Hm, I don't really see anything wrong at a glance. What is not working? Does the flash work? Do the voices appear? Do the subtitles appear?

If it is any help, I'll link my video tutorial on this topic. Perhaps you can compare it to yours.

[lothabread]

i watched your tutorial, and what happens is i enter the area, the screen flashes white, the whisper noises happen, then flashes white again, my actual audio nor the subtitles appear at all.

[Mudbill]

Hm, well if the audio files aren't recognized, the subtitles won't play either. I'm fairly sure the problem lies there. Where are your files located? What are they named? Have you tried opening them to make sure there's sound in them?

[lothabread]

hm well i took some screenshots, i hope that helps. there's audio in the .ogg file and i beleive everything is in the right spot

The 3.png is wrong.
You have to change it name to this :

PHP Code: (Select All)

Kitchen_Flash.snt 


That should do the trick.

Umm, no. Flash files ARE ALWAYS in .flash format. Just look at TDD's flashback files, they use .flash.

[Mudbill]

How about your resources.cfg file? How does that look?
Oh right, nvm, forgot you had it up top.

It really shouldn't make a difference, but perhaps you can try moving the audio files to a similar location as the originals, in \lang\eng\voices\flashbacks.

[lothabread]

yea, that, didn't do anything to remedy my problem sadly ; - ; any other ideas ?

[Mudbill]

I'm afraid I do not know what the problem is =/

But are you able to create a working flashback within a custom story of the main game, rather than your mod? If you are, then the problem shouldn't be the files, but something in your mod restricting access to them.
