you forgot the file extension).
