Custom sound looping music not working :?

[captainkirk]

Hey, i'v seen the tut a few days ago about custom sound looping with distance, but i cant seem to get it working

Code: Select all

music_multiple_items()
{
	wait 20;
	respect_box = getentarray("music_radio","targetname");
	
	iPrintLnBold(respect_box.size);
	for(i=0;i<respect_box.size;i++)
	{
		respect_box[i] playLoopSound("music"); // Soundalias = respect
		iPrintLnBold("i = " + i);
	}
}

The alias is music, and script origin is set on music_radio, targetname.. also box size says 0 when i try to display it to see if its working.. been trying for ages lol thanks for any help, csv file is fine i think and its added to zone as well.. also mp3file is 96kbps.

How many entities named 'music_radio' do you have in your map?

[Drofder2004]

Post your CSV and the contents of your map zone file.

And i only have one script origin with music_radio, targetname in it thanks replies appreciate it.

I assume this is for CoD4 and not vCoD (as forum suggests?)

Code: Select all

sound,mp_ghost_town,,!all_mp

change to:

Code: Select all

sound,mp_ghost_town,,all_mp

Also, in my tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=15478
Use the "single item" function when you are only using one radio.

[captainkirk]

Okay, iv changed the zone file from !all to all, and now using

Code: Select all

thread music_one_item();

Code: Select all

music_one_item()
{
   respect_single = getent("music_radio", "targetname") playLoopSound("music");
}

and yeah its only for cod4

Just tested than and cant hear any music

[Drofder2004]

Make sure "/developer 1" is on before loading your map and also, make sure you have placed your music file in the correct sound directories (also in your IWD file, inside a usermaps folder called my_map)

[captainkirk]

Okay well my iwd now has a folder inside it "mp_ghost_town" with "music.mp3" inside it, and its in raw/sound/mp_ghost_town/music.mp3, developer is on and is saying.

Error: Couldn't play stream 'sound/mp_ghost_town/music.mp3' from alias 'music' - Unable to open file.

[Drofder2004]

Your IWD should have the file structure "sound/map/sound.mp3"

I also had this error, however when I moved my 2 .ff files and my IWD file over to my main CoD4 install, it all worked fine.

If you run 2 installations (which you really should when modding) then try on second install.

Thanks! i do have 2 btw, ill try it now. Its a very annoying thing, sound.

Okay just tried it, i have a teleport sound also set up the same way but with a trigger_multi. The custom sound on that is working just fine, i dont have the cannot play sound error anymore there is just no sound coming out of the script_origin. very strange

Okay i worked out why, in the csv i had min 0 max 1 volume, when i set them both 1 it works fine and goes off at a distance thanks for all your help!

Glad you got it sorted, however the issue of changing 0 to 1 should not have 'solved' the issue, just changed the way the sound was working. You may have needed to adjust the distances to which you were playing the sound from and to. With 1,1 sound, you do not get any fall-off to the sound, just simply on and off.
