Adding audio to a command

Osmium Steele · 03-13-12, 12:49 PM

I want to add .ogg files, which I will record myself, to the commands to fully raise and/or lower the attack and observation scopes.

I need to know how to connect the keystroke to the audio file in game.

I've located the proper keystrokes in commands_en, but am unsure what, if anything, to edit there.

Could someone please point this novice in the right direction?

That's what I was afraid of.

Evidently it is more difficult than I had hoped.

In SH5 the commands can have a line with a sound in the commands.cfg itself...an absent feature on sh3...but I guess that niobody have tried it yet.
So go on!
Here an example:

[Cmd66]
Name=Toggle_radio_messages
Contexts=1,15
Key0=0x4d,,"M"
Sound_0=ELO_Weapon,Mission_order <== seems that the sound needs to be on the sound\speech folder. You need to figure out the syntax first.

here another example with various sounds:

[Cmd192]
Name=Dive
Contexts=1
StringID=1030
Key0=0x44,,"D"
HasDelayedExecution=Yes
CommandClass=Depth
Sound_0=ELO_Helm,MC_CR_CHIEF_32,1030;Dive
Sound_1=ELO_Helm,MC_CR_CHIEF_34_A,7646;Deeper!
Sound_2=ELO_Helm,MC_CR_CHIEF_34_B,7647;Take Her Deeper
Sound_3=ELO_Helm,MC_CR_CHIEF_35,7648;Deeper Goddamit

My tinkering efforts have been for naught as well.

That's an actual line?

From SH5 commands.cfg. As some new mod addtions on sh3 comes from sh4/sh5 i guess that could be a good idea to see if this also works on sh3.

Here's a sample of an SH3 command from command_en.
The example has a sound associate with it.

[Cmd432]
Name=Man_the_deck_and_flak_guns
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F2D0004
Str=2946

As you can see, there is no obvious sound file associated with it, but we all hear the command when the guns are manned.

Ctxt=1 means the command onlyexecutes within the unpaused game itself, not in the museum, for example.

Str=2946 is the text displayed when the command executes. Found in Data/Menu/en_menu file.

Which leaves MnID=0x3F2D0004.

MnID = menu item ID associated with this command. Unfortunately, I cannot find the menu file/folder to which the command points.

I've located the .DAT files which sync voices with the animations, but that is it.

The number looks like a hex address, but I am unable to even find that string anywhere.

I know I'm missing something obvious, but am currently lost.
