Title: sound not playing
Post by: TrashMan on July 24, 2007, 05:40:31 pm

I set an play-sound-from-file event at hte begining of a mission. I took the sound from another campaign, put it in the sounds folder and entered it's name in the SEXP..but it doesn't play...

any clues why?

What sounds folder did you put it in? \mediavps\?  \data\?  \yourmod\?

I took sounds from FS1 and some other campaigns - like the breath.wav from Transcened (heavy breathing)...it's the file I'm trying to play ATM

Look at Transcend's mission file; see how they did it.  Which folder did Transcend have it in?

OK, last try... did you spell it right (prolly did) including capitalization matching that of the file?  (This could make a difference, possibly.)
