SOUND MOD HELP PLZ

SOUND MOD HELP PLZ

from Sins Forums

Hi

I would like to swap dialoge sounds for a lot of ships. 

I changed the sound in these 4 categories:

-on creation

-on selected

-on general order issued

-on attack order issued

 

So far I had limited success:

On selection and general order sounds are played but the others (creation and attack) are not 

and for some reason only the left chanel is playing in the game for the swapped sounds

Anyone has a clue about what could be wrong?

 

The files I edited were:

1. the ship files to set the sound IDS

2. SoundDialogue.sounddata to add the new sound files

 

Are there any other files that must be edited to play the sounds well?

Unless you're adding in new races or new sound files, the only thing you should have to do is replace the sound files that are already there.  Just make the sound you want and make sure it's relatively in the same format and name it the exact same thing as the sound file you want it to replace.  I replaced all the music files in one of my mods and that's all I had to do, replaced a few sounds too.

You shouldn't have to 'edit' anything, only replace. (and by replace obviously I mean put files in the mod folder with the exact same name as the sounds that you're overwriting.)

How did you convert your sound files into .ogg format? That is usually the problem for the sounds playing wrong.

I did it with Sound forge 10.

Now I know the problem was that my new sounds were stereo but sins only plays them mono, i merged left and right channels and now they are playing fine :)

For some reason, SoaSE music will play stereo but event sounds must be mono. >:(
