Mission Audio Catalog

Mission Audio Catalog

Source-verified 2026-06-21 against master 0139a346. Paths relative to Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/ unless noted (other roots: Server/, Common/, Client/). Arma 2 OA 1.64.

The mission ships its own audio outside the vanilla addons: a CfgSounds registry in Sounds/description.ext and a two-track CfgMusic registry in Music/description.ext. This page enumerates every defined class, its volume (the second element of sound[]), and the exact gameplay callsite that fires it via playSound / playMusic / say. The Assets-Config-Localization-And-Parameters-Atlas only counts these (26 sound classes, 2 music tracks) and notes the airRaid bug; it does not enumerate them per-class, so this is the catalog.

Two definition facts up front: the *BuildSound factory jingles are still defined in Sounds/description.ext but every one of their playSound callsites is commented out (Client/Functions/Client_FNC_Special.sqf:149-173, "factory build jingles too intrusive", owner 2026-06-11), so they never play. And two classes are referenced by code but missing from the registry: airRaid (Client/PVFunctions/NukeIncoming.sqf:7) and upgradeStartedSound (Client/Functions/Client_FNC_Special.sqf:136).

CfgSounds (Sounds/description.ext)

The registry opens with sounds[] = {} (Sounds/description.ext:4); each class declares name, sound[]={path, db, pitch} and empty titles[]. The db column below is the literal second element of sound[]. Most callsites use the playSound [name, true] array form (the true = duplicate/3D-positional flag); a few use the bare-string form.

Referenced-but-undefined sound classes (bugs)

Referenced class	callsite (path:line)	status
airRaid	Client/PVFunctions/NukeIncoming.sqf:7 playSound ["airRaid",true]	NO class airRaid in Sounds/description.ext — warning sound silently fails. Also flagged in the Atlas (:95).
upgradeStartedSound	Client/Functions/Client_FNC_Special.sqf:136 playSound "upgradeStartedSound"	NO class upgradeStartedSound in Sounds/description.ext. The inline comment (:134) describes it as a quiet alias of commanderNotification, but the class was never added — the upgrade-started cue is silent.

CfgMusic (Music/description.ext)

One track is declared (Music/description.ext); tracks[] = {} opens the class (:3). Volume uses the db + N form. Note the class/file mismatch on wf_outro: the class is named for an outro but its file is wf_intro_2_7.ogg.

CfgMusic track	display name	file / volume (path:line)	played at (path:line)
wf_outro	Warfare Victory OST	\Music\wf_intro_2_7.ogg, db + 10 (Music/description.ext:4-11)	Client/Client_EndGame.sqf:16 playMusic _track where _track = "wf_outro" (:15) — the victory/end-of-game music
cherna_intro	Cherna Intro OST	\Music\cherna_intro_1.ogg, db + 1 (Music/description.ext:13-20)	DEFINED but no playMusic "cherna_intro" callsite found in Client/ Common/ Server/. The only other playMusic (Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:829) is itself commented out and references the vanilla Track11_Large_Scale_Assault, not this track.

Only wf_outro is actually played. cherna_intro is registered but never triggered by mission code (likely intended as a startup/intro cue that was disabled). The old end-game track selection at Client/Client_EndGame.sqf:14 (commented out) referenced vanilla Track21_Rise_Of_The_Fallen / EP1_Track15; it was replaced by the custom wf_outro ("changed-MrNiceGuy", :15).

Notes on dispatch plumbing

• The ARTY_message_* and ICBM_message_* classes are never named in a literal playSound line; they are passed as a _messageSoundName argument into WF_sendMessage (bound to Common\Functions\Common_SendMessage.sqf at Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:169), which calls playSound [_messageSoundName, true] (Common/Functions/Common_SendMessage.sqf:31) only for clients whose playerSide matches the target side. A second copy of the same dispatcher exists at Client/Functions/Client_onEventHandler_SEND_MESSAGE.sqf:33.
• inbound is the most-reused class: missile-alarm loop, IRS warning loop, and the camp-captured repair cue all share it.
