Title: briefing sounds
Post by: 456820 on 25 Mar 2005, 09:12:02

ok i have defined the sounds that i want to play on my briefing in the description.ext as a sound file in a sound folder is that right or should it be a enviromental sound or sfx
anyway then i call it in the description.ext like this

Code: [Select]

onBriefingGear = "sound1";
onBriefingGroup = "sound2";
onBriefingNotes = "sound3";
onBriefingPlan "sound4";
rest of file here
so thats what i put its what the com ref says to put but it doesnt seem to play the sound there only like second long files of like guns gettinng cocked for the gear and things

Just use normal sound files, but I think you are using the wrong file

Code:onBriefingGear = "sound1";
onBriefingGroup = "sound2";
onBriefingNotes = "sound3";
onBriefingPlan "sound4";

That code should be in init.sqs not in description.ext

description.ext should have:
   class sound1
   {
      name = "";
      sound[] = {"\sound\sound1.ogg", 0.3, 1};
      titles[] = {};
   };

etc.

You can't.  The sound is one time only.

Not wrong sound files.  Wrong text files.  You said you put the instructions in description.ext,  I said that is wrong, they should be in init.sqs
