Ok here is what I did

created new world "TES" , full world name "testmap"

go to data_TES\_build and use the munge tool to munge everything.
I get a error Start up the game on the test map to see if it all runs fine.

I add the code to my .lua
change AddWalkerType(1, 0) to AddWalkerType(1, 1)

Got the AT-ST added to the map.

copied data_TES\sound\worlds\test, changed it to tes

renamed the files so they look like this tes.req looks like this
tescw.req looks like this tescw.sfx looks like this download and installed the improved munge files just to be sure.

that munge. bat in data_TES\_BUILD\Sound looks like this data_tes\soundmunge.bat looks like this then I munge "Sound only"

I relaunch the game and still no sound so I really don't know what to do at this point.

Make sure you put the muned sound lvl (tes.lvl) into your map's addon folder.

Where do I find tes.lvl ? Again I am still super new to this and I have no idea what is what XD

It'll be in data_***\_LVL_PC\Sound.

Also you'll have a significantly easier time munging sound if you just munge your sound manually (as opposed to munging sound via VisualMunge). To do so, simply run munge.bat located in data_***\_BUILD\Sound.

Ok I found tes.lvl, where is this addon folder located ? Or am I meant to create it ?

Again, I recommend installing the "Fixed and improved munge files" here:
viewtopic.php?f=64&t=30415
Those files fix anything you will eventually run into, even when it comes to adding custom sounds, and they will also copy the files to addon for you, no manual copy and pasting.

Here try this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/fdb6e ... ata_TES.7z

• Extract the project to your BF2_ModTools folder
• Munge with only "Common" ticked and let it finish
• Munge with only "Sound Only" ticked and let it finish
• Launch the game and play the testmap
• Your AT-ST should have sounds

Make sure you put the munged sound lvl (tes.lvl) into your map's addon folder.

The soundmunge.bat he is using is modified to copy the sound lvl to the compiled project automatically, no need to copy by hand.
He just needs to make sure the sound lvl is actually being created and is around 10 KB in size when all is set up correctly.

Hearing those sounds in game, I will put that along side the birth of my first born when it comes to things I have looked forward to and will cherish.
Now begins the nightmare of trying to get this working on other maps and other missing sounds.


EDIT
So say I want to add in the geonosian flying and sonic gun effects in
would I have to add things to tescw.sfx and tescw.req for that, or am I looking at this all wrong ?

EDIT: OK so never mind, I some how manged to get the sound working by trial and error random things I thought would work.

I opened up tescw.sfx and added
..\..\worlds\geo\effects\wpn_cis_sonicblaster_fire.wav -resample xbox 22050 pc 44100

and added this line to TESc_con.lua
ReadDataFile("sound\\geo.lvl;geo1cw")

and boom, sounds are in there. ( I decided just to take "imp_walk_atst" from mlbcw.req and the sounds STILL work so I am so lost still but atleast now I know I can get the sound working)

gonna try and get this working on a pre existing map, thanks for the help guys!

EDIT:
I managed to get it working on my map I was working on prior, I copied data_TES\Sound\worlds\tes\ folder provided by AceMastermind and put it in data_MLB\Sound\worlds\, changed tes.req, tescw.req, and tescw.sfx to mlb.req , mlbcw.req and mlbcw.sfx

then I added this line to me .lua
ReadDataFile("sound\\geo.lvl;geo1cw")

and boom, it all works perfectly now. So I think this means that my issue was withing those .req and .sfx files.

There you go, now you're starting to understand how to work with the game's sound engine.

Another hurdle cleared XD maybe one day I will actually release my first map.
