Author | Topic: Audio CD Repeat Problem
runningonair Member Posts: 129 From:London, UK Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 03-07-2001 01:26 AM I'm having problems getting a CD track to repeat. I can get one to trigger no problem but when I set the bits to repeat (6 times), like the manual says, it still only plays once. Has anyone else tried this and got it to work? IP: Logged

Colin Grigson Member Posts: 776 From:LONDON, ENGLAND Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 03-08-2001 03:01 PM If you want it to repeat indefinitely, you could change it in script.dat. Would that help?

runningonair Member Posts: 129 From:London, UK Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 03-09-2001 03:05 AM You mean the background sound? No it's an alarm sound that I want to reapeat a number of times and then stop. I would be interested in changing the background sound halfway through the level, but I don't think it's possible.

Does mean a bigger file tho, or use a number of triggers as long as Lara is sliding so she can't help but trigger them. The only way I know of changing the background fx is to do a level jump. Col.

runningonair Member Posts: 129 From:London, UK Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 03-09-2001 06:52 AM Yes I had thought of that but wanted to avoid the extra file size. I may do it anyway. Thanks IP: Logged
Pytr Member Posts: 132 From:Netherlands Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 03-09-2001 09:14 AM What do you mean with the background sound? The sound file that is written after the load camera line in the script? (102 and on) 'cos you can easily overrule this with a normal cd trigger. I also had like 102 outside and 108 inside buildings.

The sound file that is written after the load camera line in the script? Pytr. Yes, the one that plays all the time. What I want is to trigger a CD and then have the new CD track repeat a certain number times and then go back to the "background" sound (CD). The manual tells you how to do it, up to 6 repeats. But It doesn't work, or at least, I can't get it to work, it only ever plays once. IP: Logged
semitonic Junior Member Posts: 6 From:laraland Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 03-09-2001 03:19 PM this is only a theory, i may be wrong could it be that entering say six allows the track to be triggered six times by seperate triggers, not actually repeat six times. Because certainly i've never got a track to repeat, but i think i noticed that i could trigger a track more than once after i'd been fiddlin with them OCBs then again, as someone often says i could be wrong semitonic IP: Logged

You might be talking about the sound effects? Which could be another way of doing it. The CD triggers are just that. So you can trigger them as often as you like. But the supossed repeat function dosn't seem to work. I'm still hopeing that I'm just doing it wrong. IP: Logged
Reb@Eidos unregistered | posted 03-12-2001 12:28 PM I never had a chance to put this to the test..the info in the manual was as given us by Core, but I assumed it meant to set six triggers on the same square, each with a different bit configuration as outlined in the manual. Is that what you tried? I hope I will have the opportunity soon to try this myself to see if I can get it to work. In the meantime, let us know if you are successful!! IP: Logged

I can get one to trigger no problem but when I set the bits to repeat (6 times), like the manual says, it still only plays once. Has anyone else tried this and got it to work? what the manual says is not so wrong as it seems. Here's what you have to do : - Select a square and trigger a CD track. Press the 1 code bit. - Select another square somewhere in your level and trigger the same CD track. Press the 2 code bit. - Select another square anywhere in your level and trigger the same CD track. Press the 3 code bit. etc... If you want your CD track played 4 times, the fourth trigger must have 4-5 code bits set. If you want your CD track played 3 times, the third trigger must have 3-4-5 code bits set. If you have already made this, and want to put another time the CD track, don't forget to change the code bits of the previous trigger. By this way, you can trigger 5 times a same CD track. Hope it will help you. IP: Logged

Is this what you are doing or are all code bits highlighted? ------------------ I WAS PRESSING THE DARN WALK BUTTON !! IP: Logged
robbase Member Posts: 425 From:the other side of the puddle Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 03-14-2001 09:46 PM hey I know the software is pretty expensive, but what about using sound forge or something similar to loop the track as many times as you like. and resave as one file. I don,t think file length would be to much of an issue as some of the wavs in that folder are quite long like tracks from old fmv clips. ___PARADOX___ I'm trying to get my hands on a copy now. if it works out I would be willing to modify your files and send them back.

[This message has been edited by robbase (edited 03-14-2001).] Yes, that could be done and I have the software to do it too. Thanks for the offer. But the manual say's it can be done. So I'm just wondering why it doesn't work. What would be useful is, if someone else could try it out? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, I usually do. IP: Logged
