Thread: Adding custom sound fx with SCAR ?16 Mar 2016, 16:41 PM Hi eliw00d, thanks for your answer ! Yes, i have encountered the problem with the .sga archives allready during my tests. What i was wondering about, was, with the path description in the Sound_play2d function, if it could be possible to generate this path manually and place the smf/bsc files there... How would it work i.e. with an allready existing sound, in the .SGA archive, to call from the Sound_play function ? Is CoH2 extracting the sga archives at start and generates those folders, or how does the function gets access to the soundfiles inside the archive ? Could be, that my way of thinking is complete nonsense, but i really try to figure out how this command works. Maybe if somebody is having an working example ? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Adding custom sound fx with SCAR ?16 Mar 2016, 00:39 AM After some unsuccessfull attempts to add my own sound fx to CoH 2... (extracted the SGA Sound archives, converted a .wav -> smf/bsc, edited the bsc and trying to repack the archive .... All failed...) (would be a bad idea anyway, since everybody who wants to have the mod, would need the whole Sound Archive, which is actually quite a couple of MB...) So my latest attempt was trying to use the SCAR file to add the sound. I have seen that the command Sound_Play2D is still available. But all my attampts to get it working just fail Does anybody has an idea, IF or HOW it could work ? I have tried to use an tut-script from BuckyBoy but it is not working. (It was for CoH not CoH2) My idea was, to create the custom folders (\sound\wav & \sound\music) and place my custom soundfile (smf/bsc) into it. Did anybody tried this allready or has an idea what could be wrong ? g_streamed_sounds = {} function Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound() local sound_info = g_streamed_sounds[1] Sound_PreCacheSound(sound_info.sound) Sound_Play2D(sound_info.sound) table.remove(g_streamed_sounds, 1) TimeRule_RemoveMe() if (#g_streamed_sounds > 0) then Rule_AddOneShot(Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound, sound_info.time) end end local function Play_Streamed_Sound(sound, time) local sound_info = { sound = sound, time = time } table.insert(g_streamed_sounds, sound_info) if (not TimeRule_Exists(Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound)) then Rule_AddOneShot(Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound, 0) end function Test() Play_Streamed_Sound("SOUNDS.ChurchBell01", 10) --Play_Streamed_Sound("mysound2", 25) end Thanks alot !

Thread: adding music that plays during map load screen ?20 Jan 2015, 14:56 PM Hello, is there a possibility to add music, that plays while the map is loading? I have searched the web, but all i have found, are some Topics related to CoH and only for ingame music. So i wanted to ask if anyone here knows if it is possible and how to realise it to have your own music playing while the CoH2 map is loading ? In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Mapname_ID.SCAR or Mapname.SCAR ????13 Dec 2014, 12:23 PM Thank you for your answer. Your understanding seems to be correct. My script works and i still can save the SGB and WB doesn't touch my "Mapname.SCAR" anymore. Great !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!! In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Lights in worldbuilder13 Dec 2014, 12:20 PM Thank you very much This part solved the problem !!! Code function OnInit() EGroup_SetAnimatorState(eg_lamps, "Light_State", "On") EGroup_SetAnimatorState(eg_lamps, "Light", "On") --call custom functions here. end --add custom functions here. Scar_AddInit(OnInit) So to summarize the whole "Lamps on" - Story , in WB you should do the following: Inside Worldbuilder, place the lamps you want to have switched on. now select the lamps and create a new "Entity group" in the submenu GROUPS. give the new Group a describing name - in our example -eg_lamps- save your map. open Notepad or Notepad++ and put the above script into it. ensure that the EGroup_SetAnimatorState(eg_lamps, "Light_State", "On") EGroup_SetAnimatorState(eg_lamps, "Light", "On") bold name is exactly the same as the name you gave the Entity Group in Worldbuilder (our example -eg_lamps- save the file as: YourMapName.SCAR and put it in the folder where your .SGB is saved. Now the lamps will be lit !!! In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Mapname_ID.SCAR or Mapname.SCAR ????11 Dec 2014, 14:27 PM Hello, i am relatively new to the mapmaking and i am playing currently around with SCAR scricting. i have found alot of usefull scripts allready but i am a little confused, maybe you guys can help me out. 1. When i create a map in WB and save it, the whole package(SGB) will be saved. During the saving WB creates a "Mapname_ID.SCAR" file inside the Folder. whenever i save again all the content (That i put in) in the "Mapname_ID.SCAR file" will be gone again. i can live with that, which means, i should edit the file only, when my map in WB is completely done. OK 2. alot of the Tipps here in the forums say, that i should create a .SCAR file inside the (SGB) map folder, where i can put the scripts in. Are these Tipps refering to the Mapname_ID.SCAR file OR should i create a second SCAR file (Mapname.SCAR) and put all the scripts there ? Thanks in advance for the help In: Mapping Discussion
