That didn't work. How did you get the custom music in your Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Field map in?

He used the SWBF mod tools instead of the SWBF II mod tools, but that means that you cannot add "missing" sounds.

MajinRevan do you know how to add custom music with the BF2 mod tools?

Nope, I have tried it multiple times for SWBF to no avial.

I haven't tried it recently with these tools though, but it works the same way.

I used the Battlefront 1 mod tools, set everything up the same as Majin siad in the first post and munged, then cut the .lvl it munged and put it in my BF2 maps munged folder. (Like what you did from the BF2 lv_Pc folder in Majin's tutorial) For the music I cut the whole ambient lines from the LUA then added soundstreams. (There just ambient regoins or something in the .snd.) Soundstreams work off of regions in ZE. Make a sphere region change the type to soundstream, reference the name from what you called it in the .snd and give it a min distance divisor of 2.

Look at all the shipped sound worlds for ambient sound streams in there .snd's for the correct line of code, if you want to do it that way. It's a constant stream of sound ment for bird chirping etc. but like I did, you can use it to project music.

So do I place my .wav files in the streams folder or leave it in the effects folder?

How do I add soundstreams in the LUA?

Sound Streams sounds go in the Streams folder.

Your not really opening the soundstream in your LUA your opening the .ST4

You add 2 lines like below, where one hfz is your sound.lvl and the other is the name of the .ST4

Don't forget the readdatafiledc: stuff above a few posts

OpenAudioStream("dc:sound\\HFZ.lvl", "HFZ");
OpenAudioStream("dc:sound\\HFZ.lvl", "HFZ");

So here's what I did.

1. I place my stream in the Streams folder called opening.wav

2. Edited my TESc_con.lua to look like this like this.

ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1cw")
ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\tes.lvl;tescw").......

OpenAudioStream("sound\\global.lvl", "cw_music")
-- OpenAudioStream("sound\\global.lvl", "global_vo_quick")
-- OpenAudioStream("sound\\global.lvl", "global_vo_slow")
OpenAudioStream("sound\\yav.lvl", "yav1")
OpenAudioStream("sound\\yav.lvl", "yav1")
OpenAudioStream("sound\\yav.lvl", "yav1_emt")
OpenAudioStream("dc:sound\\tes.lvl", "tes");
OpenAudioStream("dc:sound\\tes.lvl", "tes");

3. Made a file called tescw_music.mus

Music()
{
Name("thememusic");
Priority(1.0);
FadeInTime(0.0);
FadeOutTime(1.5);
MinPlaybackTime(20.0);
MaxPlaybackTime(180.0);
MinInactiveTime(15.0);
SoundStream("opening");
}

4. In my tescw.req I put

ucft
{
REQN
{
"bnk"
"align=2048"
"tescw"
"tes"
}

REQN
{
"config"
"intro"
"imp_walk_atst"
}
}

5. Made a soundstream region with Min Distance Divisor of 2.


6. In my tes.st4 I put

streams\opening.wav background

Is this all I need to do?

Yes, that all looks right. Except your .ST4 is going to be pulling 2 .wav files. The Soundstream needs a in and out .wav. So just copy the .wav file in your streams folder and then add it below your current .ST4

Example:

streams\ending.wav end
streams\ender.wav


ending.wav and ender.wav are both the same .wav just with different names for in and out.

The only problem you might have is in your .req. Not sure if the .st4 is on the bottom or not. I name my .asfx and .st4 and .req the same name so I don't have to worry about where they go lol. I forget which is actually being called out in the .req.

10. Get a .snd file. Copy one from other sound folders and rename to whatever you would like. Mine is called swrcweapons.snd. In it (I will not teach you how to put stuff in it), mine says this for that above .wav:

Code:
SoundProperties()
{
Name("rifledc17");
Group("weapons");
Inherit("weapon_template");
SampleList()
{
Sample("dc17_rifle", 1.0);
}
}


11. In your MODIDgcw.req/MODIDcw.req for sound, list the name of your .asfx file under the "bnk" section. List the name of your .snd file under the "config" part.




I don't understand 10 and 11 steps, i don't find MODIDcw.req ,MODIDgcw.req

Follow this tutorial first: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=4750

it is the PC_mungelog after make the munge

soundflmunge.exe : Error : Unable to open file C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\shell\effects\whooshl3.wav - while munging C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\shell\shell.sfx
soundflmunge.exe : Error : Unable to open file C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\shell\effects\whooshl3.wav, format may be invalid - while munging C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\shell\shell.sfx
soundflmunge.exe : Error : Unable to read file list C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\shell\shell.sfx - while munging C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\shell\shell.sfx

:S help me please, my e-mail is [email protected]

what i do more?

i put this archives >> .snd and asfx << in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_SEL\Sound\worlds\SEL

sry i know how to open and stuff but you lost me at

10. Get a .snd file. Copy one from other sound folders and rename to whatever you would like. Mine is called swrcweapons.snd. In it (I will not teach you how to put stuff in it), mine says this for that above .wav:

}
}


11. In your MODIDgcw.req/MODIDcw.req for sound, list the name of your .asfx file under the "bnk" section. List the name of your .snd file under the "config" part.

12. Test the map, and make sure you reference the name of the sound in the weapon ODF or whatever. In my ODF file, look above, I used the "rifledc17" part as my fire sound for the weapon.

i renamed the snd m16 and opened it and found nothing... do i have to get stuff from a diffrent folder other then test? im trying to get a m16 gun nosie on the model i got off of here.

It doesn't matter if the .snd file is empty, as you would remove everything in it anyways to add your own sounds. All you need to do is copy and paste the example .snd file contents shown above into your .snd file and edit as necessary.

Would it look something like this?

SoundProperties()
{
Name(machinegun-01"); <- name of wav file
Group("weapons");
Inherit("weapon_template");
SampleList()
{
Sample("dc17_rifle", 1.0); name of weapon im putting on?
}
}
