No more sounds in Lua scripts

[Falconxx]

Hello,

I use Prepar3d and have recently updated from version 1.3 to 1.4. As suggested by Lockheed Martin, I did a clean installation, completely removing the old version and installing the newer one.

So I had to reinstall FSUIPC (v.4.853) as wel. No problems here, everything works as a bell. Exept for the .lua scripts that I made before (GF modules; avionics handling, APU handling,...) and where sound is used (APU startup,Cabin signs,...). Before upgrading Prepar3d all sounds invoked thrue the sound.play(filename) function worked fine, sounds were played normaly. However after the upgrade the sounds won't play anymore. The scripts work fine, there are no errors, the sounddevice is recognised and the soundref value is assigned. However the sound.query function returns as "false".

The sound files are in the default "\Prepare3D\Sound" map and I tried using the sound.path function, no effect. I have tried reinstalling FSUIPC, no effect.

All other simulator sounds, as well as PM Sounds, are played normaly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Pete is away on holiday for 3 weeks as per his announcement on the forum a few days ago, he'll get back to you on his return.

The sound facilities are working fine here with P3D 1.4. Something is wrong in your P3D installation or Lua files. Paste a sound-playing Lua in a reply, and paste in your FSUIPC4 install log, and I'll check.

Hallo Pete,

Sorry for the long post but i have tried to attach the requested files, that didn't work, error: "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file". So i just copy & paste everything.

I made a simple LUA script to test the sound facility, it looks lke this (very basic, i know, just for testing)

-- Soundtest.lua

SR=0

SD=""

SP=0

PLY=false

SD=sound.device(0)

SR=sound.play("CabinAlert",0,100)

PLY=sound.query(SR)

if PLY==true then

SP=1

end

ipc.sleep(2000)

The sleep function is only to let the sounfile play out and to watch what happens in de console window.

I have also pasted the output in the console window:

Console Started ...

As you can see, the sound driver is found and recognised, however no sound is played and the program does not execute line 13 in the IF..THEN block.

So the PLY variable must be false. The SR variable (soundref) however is set to 1. Strange...

I have tried with other sounddevices, always recognised but nothing is played.

As i mentioned before, all other sounds are played fine, in Prepar3d and also in Project Magenta's pmSounds.

I hope this will provide some awnsers, i have tried nearly everything...

I leave for a one week holiday starting tomorrow so i wont be able to awnser any question until then...

Thank for your time, much appreciated!

Paul.

Sorry for the long post but i have tried to attach the requested files

For text files it's best to simply paste them in. Saves me time too, not having to click and download attachments then deleting them from my disk afterwards.

SR=sound.play("CabinAlert",0,100)

Your Lua plug-in sound test works fine here, exactly as you posted it, both in FSX and Prepar3D 1.4.

All i can think is that it cannot find the "CabinAlert.wav" file. I'd need to see your INI file to check the sound path. Can you check the wave file is where FSUIPC is looking? There's really nothing else to go wrong.

More logging in the FSUIPC sound module is available. Edit the INI file, adding:

Debug=Please

LogExtras=x20

to the [General] section. For me, then running your test Lua, this shows for P3D:

	24648 Sound: Id 1, PlayNow("CabinAlert")
	24648 Sound: Id 1, PlayTheSound("E:\Prepar3D 14\Sound\CabinAlert.wav")
	26349 Sound: Id 1 DeActivate: sound not playing now ...
	26349 Sound: Id 1 EndPlay: releasing buffer
	26349 Sound: Id 0 EndPlay: all done!
[/CODE]

You don't need to run the Lua in debug logging mode -- it isn't that complex that it cannot be followed.

Regards

Pete

Pete,

The "CabinAlert.wav" file was put in the default \Prepar3D\Sound map by me for testing puposes.

I have tried with other, standard, soundfiles in this map. No succes.

As far as i can see the path to the sound map is correct, so is the sounddevice.

I have to pick this up when i return from my holyday.

Again thanks for the reply.

Kind regards,

The "CabinAlert.wav" file was put in the default \Prepar3D\Sound map by me for testing puposes.

I have tried with other, standard, soundfiles in this map. No succes.

The contents of the FSUIPC.INI file:

You didn't do the sound logging i suggested. Of the INI file the only relevant part is:

[Sounds]
Path=H:\Prepare3d\Sound\
Device1=Primary Sound Driver[/CODE]

I'm afraid I don't have a clue why the standard DirectSound facilities aren't working on your system, assuming the wave files are there and the Sound folder is correct and accessible. The logging might help show why, but it may also be a good idea to update your FSUIPC4.DLL to the same version as myself (not that anything should have changed in this area).[b] 4.859d [/b]is available in the Download Links subforum.

On your return, of course.

Regards

Hi Pete,

Finaly found some time after my vacation to Luxor,Egypt (and a few days of "The Curse of the Pharao") to renew my quest for the missing sound.

I did as you requested and added the lines

Debug=Please

LogExtras=x20

to the FSUIPC.ini file

I started P3D, waited until the aircraft was in 'Ready to fly" modus and then pressed the button to invoke the Soundtest.lua file. Still no sound.

Hereby the complete log file produced by FSUIPC up until that moment:

I forgot to update to your version of FSUIPC, version 4.859d, before I made the attempt. Sorry!

Just finished updating, started P3D and checked the log again:

[Pete Dowson]

52525 Sound: Id 1, PlayNow("CabinAlert")

52525 Sound: Id 1, PlayTheSound("H:\Prepare3d\Sound\CabinAlert.wav")

Seems it correctly creates the sound object and tells directOutput to play it, but it never gets notification back, to say, for instance, that it's finished as in my case:

4648 Sound: Id 1, PlayNow("CabinAlert")

24648 Sound: Id 1, PlayTheSound("E:\Prepar3D 14\Sound\CabinAlert.wav")

26349 Sound: Id 1 DeActivate: sound not playing now ...

26349 Sound: Id 1 EndPlay: releasing buffer

26349 Sound: Id 0 EndPlay: all done!

With everything working fine here, and no correct action in your setup nor error report, I'm afraid I've no way of knowing how to help. There must be something screwed up in your system, but whether it is sound drivers, Windows DirectX or is related to something wrong in the P3D installation there's no way I can tell. Sorry. All I can suggest is reinstalling or updating DirectX, and your windows sound drivers, and maybe even P3D.

Regards

Pete

[Falconxx]

No problem Pete, I'll do as you suggested, try reinstalling DirectX and eventualy Windows sound drivers.

However, reinstalling P3D (and add-ons) is not what i'm looking forward to. Especially because everything works great, except for the lua sounds.

Well, I will continue my quest and keep you informed if and when I find a solution.

Again, thanks for youre time and trouble!

Regards,

Paul
