A Battle, Sound - Any ideas ?

[rhysduk]

Hi all,

I am currently mkaing a mission i could do with some ideas as to what music i could possibly use - heres the situation

Uknown forces are about to commence an assualt on a small US Base on Everon.. i would like some tense / fast music to add an atmosphere to the Intro..

Any suggestions ?

Rhys

[dmakatra]

Why don't you attatch the intro to us and we'll go from there?

:beat: *Gets Attatched* :beat:

Hi mate - the thing is i was planning on releasing this misison - as it is my first one i would like people to mkae a comment on their first impression - if oyu know what i mean ...

I dont want poeple commenting on my mission when they allready kno what it is like - i want a first impression - im blabbing ...

as it is an intro - imagine the camera is looking down on the assault as it is commencing..

Does this help ?

how about O fortuna composed by Barr (I think).  Not sure if it's the right name, but I'm sure you've heard it a million times in movies/commercials etc.  Very dramatic, starts slow and climaxes nicely and the latin chanting is always a nice touch...

Hans Zimmer rules!!!

[Tibby]

i've got some kind of music which you can't hear...
but then it starts into explosions and yelling and gunshots


someone used it on the hamburger beach

which was a great mission and was different to an omaha beach mission...

but you'll have to wait until i get my lan sorted cuz it's on the uva com.

[rhysduk]

ok Thanks Guys,

@Grendel

Where can i find this peice of music ?

@MPKing

Any particular name of a track or are you gonna keep me in the dark ;D

@Tibby

Sounds a right likle gem ;D

Hanz Zimmer makes alot of great movie music, The Peacemaker, The Gladiator and Black Hawk Down just to name a few.
Music from The Peacemaker would go great with a mission i think.

Hey thanks dude - ill look inot it and et you all now - could u lot please answer a few morre queries i have convcerning sound please ?

1. - I have an intro with some music - i played the intro yesterday and it worked exactly as i wanted it to ;D but today the intro plays and no sound   i can hear (what i htink) is the music file starting and then stopping...

Rhys

Do you mind sharing the music? I could use it too.

Anyway, to answer your question: Did you do anything that might have changed it somehow? Did you alter it in some way?

Thanks.

@ Grim Monkey

I have not altered or changed it in anyway at all  

Music and Sound with OFP does not go !!!

Yeha course i will share the music wiht ya ;D

Rhys

[GrimMonkey]

Thanks!

Well, I have no idea what's wrong. Retrace your steps and see if you did something that included using the music, all I can think of.

I think it's best to use the sounds OFP provided, how limited they might be.


Beware the Music!

[rhysduk]

These sounds that OFP provide - htey are the ones thta you get from DePBO'ing the PBO files within the game - correct ?

Never tried them - ;D Ill give it a shot...

[GrimMonkey]

I haven't used the DePBO tool much,

Seems kind of risky...

What I meant was the sounds and music you can find in the 'Effects' bar in Waypoints and Triggers.

Another tip for music/sound that doesn't work: ReInstall it and see if something happens.


Beware the GrimMonkey

[rhysduk]

Its not risky ta all.. if you use Amalfi's then it works like a dream ;D

Ah i know whta you're talking about..

Do you mena reinstall the game ? U cant reinstall the game u have to uninstall it and start from scratch - well you do on mine nyway ;D

Rhys

[GrimMonkey]

No no no!

Stop! Hold on!
<Pant><pant>

*GrimMonkey collaspes in exhaustion*

That's not what I meant; I mean reinstall or copy/paste or however you did it again. The music I mean .

attach  your description.ext    or an example mission?

[rhysduk]

Its bigger than 50kb... So i cant sorry...

Music is 100kb and the EXT if about 4 KB...

Why is the limit so low

RHys - I can email them if u want.. let me know

[Iwesshome]

Place it on some free web space and give us the link  

[GrimMonkey]

*GrimMonkey attaches two jumper cables to the thread and pulls a switch*

Sorry, I hate restarting threads but I need to.

rhysduk, please take into account what Iwesshome suggested. If you haven't already.
I could really use that music!

*GrimMonkey rips his hair out*

Oh yeah, why IS the limit so low? I forget who, but I think some other forums got hold of unlimited space to put junk. Fact, or fiction?

*GrimMonkey strokes his chin thinking for six hours*

Oh yeah, why IS the limit so low? I forget who, but I think some other forums got hold of unlimited space to put junk. Fact, or fiction?

Because if we set it higher than 50KB, people use start using OFPEC as their own personal online storage area. This is a fact drawn from previous experiences here at OFPEC.

So if we open it up, people abuse it and it then degrades the service we provide to you all.

So there is method to our madness.

Trust us, for each decision made on forum & site setup, we work out how best to allow you all the most freedom without risking the level of service.

@Grim

I am working on it... please give me more time to sort this out... a couple more days and it will be up and running..

Patience my man ;D

Rhys

[GrimMonkey]

Actually,

It's more of the fact that if I do not see a response within the next 2-3 days, I presume them MIA or KIA.

Another nasty habit .
