Help with sound file

[Mr. Dr. Proffesor]

Hello. I am wondering what is wrong with this code.

datablock AudioProfile(Boing)
{
   filename = "./Boing.wav";
   description = AudioClosest3d;
   preload = false;
};

datablock AudioProfile(Breathing : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Breathing.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Creepy_Violins : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Creepy_Violins.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Keyboard : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Keyboard.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Trombone : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Trombone";
};

datablock AudioProfile(WEE_WOO : Boing)
{
   filename = "./WEE_WOO";
};

datablock AudioProfile(Welcome_WEE : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Welcome_WEE";
};



I made sure I spelled all of the sound files correctly.

Avoid using generic sound names, add Sound or something at the end of each name.

I do not see what's wrong with the code, what are you having trouble with?
Sound issues?: Some of your filenames are just the file name, I do not see a .wav, make sure to name them correctly like that or they will never work - Make sure the sounds are mono (use something like audacity)

[Mr. Dr. Proffesor]

The files appear in the addons select in Custom, and in the playsound event. When you event it (onActivate Self playSound Trombone), it doesn't play the sound. I got the base code from Sound_Beeps, and I just changed the sound names. I will try setting it to mono right now, and what do you mean by generic names? In Sound_Beeps, the sounds are just labeled Beep_EKG, Beep_No etc.

[Kyuande]

that has more characters, putting a name like "Boing" as just a name is too generic which is bad practice for naming datablocks and objects.

Here's what I am saying for those ones without the .wav
datablock AudioProfile(Welcome_WEE : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Welcome_WEE";
};

The game reads it as "Add-ons/YourAddOn/Welcome_WEE" which isn't actually a file - so it may not play the sound at all. It needs to be:
datablock AudioProfile(Welcome_WEE : Boing)
{
   filename = "./Welcome_WEE.wav";
};
Then the game will read it as: "Add-ons/YourAddOn/Welcome_WEE.wav" which is an existing file which should play the sound

[Mr. Dr. Proffesor]

Ok, so I fixed all of the filenames to  filename = "./Soundname.wav"; and it still has no affect. I also converted all of the sounds to mono. Could the generic names have anything to do with the sounds not working?

[Kyuande]

No. Post the add-on please so we can take a look at what's wrong.

Ok, here is the .zip file  https://www.dropbox.com/s/di795p2vanj8w0b/Sound_WEE_Pack.zip?dl=0

all wav files must be mono 16bit. make sure you change the bit in the DAW and also in the export function

[Mr. Dr. Proffesor]

They are mono

[Kyuande]

They are mono

But are they 16bit?

[Mr. Dr. Proffesor]

According to Google, 1 KB = 8000B
16 bit seems small...

[PhantOS]

holy forget i can't believe what im seeing

[Conan]

According to Google, 1 KB = 8000B
16 bit seems small...

just.....export as 16b mono pls

[Kyuande]

According to Google, 1 KB = 8000B
16 bit seems small...

Please do more research before you say anything more silly about 16bit audio

[Mr. Dr. Proffesor]

Ok, I'm sorry for my little knowledge of files, I've done some research. I managed to convert all of the sound to "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM" because that is the only option that has 16 bit in the export tab. I then went to blockland, started a single player server and tried to see if the files worked. They did not. So here is what I've done so far
1. I copied the server.cs and description from Sound_Buttons
2. I changed all of the sound names in the server.cs
3. I changed the description and added the .wav files to the folder
4. I posted here
5. I added .wav to all of the filenames in server.cs
6. I sent the link for the .zip file
7. I changed all of the .wav files to 16bit
