I am having problems defining the correct path to a sound file in the dubbings.pbo for a description.EXT CfgRadio class.




The full path to the actual file is
\dubbing.pbo\GLOBAL\RADIO\Male01\EN\secops\artillery\secop_artillery_29.wss

these are the path names that I have tried so far

//   "\dubbing\GLOBAL\RADIO\Male06\EN\secops\artillery\secop_artillery_29"
//    "dubbing\GLOBAL\RADIO\Male06\EN\secops\artillery\secop_artillery_29"
//   "..dubbing\GLOBAL\RADIO\Male06\EN\secops\artillery\secop_artillery_29"
//   "..\dubbing\GLOBAL\RADIO\Male06\EN\secops\artillery\secop_artillery_29"

I have proven the cfgradio class and the actual sound file by importing the actual file into a sound directory in the mission.pbo and then using a path to that sound folder, however If i were to add all the sound files to the mission.pbo, the filesize would become unmanageable so i need to point the cfgradio class to the actual file in the dubbing.pbo.


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Once again, kju will probably want to prove me wrong, but unless they've fixed this for A2, the answer to this is: you can't. It works in addon configs, but it doesn't work in the mission description.ext, even though the two look identical. I wish it did, but it doesn't.

The one who provides a working example mission that, only through adding it in the description.ext, is capable of refering to a sound that resides in one of BIS's pbos and making it work, will get a big ol' Wolfrug-cookie. No, not a "theorethically it would work like this", but tested and working please.

note: some sounds might actually have definitions in a cfgsounds someplace, which would make them show up in for instance a trigger's Effects/Anonymous sounds menu.

Sorry Terox!

Wolfrug out.

Thanks for the speedy reply, unfortunately, the artillery sounds are listed in cfgRadioprotocol, which is something new to ArmA2

What's the CfgPatch for dubbing.pbo? It's not always "dubbing".. for example "modules.pbo" is defined as "ca"

i also tried ca\dubbings
