Playing sounds? Can't get it to work [solved]

[McJty]

Hi all, I have a sounds.json file that looks like this:

 

{
    "teleport_whoosh" : {"category": "block", "sounds": [{"name":"teleport_whoosh","stream":"false"]}
}

 

It is placed inside my assets/rftools/sounds folder.

 

In code I try to play the sound like this:

 

        worldObj.playSoundAtEntity(teleportingPlayer, RFTools.MODID+":teleport_whoosh", 1.0f, 1.0f);

 

But I get this error in the log and no sound:

 

[07:59:50] [Client thread/WARN]: Unable to play unknown soundEvent: rftools:teleport_whoosh

 

I also tried without RFTools.MODID+":" but that doesn't work either.

 

What am I missing?

Hi

 

An example from one of my mods

 

resourceLocation = new ResourceLocation("speedytoolsmod:complex.boundarygrab");

 

sound file

 

resources/assets/speedytoolsmod/sounds/complex/boundarygrabquiet.ogg

 

in the json:

{

  "complex.boundarygrab": {"category": "player", "sounds": ["complex/boundarygrabquiet"]}

}

 

Your json looks a bit different to mine, perhaps try the simpler format.  The other bits look fine to me.

PS the json file should be

resources/assets/speedytoolsmod/sounds.json

not

resources/assets/speedytoolsmod/sounds/sounds.json

 

perhaps that's the reason...

Thanks! Your suggestions fixed it. I misinterpreted this tutorial (http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/MrGReapers_tutorials/1.7.2_sound_tutorial) when it said:

 

n your dev enviroment your resources folder will be in : root\src\main\resources\assets\modid in that modid folder you need to create a "sounds" folder and a sounds.json file

 

So I thought the sounds.json should go inside the sounds folder.

 

It works perfectly now.

No worries, glad to help.

 

Yeah that wiki page is confusing.  I changed it.
