[BUG] Walkman B-Side CTD

[discwalker]

"walkman"

 

There is no such thing called "B" side. Only "A" side exists in soundtrack and this is the heritage of the discman. IMO easier to implement a discman.

Same problem here, crashes instantly

Just bought F-14. Crashes when switching sides for tape player.

Same here

Do you guys with CTDs even have songs on "B" side? 14s come only with songs on "A" side afaik, why are you even changing sides?

 

And if you have custom songs on "B" side, are you sure you have BSideSong1.sdef -> BSideSong10.sdef in your Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\sdef\Walkman and then have named the songs in Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\Walkman BSideSong1.ogg -> BSideSong10.ogg?

 

Since I renamed my custom songs like that I have not had one single walkman crash in over year.

Kind of irrelevant. If people don't actually have a B side, it *still* shouldn't crash. That's still a bug. And not everyone knows there's not actually a "B" side; they just see that's an option in the keybinds.

Yea, it should not. Easy fix for that would be for HB to just copy/paste the songs from "A" side and rename them BSideSong1.ogg -> BSideSong10.ogg as default in F-14s walkman folder, so "A" and "B" side would play same 10 songs but there should be no crashing anymore. Might be even easier and more intuitive to change to custom tracks that way, cos ppl would not have to guess naming convention for "B" side.
