A3 Server Side Music

tinboye · September 6, 2015

So im trying to get music to play at random on my server. I can somewhat get it to play via client side, but the music files make the mission like 20+ mb

So i want to make it server side.

here is the code I have so far, but being that ive gotten it from other forums and originally was for arma 2, 2 functions are not working.

under @epochhive\addons I have my pbo file

ambients.pbo

in that pbo i have samples folder with my music ogg files

in the root of the pbo i have my init.sqf with the code

[spoiler]

if (!isDedicated) then {

private ["_sound","_length","_pause","_enableAmbient","_minWaitTime","_maxWaitTime","_musicArray","_waitTimeDifference","_randomWait"];

// Enable Ambient music? true/false
_enableAmbient = true;

	waitUntil {alive vehicle player};	
	waitUntil {typeOF player != "VirtualMan_EPOCH"};
	
 if (_enableAmbient) then {
        // Minimum amount of time before running the next track (in seconds)
        // Default for my script is 10 minutes. (600 seconds)
        // Must be less than the maximum wait time.
        _minWaitTime = 120;
 
        // Maximum amount of time before running the next track (in seconds)
        // Default for my script is 30 minutes. (1800 seconds)
        // Must be more than the maximum wait time.
        _maxWaitTime = 900;
 
        // The array of your ambient tracks. These must match the class of a
        // cfgMusic entry either in the default DayZ cfgMusic or Description.ext
        // In your Mission.pbo. (Example: class bombs)
        // It will choose a random track from this array.
		_musicArray = ["Misc_strange_wind","stinger_0","stinger_1","suspense_0","suspense_1","suspense_2","suspense_3","suspense_4","suspense_5","suspense_6","suspense_7","suspense_8","suspense_9","suspense_10","suspense_11","suspense_12","suspense_13","suspense_14","suspense_15","suspense_16","suspense_17","suspense_18","suspense_19","suspense_20","suspense_21","suspense_22","suspense_23","suspense_24","suspense_25","suspense_26","suspense_27","suspense_28","suspense_29","suspense_30","suspense_31","suspense_32","suspense_33","suspense_34","suspense_35"];
        
        // Pick a sound
        _sound = _musicArray select floor random count _musicArray;
   
        // Get it's length from the cfgMusic/Description.ext
        _length = getNumber(configFile >> "cfgMusic" >> _sound >> "Duration");
   
        // Lets figure out the random wait time
        _waitTimeDifference = ((_maxWaitTime) - (_minWaitTime));
        _randomWait = (random (_waitTimeDifference));
        _pause = (_randomWait) + (_length);
		
		// Play the song
        if (!r_player_unconscious and !r_pitchWhine) then {
            playMusic _sound;
        };   
   
        // Let the script sleep the song length and the random amount of time
        sleep _pause;

		};
		};

in my pbo file i also have my config.cpp with

};

in my mission init.sqf i call on the pbo's init.sqf

execVM "\q\addons\ambients\init.sqf";

am I forgetting anything?

and finally

	// Play the song
        if (!r_player_unconscious and !r_pitchWhine) then {
            playMusic _sound;
        };

instead of

(!r_player_unconscious and !r_pitchWhine)  what would you recommend i use as a trigger? this is what is used in arma 2, but could not find these in arma 3 epoch code anywhere.

You realize that you now use my original way of work at this?

I don´t know why u dont get my script running, but what bugs me is the fact why the "nice" community is going down.

No thank-you, only take take take.

What im trying to say is, i have no problem with this and maybe you bring it a way better as mine, but then you should at least name/credit the creator of the original idea, in this case me.

I hope you understand what i want to say.

cheers

btw: u dont can do that fully serverside. Every client needs the soundfiles. You could just do it with eventhandlers or something, but the soundfiles has to be in the missionfile.

the code above is actually from the arma 2 dayz code, source is from

http://opendayz.net/threads/tutorial-custom-ambient-music-serverside.15208/

Vampire's Better Ambient Music v1

so if this is you, i apologize.

I appreciate you helping me with your script, i just cannot get it to work, maybe another script is conflicting, i do not know. I hear 1 sound file, then nothing.

I run a private server which i run off my own rig. couple friends play on it, thats it.

Im not taking credit for anything, i just want my server to have music whille we play. not just listen to the birds chirp and all that.

