my 1st babysteps in the world of coding

but its become a funny little grf ,maybe even worth sharing..

so ill give it a go..

It needs another sound set to it and i would like some liveries, but the wiki is very minimal on plane codes.. so i cant seem to find out how.. tryed to read back into Pikka's code of av8 but couldn't find a line where it said "replace standart chopper sound with new sound"(in code), some help needed there..

Note: i borrowed Pikka's skylift 150 to make myself a little bit familiar with the programs needed to code grf's...sorry for this shameless "abuse"

That'd be Callback 33.

Thx for the heads up Pikka,

i think i managed to include a callback 33, renum gave some erors wich i resolved, but now i try to code it with grfcodec it comes up with the folowing error:


cannot include sprites\av_cvlgo.wav could not open .%. redundancy 59%)
invalid argument:


suggestions?

the .wav file i copied from av8 so it should be compatible ..not?
are there some parameters which sound files should have?

edit: searched Wiki, forum Pikkawiki, about everything.. still havn't found what exactly i'm doing wrong here
made sure the wav file has the right specs, is in the right map, the line i used to encode seems to be like everyone else did in all other examples, but still it does give me the same error over and over aggain.. nomatter what i try...: cannot include, could not open...


Mega

post us your code?

Also, make sure sprites\av_cvlgo.wav is where it says it is. Not, for example, .\av_cvlgo.wav or sprites\av_cvlgo.wav.wav.

I was thinking could i ad the sound sprite before actually using it or should it be used in a code to actually make grfcodec read it?

thx, in advance

Mega

ps using: Gimp,grfcodec 0.9.10 and renum 3.4.6 r 2056e

Mega when you think you have finished this i can post this file on the first post for you

Started from scratch aggain but actually did manage to include the sound sprite, and got the callback 33 into it , it aint using the callback yet so i need to further investigate..

after that ill try adding some liveries

Mega

I'm beginning to wonder if its possible at all to ad another sound to a helicopter based vehicle.?

Mega

It definitely is. Just not with the property; you have to use the callback.

Load it in Patch and cht:grfdebug to figure out what is (or isn't) going on.

Are you setting the bit in property 14, Mega? If you're still stuck, let's see the code.

Great!

please only show me what i'm doing wrong or where the mistakes are made.. ill try and correct them myself... or else i wont learn from it
I'm beggining to see how different actions /lines are used but fail to see the big picture yet.. i dont see how the actions for 1 grf are interconnected yet..

decyfering the wiki aint so easy, i often need 2 or 3 pages opend at the same time to explain the last..

Mega

Okay... why are you running the callback chain in the buy menu only? And that test for cb 36 is going to give you some interesting results...

caught

as you can see i resorted to copying some lines from the skylift because i had to find a base from where to work from..

when i look to one of youre codes i see what they are for but when i try to decyfer them trough the wiki i find things not mentioned there.. so failing every time to see connections of the extra added data..

maybe i should start with a basic plane instead of a chopper... it seems the basic code will be somewhat simpler..

First go at Iberia A320:

Nice start Alex, i have added it to the list, and a few changes to the the tracking table in general.

Can be found here and in the first post.

New sprites! Yay!

Iberia A320:

Nice Iberia.

Brill we need to realign know

Can this set be downloaded in game or does it need to be applied manually?
