I'm having trouble getting new sounds to play

[Arreon]

I'm trying to put in a couple of new sounds to play on Warzone. The problem is, when I go to play a game, Warzone crashes with the following code snippet:

Code: Select all

fatal   |04:15:42: [statsGetAudioIDFromString] statsGetAudioIDFromString: couldn't get ID -1 for sound rocketfiring.ogg

I'm guessing that Warzone couldn't find my sounds somehow, even through I put the OGG files in the sound folder and changed the weaponsounds.txt to play the new sounds. What am I doing wrong?

The code snippet above is the only one that existed (apart from my mod notices).

EDIT: I need to know what txt files I need to edit.

Sounds are hardcoded in the source (lib/sound/audio_id.c/h), without modifying that you can only replace existing sounds.

If These files can be found on the Warzone program (audio_id.c/h), where are they located?

Arreon, there are lots of unused sounds in the Warzone, one of those, for example, the commander voice messages.

It's located in "audio/memressp/cmndrvoc/"

There are 18 files that you can use it for your new sounds.

EDIT: I need to know what txt files I need to edit.

weaponsounds.txt (weapon sound file)

propulsionsounds.txt (propulsion sound file)

Remember that Cyborg & Transport engine sound are hardcoded, the wheeled sound only applies to the wheeled truck, any wheeled combat unit is hardcoded to use the thread sound of the tracked propulsion.

Just a quick question: Do I change the name of the two commander OGGs I used for my new sounds, so that they match up with the ones I put in weaponsounds.txt?

EDIT: I've tested my method, but I'm still getting the same game-crashing code snippet as the one above.

I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

Don't change the name of the sound, keep it the same, but replace the older commander voice you want to replace with your new weapon sound (I always do this when i have a new sound, without replacing the older one)

You have to change the sound of the desirable weapon in order to apply your new sound:

Example:

Old Heavy Cannon firing sound
Cannon375mmMk1,lrgcan.ogg,lrgexpl.ogg,174
(weaponID,firing sound,impact sound,soundID => must be a unique number)

Updating to new HC firing sound (using unused commander voice message as your new weapon sound)
Cannon375mmMk1,com021.ogg,lrgexpl.ogg,174
