.ogg sounds strange problem

[BIGNEWY]

Hi all

 

I have been making a mission and all seemed to be going well, I have been using .ogg sound files and they played in the tests I was doing.

 

BUT

 

all of a sudden none of the sound files will play, I have not moved them or edited them in anyway, but even when I click on them in the editor to play them nothing happens ?

 

I am confused and frustrated lol, has anyone had this happen before ?

Yes, this happens sometimes, you just need to re-assign the sounds, as in, open up the "PLAY SOUND" trigger action, re-navigate to the sound on your hard drive, and re-select it, just like you did the first time.

 

However, if you mission has become really massive, it could be you've run into the unit limit of like 500-1500 units. Not likely, your problem sounds just like the same I've had many times, where all my mission editor triggered sounds stop playing, and I just need to re-select them.

You don't need to delete them IIRC, you just need to open up the file browser of the SOUND TO ALL trigger action and select the file again.

 

Unless you tested that, and you really did have to delete them?

Yes I tried to reselect them, but had no joy, in the end I had to delete the SOUND TO ALL part of the trigger, save, and then add the SOUND TO ALL again.
