New Audio-Files - Impossible

Post by Black NEXUS »

Hi,

i've search since 4 Day Sounds to remake a lot of the Weapon Sounds, but i can only overwrite existing Sounds. If i create a Soundfile with a new Name the Game will crash with a big Error. The Problem is SRC, all audio Files are included in it, so i must edit the SRC & compile it new.

Why i can't only edit the audio.wrf? What sense has it? Why needs the Sounds an ID?

Why? Isn't that how it has always been?

We need the IDs, since that is how the game keeps track of this stuff.
and it ends here.

I guess it would be possible to change the code to load the file names from the data. But what do you gain by that? The sounds themselves are hardcoded, without modifying the source you can't add any new ones anyway.

Looking at it again, some sounds are specified in data files (weapon and propulsion sounds), so removing the hardcoded file names should make it possible to add new files. Still, someone has to actually do it.
