Displayspeech with a wave or mp3

[Magnus]

I have this script that says DisplaySpeech(HIST " &1 test test test test.");
The &1 is a wave files called "HIST01", but when a preview the game, it comes up with a warning "can not add HIST01.wave because it is a LFN"

This is a very basic scripting, but where is the error?
...and what is a LFN?
thank you

LFN, if I recall correctly, is Long File Name, but I recall also version 2.6 removing the issue with LFN... or something. Is the file extension really ".wave"? If so, try changing it to ".wav"... just a thought...

[Magnus]

Maybe i shouldn't call it .wav at all?
The LFN warning stills bugs me, cus it doesn't matters if the file named "01" or "HIST01" it keeps on telling my its a LFN...
but thanks anyway...

[Ishmael]

What format it actually is? Though most of the players can play it, you can get a conflict at some point of you name a .mp3 encoded file to .wav extension.

[Magnus]

Yeah ofcouse, but a have tried with both .mp3 and .wav and even .ogg....
And i've tried with the names "sound01" and "hist01" (it's the characters name).

But i've give it a last shot tonight before i'll smash the computer out of the window..hehe...

[Ishmael]

You've tried rebuilding VOX files? Or is that what gives you the error?

Smells like a bug... or then I've overlooked something...

[Scorpiorus]

Yeah, naming the file right is important thing here. I'm not sure about why AGS treats it as a LFN but if I remeber correctly there shoudn't be any leading zeros:

hist1.wav
hist0.wav
hist12.wav

[Ishmael]

Ach, right... : yes indeed, leading zeros...

I have this script that says DisplaySpeech(HIST " &1 test test test test.");

I guess you forgot to add the comma when posting here?

DisplaySpeech(HIST, " &1 test test test test.");

And before anyone asks, there's a tracker for xxx001.xxx-style file names: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/tracker.php?action=detail&id=139

Which was? Geez, I wish people would tell us what they did to solve their problem, so we can tell others. A lot of people keep doing this, saying simply "Never mind, fixed it," or "Delete this thread" or something like that. Tell us what you did!!

Add it to the rules "If you solve the problem yourself or by off-forum help, come back to tell how you did it."
