Hey there Shaggy man, sorry but i dont come here as often as i used too And after seing u say its ok, few days ago i just figured that all was cool hehe. Anyways ill look into ur problem later today cos im kinda busy right now.

Ah navy seals.....

Ok lets see here. First i suggest u change the names u use in description.ext to something like this

class CfgMusic
{
  tracks[]=
  {
      song1
  };
 
  class song1
  {
      name = "song1";
      sound[] = {\music\song1.ogg, db+30, 1.0};
  };
};
Didnt work?! Make sure that the file is in the right directory and that the folder is named properly. So if u say that its in \music\song1.ogg directory then check if ur folder is named Music and is in the mission folder.
Didnt work?! Then check the sound file itself. Make sure that it is converted at Frequency 44100Hz, 128kbps Bit Rate, 16 bit, stereo, Encoding - Constant Bitrate!!! I suggest u use dbPowerAMP simple and easy to use and does the job well.
Didnt work?! Well then i guess ill have to check ur mission, sound file, description.ext and everything that u r doing. Another alternative is i can make a simple small mission and u can go from there. Check the description.ext with urs, try playing ur sound file in the mission. SO if its not gonna work then ull know that u havent converted it properly.
Well besides that, i think is all im gonna have to say for now. Let me know if u r experiencing any problems and what kind.
Cheers

Question:
 I have created a looping script that plays music when when the vehicles dammage is below half...but it keeps looping even when vehicle is repaired....could someone plz help me to figure out how to stop this?

the vehicles are _this....in other words no named cause its running off of a respawn as well..thanx ;D

[Navy_Seals]

Lets see if i still remember this hahaha.
In ur loop before it goes to the starting point to play music, put this.

? getDammage _this > 0.5: 5 fadeMusic 0

Well something like that. And i think u should ask this question in the general forum. Ull get more replies.

Cheers

Navy Seals, sorry man. I am still having trouble, I was wondering if you have some time on your hands as you said, could you make a small mission with the sound file in it and either upload to your website (if you have one) or email it to me? I will post my main email address on this if you wish to send via email.

:cheers:

Hey Shaggy i think i did a mission a while back and poste it here, should be on page 3 of this tutorial, but if u cant find it then here is a direct link http://ofptf.ofprc.net/hosted/NS/DropZone.Abel.zip
Well its nothing fancy, besides i did it like 4 month ago or so but it should do just fine. Well let me know if everything is cool
Cheers

I dloaded that a while ago of you when you posted about it on the forum. It never worked because the addons .....i never had  :-\

Sorry to put you through this confusion.

Hey really helpful!! ;D

but is there a script to add a controler to your radio so that you can turn
the music that u have added on/off???

[GaryP]

Thank you for the tutorial.  I am a newbe (2 weeks).  I guess I'll always be learning something.  

Antway, I got all the sounds working great, but I will mention that wav2lip needs to be in the root of your drive.  (C:\ or D:\) It would not work for me any other way.

dBpowerAMP rocks.  I use it to convert my .wav files from the windows recorder to the correct format.

Thanks to you, and to all who made the tutorials.  I am also a programmer by trade.  I am working on a way to automate all of this.
  Maybe read all of the files in a folder and create the discription file because it's a pain.


And here's a side note.  The GoldWav software makes really cool radio voices.  I'm using it now.  Thanks for a super tip.

If you were to read the readme for wav2lip you will find that it will work when put in any path, provided there are no spaces in any of the directory names.

Mine's at:
G:\opflashpoint\working
and goes fine
