I think I am missing an STM file, even though Mav's EFX folder did not have one

Can you post a list of all files you have?? (req files, au files,....)

Is there a munge output saying something like could not find, or something like that??

If there is a bnk file in the build/sound/wolrd/.../ folder everythnig is munged correctly and the problem is in the lua. If there is no bnk file something went wrong with the munge.

Sure it does, its named efxcw_music.stm

Oh. I have that. I have all the files from Mav's tutorial.

Anakin, if it munged correctly (has a .bnk), does that mean there are no problems with any of the munged files? That is, the ASFX, the REQs, etc? Is it certain that it is a .lua problem?

Could you please just post the files I mentioned? Thanks.

As far as i know modtools builds these files:
snd files -> XML Configuration files
req files -> lvl files
st4 and asfx files -> bnk files

So the req files will give you munge errors if there was something wrong. The most not misstakes for me were in the st4/asfx files. They didn't give me a log, or something like that, but the finaly sound lvl file was very small and the sounds didn't work. When i got them working and added some more sounds (the files where bad) i still got the lvl file, no errors, nothing, but there wasn't the sound ingame. The problme was, that in the st4/asfx file was a bad sound file called, modtools stops munging the bnk file, and later when it munge the lvl files, it took the old bnk file from the _BUILD\Sound\worlds\rcm\MUNGED\PC folder. So i recommend to delete this file on every munge you did, to make sure everything is munged right.

Nothing more to say. That would be the best way to find the problem.

EFX Req EFXcw
efxcw_music.stm
EDIT I uploaded the whole EFX sound world here:

Just want to point out that .st4 (and .stm) files are munged into .str files, not .bnk files. The .st4 file is almost exactly the same as the .stm file except for the fact that it's used for loading quadraphonic streams instead of stereo or mono streams.


EDIT
Found one problem so far:
You're referencing a file that doesn't exist, or in other words, victory.wav. Either comment out those bottom two lines with // or create victory.wav and put it in the "streams" folder.

Also: "stm" should be "str".

Also, I don't recall you posting your LUA.

why are you sure the wavs don't exist??

He don't open the stock sounds. your sound files need to be here:

data_XXX\Sound\worlds\XXX\streams

If you want to call a files lets say in this folder:
data_XXX\Sound\global\streams\hero_battlechatter_vo

you need to write this: so are in your data_XXX\Sound\worlds\XXX\streams folder ALL sound files that you are calling in the file??

Because I downloaded the archive and checked. I'd advise you do the same.

haven't seen the link

What about selecting shell in the VisualMunge? My sound files wouldn't munge because it couldn't read the shell.sfx file. Would that be the problem?

No. Munge errors regarding the shell files when munging sound can be ignored.

Well, I changed some of those files, and now it crashes when I load. I managed to fix it, but I don't think that this will work. Thank you guys for trying to help, though.
