Playing custom sounds through .awc container

[thebma]

Hello, I’m trying to play sounds inside a (self-made) audio wave container, but no success as of yet.

When I try to play my sounds via code, nothing happens. The client console does show that AUDIO_WAVEPACK and AUDIO_SOUNDATA are being called, yet no errors or “we could not find x” logs.

Code for running my custom sound:

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    RequestScriptAudioBank("minimal/minimal", false)
    while true do
        if IsControlJustPressed(1,51) then --e
            PlaySoundFrontend(-1, "uniquename01", "minimal_soundset", 1)
            print("play")
        end
        Citizen.Wait(0)
    end
end)

Resource manifest:

fx_version 'cerulean'
games { 'gta5' }

files {
    "minimal/minimal.awc",
    "data/minimal_sounds.dat54.rel"
}

client_scripts {
    'test_sounds.lua'
}

data_file 'AUDIO_WAVEPACK' 'minimal'
data_file 'AUDIO_SOUNDDATA' 'data/minimal_sounds.dat'

The complete resource and the source files used to create everything (incl. .oac, .wav, .rel.xml).
minimal.zip (205.9 KB)

Basic workflow is something like:

1. Create .oac file to import into OpenIV containing a reference to my .wav file.
2. Import to OpenIV using openFormats, extract the .awc in the .rpf.
3. Create a .data54.rel.xml file, containing the references the .awc file(s), creating a sound set, creating a container.
4. Import data54.rel.xml into CodeWalker, this will convert it into a .data54.rel file.
5. Using the manifest, reference the .rel file and .awc to load into FiveM + script files.

Does anyone have some pointers as where I’m going wrong?

Another question, in the data54.rel.xml, the “FileName” in the SimpleSound item should reference the name in the .awc/.oac?
