Sound Mod Questions

Post by Eaol »

I've searched the forums and haven't found anything specifically about creating a sound mod. I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers on how I might be able to do that.

If this is doable, and I can't imagine why it shouldn't be, where might I start?

I know, and I've looked at those things. I'm looking for information on how to make a mod to replace the default sounds, not simply to add sounds to a mod map or whatever (I have another topic asking for help on that since I've not been able to get sounds working). I just figured that it must be different if you're seeking to replace stock sound effects throughout the game, akin to changing the stock .lvls in the _LVL_PC folder.

If anyone is willing to take the time to help explain this stuff to me over Skype or something like that, I'd love you forever. I don't want to make more of a mess of my mod tools folders than I already have... My skype is the_carrot_07041776, and you know you found the right guy if the picture is an image of Tommy Wiseau from "The Room".

Hmm... Now, seeing as how all the default sound effects are stored in common.bnk in the stock sound folder, how the music and I believe the VOs are stored in global.lvl in the same folder, and how the ambient streams are all stored in the respective levels' sound lvl files, there should be a way to replace them... I'll have to try some stuff out and get back to you.

If you happen to fing/extract those VO files I would also be interested in them. That is of course if you do extract them.

If you're just looking for the files with little intention to do anything with them in the game, I think somewhere on the site there is a topic about ripping sounds from the game which has some of those voiceovers on it.

(I was remixing and doing stuff with the BF2 and BF1 sounds I got from that thread to come up with new ones...)

The voice overs are scattered in the thread from this post to the end of the thread: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?p=481946#p481946

@Marth8880
I went ahead and added all of those links to the bottom of your original post since they would be overlooked by most.
