I can shorten it if need be, and lower the quality, but as it's embedded within the app (ie not referenced externally) I thought it would be ok.

There's a trick to using your own sound effects. We didn't do a very good job of documenting this, or anything for that matter. It's a three step process to use your own sounds. a) Enter the file name in the control panel (you did this) b) Add it to the Xcode project (you did this) c) Tell the application to load this sound (prepare it to play) when the app launches. You did not do this. To do this: a) In BT_Config > [yourAppName]_appDelegate.m file, find the loadSoundEffects method on line 854. You'll see where all the sound effects in the project are added to an array. Add your's to this list. Recompile. That should do it. Comments You're gonna be a quiz ninja before too long.

Now, to make this app exactly as I'd want it I still need to do a few things, and I wonder if they're possible: after getting a winning score, I want it to show the reward page while playing the mp3, then have the show scoreboard/try again/quit buttons come up. Also when you don't pass, I want the finished screen to come up, then the scoreboard/try again/quit buttons come up. All automatically. Is that possible? I don't mind getting my hands dirty with code, but am not very good with it. Also, is it possible to clear the scores before I submit this? It's got all my testing scores on it and I would rather they weren't there. THANKS!!! Comments PERFECT!

Mike the App Guy Lost but trying Posts: 435 Reg: Sep 19, 2011 Birmingham, Ala... 5,900	06/07/13 06:36 AM (12 years ago) I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering about this part: a) In BT_Config > [yourAppName]_appDelegate.m file, find the loadSoundEffects method on line 854. You'll see where all the sound effects in the project are added to an array. Add your's to this list. Recompile. That should do it. For adding to the array, is all you need to do physically input the file name into a list that is already there?
