Title: A question about "say" command.
Post by: Krieg on 19 Feb 2010, 09:37:10

I am using following variation (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=278&game=All) of say command. But, as always, it didn't work.

I defined sounds I want unit to say in description.ext, I am sure that they are defined well because they work with normal playSound command.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,
Krieg

Are your sounds defined under CfgSounds?

Yes, they are.

Works fine here for my test sound so it might be that your sounds are in the wrong format :dunno:

I'll try again, maybe I wrote something wrong, since my sounds are in .ogg.
Thanks for the replies, though! :good:

ogg is fine, it probably just needs to be mono, 44.1khz and 16bit.

This sounds silly, but have you tried restarting OFP? I have had this same problem, including being able to playSound but not Say, and for some reason restarting the game helped.

Indeed, those sound commands seem to be extremely temperamental.

I couldn't get my custom sounds in Village Depacification to work at first. Whereas most editors defined the text to be displayed with sounds in description.ext, I though I would save time by leaving those portions blank and used the scripted sideChat commands that I had written much earlier. Some (but bizarrely, not all) sounds would not work until I cut out the sideChat and defined the text in description.ext in the normal way.

If you can't get sound to work, I recommend a line-by-line comparison with any mission with working custom sounds.

It worked out after restart, thanks.
But apparently, characters still like to keep their mouths shut.

Anyways, thanks!
