Sound to ALL, Sound to Coalation, Sound to Country, Sound to Group Broken!

[Mojeaux]

I have asked in the past. Searched the forum for help! It is one of those problems that no one can seam to help me with? Others I have found have the same issue but no real fix ideas as of yet. Sooo, I use to be able to add sounds to my missions I use to build.. i built several missions..It's good to add sounds to the missions! BUT, for some reason???? For the past year or so in the mission editor When I go to the Actions column, try to add a sound by clicking on the "OPEN" button. There is NO... reaction!!!

Can anybody help and give me some ideas of how to fix? Thanks in advanced!!

Post your DCS.log. Likely a GUI lua error. Also check the folder corresponding to the soundPath entry from:

 

\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\settings.lua

Hay thanks Grimes for taking the time!!

 

Here is that DCS.Log file I can't read between the lines too well so here it is. Maybe you can see something.

 

About a year ago my buddy "Laser" said I should try and delete the mission editor and then do a repair! I did that and it fixed it for a while then the "OPEN" button stopped working again! I did the same trick for the repair but this time it was still broken! I can play sounds from old missions using the triggers then the old sounds come through in the mission editor. Just can't add sounds to old missions or to new missions!!!

 

Thanks for takin the time;

So it is a full on game crash and not just the UI locks up?

 

Its giving nvwgf2umx.dll as the cause which is a graphics driver. Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the editor to crash from. Try updating the driver?

Make backup copies of all your custom key mappings, missions, tracks, templates, etc. located in C:\Users\YourUserName\Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta, in case you're using the beta)

 

Then delete that DCS (or DCS.openbeta ) folder and start the game. You'll get a new one (generated automatically), that might solve your problem.

 

As for the cause of the problem, perhaps you tried to load an incompatible sound file a year ago, which caused ME to freak out and lock itself.

 

Can you post the problematic sound files here, so we can take a look at them?
