Understanding ME : file attached to mission

[CougarFFW04]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a question about files attached to a mission and in particular sound files.

Let's say that I want to play "xxx.wav" file at some point in a mission.

What is the best practice to put the files linked to a mission ? Specific directory ? Wherever I want ?

 

What is the best practice to distribute the mission to the community ?

 

Thanks

Play sounds just like any other trigger. Use SOUND TO action and point the trigger action to the sound file on your hard drive. Sound file will be imbedded in the mission by the ME. Better to use .ogg sound files if you can as they are much more compact than .wav.

Yes, definitely use ogg rather than wav. Otherwise your miz file will become absurdly large.

 

As for mission sharing locations, I guess you can upload them here

Hi Guys,

 

 

I will have a look at a wav to ogg format (that I do not know)

 

 

Thanks for your help.

You can use Audacity.

 

It's free and it allows for wav, ogg and mp3 format conversion (through the "export" functionality).
