Silent Battle Timer

[Quaksen]

Doesn't seem to be working.

 

Skirmish battles has the clock ticking when it counts down from 30 to 0.

I've checked Locastans websites for upgrades, but no luck, the same mod is there like I have in modpack. Must have WG changed something for Skirmishes or you are using some sound mod that is taking over the countdown sounds.

[Quaksen]

Only using the mods listed in the logs - but I'll try to mess around with it and find out the cause.

 

Also - thanks for the 16 emails... lol.  <_<

[Aslain]

Erm, what 16 emails ? ^^

[Aslain]

Ahhh topic spam, sorry :) We have been fixing/ivestigating forum script.

Hehe yeah.. you and someone else went a bit nuts :P And since I'm following the thread, I got an email for each of them :P

Figured it out! Sneaky little issue.  :ph34r:

 

Reproduction steps:

Select Silent Battle Timer

Run WoT - Go into Training (the tutorial)

Timer is silent.

 

Now...

Select Silent Battle Timer

Select, under WoT Tweaks, "Preload Sounds"

Run WoT - Go into Training (the tutorial)

Timer is ticking.

 

Something in the Preload Sounds mod makes it load sounds from the normal audio folder, and not the res_mods one.

(Preload Sounds generates the "engine_config.xml" thingie.

 

Possible fix/solution:

      <project>
        <name>GUI</name>
        <preload>true</preload>
      </project>

If the installer detects selecting both Silent Battle Timer, and Preload Sounds, make Preload Sounds have this instead:

      <project>
        <name>GUI</name>
        <preload>false</preload>
      </project>

And then....

Select Silent Battle Timer

Select, under WoT Tweaks, "Preload Sounds"

Edit "engine_config.xml", changing the code bits above to "false"

Run WoT - Go into Training (the tutorial)

Timer is silent.

 

(The GUI files total less than 4 MB data.. so it shouldn't affect performance in any noticeable way..)  ^_^

Very well will remove preload sounds. It's behaviour is unpredictable.

[Quaksen]

Awww, that's not what I meant :P Hehe.. Though.. I'm not even sure if it helps me out at all, using the Preload... :P

[Aslain]

Ok, got it :)

[Aslain]

Will introduce changes as you suggested in next installer.

[Quaksen]

Neat :D

 

And yeah, I see you removed a post, sneaky sneaky, but yeah

The change I suggested, only turns off preloading of sounds, for the "GUI" sounds. The rest still gets preloaded :D

[Aslain]

I removed it next second I read what I wrote because I was wrong hence no point having it here. Yes, noticed it turns off gui preload only.
