SpecterDC13 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 So I was creating a mission and was setting up a trigger for a radio transmission to be played and when I selected "open" to select an audio file I clicked on the wrong one which was not an .ogg file and did not realize it until I tried to press play to preview it. When I tried to click "open" again to select a new file it will not open the file menu. I already tried closing DCS and reopening it and even tried repairing it. Does anyone else have this problem and if so do you have a fix? Or do I just wait for the next update?

doodenkoff Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Did you try deleting the trigger and recreating it? Win 10 | i7 4770 @ 3.5GHz | 32GB DDR3 | 6 GB GTX1060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecterDC13 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Did you try deleting the trigger and recreating it? Yes I have tried that multiple times. The mission editor allows me to click "open" and pulls up the file selector for .lua files, but as far as Radio Transmissions or Sounds it will not let me open the file selector for .ogg files for some strange reason. I have tried creating new missions with all new triggers and the same thing still happens.

Hardcard Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Make backup copies of your key mappings, custom missions, etc. then delete your DCS folder over C:\Users\UserName\Saved Games\DCS Also, you can try repairing your DCS installation using cmd: Gamedir\bin>DCS_updater.exe repair See if that does the trick.

Rudel_chw Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You could try to open the .miz file with a compress software (I use WinRar), locate the wrong sound file within it and delete it from there. Make a backup of the .miz first, just in case.

beppe_goodoldrebel Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 had the same issue 3 days ago. try "sound to xxx" command with the same ogg file. I know it's not the same command but for me it worked. I think something was wrong in the ogg file format with RADIO TRANSMISSION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecterDC13 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 So I tried everything and ended up deleting it all together and redownloading DCS it worked at first but then I ran into the same issue this time with an actual .ogg file. Soooooooo yeah I am at a lost now.

SpecterDC13 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 So using notepad++ I found the line that had the bad mp3 audio and deleted and it fixed it now I can open up the file selector again and choose the correct file.
