Adding Sounds Not Working
« on: August 24, 2013, 10:26:28 PM »
I've been trying to add sounds for a while now, with no luck.

It seems simple enough: Put the .wav file in campaign\sounds, copy and edit misc.xml to add a new sound definition.

This is what I added in misc.xml (in mycampaign\sounds):

<sound name="itemgrab">
      <source res="sound/se/itempickup.wav" />
</sound>   

The sound file, as indicated in itempickup.wav and it is located in mycampaign\sounds\se

This is the error I get when loading the editor:


Notice how it's looking for the sound in a place that I never specified...and I have no idea why. From my perspective, I've done it exactly how Linaru did it for his Grayfall map...

Any ideas?

What happens if you create a new sound xml, instead of using the misc one, might work better.

Are you doing this in your own level folder or in our assets folder?

I've tried creating a new sound definition xml file, with the same effect.

I placed misc.xml in Hammerwatch\editor\MyCampaignFolder\sound. The sounds are in Hammerwatch\editor\MyCampaignFolder\sound\se

I've also noticed that my edits to minimap.png go un-effective as well...however I was able to edit hud.png and have that take effect in game...so I'm not sure what the issue is with certain files being read, and certain ones not.
