I've been trying to get some custom sound effects onto the vanilla Naboo map but I can't seem to get them to work. I've looked at these tutorials ( http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4750 / http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6166 ) but they haven't really helped much. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? All of my wav files are 352kbps.

You don't need the SFX file, only the ASFX file. Ditch it.

Nothing that springs immediately to mind - from here this looks like it should be working now but without seeing the sound folder setup I can't say.

As for my previous suggestion I might be mistaken but from what I remember the SFX is munged after the ASFX but it creates the same type of output file so it overwrites the ASFX bank file - for future reference an SFX file is only needed if you are calling stock sounds from the common.bnk file and I think it should be named something else to stop the munge from overwriting the custom SFX.

There might be file name mismatches in your REQ files. What are the names of all your files?

The ASFX file is called "pcf" as is the REQ file. The Era REQ file in question is called "pcfgcw" as is the Era SND file.

Here's a screen snip of the folder:

Well that got my sound into the game, but it's fairly quiet. Any tips on how to make it louder in-game? I have Audacity but I don't think simply raising the volume is the answer.

I just amplify it until it sounds louder and it doesn't really loose that much quality.

Before you Amplify it, see if Normalizing helps first.

Tried both, amplifying a bit seemed to sound better. I guess we can call this solved now.
