Uhm, I have a problem with sound. I want to playsoundonplayers with some sound from singleplayer. I have tried using move in sound and it worked but it didn't work when I used SP sound.


in sd.gsc:

playsoundstart()
{
	wait 2;
	
	level playSoundOnPlayers("hill400_assault_gr5_letsgoget");
}

, sound in sound folder (got all same folders as it is in sound source .iwd file)
and added iw_voiceovers2.csv (which contains my sound) in soundaliases. any idea why it doesnt't work?

developer 1?

any crashes?

well, server does work but just doesn't make any sound

hill400assault_gr5_sc03_01_t1.wav (sound) is in folders: sound\Voiceovers\US\400Assault\hill400assault_gr5_sc03_01_t1.wav

and its line in .csv (soundaliases) is - hill400_assault_gr5_letsgoget,,Voiceovers/US/400Assault/hill400assault_gr5_sc03_01_t1.wav,0.99,0.99,voiceover,,,360,6000,voice,streamed,,,master,duhoc_assault duhoc_town hill400_assault,SUBTITLE_HILL400_ASSAULT_GR5_LETSGOGET,,walla_american_small

i tried using hill400assault_gr5_sc03_01_t1 name and hill400_assault_gr5_letsgoget - both ways it doesn't work

There is no such function as playSoundOnPlayers(). Not as a built-in function; nor is it in maps\_utility.gsc. That is where your problem lies. Check out the COD2 Script Documentation for a list of all the sound functions.

playsoundonplayers is used in all gametypes etc etc. i even used it for "move in" sound and it worked.

First of all, I thought this was for Single Player.

Second of all, where are you running the function from? Is it in a gametype file? If not, then you will either have to copy it into your custom GSC file, or thread to it:

maps\mp\gametypes\tdm::playSoundOnPlayers( < alias name > );

Thirdly, you will need to create a custom soundalias file, as the SP one you are trying to use has loadspecs which will only work for stipulated SP maps. You need to replace those stipulated maps with all_mp. like this:

name,sequence,probability,file,vol_min,vol_max,vol_mod,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage

hill400_assault_gr5_letsgoget,,,Voiceovers/US/400Assault/hill400assault_gr5_sc03_01_t1.wav,0.99,0.99,voiceover,,,360,6000,voice,streamed,,master,all_mp,,, ,,,,,

function is in sd gametype but im calling it from some other gsc

just tell me if ill make my own soundalias, will people who doesn't have mod downloaded be able to hear it? and do i need to have that sound in sound folder or no?

Okay, i made it and it works. i havent used line u gave me but some line ive found in some music/sound mod.

hill400_assault_gr5_letsgoget,,,Voiceovers/US/400Assault/hill400assault_gr5_sc03_01_t1.wav,1,1,,,,1000000,,auto,streamed

there is no need to have sound in sound folder since its already in .iwd folder but problem is, it doesnt work if u dont have mod downloaded. so is there a way which might let you hear sound without downloading mod?

p.s. when i added your line, i got error:

ERROR: Sound alias file iw_soun2.csv: Unknown sound channel 'streamed'; should be auto, auto2d, menu, weapon, voice, item, body, local, music,
