How to add magic sounds to Arma 3 VOIP

[Renz]

I followed this video (no sound):

Here's a bunch of ogg sounds to download if you don't want to make your own:

- Folder with dozens of sounds (Some files are over 50KB): www.mediafire.com/download/88nnhh0zvx0kr4e/SOUNDS.zip

- Website with free sounds: www.bigsoundbank.com/

How to add custom VOIP sounds

1) Depending on the Arma 3 profile you use, go to

        C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Arma 3

            or

        C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles

    

    Where xxx is your Arma 3 name

2) Create a folder called "Sound"

3) Move your .ogg sounds in the new folder

Now when ingame, press 0 then 9 to to see your sounds

IMPORTANT RULES

- Max of 10 ogg files in "Sound" folder

- Each file must be under 50KB. 

  However some servers have a custom limit. For example, Official Bohemia Zeus servers accept 0KB (so no sound files at all), while           other servers accept an infinite size

Converting MP3 to ogg

Arma uses .ogg sound files for voip.

To convert an MP3 to .ogg format, use this website: audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg

or

Download Audacity, an audio editing program: download.cnet.com/Audacity/3000-2170_4-10058117.html

Use the above to trim/reduce sampleing files to under 50KB, or convert it to ogg format.

It's time again for: NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!

Another important note, the sound file must be converted to MONO if it is STEREO. Mono means the file will sound the same in both headphones. The file will not play if it's in Stereo format.

Converting to mono will also reduce file size
