Arma 3: Radio Protocol

Template:SideTOC Overview of the radio protocol technology.

Voice

Units' identities:

class CfgVehicles
{
	class myVehicleEN
	{
		identityTypes[] = { "myIdentityEN" };
	};
	class myVehicleCZ
	{
		identityTypes[] = { "myIdentityCZ" };
	};
};

Voices:
Note: In OFP, there were no multiple radio protocols and all definitions (Words, sentences) were placed here. This is reason for some unusual config structures and many obsolete params.

class CfgVoice
{ 	
	// List of used voices.
	voices[] = {myVoiceEN, myVoiceCZ};
	// Words player after every radio message.
	micOuts[] = {micOut1, micOut2, micOut3};
	// Sound file played as preview in profile options menu.
	// When not format is given, *.wss is used.
	preview = "EN\combat\FireInTheHoleE.ogg";
	// Default speaker
	// When not defined or incorrect, first entry of voices[] is used instead
	default = "myVoiceEN";

	class myVoiceEN
	{
		// Protocol class.
		protocol = RadioProtocolENG;
		// Path to audio files based on 'singleVoice' param in profile (default 0 selects first entry.)
		// Second value is obsolete, was once used for limited demo which contained only one voice.
		directories[] = {
			"\ca\Dubbing_Radio_F\RADIO\myVoiceFolder\",
			"\ca\Dubbing_Radio_F\RADIO\myVoiceFolder\"
		};
		// Filter - what units can use this voice
		identityTypes[] = {"myIdentityEN"};
		// Availability for CfgVoiceTypes
		scope = 2;

		// Discontinued.
		voiceType = "";
		variants[] = {1};
	};
	class myVoiceCZ: myVoiceEN
	{
	};

	// Discontinued.
	femaleVoices[] = {};
	voicePlayer = "";
};

Profile menu:

class CfgVoiceTypes
{
	class myProfileVoice
	{
		// UI text
		name = "James G.";
		// Reference to CfgVoice
		voices[] = {myVoiceEN, myVoiceCZ};
		// Preview voice played in profile menu.
		// When not defined or incorrect, first entry of CfgVoice >> voices is used instead
		preview = "myVoiceEN";
		// Alternative CfgVoiceType class searched after this one (in case some params were wrong)
		alternative = "";
	};
	class myProfileVoice2
	{
		name = "David A.";
		voices[] = {};
		preview = "";
		alternative = "myProfileVoice";
	};
};

Protocol

• Engine automatically calls predefined sentences
  • Any newly added sentence has to be either supported by engine or linked by other sentence.
• Sentence can have two different sets of array params, both of them in format {class1, probability1, class2, probability2, ..., classN, probabilityN}
  • class:
    • sentences - class of other sentence.
    • variants - class of version within current sentence.
  • probability
    • Classes within array are selected randomly, taking into account probability weights. See Simple Expressions section for more info about supported expressions.
• Sound files are combination of following values:
  • [CfgVoice >> myVoice >> directories] + [RadioProtocolENG >> Words >> myWord]
  • e.g. \ca\Dubbing_Radio_F\RADIO\myVoiceFolder\stealth\myWord1.ogg (based on examples above and below)
• gesture contains link to action in animation config. Execution is same as using playAction command.
• Protocol is named in format RadioProtocolISO, where ISO is ISO 639-2/B language code of the faction to which protocol belongs.

class RadioProtocolENG
{
	class Words
	{
		myWord1[] = {"myWord1.ogg"};
		myWord2[] = {"myWord2.ogg"};

		class StealthWords
		{
			myWord1[] = {"stealth\myWord1.ogg"};
			myWord2[] = {"stealth\myWord2.ogg"};
		};
	};
	class SelectMySentence
	{
		sentences[] =
		{
			"SentMySentenceA", "(1 - Stealth)",
			"SentMySentenceB", "(Stealth)"
		};
	};
	class SentMySentenceA
	{
		versions[] =
		{
			"Version1", 0.3,
			"Version2", 0.7
		};
		class Version1
		{
			text = "";
			speech[] = {myWord1, myWord2};
			gesture = "myGesture";
		};
		class Version2
		{
			text = "";
			speech[] = {myWord1};
		};
	};
	class SentMySentenceB
	{
		versions[] =
		{
			"Version1", 1,
		};
		class Version1
		{
			text = "";
			wordsClass = "StealthWords";
			speech[] = {%1, myWord2};
		};
	};
};

Vehicle Words

class CfgVehicles
{
	class myVehicle
	{
		textSingular = "My Vehicle";
		textPlural = "My Vehicles";
		speechSingular[] = {};
		speechPlural[] = {};
		// SpeechVariants is used only when root speechSingular and speechPlural params are empty.
		class SpeechVariants
		{
			class Default
			{
				speechSingular[] = {"wordMyVehicle"};
				speechPlural[] = {"wordMyVehicles"};
			};
		};
		// nameSound is still used in some cases.
		nameSound = "wordMyVehicle";
	};
};
class RadioProtocolENG
{
	class Words
	{
		wordMyVehicle[] = {"DEFAULT\path\wordMyVehicle.ogg"};
		wordMyVehicles[] = {"DEFAULT\path\wordMyVehicles.ogg"};
	};
	class Arguments
	{
		class AggrTargets
		{
			modes[] = {"Default"};
		};
	};
};

Weapon Words

Property nameSound defines what word will be used for weapons.

class CfgWeapons
{
	class myWeapon
	{
		nameSound = "wordWeapon";
	};
};

In protocol, matching word has to be defined

class RadioProtocolENG
{
	class Words
	{
		wordWeapon[] = {"DEFAULT\path\wordWeapon.ogg"};
	};
};

displayName param of the weapon is displayed in radio message.

Location Words

Map locations containing speech are evaluated and can be used in position reporting:

class CfgWords
{
	class myWorld
	{
		class Names
		{
			class myLocation
			{
				speech[] = {"wordMyLocation"};
			};
		};
	};
};

class RadioProtocolENG
{
	class Words
	{
		wordMyLocation[] = {"DEFAULT\path\wordMyLocation.ogg"};
	};
};

Such locations can be detected by DistanceToLocation expression (see below) and nearestLocationWithDubbing scripting command.
