Sound not playing - eagledude4 - 01-11-2012

OnStart:
Code:
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Custom/big_clock_chime.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0.0f, false);

big_clock_chime.snt:
Code:
<SOUNDENTITY>
  <SOUNDS>
      <Main>
          <Sound File="Custom/big_clock_chime" />
      </Main>
  </SOUNDS>
  <PROPERTIES Volume="0.5" MinDistance="20" MaxDistance="30" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="True" Loop="True" Use3D="True" Blockable="True" BlockVolumeMul="0.5" Priority="0" />
</SOUNDENTITY>

I want the sound to play at the clock entity as soon as the game starts, but it doesn't. The sound file is in redist/sounds/Custom.

remove Custom/ part and put your .snt file into cutom as well. It should work this way perfectly Smile

Also put the sounds in your custom story directory, so it plays for other people as well.

Remove the Custom/ from which file? the .hps, the .snt, or both? the .ogg and .snt are already in my sounds/Custom folder.

I will put it in my custom story when I'm ready to share it. As of now, the map file I test with isn't in my custom story directory, so no sounds will play if I put them there during testing.

Remove the Custom/ from the .hps and the .snt

Okay, done. I don't need the .ogg extension in the .snt file right?

Code:
<Sound File="big_clock_chime" />
Is that right?

No you should put the .ogg in there, and yes that looks good apart from the missing .ogg


RE: Sound not playing - eagledude4 - 01-12-2012

Okay, latest files:

OnStart:
Code:
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "big_clock_chime.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0.0f, false);


big_clock_chime.snt:
Code:
<SOUNDENTITY>
  <SOUNDS>
      <Main>
          <Sound File="big_clock_chime.ogg" />
      </Main>
  </SOUNDS>
  <PROPERTIES Volume="0.5" MinDistance="20" MaxDistance="30" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="True" Loop="True" Use3D="True" Blockable="True" BlockVolumeMul="0.5" Priority="0" />

Yep, should work.

For my other snt files, I didn't include the .ogg in the file name, and those sounds work. (Although I don't call them through the script)
