I've been trying to find it. Not really sure, but here is a custom file. It's the original ammo press sfx from the press in FA3 the Pitt. I figure if you're going to have to add your own sounds they might as well be authentic. It's 48kb. I tried to compress it as much as I could.

THX i try this and reply if all ok.

nope, still "Sound z_engine_12s_0 not found"

SmokeyMeadow · Aug 28, 2013

Did you add the sound class to description.ext? It won't work unless you do that.

Code:

class engine_12s
{
name="engine_12s";
sound[]={sound\engine_12s.ogg,0.9,1};
titles[] = {};
};

it will look like that. put that under your class CfgSounds in description.ext

Yep, i add, all my sounds:

Code:

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] =
    {
    engine_12s,nam,bark,growl,whistleFollow,whistleStay,whistleFind,whistleNon,playerSnoring
    };
    class engine_12s
    {
    name="engine_12s";
    sound[]={sound\engine_12s.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class nam
    {
    name = "Siren1";
    sound[] = {\sound\SirenLoopMono.ogg, db-6, 1.0};
    titles[] = {""};
    };
    class bark
    {
    name="bark";
    sound[]={\addin\fx\bark.ogg,0.4,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class growl
    {
    name="growl";
    sound[]={\addin\fx\growl.ogg,0.5,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class whistleFollow
    {
    name="whistleFollow";
    sound[]={\addin\fx\whistleFollow.ogg,0.8,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class whistleStay
    {
    name="whistleStay";
    sound[]={\addin\fx\whistleStay.ogg,0.8,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class WhistleFind
    {
    name="WhistleFind";
    sound[]={\addin\fx\whistleFind.ogg,0.8,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class whistleNon
    {
    name="whistleNon";
    sound[]={\addin\fx\whistleNon.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class playerSnoring
    {
    name="playerSnoring";
    sound[]={\custom\sfx\snoring.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
};

Try naming it something else, maybe. Something without an underscore. Just call it engine. Then go into one of the sqf files and change engine_12s to engine, to try it. If it works then just change it in the other sqfs.

Ok, i try. THX

Ok, I tried to use sound "Engine_12s" in the 2D editor in single player mode and it work great.
On my dayz server, when I tryed to make an ammo clip the sound play correctly and a message showing me: "Sound z_engine_12s_0 not found.

I investigated arma2OAserveur.rpt but nothing in there...
Also, I investigated my arma2OA.rpt and i've found this two lines:

Code:

Warning Message: Sound z_engine_12s_0 not found
Warning Message: Sound z_engine_12s_0 not found

I think there is a problem with this line in your code:

Code:

[player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;

But what's the problem?

Make sure your sqfs look like this:

Code:

 private ["_chance", "_sounddist", "_press", "_sfx", "_dis"];
 
_dis=100;
_sfx = "engine";
_chance = floor(random 100);
_press = nearestObject [player, "Land_Ind_Stack_Big"];
_sounddist = 15;
 
player playActionNow "Medic";
sleep 1;
titleText ["You have activated the ammo press.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 5;
sleep 2;
 
 
if (_chance > 10) then
    {
 
        [nil,_press,rSAY,["engine", _sounddist]] call RE; 
        [player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
        [player,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;
        player addMagazine "20Rnd_762x51_FNFAL"; 
        player addMagazine "20Rnd_762x51_FNFAL";
        player addMagazine "20Rnd_762x51_FNFAL";
        player removeMagazine "PartGeneric"; 
        sleep 0.01; 
        titleText ["You pressed some FN FAL mags.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 5;
    }
else
    {
        [nil,_press,rSAY,["PMC_ElectricBlast1", _sounddist]] call RE; 
        player removeMagazine "PartGeneric"; 
        sleep 0.01;
   
        titleText ["The press has malfunctioned.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 5;
    };

If it still calls the engine_12s sfx after that, I have no idea, because there is no reference to that sfx in the code.

But what's the problem?

