[HOW TO] Adding Intro Music!

[Indiculous]

NOTICE: I do not take credit for these scripts im simply just sharing them with a tutorial!

 

Programs i use : http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

 

Find a song you wish to use and drag and drop it into audacity.

 

Crop the song to around 30 seconds and then "File\export" export it as OGG

 

Name the OGG File introsong and put it in the root of your mission file (in the same place as your init.sqf)

 

 

Now on to the script!

 

1)Open your init.sqf

 

Around Line 88 look for 

//Run the player monitor

 

Just under that place this 

 _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death; _nul = [] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";}];

2)Make a sqf called playerspawn.sqf in the same place as your init.sqf

 

and inside that paste this into it

 

waitUntil { alive player };
//BlurGaming Intro Script
sleep 4;
playsound "introSong";
cutText ["servername here", "PLAIN DOWN"];

 

3)in your description.ext around line 43-55 you will see this 

class RscPicture
{
access=0;
type=0;
idc=-1;
style=48;
colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
colorText[]={1,1,1,1};
font="TahomaB";
sizeEx=0;
lineSpacing=0;
text="";
};

 

Under that paste this 

 

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] =
    {
    introSong
    };
    class introSong
    {
    name="introSong";
    sound[]={introSong.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
};

 

 

Thats it your done!

[Achmed]

[psychosis]

not worked.

 

Now on to the script!

 

1)Open your init.sqf

 

Around Line 88 look for 

//Run the player monitor

 

Just under that place this 

 _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death; _nul = [] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";}];

 

without add ... just
 

replace this

_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];

 

with this 

 _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death; _nul = [] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";}];

 

 

 

and you forgot about :

_nul = [] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";

If using server crdits you can just add playsound "introSong"; into scripts text, obv with description change

Glad to see people still use this, thanks for posting again! ;)

Sorry for bumping an older topic, but how can I activate the intro music once a 'not dead' player joins the game?

For this you only have to put

[] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";

in your init.sqf at the bottom and the //Playermonitor Line you setup back as it was:

_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];

[clarkycal]

[Spodermayt]

[Gr8]

[oSoDirty]

anybody have good intro music?

I usually use a good breakdown from a metal song. good for setting the DayZ mood.

anybody have good intro music?

"Bang bang" is good ;)

[Lone Wolf AU]

How do I get it to play multiple songs randomly as player enters server?

 

Meaning having 4 or 5 ogg files and the server plays 1 song on entry randomly from the 4 or 5 in there.

 

Anyone know how?

 

Cheers

 

:)

[Phobix]

you dont want to do that, your mission file would be gigantic.

[Lone Wolf AU]

Yeah it's only 8 meg, downloads in 30 seconds tops

 

It's how I used to do it and players liked the variety.

[Gr8]

8MB is huge, u wanna keep it low as 2MB

[Corper]

Or 774kb like me

class CfgSounds
{
    sounds[] =
    {
		carLock;
		introSong
    };
    class carLock
    {
		name="carLock";
		sound[]={sounds\carlock.ogg,0.9,1};
		titles[] = {};
    };
	class introSong
	{
    name="introSong";
    sound[]={introSong.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
    };
}; 

please repair

All working great however the song and credits play every time someone logs in not just after a player dies and respawns

 

Anyway to change this ?

[R4id3n84]

BUMP

 

Anyone ?

Same here, i wish for it to only play when player dies and Re-spawns or Fresh Spawn

 

also is there by chance a way to put the .ogg server side so people dont have to download a bigger mission, already changed 1mb to 200kb .ogg but thought i ask

[Gr8]

In your init.sqf

 

Delete :

_nul = [] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";

at the bottom add this

waitUntil {!isNil "PVDZE_plr_LoginRecord"};
if (!isDedicated && (dayzPlayerLogin2 select 2)) then {
    if (dayzPlayerLogin2 select 2) then {execVM "playerspawn.sqf";};
};

This will make sure that the song only plays if he is a fresh spawn
