Title: How to add music to your breifing
Post by: NightJay0044 on 07 Feb 2009, 07:48:42

Hi, I want to add my own custom music song to a breifing, just before the players clicks start mission. So they can have something to listen to..

I dont' understand how to do this, can someone help? Thanks...I can set it up in the description and stuff but I don't know understand how to make the sound so someone can hear it in the breifing..

Thanks a bunch.

Music and sound are not possible in the briefing in Arma like it was in OFP.

Are you sure? What about the onBriefing....line of commands?

onBriefingGear (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=235)
onBriefingGroup (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=236)
onBriefingNotes (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=237)
onBriefingPlan (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=238)
onBriefingTeamSwitch (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=666)

Seems kind of stupid to introduce a wholly new ArmA-only command to do with teamswitching if it doesn't work, wouldn't you think?  :dunno:

Anyway, I'm not even entirely sure where you're supposed to put those (init.sqf?), but if you haven't tried already, try again!

Wolfrug out.

The onBriefing... commands work fine. They have to be added to the init.sqf.

Hmm, Forgive me for speaking half informed guys. I did check on this subject over a year ago and I did try and accomplish it as they were used in OFP but I had no luck. I also checked the BIS forums for advice but nothing was helpful. If these commands do however work for ARMA, then I too would like to know how they are used.
Again, sorry for inserting my foot in my mouth, I should have checked again before posting.

I didn't even know these commands exist until an hour after Wolfrug posted them. Using my mighty google skills I then found out where to put them. The real problem however was getting the %@&# CfgSounds section correct in description.ext...
