Old: How would I call for the CW general sounds LVL file ("cw.lvl") in my LUA, specifically the one from BF1? I'm trying to load the EMP launcher explosion sounds and the Arc Caster sounds from BF1's CW general sounds LVL file because they don't really exist for BF2, or at least not in the CW era anyways. I know they are in "cw.lvl" because I checked "cw.snd" and they are there. I already have the proper sound names loaded in my weapons' ODF files.

In my LUA, would it look something like this? And this?

Actually no, cw.lvl is where the VO is stored, you want a worlds sounds. Like geo.

You should look at a BF1 mission script for help, here is geo that I glanced at.

That was the first thing I tried - with the Rhen Var LUA - and it didn't work. Here is what I had my LUA as:

PIOc_con.lua Yes, I copied over the LVL files to the proper spots.

What do you mean "proper spots"? I assume that means addon/yourmapname/data/_lvl_pc/sound.

Secondly you're loading two sound files from the stock sound folder in the actual game. You can only load one or problems will ensue. Copy the smaller one into your addon folder and load it as a dc:.

If the sounds STILL won't work then it probably has to do with the same thing as when you load a second major snd file it overrides all the sounds and makes it mute.