I made a pbo with the sound files, then all players include that pbo in their launch

that way it should call for the sound files.

or am i wrong?

i just do not want a player to have to sit there for 1-2 min to load a 20mb mission file.

the problem i am having now is i'm getting an error when i run the server:

Error context ] = {"\x\addons\samples\fx_misc4.ogg", db+0, 1.0};

};

according to bohemia description.ext

this is the proper format:

class CfgMusic
{
	tracks[]={};

	class MarsIntro
	{
		name = "";
		sound[] = {"\music\filename.ogg", db+0, 1.0};
	};
	class Ludwig9
	{
		name = "";
		sound[] = {"\music\filename.ogg", db+10, 1.0};
	};
};

in my description.ext i have

class cfgMusic{

tracks[]={};

#include "addons\music.hpp"
   class intro
   {
       name = "intro";
       sound[] = {"music\IntroSong.ogg",1.0,1.0};
};

So, if this is from Arma 2 then i didnt say anything, sorry.

Like i said, i dont understand why this isnt running at your server, i tested it many times and it works great. Surely the code could be better, but i have no time for this atm.

To your problem now:

If you put the soundfiles in a pbo which all players have, it "should" working but i dont can say it for sure. What i know is that the soundfiles have to be in the missionfile because a serverside sync of music to every client isnt possible as far as i know.

You include a .hpp file at this point:

class cfgMusic{ 
 tracks[]={};
#include "addons\music.hpp"   
    class intro 
    {  
        name = "intro";
        sound[] = {"music\IntroSong.ogg",1.0,1.0}; 
  };
      };
[/code]

Thats no problem at all, but from what i understand of your post is that you have defined in this .hpp file (music.hpp) another class CfgMusic.

Remove the CfgMusic line and the last bracket from the music.hpp.

cheers

i figured out the error,

i had

sound [] =

not

sound[] =

game loads now. the music does not have to sync the same for every player. I just want the music to play randomly.

if you look at the original dayz.sfx.pbo, it contains the ambient sounds and a config.bin with class files of each ogg file

in the mission file it has a compiles.sqf with

player_music = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_music.sqf"; //Used to generate ambient music

so i do not see why a person could not have the player within a pbo with the sound files

that every player would enable via -mods=@ambients;

then within the mission file it would call via compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\ambients\player_music.sqf";

there is a players_monitor.fsm which has a code of [] spawn player_music; which i would guess this calls for the compile.

there is also a music.fsm

so maybe you can spot what the issue is:

here is my init.sqf i get no errors regarding this scrip, or my hpp file, nothing in infistar logs either that i can spot.

Sp4rkY · September 7, 2015

I repeat myself again:

description.ext:

tracks[] = {}; is missing...

music.hpp:

Remove "CfgMusic" line and last bracket...

init.sqf:

I cant remember that i did a install instruction for set this serverside...

//wrong

if (isServer) then {
[] execVM "addons\SPK_RAS\RAS_init.sqf";

  //right
if(!isDedicated && hasInterface)then{
execVM "addons\SPK_RAS\RAS_init.sqf"; 
};

Incidentally you call it twice, one time serverside and one time client side... Remove the serverside part of RAS.

Btw: The code-order in your init.sqf is a doom.

if (isDedicated) then { //run on dedicated server only };

if (isServer) then { //run on dedicated server or player host };

if (hasInterface) then { //run on all player clients incl. player host };

if (!isDedicated) then { //run on all player clients incl. player host and headless clients };

if (!isServer) then { //run on all player clients incl. headless clients but not player host };

if (!hasInterface) then { //run on headless clients and dedicated server };

if (!hasInterface && !isDedicated) then { //run on headless clients only };

Hope this helps...

cheers

im not running a headless client. so i do not see how the last 1 would work.

description.ext:

tracks[] = {}; is missing...

music.hpp:

Remove "CfgMusic" line and last bracket...

i will check this out, it use to not matter, i do not get any errors.

but i will try this out.

thank you

Angrygargamel · September 7, 2015

how should that work serverside without loading the file?

you cant play any file you dont have...

tinboye · September 8, 2015

I would make a pbo with the files and players would add that pbo to their mods launcher. Instead of having to download a 20mb mission file everytime

Angrygargamel · September 13, 2015

so you make your own launcher then? which automatically downloads all your needed files?

otherwise... if you rely on the players to download it on their own and put it in the corrct folder and put it in the startparameter so it works... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ^^

tinboye · September 13, 2015

It's a private server I run. Like 3 or 4 people play on it. That's it.
