Hello people want to know how we can add custom music and listen it with a radio, etc.
Ex:

Required:
- Visual studio 2008 or something for edit config.cpp / ******.hpp
- CfgConvert : http://www.mediafire.com/?2bg2jib6o62u0pe
- PBO Manager : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369&a=dl
- NotePad++
- Mp3 to ogg converter : http://media.io/
- unRap : http://www.mediafire.com/?tpql314rczak61r
- A Brain

1 - Modif the Radio:

In dayz_equip.pbo derypt "config.bin" with unRap.exe (drag it onto it)

1.1 - Edit Config.bin
Open config.cpp with visual studio and go at line : 684 and paste

    class ItemRadio : ItemCore {
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "Radio";
        descriptionShort = "Radio FM";
       
        class ItemActions {
            class Use {
                text = "Listen";
                script = "spawn radio;";
                use[] = {"ItemRadio"};
            };
        };
    };

1.2 - Save it and repack it with CfgConvert and this command :
cfgConvert [-bin | -txt] {[-dst <destination>] <source>}

Ex: cfgConvert.exe -bin -dst C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\config.bin
C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\config.cpp

Note: You cannot use a folder with a space in the command.

1.3 - Delete the old config.bin and insert your new one

2 - Convert Your Music

Download wich music you want and convert it with http://media.io/

Format : OGG
Quality : Normal

2.1 - Add Your Music

In dayz_sfx.pbo ; tracks

Add your music (.ogg) there

Than Decrypt the config.bin of the dayz_sfx.pbo with unRap

Insert at line : 718

    class dayz_name_of_your_song {
        name = "NameOfYourSong";
        sound[] = {"\dayz_sfx\tracks\name_of_your_song.ogg", 1.0, 1.0};
        duration = "";
    };

After that save it and repack it with CfgConvert Than delete the old config.bin and insert the new one.

3 - Make The Script

In dayz_code.pbo ; action add this script and name it radio.sqf :

private["_hasradio","_item","_text"];
 
_item = _this;
_hasradio = _this in items player;
_config = configFile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _item;
_text = getText (_config >> "displayName");
 
if (!_hasradio) exitWith {cutText [format[(localize "str_player_31"),_text,"Listen"] , "PLAIN DOWN"]};
 
playMusic "dayz_name_of_your_song";

Than save it.

3.1 - Modif Scripts

In dayz_code ; compile ; player_music.sqf add "!dayz_name_of_your-song" or copy that

private["_zombie","_type","_chance","_rnd","_sound"];
while {!r_player_dead} do {
    _num = round(random 35);
    _sound = "z_suspense_" + str(_num);
    _length = getNumber(configFile >> "cfgMusic" >> _sound >> "Duration");
    _pause = ((random 5) + 2) + _length;
    if (!r_player_unconscious and !r_pitchWhine and !dayz_name_of_your_song) then {
        playMusic _sound;
    };
    sleep _pause;
};

Than in dayz_code; init ; compiles.sqf add that at line 86

radio =                        compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\radio.sqf";

There you go, you finish and you can listen at your music with a object, radio.
Sorry for my bad english.
A little like is appreciate.

Thanks! So far I've unpacked the config.bin but when I open up Config.cfg all I see are the includes. Am I missing something?

EDIT: I found what looks the be the right CFG file but it's cfgWeapons.hpp, this is correct?

 

[Hoplit]

Thank you so much!

 

[Sandbird]

uh sorry if this sounds like a noob question but what if i want to add this to a server ?
All clients must have the .pbo right ?
Isnt there a way to add the .pbo to the server files and users "stream" that version of it without any manual downloading ?
-Thanks
