Hi all,

I'm making a new map which will have a very brief cine intro. I would like to play the Ambulance Audio File - "The Battlefield is a messy place". I've located it in the .BIGs - it's in the original Generals Audio .BIG and titled "vambsee". V for Vehicle. AMB for Ambulance. SE for selected and E as it's the 5th of 7 "On Select" sounds.

Other than .INI editing, is there a way to play this specific line in my cine intro, as opposed to the other 6 "On Select" Ambulance sounds?

It's not possible, in order to play that specific sound file you need to have a map.ini that creates a new SoundEvent that only uses that sound file, you give it a name and you paste it on world builder, world builder will say that it doesn't exist, just ignore, it will exist once the map.ini is loaded.

Thanks.

Would a map.ini that had this and nothing but this still cause a mismatch online? Also, how about .WAK files? My map has waves on a beach. I can't actually think of a non-official map I've played online with them? Perhaps I just don't notice when there's a battle in progress...

My bet is that it wouldn't cause a mismatch, but whoever receives the map through in-game transfer won't hear the sound untill they restart the map.

Meh... Sky, no offense but if you don't know an answer, just don't reply.

You are not helping anybody with wrong information and assumptions.

Check this link:

With this you can test sound files within the worldbuilder.

Thanks i^love^mixery.

I've already done that, the problem is that the drop down box allows me to choose the "AmbulanceVoiceSelect" sound file. There are 7 different AmbulanceVoiceSelect sounds, and clicking preview sound cycles through them. If I choose this, then in game it plays a random one of those 7. I want a specific one. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance,

You don't need to tell me to not reply when I don't know an answer, because I don't reply if I don't know an answer, in this case I thought I knew the answer so I replied, apparently I was wrong. I would like you to show me exactly what did I say that is wrong?

I'm almost sure the only way to do it is with using a map.ini

EDIT: Forgot to tell you that, .wak wave files don't cause mismatches and are ok with online/multiplayer maps.

Oh oh mixery, maybe you should have read the question before posting this bullsjit comment dont you think?

Code:

AudioEvent AmbulanceVoiceSelect
  Sounds = vambsea vambseb vambsec vambsed vambsee vambsef
  Control = random
  Volume = 90
  Type = ui voice player
End


vambsee.wav is the "The battlefield is a messy place" voice and if you only want to use that voice you have to create a new audio event which you can listen to in worldbuilder, you will only hear the "The battlefield is a messy place" instead of a random choice of 6 voices...
SkyMix provided the right answer...Thumb Up

So mixery...
Meh... Mixery, no offense but if you don't provide a good answer because you didnt read the question well enough, just keep your big cocky mouth shut ok?.
You are not helping anybody with wrong information and a big cocky mouth.

I know it is just the way you are mixery, i know that God looked at you when he saw that it was good, i know that God prefers you instead of his own son Jesus but that doesnt mean that you can behave like a total d.ick over here...

Cheers Cool

Oups... yes, I actually forgot about the cycles.
Sorry I didn't preview a sound file in almost 5 years. No need to start another *censored*storm, acid. Even though I do enjoy them :)

Btw on another note... I've had mismatches because of sound files before. Not related to an .ini, tho.

You will need to test it.

I know there was no need for a *censored*storm but since it was you and I know that you like it when I talk dirty to you I added a bit of extra condensation to my comment...:P
I can be a bit cancerous every now and then, just like you, and to be honest I also enjoy it...:)
Your turn now...

Cheers
