[Question] Accessing Client Side Files

[-Spirits-]

My objective by asking this question is to be able to access a sound from the client folder so that when a firework goes off (for example) it makes the sound. Ultimately, I want to be able to play sounds for NPCs such as the starter quest's slashing sounds and such. How do I access sound files from the client folder?

A quick search would have found your answer.

Yeah,

GuildName = 0x3,
Spouse = 0x6,
Effect = 0xA,
GuildList = 0xB,
ViewEquipSpouse = 0x10,
[COLOR=Red][B]Sound = 0x14,[/B][/COLOR]
GuildEnemies = 0x15,
GuildAllies = 0x16,

So wait, what am I supposed to do with that because I think I'm doing it wrong...

CC.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.String(CC.EntityID, 14, "music.mp3"));

I've tried it a lot of different ways too. rofl

CC.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.String(CC.EntityID, 14, "music"));
CC.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.String(CC.EntityID, 0x14, "music.mp3"));
CC.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.String(CC.EntityID, 0x14, "music"));

Help =s

Dec 14 is not the same as Hex 14. Use either 20 or 0x14. Make sure the name of the sound you are sending is located in the client's sound folder.

I tried this code using 20 and 0x14...

if (Cmd[0] == "/sound")
                    {
                        Game.Character C = GC.MyChar;
                        foreach (Game.Character CC in Game.World.H_Chars.Values)
                        {
                            if (CC.Loc.Map == C.Loc.Map && MyMath.InBox(C.Loc.X, C.Loc.Y, CC.Loc.X, CC.Loc.Y, 20))
                                CC.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.String(CC.EntityID, 0x14, Cmd[1]));
                        }
                    }

and it's still not working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The string packet needs to send 2 strings for music:

Strings[0] = "sound/" + Client.Char.Map + ".mp3";
Strings[1] = "1";

Ive forgotten what the 1 does, but it wont work without it. To stop playing an existing track send something like this:

Strings[0] = "sound/" + " " + ".mp3";
Strings[1] = "1";

[_Emme_]

I think the 1 is for if it's on or off. Try sending Strings[1] = "0" when you want to stop a sound, although I'm not really sure.

What about for the 5165 source though?
Now I'm coming up with something like this:

public static COPacket Sound(uint UID, byte Type, string str) // Note1
        {
            byte[] Packet = new byte[8 + 11 + str.Length];
            COPacket P = new COPacket(Packet);

            P.WriteInt16((ushort)(Packet.Length - 8));
            P.WriteInt16((ushort)0x3f7);
            P.WriteInt32(UID); // Target
            P.WriteByte(Type); // Type 20 = sound
            P.WriteByte(1);
            P.WriteByte((byte)str.Length);
            P.WriteString("sound/" + str + ".mp3");
            P.WriteByte(1);

            return P;
        }

if (Cmd[0] == "/sound")
                    {
                        Game.Character C = GC.MyChar;
                        foreach (Game.Character CC in Game.World.H_Chars.Values)
                        {
                            if (CC.Loc.Map == C.Loc.Map && MyMath.InBox(C.Loc.X, C.Loc.Y, CC.Loc.X, CC.Loc.Y, 20))
                                CC.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.Sound(CC.EntityID, 20, Cmd[1]));
                        }
                    }