The line you referenced is what alerts zombies when the press activates. You can delete the lines

Code:

_sfx = "engine_12s";

And the lines

Code:

        [player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
        [player,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;

And it will still work, but it won't alert the zombies.
Try that and see what happens. Just comment them out by putting // at the beginning of the lines.

clark17 · Aug 28, 2013

Ok, I commented this three line only in stnagmag.sqf:

Code:

 private ["_chance", "_sounddist", "_press", "_sfx", "_dis"];
 
_dis=100;
//_sfx = "engine_12s";
_chance = floor(random 100);
_press = nearestObject [player, "Land_Ind_Stack_Big"];
_sounddist = 15;
 
player playActionNow "Medic";
sleep 1;
titleText ["You have activated the ammo press.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 5;
sleep 2;
 
 
if (_chance > 10) then
    {
 
        [nil,_press,rSAY,["engine_12s", _sounddist]] call RE;   
        //[player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
        //[player,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;
        player addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";   
        player addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"; 
        player addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";   
        player removeMagazine "PartGeneric";   
        sleep 0.01;   
        titleText ["You pressed some STNAG mags.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 5;
    }
else
    {
        [nil,_press,rSAY,["PMC_ElectricBlast1", _sounddist]] call RE;   
        player removeMagazine "PartGeneric";   
        sleep 0.01;
     
        titleText ["The press has malfunctioned.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 5;
    };

Manufacture stanag magazine works well, by cons manufacture another magazine causes the same error as above.

Little problem with [player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;

SmokeyMeadow · Aug 28, 2013

You'll need to comment out the same respective lines in FNMAG.sqf, AKMmag.sqf, and AK.sqf, then they should work the same as the one for stnag.

Jokaru · Aug 29, 2013

Ok, i know how to fix it.
1. In scripts replace all "engine_12s" on "engine12s"
2. In description.ext add 2 classes:

Code:

    class z_engine12s_0
    {
    name="z_engine12s_0";
    sound[]={\sound\z_engine12s_0.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
    class engine12s
    {
    name="engine12s";
    sound[]={\sound\z_engine12s_0.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };

3. In mission.pbo create folder "sound" and add in this folder file http://www.mediafire.com/?laanni90aoaqz40
4. Rename this file to "z_engine12s_0.ogg"
5. Done!

SmokeyMeadow · Aug 29, 2013

Excellent. Glad you got it working.

clark17 · Aug 29, 2013

Yes, I know. It is only to test and confirm that these two lines cause problems. In which file are "player_alertZombies" and "dayz_zombieSpeak" functions?

Not sure what you mean. They are a function in each of the sqf files activated by fn_selfactions.
This part labels the sound as one that will alert zombies, and the distance it will work for:

Code:

_dis=100;
_sfx = "engine_12s";

Then when this part executes, it notes that _sfx was the zombie calling sound, and calls all zombies within 100 meters around the activating player.

Code:

[player,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
[player,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;

SmokeyMeadow · Aug 29, 2013

One thing that might work would be to change it to:

Code:

[_press,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
[_press,_dis,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;

clark17 · Aug 30, 2013

Ok, I just tested and it generates the same error:
"Sound z_engine_12s_0 not found"

Otherwise I tested by simply removing this line:
[_press,_sfx,0,false,_dis] call dayz_zombieSpeak;

It works perfectly, sound works and zombies comes fast!

I wonder what exactly does the function dayz_zombieSpeak?
The error comes from that particular function. player_alertZombies it works perfectly.

I have a small improvement to you propose, rather than activate the menu at this location:

Why not the other side near the door:

SmokeyMeadow · Aug 30, 2013

Honestly, I don't know exactly what that function does. It was just part of another script I wrote that used a code snippet someone else wrote. So I guess that can be taken out of the release, if it's superfluous.

I like your suggestion, too. Not exactly sure how to do that, but I think it would involve the cursortarget < 8 part of the fn_selfactions.
We would need to guess how far away the door is and make it say something like cursortarget < 8 && cursortarget > 6, or something similar. I'll play around with the syntax.

clark17 · Sep 3, 2013

Ok, I use this portion of code to activate ammo press only near the door:

Code:

private["_playerPosX","_playerPosY","_playerPosZ","_canPress"];
 
_playerPosX = getPosASL player select 0;
_playerPosY = getPosASL player select 1;
_playerPosZ = getPosASL player select 2;
_canPress = _playerPosX > 10410 and _playerPosX < 10412 and _playerPosY > 2596 and _playerPosY < 2598 and _playerPosZ > 29 and _playerPosZ < 30;
 
if ( _canPress ) then {
    ... addactions...
    }
else {
     ... addactions = -1...
    };

else {
    ... addactions = -1...
    };

Awesome! I'm trying it now.
