Hi,
I've got a little problem in FREDing missions. I have messages in my missions and wanted them to have a wav sound each time someone speaks. But When I used a wav file corresponding to what I wanted, then the ani of the message just shows up the time of the wav file.

Is there a way of having a wav file of 1sec, a message of roughly 10 sec and have the head ani lasting 10 secs ?

You'd be better off using .wav files that are approximately as long as your messages.

The message lasts for an amount of seconds that depends on its length. You can't have the head ani lasting 10 seconds unless you create a head ani that actually lasts 10 seconds. Head anis are independent from message texts.

I just want to use the full head ani already used by fs2. but my wav file is too short for it.
Do I have to make a wav file of the each message's size ? (meaning create 1 wav file of 3 seconds, another of 4seconds etc...)

(meaning create 1 wav file of 3 seconds, another of 4seconds etc...)

At intervals, I guess. Make 4 wav files lasting 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 7 seconds and 9 seconds each.

[griffon67]

any advice on what software to use to make a wav file with a beginning wav and an end wav ? (corresponding to the openning and closing channel)

[Snail]

You can just grab some from INFR1.

I have the begginning and ending of the wav file. I just need some software to edit them and put the correct amount of "void" between the begginning and the end

cue_voice for begginning
end_voice for ending

these are sufficients for what I need

Audacity?

after 15 min of handling the software I managed to get the wav I wanted
Thanks everyone.

I was wondering if in the next releases we'll have something to fix all that without generating many wav ?

[Snail]

Hmm yes that sounds like a good feature. "Head Animation Display Time"? Don't know if it's possible though.
