Well heres a .cog that plays a .wav as a background soundtrack. There is a problem with the volume however. When the level first starts, it plays fine with normal volume. When the player dies, however, and the level restarts, the song restarts and the volume is reduced drastically. I have no idea why this happens, but maybe someone here can figure it out:
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# sndtrack.cog
#
#
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

symbols

message startup

sound music=fanfare2.wav

int player local

end

# ========================================================================================

code

startup:

player = GetLocalPlayerThing();

playsoundlocal(music, 1, 0, 0x1);

return;

end

I don't know why the sound level is affected. The "int player local" and "player = GetLocalPlayerThing();" aren't used for anything in that cog. Is this for multiplayer of single player?

This is for single player only. I thought that I took those out and it didnt work so I put them back in...maybe not. Well Ill try it without them anyway. If someone could just write me a quick .cog to play a .wav as a soundtrack in single player, that'd be great!

ok I just took out those 2 lines and it still works. Thanks. However, its still having the volume problem

Another suggestion would be to putting a Sleep(1.0); statement before the starting the sound -- just a thought. It is done for some other cogs so that it gives the system time to start up before the cog is active.

That did it! You ARE all that and a bag of chips!

Wow, glad that that guess worked! You can e-mail me some potato chips at your earliest convenience.
