Explosion sounds

[the r@t]

Hello

I've started on a new map (since rookie_one is working on harbor)

I've added some mortar hits in the map. But they don't have sound.

So I went looking for one. I found this one : sound/weapons/explo/exp_dirt_01

I've typed it in my script, likt this:

Code: Select all

bomb:

	$bomb playsound sound/weapons/explo/exp_dirt_01
	$bomb anim start
	radiusdamage $bomb 256 384
	

end

But when I test the map, I can't hear the sound
I've tried to leave away the path to the sound, but that didn't work.
What am I doing rong here?

thx

Your sound should work fine without a ScriptMaster work around. Here is what it looks like in the ubersound.scr script.

aliascache arty_exp_sand1 sound/weapons/explo/exp_dirt_01.wav soundparms 0.8 0.3 0.7 0.4 1000 8000 weapon loaded maps "m3l1 m3l3 dm moh obj train"

However, to use this sound you must use its alias name which is "arty_exp_sand1".

Code: Select all

bomb: 

   $bomb playsound arty_exp_sand1
   $bomb anim start 
   radiusdamage $bomb 256 384 
    

end

i strongly suggest defining aliases in a separate script and calling that, it's much cleaner.

like this..

MAIN SCRIPT FILE:

Code: Select all

main:

exec global/myCache.scr::soundMain // defines my sounds

level waittill prespawn
level waittill spawn

end

MYCACHE.SCR:

Code: Select all

soundMain: 
aliascache arty_exp_sand1 sound/weapons/explo/exp_dirt_01.wav soundparms 0.8 0.3 0.7 0.4 1000 8000 weapon loaded maps "m3l1 m3l3 dm moh obj train"
end

Thx, it works now

Can you give me some other names for explosive sounds so I can experiant with them?

thx

your best bet is to open the pak files and just go through listening to the sounds.

Here is how I find sounds,

First I listen to the sounds in pak3--to find one I like. Next, I copy the name of the wav file (Ctrl C). The ubersound.scr file is in pak0, so I search for the wav name there. If the aliascache name is loaded for the same game type I am making (dm obj mostly), I can use it without a work around.
