Newbie editor with very basic sound cog problem
2002-12-03, 4:58 PM #1
My problem is that in JK I can't get the random ambiet sound cog, or the music sound track cog to work.

YES!! I HAVE DONE THE TUTORIALS ON SOUND AND FOLLOWED THEM TO THE LETTER. Is there something else that I have to do that is not mentioned in the tutorials. It is probably something basic but because I am new I just don't know.

Perhaps someone can explain it to me even more simply, you know, like explaining it to a 4 yr old!!

Uhh . . . TB . . . that is NOT going to work. Consult your copy of the JKspecs/Datamaster . . Playsoundlocal() has 4 args; the sound, the volume, panning, and the play flags. All are mandatory.


Code: 
Symbols
Message Activated
Thing Console
Sound Sample
End
Code
Activated:
Playsoundlocal(Sample, 1, 0, 0);
Stop;
End


That one will work.

And Brad, . . might I ask, are you using custom sounds, perchance created with MS' Sound Recorder?

Nope, sorry. I'm not trying to use custom sounds guys.
Only the ones supplied.

Thanks for your help. I'll try your suggested cog GBK.

The names of the cogs that I can't get to work are "01_soundtrack.cog" & "16a_randomabient.cog"

any help with thees two would be great.
thanks.

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

GBK oNline. Cogs, tuts, and total w00tage.
