I'm having a problem with adding the sound of rain. I've searched the posts here for help, and looked at the Kamino source files, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I made a sound region and made it call the exact same stuff as the Kamino one, and copied over the Kamino sound section, then replaced yav with kam on the sound for the sides, but I get this mungelog: Here's my LUA: Can anyone please help? (the rain works, there's just no sound)

I don't know if this matters, but are your sound bat files fixed? I get this error all the time when I select all and munge, but it doesn't affect anything. (because I haven't changed any sound stuff).

What do you mean, fixed?

Why did you make a custom sound file? In your lua you are calling for the stock kam1cw sounds if you want to change that you'll need to change that in your lua.

I remember that somewhere in a custom sound forum I read breifly (though never followed through with it) in the FAQ that you need to change the soundmungedir.bat or something like that because it is broken in the modding tools. That's why there's a tut by mav on using the swbf modding files for swbf2.

So that's where I saw it. Now the one for BF2: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=6166

Hidden/Spoiler:

1. Go to BF2_ModTools\data and open up soundmungedir.bat (right-click and choose Edit).

2. Find this line:


Code:
@for /R %%A in (*.sfx) do @echo Munging %%~nA%%~xA & @soundflmunge -platform %4 -banklistinput %%A -bankoutput %MUNGEDIR%\ %CHECKDATE% -resample %CHECKID% noabort %SOUNDOPT% %BANKOPT% 2>>%MUNGE_LOG% 1>>%SOUNDLOGOUT%


3. Under that line, post this:


Code:
@for /R %%A in (*.asfx) do @echo Munging %%~nA%%~xA & @soundflmunge -platform %4 -banklistinput %%A -bankoutput %MUNGEDIR%\ %CHECKDATE% -resample -checkid noabort %SOUNDOPT% 2>>%MUNGE_LOG% 1>>%SOUNDLOGOUT%


4. Save the file, and repeat the step for the file in your map folders (BF2_ModTools\data_MODID) as well, if you have made any before making the change in BF2_ModTools\data. Make sure you save any changed files.

5. Now, go to BF2_ModTools\data\_BUILD\Sound and edit the munge.bat file. Find this line:


Code:
@for /R %%A in (*.sfx) do @set BANKLIST=!BANKLIST! %%A


6. Under it, paste this:


Code:
@for /R %%A in (*.asfx) do @set BANKLIST=!BANKLIST! %%A


7. Make sure you save any changed files.

This didn't come out properly in the mod tools so they fixed it here at GT.

Wait, so I need to make custom sounds in order to get the Kamino sounds in my map?

No you don't, you have your lua correct, in order to get kamino sounds you do have to load the kamino sound file as you did.
As for why your rain sound isn't working, well that is another matter. Have a look at the objects on the soundregions layer on kamino they have com_snd_amb_static object with different sound effects, now you may, or may not, need to add some of these to your map. I would suggest trying to add one with the same parameters as one of the gutter ones listed there and see if you get sound. Oh put it somewhere where you can find it easily and away from where the main battle is so you can hear it.

Also you do not have to check the sound boxes on munge if you are not making custom sounds, which you aren't.

So, I just need to place all the objects in addition to my sound region? That may push my object count, but I'll try.

EDIT: It works now, thanks.
