Sound effects

Hey guys,

I actually have 2 questions about sound effects:


1. I made a trigger with a sound effect and put it on 50% volume but it's still 100% volume in game

2. I made a sound effect trigger which must keep running in game, but it only must play again if the sound effect is finished! (no overlapping)

3. I create a defence game with 50 waves and give sounds 'round 1' 'round 2' 'round 3' of adjudtant

Does anybody know if there are more of these sounds which are 'round 11' to 'round 50'?

"I made a trigger with a sound effect and put it on 50% volume but it's still 100% volume in game"
I had the same problem as well. What you could do is just copy the sound in the data editor, and increase its volume there, and play that sound through the trigger.

"I made a sound effect trigger which must keep running in game, but it only must play again if the sound effect is finished! (no overlapping)"
What you could do is have a repeating timer, equal to the length of the sound, and when the timer expires, the trigger replays.

"I create a defence game with 50 waves and give sounds 'round 1' 'round 2' 'round 3' of adjudtant Does anybody know if there are more of these sounds which are 'round 11' to 'round 50'?"
Unfortunately, I dont know :(
 
if i am correct the adjutant voice was done using a text-speech program, im sure you could find something like it and an adjutant voice to import, then you can make whatever voice combinations you want, however beware the all feared map size limit, importing 40 custom sounds would quickly fill that up, but you could do 1-20 then every 10 so it would play the sound 30 then 5 for her to say 35, since the first word is always the 10 digit and the 2nd is always the 1 digit, for all above 19
 
there are actually inbuilt sounds of an announcer designed specifically for this situation. There are separate sound files for words such as "round" and numbers going up well past what you need. The trick is to devise a method of playing each sound file such that it sounds continuous (shouldn't be too hard)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
