Can sound files be in subfolders of the Sound folder

[ProfitPilgrim]

Can sound files work in subfolders in the Sound folder? Or will they only play if they are placed directly in the Sound folder without being in a subfolder in the Sound folder?

As long as your file pathing is correct, sound files within a sub folder of the NinjaTrader 8 > sounds folder will function.

Thanks Patrick for the quick response. What defines the correctness of file pathing? I thought where it was located defined the path. Are you referring to the indicator ninjascript being coded to expect a subfolder on the way to the file? If that is the case, I would think a commercial vendor would only code for a sound file to be placed directly in the Sound folder and therefore one should not expect a subfolder file to be recognized.

A sound file can exist anywhere on your PC. When manually selecting sounds within NinjaTrader 8, you can search for a file anywhere on your PC. For example, go to Tools > Options and then click on a sound. You'll see a Windows File Explorer window appear which lets you pick a sound file from anywhere on your PC.

In custom code, you're correct - if the path of the sound file is hard-coded into the NinjaScript, then that file would need to be exactly where the code is pointing to or else it would not function.
