sound + string

[456820]

i have a problem wen i put my description + stringtable files in my folder and use it in my mission all i get is the writin from the stringtable but not the sound it says "sound" not found. Im sure i did the 2 files wright.

+ does anyone know any good sites with readymade voice and radio sounds on prefered alraedy .ogg but i dont mind

Are your sounds in the right directory (Mission\Sound)? If this is not the problem could you please paste the relivent part of your decription.ext?

A good site for free sounds is sounddogs.com. Not sure what voice sounds you are looking for, but they are likely your best bet.

the sounds werent right but thanks anyway i mean like ofp radio messages that you recieve in the game. And the sound file was right so heres the description thing (class CfgSounds
{
   sounds[] =    { Clear };

   class Clear
   {
      name = "";
      sound[] = {"Clear.ogg", db-40, 1.0};
      titles[] =
      {
         0, $STRM_Clear
      };
   };
};


class CfgRadio
{
   sounds[] =
      { Roger that };

   class pilot1
   {
      name = "";
      sound[] = {"Roger that.ogg", db-40, 1.0};
      title = $STRM_Roger                )im sure thats wriight as ive used the concept of that to do sumit else wich worked after along time. Something useful wud be a descriptions.exe file wich you just fill in were needed so if anyone has anythin like dat please send it me

[C0LDSt33L]

Well I can't see anything wrong there  :-\. As for .ext generators you'll have to check the editors depo although all the generators I've seen don't do the sounds, only weapons and stuff like that.

[General Barron]

i mean like ofp radio messages that you recieve in the game

You can depbo the official missions and steal the sounds that way. But what, are you expecting to be able to find a site that just happens to have a specific sentence you want, recorded and ready for download? Yeah right. Just grab a microphone and record it yourself, like everyone else does.

As for your description.ext: OFP automatically assumes you are putting your sounds in a folder called "sound", inside your mission folder. If you put the sound somewhere else, you have to describe the path to OFP. I'm not quite sure on the specifics, but you can just save yourself the hassle, and put your sounds in a folder called "sound".

Something useful wud be a descriptions.exe file wich you just fill in were needed so if anyone has anythin like dat please send it me

All you have to do is depbo a mission that has sound in it, and look at their description.ext.

If your still wondering what's wrong, here's the deal: you've listed some other sounds classname than you've used in the description.ext and prolly ingame/in a script too. The red colored bits need to contain the same classname. Also, I don't think any spaces in filenames are allowed.

class CfgRadio
{
   sounds[] =
      { Roger that };

   class pilot1
   {
      name = "";
      sound[] = {"Roger that.ogg", db-40, 1.0};
      title = $STRM_Roger          ...

You need to use the setgroupid command.

In order to use "papa bear", check part of this tut here:

how do i make radio calls come up in blue like on the official game instead of that green? does anyone know

The color shown depends on the command used:
globalchat / globalradio     ->     white
sidechat / sideradio           ->      blue
groupchat / groupradio      ->     green
vehiclechat / vehicle radio  ->     yellow

The command used also determines who can actually hear the message (if you use the "vehiclechat" command, the player must be in the vehicle with the man using the command in order to hear it).

[456820]

thanks for that

just to clear it up:

The red colored bits need to contain the same classname. Also, I don't think any spaces in filenames are allowed.

class CfgRadio
{
   sounds[] =
      { Roger that };

   class pilot1
   {
      name = "";
      sound[] = {"Roger that.ogg", db-40, 1.0};
      title = $STRM_Roger  

you don't even need to define the classes in the sounds[]={ } file. I haven't used it on any of my missions with sound.   (And BIS hardly ever uses it.)      

[456820]

yes thanks that made it alot easier
