So I added in some vehicles to my map, I am able to use them and everything, but I have a problem: the Imperial speeder bike, AT-ST, IFT-T, and Alliance combat speeder AAC-10 thing are all missing all of their sounds. What do I have to do to get all of their sounds working?

But you will need to update your .bat s, because they don't work from the beginning.

Before posting this topic, I had already read through all three topics for adding missing sounds and all of them had either broken hidden/spoiler elements and/or broken download links.
^All broken image and download links are now fixed -Staff

I see. Well just follow the tutorial entitled "how to add missing shipped sounds (expanded)" for now. I guarantee you can get through it with the broken images, the text directions will suffice. I'll fix the the broken link in a bit. If you're stuck on anything, then post away.

Alright, so I think I have all the necessary strings in my SFX file. I have a problem though: the link to download the updated munge.bat file is broken. My guess is I'll need that file for this to work properly. How else could I possibly obtain the file?

I'm pretty sure I just fixed the link a few minutes ago. Hit the refresh button or something.

Oh! Thanks!

EDIT:

Ugh! Those vehicles' sounds still don't work! Here is my munge error log:

Please post your setup (files, .reqs and .sfx) so that we can help you solve your problem.

PIO is my map ID. I'm only having problems with GCW.

pio.req piogcw.req piogcw.sfx

Try this:
pio.req piogcw.req piogcw.sfx:
Remove everything you don't need, like AT-AT, etc...

I tried this and nothing has changed. Oh, and also, my sounds for the AT-RT in the CW era are now missing. They were working when I was using Utapau's LVL sound file. I don't want to do that method though because those files are pretty darn big.

So yeah, now my vehicles that are missing their sounds are the AT-RT, AT-ST, Imperial Speeder Bike, Imperial Fighter Tank (IFT-T), and the Alliance Combat Speeder (AAC-1). Here are of my LUA, REQ and SFX files, munge log, and error log:

PIOc_con.lua PIOg_con.lua pio.req piocw.req piocw.sfx piogcw.req piogcw.sfx Munge log: Error log: Yes, I click select all whenever I munge for this sound problem. Here are all of those files (excluding the munge and error log) to download if that would help: http://www.filefront.com/17093733/pio_sound.zip

P.S. I use Notepad++

Okay, first you should choose a sound file that has most of the sounds you need (for example Felucia for CW (AT-RT) and Endor for GCW (AT-ST and Speederbike), so the number of missing sounds will be lower.

In the luas, try putting the dc line first (It worked for me everytime), then remove the "exp_obj"s and the "Medium" and "Small" blocks from your .req and .sfx (You won't need them, if they're already in the main sound file).

I chose Utapau for CW but I'm not sure if I copied the right string. The string I copied was the one that the AT-AT, AT-ST, and AT-TE all use. I don't know if that's the right string, but it's the only one that I could find and I got no results whenever I tried to search for "ATRT or AT-RT" in the SFX files.

Hmm, I will try this.

Wait a minute, going along with what Marvel4 is suggesting, why don't you just load Kashyyyk sounds for GCW and Utapau sounds for CW and not make a sound .lvl? All the vehicle sounds you need will be covered.

Hmm. I guess I could try, but in future versions of the map I'd like it to have its own sound LVL because of changed music and vehicles and stuff like that. The music will always be from the Star Wars soundtrack but I want more of it than what is shipped with the game.

Anyways, how would I obtain those LVL files? Would I use the ones in the "BF2_ModTools\data_PIO\_LVL_PC\Sound" directory? Oh, and I already know what to change in the LUA.

While playing Kashyyyk GCW conquest, I noticed that there are no AT-ST walkers in the map but I have them in my map. I'll check to see if there are any in CTF.

EDIT1:
Nope, there are no AT-ST walkers in Kashyyyk. I checked conquest, CTF, and XL. XL mode is really fun and intense though!

EDIT2:
I am looking in Kashyyyk's REQ file and I see that imp_walk_atst is there anyways. I wonder why this could be when the vehicle is nowhere to be seen in the map? So I loaded Kashyyyk in Zero Editor and noticed that in the Gen-CP layer, an AT-ST walker is set to spawn in com_item_vehiclespawn0, com_item_vehiclespawn1 and com_item_vehiclespawn7. These must be for Campaign mode.

EDIT3:
Now the only sounds I have in my map are the music and STAP sounds.

EDIT4:
Now it seems that I'm back where I started. All of the vehicles in CW having working sounds but none of the vehicles in GCW have working sounds! At least those are the only unworking sounds.

I'll post my files in a new reply since they most likely won't fit in this one.

EDIT5
PIOc_con.lua PIOg_con.lua pio.req piocw.req piogcw.req PC_MungeLog BFront2.log I noticed the memory pool errors and am currently fixing that.

EDIT6
I put "SetMemoryPoolSize("Music", 110)" w/o the quotes in the memory pool area of both LUA files but I still get the same errors.

EDIT7
I noticed that munge.bat has "c:\windows\media\chord.wav" when my primary drive is drive F. So I changed it accordingly and I am about to test it.

EDIT8
Nope, still no different.

EDIT9
I'm still having issues.

You're making this way too complicated. All you had to do was change a single line in each of your LUAs. So just delete the lines loading Yavin/Tatooine sounds and remove the dc: from the lines you added and that's it. Of course, you'll then have to edit the lines pertaining to music but that should be an easy copy-and-paste job.

I was never told to delete the lines loading Yavin/Tatooine sounds...

Whatever lol, I did that and now I'm munging.

EDIT:

YES!!! They all finally work!!! Now I'm messing with the music lines.

EDIT2:

Music works now and I just realized that the STAPs don't have their sound effects. What do I need to do?

Add cis_hover_stap to your req and this to your sfx:

I'm using Utapau's SFX. How would I do this? I went into uta1cw.sfx and added that string where all of the other vehicles are, saved the file, added "cis_hover_stap" in uta1cw.req, saved that, cleaned all, munged all, started the game up, and the sounds were still missing for the STAP. Would copying everything in uta1cw.sfx and pasting it into piocw.sfx work? I already have the vehicles and all of that properly added into my map's custom REQ file.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I fixed it. In PIOc_con.lua, I added "ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\pio.lvl;piocw")" under "ReadDataFile("sound\\uta.lvl;uta1cw")", saved, added "piocw" under "uta1cw" in pio.req, saved, added "cis_hover_stap" under "config" in piocw.req, saved, added the string for STAP sounds in piocw.sfx, saved, munged all, tested in-game and it worked! Now to do the same thing with the BARC speeder who's sounds are apparently missing.

EDIT2:

All of my vehicles FINALLY have sounds now! This topic can (finally) be marked as solved.
