Custom Voiceovers

Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2010 11:24 am

I'm trying to get a sound to play in my map when an objective is completed, and I'm failing miserably. I got those three fixed files and placed them exactly where they should go. Probably there's some really simple error somewhere...

My sound is in the right format (it works as a weapon fire sound), called "command_formup.wav"

cw_new.snd (All but the last are effects that work. The last is my voiceover.)
Hidden/Spoiler:
SoundProperties()
{
Name("dc17m_blaster_fire");
Group("weapons");
Inherit("weapon_template");
SampleList()
{
Sample("dc17m_rifle_fire", 1.0);
}
}

SoundProperties()
{
Name("dc17pistol_fire");
Group("weapons");
Inherit("weapon_template");
SampleList()
{
Sample("dc17pistol_fire", 1.0);
}
}

SoundProperties()
{
Name("dc15rifle_fire");
Group("weapons");
Inherit("weapon_template");
SampleList()
{
Sample("dc15rifle_fire", 1.0);
}
}

SoundStreamProperties()
{
Name("squad_command_formup");
Group("objective_vo");
Inherit("vo_template");
Stream("command_formup");
SegmentList()
{
Sample("command_formup", 1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
}
}
ARC_stream.stm
Hidden/Spoiler:
streams\command_forumup.wav command_formup -resample xbox 22050 pc 22050
ARC_cw.req (ARC is a working .asfx file)
Hidden/Spoiler:
ucft
{
REQN
{
"bnk"
"align=2048"
"ARC"
}

REQN
{
"config"
"cw_new"
}
}
ARC.req (ARCgcw is another .req that works fine)
Hidden/Spoiler:
ucft
{
REQN
{
"str"
"align=2048"
"ARC_stream"
}
REQN
{
"lvl"
"ARCcw"
"ARCgcw"
}
}
The sound is loaded correctly in the LUA, as all the effects work, and then I'm using
BroadcastVoiceOver("squad_command_formup", ATT)
to try to play the sound.

I'm working on the same issue ATM and though I haven't tried this myself or have any idea how to do it, I think I know what the problem is.
I looked at shipped vo.snd files and they seem to be structured in a differant manner from sound effect and sound region files, take a look at this

SoundStreamProperties()
{
Name("FEL_obj_01");
Group("objective_vo");
Inherit("vo_template");
Stream("fel_objective_vo_slow");
SegmentList()
{
Segment("ROFEL0001", 1.0, 0.0, 0.0); // Trooper, defend the AT-TE until Jedi Commander Secura arrives
}
}

I got that out of the felucia VO file, it looks like the entire VO for the level is all one file called fel_objective_vo_slow and that the differant voiceovers are segments. While it would not be hard to make all of the VO one file, I have no idea how to devide it into segments.

Hasn't anyone ever made custom voiceovers before? I thought they had.

Edit: I'm getting this is my mungelog, though the format is proper.
Hidden/Spoiler:

There was a mandalorian polus map with custom voiceovers.

That map has zero custom sounds. Some of the units use an unused stock sound. Even if those had been custom, they are not the type of VOs the OP is referring to.

And to the OP; your error is probably the command you're using to play the sound. I don't know if the one you're using works - when I've used VOs before (see any of my Rebel Ops maps), I think I've used different commands. What you have is used in the stock campaign, but not with a second parameter (ATT) like you're using. You can use any number of commands to play a sound ingame.

Of course it could just be the typo you have in your .stm file, too (I assume it shouldn't be command_forumup).

*facepalm* That typo might just cause a slight problem... thanks.

So I fixed that, and tried both of these:
ScriptCB_SndPlaySound("squad_command_formup")
BroadcastVoiceOver("squad_command_formup")
But nothing works so far.

Edit: In the .snd file, the stream should be my .stm file, right? I changed it to that, with no effect.

Would you post your .lua? It looks like you have everything correctly set up (assuming you changed your .snd file to point out your .stm file and not the name of the segment in the StreamName section, as you mention above).

You need to open the audio stream (at the end of your script, with the rest of the sound streams), otherwise no streams will be loaded. It isn't enough to just load in the sound .lvl for streams (music/VOs).

You mean like this?
OpenAudioStream("dc:Sound\\ARC.lvl", "ARC_stream")
Where ARC_stream is my .stm file? I put that in under the other OpenAudioStreams but it doesn't work still.
