I'm having a problem with using the "zone" (Music zone).

Any Wave (Wav) file(s) I've used do not trigger when in test mode.



Is there a valu i need to change, that would differ from the first FPSC?



Lum? script?



Thank's for any insight.

you have to change the "main" to "plrinzone" I think it is that should work for you. right click the sound zone for this.

O.K.

Thanks for the info guy's, i can hold off on the sound for now.

I do remember reading about the zone's not working right although i did get the default "Deseret" wav file to work, just not the one i had in mind.

I tried the lum script and the default script on the working wav file and it worked with ether script.



If any one finds out anything more, i would be greatfull if you cold post it on this thread so that i doin't miss it.

Well guy's i found out why.

Given, i haven all day and night to work on this (i have a just over Broke)/Job,

I found out my Wav file was a bit on the high side (30 meg's). (for Bata 5 )

Converted the sound file to mono (25 meg's) and it worked.

I did keep the "sound zone" as default (Lum script as-well) and my test map simple, just to test.



I tried this with many files, with the same result's.



This is the FM file.. for the game saved.

Nope BioD, tried it 3 times (different Mp3 sound files) and no go.

I used the same 'Test file' i used for the Wav file.

I see you'r point thou, keeping the file small,would help the overall game file size.

But one would thank WM4 would work best as you could use windows (os) to render the sound thus no need to, say, add an audio file convert to FPSR.

But hey, Lee's no spring chicken, I'd bet the farm, Lee thought about this before he even touched the keyboard. lol

Try .ogg, Classic used this. Mp3 isn't used due to licensing issues in game engines for developers.

Hi Duckys, i had the same problem and searched all day -Sent a email to tgc, then realised VLC player converts to OGG - then drop it into sound bank and your done.

Open Vlc player, click MEDIA tab( top left), Click Convert/Save - add your music file then hit Convert/Save.....use drop down box and select OGG - decide where you want to save it ( save it direct to audio bank in fpsc reloaded) and thats it - works perfectly for me.

Hope this helps - right time to find the asprin.

wav is uncompressed and large - hence requires more memory and resources to use. .ogg is compressed heavily, but sounds good, is a fraction of the size and therefore requires much less memory and resources to run, leaving more for graphics and what not.
