"Play Sound" is broken?

  • #1, von fulviovMontag, 07. März 2016, 01:11 Uhr vor 9 Jahren
    I seem to be having problems with the "Play Sound" action.
    The files are .ogg encoded, and they play just fine when I set them as background music.
    I have tried to put a "wait until sound is finished" action after it, and the sequence of actions seems to wait for the sound to end, but it doesn't play.
    Am I doing anything wrong? I am on a Mac, by the way.
    Thanks in advance!

    Is the sound volume inside the game loud enough?

    Volume is set to the max, also I hear the background music just fine, it's just the "play sound" action that doesn't seem to work

    I only mean the sound volume independend from music. You are able to turn sounds down in vs. So what i assume if you dont hear any sounds, but music that this setting is active...

    I see all volumes turned up to the max, even the play sound volume ... not sure if there is any other volume control around I am unaware of? Btw the sounds work just fine if I click play from the editor, so I assume Visionaire can successfully decode them

    Pretty regular...

    FILE = kyle.vis
# 
# FULLSCREEN = {yes|no}
# yes - starts the game in fullscreen
# no - starts the game in a window
FULLSCREEN = yes
# 
# RESOLUTION = {Auto|Desktop|Game}
# Auto - wide-screen support is activated if a wide-screen display is detected
# Desktop - current desktop resolution is used when game is started in full screen mode
# Game - game is initialized with the resolution specified in the game
RESOLUTION = desktop
# 
# INTRO = {yes|no}
# yes - Show the intro movie on start-up
# no - Don't show the intro movie
# 
# LANGUAGE = {German|English|...}
# 
# LOGLEVEL = {Info|Warning|Error}
LOGLEVEL = error

    Hm ok. There are no options saved about the sound. What about your player options in the visionaire settings?

    Is that the config file taken from your exported games root folder? If so then that is only a temporary config file that is used for the first time your game is run. The actual file you want will be somewhere in c:/users/username/appdata/local/... it gets created after the first time your game is run. If you have changed the volume settings in an action on game launch or something then it is possible that it is reading the sound settings directly from the config.ini. Volume levels are automatically written to & read from the config file without you having to access the file via Lua script.

    You can try to use a wav or a mp3-file instead to check the correct sound function and effect. If they play properly the ogg must be damaged. Often it's useful to convert an ogg-file into an ogg-file (with a converting tool running on your system), because some codecs are not ok.
    Other way is to write a little Lua script with increasing all sound volumes up to 100%. Sometimes there are forgotten hidden sound settings...

    I have found another 2 .ini files within the Visionaire libraries, this is one:

    MusicVolume = 100
SoundVolume = 100
SpeechVolume = 100
MovieVolume = 100
GlobalVolume = 100


    and this is the other:

    I also tried wavs and mp3s, which not only do not work, but make the editor crash as well.
    Oh, and I have also just tried .opus, which same as .ogg works fine in the editor preview but no sound output in game.
    Really not sure what I am doing wrong...
