playing .wav music looped?
2004-03-25, 6:53 PM #1
I'd like to know how to set up my MP level to play music, basically. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd appreciate it. If there's a tutorial or a cog available to do this somewhere, please just direct me to it, and I'm sorry I couldn't find on my own. Again, I appreciate it.

Well if you want to have music in certain sectors then go to the sector sound value in the sector's item box and change it to your wav. To put in your wav make a folder called sound in your project directory. Then in the sector's items box cange the volume to anything below 1. I usually use one but thats just me. If you want the music in every sector then go into sector mode hold alt and drag it over your level. Then repeat the above steps.

You could also have it play from a position (like a stereo -- fades as you get further away).

Here's a little cog I whipped up if you wanna use it. There's probably an LEC one already, but I don't feel like looking for it right now [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] .

Code: 
# Jedi Knight cog script
#
# playpossnd.cog
#
# Plays sound at a position and fades as you get further away, like
#  a radio or stereo.

[edit] After rereading your post, it sounds like you want to have it play throughout the whole level. If that's the case, you'll likely want to do what a_person said about selecting all sectors and setting the sound. Water sectors will be a problem though. If you have underwater sectors (and you want the sound to play underwater too) then you'd have to do it through this line:
PlaySoundGlobal(music, volume, 0.0, 0x81);

Just paste it over the PlaySoundPos() line in the above cog. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
