i'm creating character vox sounds with multi-language support. thus the file directory goes like this:

sound\vox\sc\buffclass22s4ct\character\win1.wav

where "sc" stands for "simplified chinese"

i want to use client_cmd(id, "spk %s", sound) because it can 'stack' with other sounds simultaneously but it won't work (edit* no sound/won't play). using emit_sound() does works (edit* play just fine) but in my understanding it can't 'stack' with other sounds that have same channel. i don't want to relocate all the files because lazy, it has like 30-ish characters with 4 different languages each.

what's the different between the two? is client_cmd(id, "spk %s", sound) have directory limitation?

i'm using amxmodx 1.8.10

thanks in advance!

IIRC, emit_sound plays a sound in the map from a specific location (based on the entity). Only people near that entity will hear the sound. When you use the "spk" client command, it plays solely on that person's computer (i.e. it doesn't sound like it's comping from a specific location in the map and nobody else can hear it unless you're sending it to multiple people).

Regarding "sound stacking", I swear it would actually be the other way around. Would probably need to test it to verify. Also, sounds used with emit_sound need to be precached so that they are available in the engine's sound table (according to the function documentation).

Also, AMX Mod X 1.8.10 is a version number that has never existed. Do you mean version 1.10.0 (the latest dev version)?

omg yes, 1.10 is what i meant xD

i'll wait for your test result

I have an idea! I knew that you could send spk sounds with less volume and other shits using () or i think that it only worked for mp3s idk but if you can use that then you can create some kind of algorithm or system that will check for players in a certain area and based on distance, if there's walls between the player and the other player, distance between the wall and add some kind of multiplier, etc

what i want is playing my audio files using spk command. but it looks like it have directory limitation not as the same as emit_sound. in that link it seems doesn't support multilingual audio

What does that mean? I don't think I've ever encountered anything that I would describe as a "directory limitation".

as written on the thread, when i'm using spk it have no sound/won't play. but when i'm using emit_sound it will play just fine, within same file, same directory.

so im guessing spk have kind of directory limitation

When playing with spk you don't need to specify the sound folder afaik and also try with / instead of \.

Just put all the multilingual audios into one .wav file and do it like "spk sound(s10e14)". And the directory limitation is that you can only put them into the folder sound/. but i can be kinda hard since you have to put percentage and i don't think that floating points are allowed.

I have something like this in mind:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <xs>

const MaxSoundAtOnce = 2;
const MaxSoundLen = 128;

enum SoundData
{
    SD_Sound[MaxSoundLen], // String
    Float:SD_Start, // Percentage/100
    Float:SD_End, // Percentage/100
    Float:SD_Duration, // Seconds
    Float:SD_Volume, // Percentage/100
    Float:SD_Distance
}

enum PlayerData
{
    Float:PD_Pos,
    Float:PD_Volume,
    Float:PD_StartTime,
    PD_Id
}

new g_Sounds[][SoundData] = {
    {"hello", 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 1.0, 100.0}
}

new g_PlayerSound[MAX_PLAYERS + 1][MaxSoundAtOnce][PlayerData],
    g_iPlaying[MAX_PLAYERS + 1],
    g_iChangeSound[MAX_PLAYERS + 1][2]; // {Which, With}

public plugin_init()
{
    register_clcmd("say hello", "cmdStart");
}

public cmdStart(id)
{
    if(g_iPlaying[id] == MaxSoundAtOnce)
    {
        if(g_iChangeSound[id][0] == MaxSoundAtOnce)
            g_iChangeSound[id][0] = 0;

        g_iChangeSound[id][1] = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        g_PlayerSound[id][g_iPlaying[id]][PD_Volume] = g_Sounds[0][SD_Volume];
        g_PlayerSound[id][g_iPlaying[id]][PD_StartTime] = get_gametime();
        g_PlayerSound[id][g_iPlaying[id]][PD_Id] = 0;
        g_iPlaying[id]++;
    }
}

public client_PreThink(pId)
{
    if(!g_iPlaying[pId])
        return;

    new players[MAX_PLAYERS], num, id, i, z;
    get_players(players, num, "i");

    new Float:startPos, sound, Float:volume;
    new Float:distance, Float:flVec[3], Float:flVec2[3];

    static Float:gametime; gametime = get_gametime();

    for(i = 0; i < MaxSoundAtOnce; i++)
    {
        for(z = 0; z < num; z++)
        {
            id = players[z];

            sound = g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Id];

            if(sound == -1)
                continue;

            if(g_iChangeSound[i][0] == i && g_iChangeSound[i][1] > -1)
            {
                client_cmd(id, "spk ^"%s(v0)^"", g_Sounds[sound][SD_Sound]);
                g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Volume] = g_Sounds[g_iChangeSound[id][1]][SD_Volume];
                g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_StartTime] = gametime;

            g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Pos] = startPos + gametime - g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_StartTime];

            if(g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Pos] >= g_Sounds[sound][SD_Duration])
            {
                g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Id] = -1;
                g_iPlaying[id]--;
                continue;
            }

            startPos = g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Pos] / g_Sounds[sound][SD_Duration] * 100.0;

            if(id == pId)
            {
                volume = g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Volume] * g_Sounds[sound][SD_Volume] * 100.0;
            }
            else
            {
                pev(id, pev_origin, flVec);
                pev(pId, pev_origin, flVec2);

                if((distance = xs_vec_distance(flVec, flVec2)) > g_Sounds[sound][SD_Distance])
                {
                    client_cmd(id, "spk ^"%s(v0)^"", g_Sounds[sound][SD_Sound]);
                    continue;
                }

                volume = (g_PlayerSound[id][i][PD_Volume] * g_Sounds[sound][SD_Volume]) * distance/g_Sounds[sound][SD_Distance] * 100.0;
            }

            client_cmd(id, "spk ^"%s(v%.2fs%.2fe%.2f)^"", g_Sounds[sound][SD_Sound], volume, startPos, startPos+1.0);
        }
    }
} 


Edit: P.S. It's an idea code not exactly a working one i assume.

nice idea. but putting put all the 4 multilingual audios into one .wav file for 10 total files from 30+ characters each is too much time to consume i think
