[Spell] JASS sound not playing [Reforged]

[Ugabunda]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use the following recipe system to combine items: Item Fuse/Disassemble 2.1 (GUI & vJass)

The system has a part where you can change the sound upon combining the items. The problem is that the sound I want to use does not play. Here a pic of the path of sound I want:

And here I entered this path:

    // * If you want to use custom sound, setup it below
    // * "Sound path", "time in second to play sound after combine is done", "volume" and "pitch" of sound
    constant boolean        USE_CUSTOM_SOUND        = true;
    constant real           SOUND_MAX_DISTANCE        = 3500.;
    constant string         SOUND_FILE            = "Abilities\\Spells\\Items\\AlamTomes.wav";
    constant real           SOUND_VOL            = 90.;
    constant real           SOUND_PITCH            = 1.2;

No sound though... some more experimentation showed me that some sounds work and others don't. For example:

Abilities\\Spells\\Items\\AlamTomes.wav --> does NOT play a sound in-game.
Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\CrushingWave\\CrushingWaveCaster1.wav --> DOES play a sound in-game.

Is this some kind of internal bug with Reforged?

Since 1.32 internal sounds use .flac extension, but in your script you use .wav, try changing that.

Hey, thanks - changed it but no sound unfortunately still with the Abilities\\Spells\\Items\\AlamTomes.flac

It's just so weird that some sounds work (with .wav) and others don't.

 

[Drake53]

Two more things you could try: disable the 3D sound checkbox, and use forward slash instead of backslash (Abilities/Spells/Items/AlamTomes.flac).

 

[Ugabunda]

No, didn't work either :-(

I checked if the sound file exists in my 1.31 installation, and found the path is abilities\spells\items\aiam\tomes.wav. Note that it's spelled 'AIAM', not 'ALAM'.

Thanks a lot, that fixed it! Ugh.. stupid L and I...
