Problem Loading Audio Files

[syko47]

Hi all,

I am having a problem attaching sound files to 'transmit message' commands for individual units. I have saved my files as both .ogg and .wav in the same folder.

DCS thinks the .wav files simply don't exist (they do - other audio players have no problem recognising and playing them). It will recognise the .ogg files but if I attach a file to a 'transmit message' command it attaches that file to EVERY single 'transmit message' command for that unit.

Does anyone know what is going on, or how I can fix this?

 

Thank you

@syko47, when you were making your transmit message commands, did you copy the previous one and then change the filename to something different?

There was (is) an issue with copying triggered actions in that the newly copied action it will overwrite the previous ones.   I found that out after spending about 4 hours adding a ton of audio to a mission.  Had to re-do the whole thing again.

Sedlo, thanks for the message. I've just created another mission to test this theory and it looks like you're right. It is changing the file in every event that is cloned, including the original.

This is a massive blow - I've used this feature a lot to save time.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, it’s a real pain in the butt.

It’s the major reason why I just went away from triggered actions for radio transmits

@syko47, I can't add .wav files either by adding the file and clicking ok.  But it is working you double click the file in the window.
