Sounds...

[boblishman]

Andy.... not sure if this makes a difference but my button are soundfx, not soundFX ...and mine work with the waveset plugin ...

[andylegate]

I can try that (and have on some of the ALCscript for Camp Bravo). But the Plugin doesn't care about the case, or rather it looks to see what was there. At least that's what they python file on sound classes looks to me.

In any case, I'll try changing SoundFX to soundfx, but I don't think it will mater.

I just did a complete reinstall of blender.......and no, still doesn't work.

[andylegate]

Nope. No difference. I even changed the Music emitter to SoundFX and soundfx and it still works just fine.

Sorry. I have no idea why it won't work right on my machine. I'm going to look at the export log

Edit: and here it is, the export log.

I have no idea what it's saying, so I don't know if it's exporting correctly or not:

shadbuf ? ... is it off on EVERYTHING ... I mean ALL the objects?

[boblishman]

ok...you have a different plugin to me ... mine does NOT say that stuff about computing checksums at the end of the export ... (my nightly is dated 17-05-08) ...do you want a copy of mine ... and try that?

[andylegate]

Lay it on me. I've nothing to loose at this point.

there you go ... good luck!!

(this one requires the shadbuf buttons to be OFF on all objects -or you'll come to a grinding halt) ... wavesets are working ...

[andylegate]

Nope. No joy at all. I even transfered the Age files over to my wife's computer and used her Uru install, no joy.

Your Age, etc, they all work just fine.

[andylegate]

Just in case anyone is interested, I got this fixed.

Unfortunately it involved first completely reinstalling Uru:CC.

It also involves completely trashing Camp Bravo Night Time and all the work I spent the last two weeks doing on it.

Word of warning to ANYONE who decides to try and convert any Age with the Wizards, if that Age was build with plugin 1.0.0 or later: DO NOT DO IT!

You'll need to manually go in and change everything, with the exception of using the script for adding a new book.

Here is what happened:

The original Camp Bravo Night Time that was (yes, was) on the ULM for down load was exported using plugin somewhere between 1.0.0 and 1.2.1.
Wanting to make the place look better and use new features that are available now, I loaded it up in Blender, and ignorantly used the Wizards to convert the Age.

First symptoms of problems that I noted was that suddenly I would experience random CTD's whenever I would try and load the Age. Sometimes deleting the sav file would work, or using the ULM to move it from one book slot to another would cure this. Sometimes not.
I put up with this for the last two weeks (and was annoying as hell let me tell you, make a small change and can't link into your Age to see it), but did not notice any other problems until I got to my keypad puzzle.

The puzzle is a keypad of D'ni numbers that you have to press to gain access to the neat little office I had built. I spent several days trying to get a first person camera region to work, but failed, and decided to move on to the buttons themselves for now.
I successfully got my buttons to move back and forth while clicking on them, but noted there was no sound with them. I went over everything with a fine tooth comb and could not find a reason for this.

Later, I decided to reexport Zephyr Cove to see if it was something to do with the Nightly Build Plugin. That is when I noticed that Zephyr's clickable sounds no longer worked, nor my background music.

I then turned around and made a little test Age, nothing more than a platform and two cubes to click on: one using quickscripts and one using the long way with a python file so it would move.
Both were clickable, and the one button did move, but still no sound with them.

Tearing my hair apart, I sent my files to Boblishman, who reported that the clickable sounds worked just fine for him, meaning I was not doing anything wrong, nor was it the plugin at fault.

This morning I did a complete reinstall of Uru:CC. I put in my test Age, and suddenly my clicking sounds were working just fine in it.
I then moved over Camp Bravo Night Time, and everything went haywire! I got the CTD when trying to link into the Camp, the test Age kept getting deleted from the ULM ini file, so that you'd see the book, but pulling it out would lock up the game. And then when I did get linked into my test Age, the click sounds stopped working.

I turned around and removed Camp Bravo Night Time completely from the new Uru install. And everything went back to working normally, including my clickable sounds.

The only things that I have done with Camp Bravo Night Time over the last 2 weeks were:

Converted it with the wizards (big mistake)
Made light maps and added them as textures.
Built the secret office.
Put in the Keypad that Boblishman made for me (good one too, quite Myst looking!)
Added the ALCscript for making the buttons clickable
Wrote the python files to make the buttons move.

The only thing that I did, that I don't normally do to any of my Ages, is used the Wizards to convert the Age.

Sadly, I have to trash this new and improved Camp Bravo. I unfortunately over wrote the original Blend file. I suppose I could import the original Age files and redo everything, but frankly this has left a very bad taste in my mouth, so I'm leaving it alone, other than reposting the original files on the ULM. I'll just caulk this up as "Lessons Learned" and move back to Zephyr Cove and finish it up, then on to new Age ideas.

[Robert The Rebuilder]

Sorry to hear about losing all that work, Andy.

I've added another warning on the conversion wizards Wiki page that makes it explicit that the wizard is only for v0.5 ages. Hopefully, this will prevent anyone else from going through the same experience that you had.
