Access \z\addons\dayz_sfx\

[Sandbird]

I am writing a new script and i need to access the sounds in \z\addons\dayz_sfx\zombie\ folder. Is there i way i can do something like this (it doesnt work):

classCfgSounds{
   class wzombie1 {
     name ="";
     sound[]={"\z\addons\dayz_sfx\zombie\femalezombie_spotted_01.ogg",0.3,1,40};
     titles[]={0,""};
   };
   class wzombie2 : wzombie1 {
     sound[]={"\z\addons\dayz_sfx\zombie\femalezombie_spotted_02.ogg",0.3,1,40};
   };};

and then do :

[nil,player,rSAY,[wzombie1,10]] call RE;

The problem is not all the sounds are in CfgSounds class...and i dont want to manually add the .ogg files in my mission file.

[nil,player,rSAY,["SOUNDCLASS", DISTANCE]] call RE;

or better - use dayz_zombieSpeak.

EDIT: ebay was faster

You don't need to add anything to your description.ext.

Just call dayz_zombieSpeak with the base sound name and distance you want like so:

   _dis = 10;
   _sfx = "repair";
   [player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;

That will call \z\addons\dayz_code\compile\object_speak.sqf

If you look at that file you will see how it generates the sound name. It attaches "z_" at the front and "_#" at the end. So the class name you will want to use for _sfx above can be found in addons\dayz_sfx\config.cpp (need to unrap from config.bin).

So for example the repair class looks like this:

class z_repair_0
   {
     name="";
     sound[]=
     {
       "\dayz_sfx\effects\action_repair_0.ogg",
       0.2,
       1,
       30
     };
     titles[]={};
   };

But when you call dayz_zombieSpeak you only need to specify "repair" because it appends the z_ and _0 for you.

yes, i know, and thanks for the detailed explanation...but thats what i am saying...NOT all sounds of the /sfx folder are included in the hpp file:

If you see inside the dayz_sfx/zombie folder you'll see some sounds that start with "femalezombie_".
Those sounds ARE NOT included in the dayz_sfx/CfgSounds.hpp or config.bin but they are included in the .pbo.
Is there a way i can reference THOSE female sounds instead of copying them in my mission.pbo ?

-Thanks

Ah, I see. Looks like devs put those in there for later, but then never actually made female zombie classes to use them.

Since they are not defined in the config.cpp or global resource config.cpp, unfortunately the only way to add them is to copy to your mission.

crap, thats what i thought....there goes another 150k for no good reason T_T.
Thanks

But since all clients have those files downloaded I would think you should be able to reference it like you were trying to do in OP.

Did you try without quotes like this?

classCfgSounds{
   sounds[] =
   {
      wzombie1,wzombie2
   };
   class wzombie1
   {
     name="wzombie1";
     sound[]={\z\addons\dayz_sfx\zombie\femalezombie_spotted_01.ogg,0.3,1};
     titles[] = {};
   };
   class wzombie2
   {
     name="wzombie2";
     sound[]={\z\addons\dayz_sfx\zombie\femalezombie_spotted_02.ogg,0.3,1};
     titles[] = {};
   };
};

Hmm that didnt work either....i hope its not because i am using my custom mission in the SP editor to write this code (http://opendayz.net/posts/97112/)

I am getting : Cannot load sound 'x:\users\documents\arma 2\missions\dayzepochtemplate.chernarus\z\addons\dayz_sfx\zombie\femalezombie_spotted_01.ogg'

Maybe this would work in MP (although i doubt it... arma/dayz engine has always been a b....c, why change now)...

I guess in description.ext paths must be relative to mission (unlike execVM, call, spawn which can look in mission, addons and global scripts folders).

In that case there is no way around copying the sound to your mission.

Yeah, like i said....1000 things are not working as expected, why should this
Its cause i am a perfectionist i guess...I want female zombie sounds as well as male sounds..otherwise its not realistic, hehe.

Thanks ebay.
