Script Help "AddEffectVoice" blackbox

**Slanderous** · 07-08-2015, 12:53 AM

Hey there. I'm struggling with a very annoying problem, namely every time I enter an area that's supposed to start sort - of dialogue thing (using AddEffectVoice function here) my game just freezes, and shows a blackbox. (The level loads up normally without any problems)

Here is how I start the script:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RichardsTalk_1", "RichardsDialogue", true, 1);

}

PHP Code: (Select All)

void RichardsDialogue(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{

    AddEffectVoice("placeholder", "", "Voices", "CH02L03_Richards01", true, "Area_Focus", 5, 10);
    AddEffectVoice("placeholder", "", "Voices", "CH02L03_Richards02", true, "Area_Focus", 5, 10);
    AddEffectVoice("placeholder", "", "Voices", "CH02L03_Richards03", true, "Area_Focus", 5, 10);
    AddEffectVoice("placeholder", "", "Voices", "CH02L03_Richards04", true, "Area_Focus", 5, 10);
    AddEffectVoice("placeholder", "", "Voices", "CH02L03_Richards05", true, "Area_Focus", 5, 10);
    SetEffectVoiceOverCallback("addquest");
    
}

void addquest()
{
   
    AddQuest("Quest_Orb", "DestroyOrb");
   
}

The category name matches with the .lang file, as well as the entries, and area. The voice that will be played is not recorded yet, so i'm using a placeholder, as you can see. I tried numerous ways to fix it, and none helped. What's more, if I delete the "AddEffectVoice" from the function, it will work just fine once i enter the area.

The log seems to be empty about that blackbox as well.

Spoiler below!

If you make the lines into comments, will it still crash?

If you change "placeholder" into an actuall .ogg file will it still crash?

What if "SetEffectVoiceOverCallback" was made into a comment?

If I make all the lines as comments, including "SetEffectVoiceOverCallback" it will not crash, I tried that earlier.

Yes, it still crashes if I add the ".ogg" extension.

I meant giving it an ACTUAL file. An audio file. Not just saying the name of it. Have a file in your custom story named "placeholder.ogg" or something.

That's what I have - I took one of the whispers from insanity, and made it into a "custom" sound that should work as a placeholder.

Also, just to state that clear - it's not a custom story, it's a full conversion.

**FlawlessHappiness** · 07-08-2015, 02:23 PM

What if all are comments, except for SetEffectVoiceOverCallback?

It does not crash if I set everything as a comment, except for "SetEffectVoiceOverCallback".

**FlawlessHappiness** · 07-08-2015, 04:34 PM

Great!
Just had to be sure that it was the Voices that created the crash...

No idea then. It does seem weird. Do you have other voices that work?

No. I only tried to make this dialogue. Perhaps it's something wrong with the full conversion itself?

Take one line from the original game, one AddEffectVoice call, try it in your mod and if it works fine, start changing the values one by one to what you want until you find the error.
