ZOUND omg annoying

[legacy-mkZ]

I've installed Zound to our clanserver (linux) and it simply will not pick up any sounds from the packs apart from playing the 'hello' welcome sound

This my Zound ini:

[Zound45.ZoundConfigs]
SoundFileName1=TOPGUN2.uax
SoundFileName2=
SoundFileName3=
bZound=True
SoundDelay=5
LoginDelay=3
SoundsEach=10
DelaysEach=1
Dedicated=True
SayTrigger=True
bAnnounce=True
bBuffSound=False
ZoundVolume=1.5
StandardServer=True
NoSpecToPlayer=False

[Zound45.ZTriggers]
Sounds[0]=attack
Sounds[1]=byebye
Sounds[2]=dangerous
Sounds[3]=ego
Sounds[4]=hello
Sounds[5]=nice
Sounds[6]=speed
Sounds[7]=teamkill

and in the TOPGUN2 sound package, the following sound files exist: attack, byebye ....... teamkill etc

IN the UT2004 ini I have

ServerPackages=Zound45
ServerPackages=topgun.uax

When I start a game, I get the mutat zounds message and see all the sound triggers, but nothing kicks in.. when I start an instant action game locally and add Zound as a mutator it all works perfectly with these files.. ;/

[legacy-mkZ]

btw I've tried case sensitivty, different audio settings before importing to sound packs, removing the .uax extension from the serverpackages line, erm and bout everything else i could think of :cry:

[Frogger]

serverpackages line should not contain .uax. (we have discussed this elsewhere, but is designed to NOT be included)...when you start the server do you get any messages that zound is start or that it cannot find and certain sounds?

[legacy-mkZ]

yeah it pops up saying zound blabla mutator and u can see all the sounds/triggers listed when u type in mutate zounds

like i said, it works great offline with no problems ;/ there is nothing the serverlog reporting missing sounds or anything... only the hello welcoming sound plays when u join server... thats it

[Frogger]

how many sounds are in TOPGUN2.uax?

also..you don't need to list byebye and hello in your zound.ini file

[legacy-mkZ]

as u can see in the zound ini info above byebye and hello are there, there are only like 6 other sounds in the pack

right..they don't need to be.

[legacy-mkZ]

will try that, cheers

[legacy-mkZ]

nah same ;/ plays a welcome sound on joining, no triggers work

[Frogger]

i'm at work and can't access Pro's site....the setting Dedicated=True...what does the documentation say this setting does?

[legacy-mkZ]

Dedicated=True
When set to True, then the trigger word needs to be only that word and not part of a sentence.
If however it is set to False, the sound will trigger if that word is anywhere in the message.

[legacy-mkZ]

apparently also time? should work, even without a sound pack

it doesnt :|

[Frogger]

hello and byebye wouldn't work without sound pack...this is wierd..

the sound pack IS there, but apparentl the 'time?' trigger should work even without one

it doesnt work at all for me

[legacy-mkZ]

=/

tried 4 different older version of the mutator, down to .33 still exactly same ;/

[Frogger]

well..for what its worth.. here is my setup..maybe you will see something that stands out..


[Zound44.ZoundConfigs]
SoundFileName1=madsoundsIV
SoundFileName2=madsoundsV
SoundFileName3=
bZound=True
SoundDelay=5
LoginDelay=3
SoundsEach=20
DelaysEach=0
Dedicated=True
SayTrigger=False
bAnnounce=True
bBuffSound=True
ZoundVolume=2.000000
StandardServer=True
NoSpecToPlayer=False

ServerPackages=Zound44
ServerPackages=madsoundsIV
ServerPackages=madsoundsV

Correct the spelling in the UT2004.ini file from topgun to topgun2. That's the only thing apart from the extension not needed to be listed, that I can see here.

that was just a typo by me, in server ini it is set to TOPGUN2.uax ;/

Ok. Also take note that Linux is case sensative. (Unlike Windows, which folds all commands to lower case) UT2K4 maybe too, but I can't be sure of that.
