Voice/dialog

So...

I need a lot of dialog and other sound effects for an upcoming campaign but it does not work for me. I have been searching for various solutions and this is what I have done so far.

1. I converted the soundfile to .wav

2. I used Audacity and set the file to mono, and then to 16bit.

3. I saved the file as Ogg Vorbis.

4. I created the sound-folder

5. I added this description:

showCompass = 0;
showGPS = 0;
showWatch = 0;

class CfgSounds
{
(.ogg files without the .ogg extension)
sounds[] = {Siberiahell2};


class Siberiahell2
{
	name = "Siberiahell2";
	sound[] = {\sound\Siberiahell2.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
	titles[] = {0, ""};
};
};

I tried to activate the sound via a trigger, but there was no sound. I also tried this say "siberiahell" but I did not hear anything. The file appear in Voice. The game reads the file - at least I think so - because there is no error.

Any suggestions how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I may not be 100% on this, as I have only started with custom sounds only in the past two weeks. But mine looks like this;

class castle2
{
name = "castle2"; // Name for mission editor
sound[] = {\sounds\castle2.ogg, 0.4, 1.0};
titles[] = {0, ""};
};

And in the trigger I call it with player say ["castle2",3]

Is what I use to call it & works.

Think you forgot the [ ] around the name & volume. Also not sure the db + is needed in the description. I can't be 100% on that, someone may want to back that up.

The sound seems not to be read when I used that script. There is no error message, but now it doesn't appear in the trigger menu.

Does anyone have a solution for my problem?

Because I really need environmental sounds aswell as voices.

Have you tried

player say "Siberiahell2"

Also whenever you edit description.ext you need to do a Ctrl+S in the editor for the change to apply before you preview.

The format for the sound would be the following:

sound[] = {"\sound\Siberiahell2.ogg", 1, 1};

"Filename", volume, pitch

Use the classname when referring to the sound, so something like this:

playSound Siberiahell2

Also The (.ogg files without .ogg extension) isn't a valid comment and might be processed by the .ext file. To prevent this add // infront of that line.
