AAT Engine sounds cause random crashes during game

JazzMaster · Post by **JazzMaster** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 12:22 am

So I have a custom sound file made to load custom weapon sounds and also missing stock sounds for weapons, flyers and vehicles. The map this sound file is being used in is also loading the stock space map sound file. So I'm pretty much using the custom file (along with another custom sound file) to load everything that is missing, which has been working without problems for me until I added the AAT sounds. When I had the AAT in my map, it would crash to desktop randomly during gameplay, although all the sounds load and work properly in game. The crash can happen not too long after the start of the map or at any other point during the game. It's always random, never on start up, and doesnt produce any Bfront2log errors. I was able to pinpoint it down to the engine sounds of the AAT. When I take "EngineSound = "cis_hover_aat_engine_parameterized"" out of the AAT's odf file the crashing doesn't happen anymore. I tried to avert this by loading the source .wav files for the AAT in my custom sound file instead of calling them in the .sfx file. The sounds work fine but I have the same random crashing problem. I feel it has to be something with the .snd file, even though it's stock and I haven't made any modifications to it.

Stock AAT .snd file. Can you spot anything weird in here?? I can't imagine there is, but it's really the only place left to look that makes sense..

EDIT: I loaded in the IFT tank sounds and used it's engine sounds for the AAT with the same results. Sounds work, but map still crashes at random. Also tried this with the republic gunship engine sound, which is loaded by the stock space sound file, and got the same results. This is weird..

Hey. I checked the files you posted. Everything looks totally fine from what I can see. Can you post the AAT's odf file?

hunpeter12 · Post by **hunpeter12** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:30 am

Try adding a different vehicle, and check if it works with it or not.

Marth8880 · Post by **Marth8880** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:36 am

You should never really use an .sfx file unless you're not loading any stock sound files. Put all of the contents of the .sfx file into the .asfx file. Also, for the sound property, layered, and parameterized names, try renaming all instances of "cis" in the AAT's .snd file to "cis2". Don't forget to reflect the changes in the vehicle and its weapons' ODFs.

Alternatively, you could simply not load any stock sound file and instead load all of the space sounds in your custom LVL if you're up to it. :p

Really? i always thought the .sfx was for loading stock sounds and .asfx was for loading custom .wav files. I tried taking all the contents from my .sfx and pasting them into the .asfx, and took the line that called the .sfx out of my abccw.req but only the custom sounds worked.

Marth8880 wrote: Also, for the sound property, layered, and parameterized names, try renaming all instances of "cis" in the AAT's .snd file to "cis2". Don't forget to reflect the changes in the vehicle and its weapons' ODFs.

Tried this, the sounds work but the crashing still happens. At this point i am loading the all of the AAT .wavs in the asfx as opposed to just the engine sounds.

Added the rep_hover_fightertank with its sounds instead of the aat. Same crashing problem. Makes me think it isnt the sound file but possibly some memorypool limit??

Here's my cmn script, to give an idea of what is being loaded:

abccw.lvl is the sound file in question

jedimoose32 · Post by **jedimoose32** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:01 pm

I guess it could be memory-related, but I don't see any memory pool sizes you can change to fix the issue. Just to confirm, the crash happens completely 100% at random right? Not when, for example, you do something in particular with the tank (like shoot one of the weapons, or swivel the turret)?

Marth will know whether what I'm about to say is accurate: This could be pure superstition, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that in your cmn script it's best practice to call your sound files in alphabetical order. I see you have yours called this way:

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\abc.lvl;abccw")
    ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\thc.lvl;thcgcw")
    ReadDataFile("sound\\spa.lvl;spa2cw")
    ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat2cw")

Try:

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\abc.lvl;abccw")
    ReadDataFile("sound\\spa.lvl;spa2cw")
    ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat2cw")
    ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\thc.lvl;thcgcw")

I could be remembering this incorrectly.

When the sound sample memory pool runs over its limit, the most-recently-loaded sound LVL (or basically the LVL causing the pool to run over) isn't loaded in. About 99.9% of the game's crashing issues are related to anything *but* sound.

Technically it's best practice to load all of your sounds in a single sound LVL, but that's difficult for modders to do, so instead, our best practice is to load sound LVLs by order of priority in descending order (highest first, lowest last).

I just realized that the .snd file is looking for nonexistent parameter graphs. Try this file instead:

I'm pretty sure the stock AAT .snd file lacks the exact same parameter graphs, but even if it does, you never know what could cause an issue with Battlefront's freakin' sound engine...

It's absolutely at random. I've tried everything, and it seems there is nothing in particular that triggers the crash. Sometimes it doesn't even happen.

I ended up narrowing down the sound files to the stock space file and the ABC sound file. All the sounds work that way (except the lightsaber sounds won't load anymore for the GCW era, but thats kind of unrelated right now as the crashing only happens on the CW era)

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\abc.lvl;abccw")
    ReadDataFile("sound\\spa.lvl;spa2cw")

I was almost certain this caused the crashing to stop, since i played last night and there was no crash. but i played it again today and then bam - crashed again.

I'm pretty sure the stock AAT .snd file lacks the exact same parameter graphs, but even if it does, you never know what could cause an issue with Battlefront's freakin' sound engine...

Just tried this Marth, but the AAT engine sounds arent there in game. EDIT: jumped the gun a bit on this, turns out it was just because the names didnt match up. it works.

I'm close to just leaving the AAT engine sounds blank for this map if they are being this problematic. I swear, setting up sound files is like playing Wack 'a' Mole blindfolded. You never know whats going to happen when you change something.

But I have to ask, would any of you guys want me to upload my sound folder and a copy of the map to test it with? If so i'll PM you then link when/if i upload it.

and for the record, my current reqs, .asfx/sfx files:

PM me the map's source and I'll give it a try. I don't want you to have to ship a mod with a silent vehicle.

I'll tinker with it a bit and hopefully find something to report.

Actually I think I may have solved it with Marth's updated .snd file. The file didnt work at first because the sound name didn't match up in the odf.
I've only played through the map successfully without crashing once, so I can't say it's totally solved yet.

I will still send you the source when I get the chance today Jedimoose.

Test it a few more times with the new file before sending it, see if that really has solved the problem. If the problem is solved then don't worry about sending the files. Unless you also happen to want me to beta test your map! [/stealthy-hint].

Also try playing through the map with AI disabled. I could be totally unrelated to a sound, but related to a weapon, character class, etc. Best to rule out all the possibilities by isolating it.

Yeah turns out I was wrong. It still crashes.

I am almost positive it has to do with adding another vehicle with sounds. When the AAT doesnt have a an "EngineSound = *" The crash never happens. I've looked through all of my unit and weapon odf's countless times looking for something that didn't look right and have come up with nothing other than that.
