	local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
	local.master aliascache ring sound/amb/ring.wav soundparms 2.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 200 4000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"
	local.master aliascache open sound/amb/open.wav soundparms 2.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 200 4000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"
	local.master aliascache kawoosh sound/amb/kawoosh.wav soundparms 2.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 200 4000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj"
level waittill prespawn

That should work.

Try re typing it, maybe there are some extra spaces or line breaks...

Hmm never heard of this problem before...

Are you absolutely sure you can't hear the sound? Do you get any errors in the console? What kind of entities (classname) are $speaker1 and $speaker2?

Try changing the channel the sound plays on, like 'item' instead of auto.

yes i m totally sure

in game i change the script command playsound to loopsound

playsound worked but loopsound dont want
thats the only thing i changed

my speakers are script_origin then i ll try item...........

thx.

same dont work ........is there any rapport with the sound's quality?

i mean the bitrates .....do i have to convert the .wav to lowest quality ?

actually is 88 kbps

You sould not use "open" as the name because it is a script command word. Change it to "open_snd" or something like that.

level waittill spawn
thread start_sounds
end

//================

start_sounds:

wait 1 // sometimes a little wait is required
$speaker1 loopsound open_snd
$speaker2 loopsound open_snd

end

Code: Select all


main:

////////////////////////sound//////////////////////////// 
   local.master = spawn ScriptMaster 
   local.master aliascache open_gate sound/amb/oepn.wav soundparms 2.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 200 4000 auto loaded maps "m dm obj" 


bla bla bla


wait 0.1====> added a key wait (tried even without )

$speaker1 loopsound open_gate====> changed open by open_gate 
$speaker2 loopsound open_gate

dont work

Hmm...

Try using a script_model with these key/values:

model/ fx/dummy.tik
targetname speaker1

Although any entity can be a speaker, try that...

I got the wave file from him and tried it with a script_origin. Wouldn't work for me either. Changing it to a script_model fixed it, but still doesn't explain why loopsound fails with a script_origin. It might be something to do with it being an 8 bit wave file, not sure.

I guess script_origin's can only play certain formats, while script_models can play all?

I have used script_origins to loop sound before with no problems. All of the stock wave files in the game are 16bit format.

blue60007 · Post by **blue60007** » Sat May 15, 2004 5:01 am

Then I guess script_origins only support 16bit audio.

yes think same .......a script_origin can read some kind of format

my .wav was a 8 bit and only playable via script_model fx/dummy.tik
