Hey,

I have been searching the site for awhile, wondering how to fix my error. I have read other forums on this, but they aren't for CoD2 and I think that is part of the problem why it isn't getting fixed.

Its coming up with the error of:

Error during initialization:
key 'name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle
null,,null.wav,,,,,,,,,,,,,

#Tank sounds,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
stuka_flyby,,vehicles/stuka_by02.wav,1.25,,,,100000,,,,,,,, ' missing value in 'maps/mp/mp_partytime.csv'

I copied that straight from rasta's tutorial on making a stuka fly. I need help with this, and I'm sorry if there is already a forum on this because I must have missed this.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Post your gsc please

Sure...

main()
{
	maps\mp\planes::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();

//	setCullFog (0, 000, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0);
	setExpFog(0.0000, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0);
	ambientPlay("ambient_france");

	game["allies"] = "american";
	game["axis"] = "german";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
	game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";

	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity0","1");
	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity1","1");
	setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".25");

}

I can't seem to be able to get any sound in my map. I have followed The Caretaker's tutorial on how to add ambient, but it didn't work for me. I really need some help.

We need you .csv more than your .gsc, the problem is being reported there, post it up and ill take a look.

Ok...

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle
null,,null.wav,,,,,,,,,,,,,
#Tank sounds,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

stuka_flyby,,vehicles/stuka_by02.wav,1.25,,,,100000,,,,,,,,

Thats the 1 in the tutorial, but I have tried other tutorial ambient sounds, and none of them work...

Plus, I have added Prefab buildings, but there is an error with some of them, and it produces a sports car where the error is. What can I do to get rid of the sports car?

what program did you use to make your .csv file?

edit: the sportcar means your prefab contains an xmodel which is used for SP maps. The sportscar is the default model for unsupported models in MP games.

Ok,

I made a text file, then named it mp_partytime.csv . It turned into an excel type program... Is that right?

So, how do I get rid of the sports cars? I edited 1 house to get rid of 1, but do I really have to edit every building to get rid of them? Or do I have to change the house?

So, I have tried some different things, none successful.

I would much prefer just getting the background noice working first, then the stuka.

So, I have used The_Caretakers Tut on it.

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

ambient_mp_partytime,,ambient/amb_france01b.mp3,0.63,,,,,,,local,streamed,,looping,,mp_partytime

And my .gsc file is

main()
{
	level._effect["fire"]=loadfx("fx/fire/building_fire_large.efx")
	maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("fire", (-942, -1806, 342), 0.6);
	level.effect["smoke"]=loadfx("fx/smoke/ash_smoke.efx")
	maps\mp\mp_partytime_fx::loopfx("smoke", (-942, -1806, 392), 0.7);
	maps\mp\planes::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();

	//set background ambient noise
	ambientPlay("ambient_mp_partytime");

	game["allies"] = "american";
	game["axis"] = "german";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
	game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";

	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity0","1");
	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity1","1");
	setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".25");

}

I have tried to add smoke and fire, but that was another unsuccessful attempt...

Thanks

Hmm... my tutorial works.
Do you get an error when you start your map? Or does the ambient sound just not play?

edit: you're better of altering the prefab, saving it under another name and placing that in your map.

Yeah, I did just alter the prefab, wasn't as hard as I expected.

I have altered my map so much that I can't remember... I was getting "unknown functions @ 98881", but I'm not really sure what that means.

So, for the ambient sound, am I meant to put each bit inside a comma, in a cell, or do I just copy and paste them into 1 cell?
