Sound question about importing sound streams.

Big_rich · Post by **Big_rich** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 10:58 pm

Ok, I am a serious sound retard. All I want to do is get the soundstream from geo, the geo_amb_desert into my map. Now normaly that wouldn't be a problem for me, cept I'm running the map GCW. Geo, don't have a GCW sound file. I was wondering how I could import/use the geo soundstream. I've read the tuts and still can't seem to get a grips on it.
I know I'm missing the bus on sound and need to spend more time on it but any pointers in the right direction would be helpfull.

Thanks in advance

You'll want to use another levels sound files for gcw, like tat. But then dc the geo cw sounds and just reference them for the music.
so in your lua:

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat2gcw")
ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\geo.lvl;geocw")

--

OpenAudioStream("sound\\global.lvl",  "cw_music")
OpenAudioStream("sound\\geo.lvl",  "geo1cw")
OpenAudioStream("sound\\geo.lvl",  "geo1cw")

SetAmbientMusic(ALL, 1.0, "rep_GEO_amb_start",  0,1)
SetAmbientMusic(ALL, 0.8, "rep_GEO_amb_middle", 1,1)
SetAmbientMusic(ALL, 0.2, "rep_GEO_amb_end",    2,1)
SetAmbientMusic(REB, 1.0, "cis_GEO_amb_start",  0,1)
SetAmbientMusic(REB, 0.8, "cis_GEO_amb_middle", 1,1)
SetAmbientMusic(REB, 0.2, "cis_GEO_amb_end",    2,1)

Once you add what Squipple said to your LUA you'll also have to make a Sound Stream Region in Zero Editor. It should work then.

You might be confusing sound streams and the backgroungd music. If you just wanted background music then you don't have to add a region for a sound stream.

I tried what you guys said, added the soundstream region. It works if I use tat_amb_desert. Just not geo_amb_desert. I did exactly like you said. Anything I might be missing? You would think something as easy as just coping what you have to an lua would work. But like I said, I am sound stunted. Just to clearify, I want the background noises from geo. Not the music, like the wind and such.

here is my lua:

Code: Select all

  
    ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat2gcw")
ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\geo.lvl;geocw")

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",

                    "all_hero_hansolo_tat")

I did try the tat_amb_desert in the soundstream region and it does work.

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\geo.lvl;geocw")

Could be the "dc:"

Big_rich · Post by **Big_rich** » Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:31 pm

idk when I do try to add the geo sounds it kills the music and still no ambient.

Edit: I figured out that hoth wind sounds pretty good on this map. So I'll just use the hoth gcw sound files. Thanks for trying to figure it out.
