[SOLVED]CS voice placement - FlawlessHappiness - 10-27-2012
Ok so i've been searching for this, but didn't get the answer i needed.
I have a LOT of voicefiles, and they all work properly for me if:
-I have place the files in Amnesia the Dark Descent/redist/lang/eng/voices/
I have the exact same path in my custom story (lang/eng/voices/), but when i then try to call the voice files without having them in the redist/lang/eng/voices/ i get a blackbox error.
I am calling AddEffectVoice("voice_mark_hall_9.ogg", "", "Voice", "voice_mark_hall_9", false, "", 0, 0);
So why won't it search for my voicefile in my custom story folder?

Well, if I use an .ogg file that isn't there. It will just simply not play.
If the filename is MyVoice.ogg and do this:
AddEffectVoice("MyVoise.ogg", "", "Voice", "voice_mark_hall_9", false, "", 0, 0);
It will not recognize it, and so it will not play. I don't get a fatal error or blackbox error.
(I don't think the problem lies in the location of the file...)
PS
Don't forget to place the voice file in the folder
redist/custom_stories/your_custom_story/lang/eng/voices/diaries/
if it's a note or a diary!
RE: CS voice placement - FlawlessHappiness - 10-27-2012
This is a simple voice file. It is located in redist/custom_stories/Digressiophobia - Chapter 2/lang/eng/voices/VOICEFILES
But when i call AddEffectVoice("voice_mark_hall_9.ogg", "", "Voice", "voice_mark_hall_9", false, "", 0, 0); it simply won't play the voicefile. All names are correct!!!
EDIT: in other custom stories i didn't have to move any files to be able to hear the voice acting. I just don't understand why i can't hear my own
ex. Followed by death, does not have lang/eng/ in the custom story. It is just custom_stories/Followed by death/voices/FILES

Only
/voices/diaries
/voices/flashbacks
/voices/level
/voices/monolog
What is it that you're trying to do? Are you trying to voice a diary? Are you trying to voice a flashback?

It's a normal voice. You know, the character is speaking.
EDIT: Ok i think i got it. I just once experienced that this didn't work. I guess the blackbox error was just some kind of mistake. Anyway, it works now. There was one minor problem in the .lang file, but that is fixed
RE: CS voice placement - Melvin - 10-27-2012
You can set up an area. And then just use the
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "YourArea", "YourFunction", true, 1);
}
void YourFunction (string &in asParent , string &in asChild , int alState)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "voice_mark_hall_9.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}
And place it in
redist/custom_stories/yourcustomstory/sounds/
Be sure to convert voice_mark_hall_9 to .snt. And place the .ogg and the .snt files both in redist/custom_stories/yourcustomstory/sounds/ !
