sound format and inclusion

[SiC-Disaster]

My question is, is ArmA 2 still using .ogg's as sound format?
And how does one get them to work in a mission?
I've tried a OFP/ArmA sound tutorial and it worked fine in those games, but when i try to use it in ArmA 2 the game crashes.
So is there a new format and a new way of including sounds?

[SiC-Disaster]

So nobody knows anything about this?

[SNKMAN]

As far as i can say you can't define sounds in the "Descripted.ext" of a mission.

Sounds only can be definied by using/creating a AddOn with a "Config.cpp"

[Junker]

you can use do them you just need to make sure it ends with 3 of these }; at the end of the description..

     class junkz

};

Plus when it does drop u to desk top you should get an error box telling you what you are missing..

[SiC-Disaster]

Thanks for the info guys.
Gonna try it again, it seems it was missing a }; at the bottom of the file.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Edit: it still doesnt work.
It gave me the same error as it gave me before:
line 53:/CfgMusic/: Missing '}'

But i dont know where to put it, it's confusing as i really can't read code without getting a major headache. It's at the bottom, that i know. I put 3x }; there, that didnt work.
Then i put the last one } instead of }; and that didnt work either.
Could any of you be so kind as to make the file for me? That would be really appreciated.
Soundfile should be called Sample1.

[pogoman979]

class CfgMusic
{
 tracks[]={};

 class Sample1
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {"Sample1.ogg", db+0, 1.0};
 };

};

just put that in the description file.

can u post the description in here so we can see where your going wrong..?

But looking at the error u need to count down to line 53 and see whats missing along that line.

[SiC-Disaster]

This is the stuff from the .Ext file.

class CfgMusic
{
tracks[]={};

class Music1
{
name = "Music1";
sound[] = {\music\Music1.ogg, db+40, 1.0};
};
class Music2
{
name = "Music2";
sound[] = {\music\Music2.ogg, db+40, 1.0};
};



class CfgEnvSounds
{
sounds[]={Ambience1};

class Ambience1
{
name="Ambience1";
sound[]={"Ambience1.ogg",db-20,0,1};
soundNight[]={"Ambience1.ogg",db-40,0,1};
};
};



class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = { Sample1, Sound2, };
class Sample1
{
name = "Sample1";
sound[] = {"Sample1.ogg", db+20, 1.0};
titles[] =
{
0, $STRM_Sample1
};
};
class Sound2
{
name = "Sound2";
sound[] = {"Sound2.ogg", db+20, 1.0};
titles[] =
{
0, $STRM_Sound2
};
};
}

[Junker]

try this

I highlighted the stuff for you to see where i adjusted it

class CfgMusic
{
tracks[]={Music1, Music2};

class Music1
{
name = "Music1";
sound[] = {\music\Music1.ogg, db+40, 1.0};
};
};
class Music2
{
name = "Music2";
sound[] = {\music\Music2.ogg, db+40, 1.0};
};
};


class CfgEnvSounds
{
sounds[]={Ambience1};

class Ambience1
{
name="Ambience1";
sound[]={"Ambience1.ogg",db-20,0,1};
soundNight[]={"Ambience1.ogg",db-40,0,1};
};
};



class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {Sample1, Sound2};
class Sample1
{
name = "Sample1";
sound[] = {"Sample1.ogg", db+20, 1.0};
titles[] =
{
0, $STRM_Sample1
};
};
class Sound2
{
name = "Sound2";
sound[] = {"Sound2.ogg", db+20, 1.0};
titles[] =
{
0, $STRM_Sound2
};
};
};

Thanks alot Junker, but i'm afraid i crashed again :\

Config: some input after EndOfFile. is what it says. I'm at a loss to what that might mean?
