Custom Music. - Shylia - 01-07-2015

So I am trying, just a test to see if I can make a custom sound/music work in the game. Now I followed a guide which told me what to do, where to put the files and stuff. But when I'm done scripting I have no idea why it doesn't work.

Could anyone look into it? And give me some tips?

Thanks!

Here is my script.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Spoiler below!

I should also mention this one too.

ALSO!

If I try to play the OGG file in Windows Mediaplayer I can hear the sound play, but if I try to place the sound in the world in the editor I can't hear it when I try to preview it with the play button, or if I place it in the world and load the map I can't hear the sound play.

Try changing CustomTest.snt to CustomTest.ogg and see if that works. Like this:

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "CustomTest.ogg", "Player", 0.0f, false);

I would suggest trying PlayGuiSound to see if it works. That one is simpler and more noticeable.

PHP Code:
PlayGuiSound("file.snt", 1); 

I believe you can use both SNT and OGG in this script.

Now, make sure you've placed your files correctly. Are they in your custom story directory? If so, I suggest you open the resources.cfg file in the Amnesia root folder and add the "custom_stories" directory to that file if it isn't there already. This will allow the game to search this folder for assets, which might be the reason it's not working.

How do I go about adding the resources line?

RE: Custom Music. - Romulator - 01-07-2015

Add this line:

Code:
<Directory Path="/custom_stories" AddSubDirs="true" />

to the end of your Resources.cfg file in the directory stated in Mudbill's post above.

Just make sure to put it before the </Resources> line. Smile
