Regarding GTA San Andreas on PC:

Whenever I add an audio zone, CJ is unable to aim his weapons. If I remove the audio zone, the bug disappears. Somehow adding a new audio zone breaks a game limit or gets mixed up with something else...?

CODE

auzo NEWMAP, 58, 1, 2924.1, -2927.7, 1.0, 22.0 end

It doesn't matter what name I give the new zone or the number of characters used (less than 8), or if I add it to a new IPL file or use the existing Audiozon.ipl file. The coordinates used or the track used doesn't seem to matter either.

I have tried using both known methods of adding an auzo to IPL. Type 1 works without the weapon bug but Type 2 triggers the bug. I have also tried disabling it and enabling it only through scripting too. The bug persists.

The only noticeable bug is the weapon aiming problem, everything works perfectly otherwise. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there some other file I need to edit to prevent this or define the new zone?

Thanks in advance,
-Midnightz

Hey,

I don't know solution for your bug, I mean, it's reasonable to have bugs like that. That's like placing cars or peds in main.scm on a dynamic object (they will fall down through it), eg. the black block with yellow borders, its name is with DYN_CARRIER_SFS or something like that.
Sorry, idk.

Btw, do you have a link to tut, or is there a tut about audio zones? I would like to know how to do that. Thanks.

You're talking about mission scripting. I'm talking about mapping.

"How-To Tutorial" can be found in THIS topic or on the gta wiki. If you do this, stick with the "Type 1" method to prevent the weapon aiming bug.

[AB0333]

No, I was talking about mapping too, I have only said that this bug isn't strange in situations like this. Also, on the CARRIER_SFS, you can't place a satchel or fire a bazooka! I know exactly what you mean, I'm only connecting my situations with yours.

Thanks for the tut!

[Midnightz]

Err, adding code within the main.scm is mission scripting. I'm a little confused as to your object problem... Some map objects interact oddly with the player or peds. For example, I made a map that placed a solid object (unbreakable fence) as the ground and when CJ landed on it, he'd fall through. I tried another object (breakable glass), and he stopped falling through. You would think the fence would have stopped him, not the glass. I read somewhere that in-game, CJ can push through most solid surfaces or walls. Some map objects have unrelated audio events associated with them too. I keep hearing gunfire where I shouldn't, lol. GTASA is both the weirdest and most fun game to mod, I think.

I tried Audiozon modding years ago and got this heavy bug. I don't know why, so i left this method for ever.

Thanks, glad to learn I'm not the only one.

I worked again on Audiozon.ipl

The bug occurs if i create a 4. audiozone of Type 2

i can create a new audiozone of Type 2 if i delete an existing audiozone of Type 2
then it works bugfree

[Midnightz]

I guess that means adding (not replacing) a new line breaks a game limit.

Thanks ZAZ, I appreciate the info.

Just for the Type 2 zone.
Seems to be an extra programm block for this method
the audiotracks for the missons "Beachmusic", "Lowrider" and AWARDS (Movie Star Kidappig) are working only for Type 2 zones
they do fadings then, in/out when leave/enter the zone, which needs distance calculation from a point
the other audiotracks won't do fadings

Modyfing Type 1 zones worked fine as well as creating new ones
i always used the smaller x,yz, values for the first 3 coord params
the Game changes autom. to radio when player drives car but plays auzo music when radio is switcht off

the audios are working with loudness suppression to have the effect of background sound
Stadium event bkgd medley was the loudest
GTASA\AUDIO\Streams includes *.ogg files for RADIO-music in vehicle
BEAT and AMBIENCE for interiors, some missions and for cutscene, can be played with script
