Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out why on certain maps I am missing sounds for Lightsabers. Here's an example of an LUA that isn't working. Any ideas?

I think it's the same problem, as the missing vehicle sound

No, I have Saber sounds on other maps. It just seems to be on Kashyyyk, Jabba's Palace, Utapau, and Kamino that I have this problem.

Is it a memorypool issue??

Could be. However, I am not actually sure what pool the lightsaber sound needs more space from.

Most stock GCW era maps don't have lightsaber sounds in their sound .lvl files to begin with, like Kashyyyk. Who are the default heroes there? Chewbacca and Boba Fett, so no lightsaber sounds required. What you want to do is to load a stock GCW sound .lvl that has lightsaber sounds (like Mygeeto) and then add back the Kashyyyk ambient streams using the missing stock sounds tutorial.

Could I just load in the CW version of Kashyyyk? That should have saber sounds and ambient sounds.

Sure, but what other GCW specific sounds are you currently using, if any, would end up not working? And no, you shouldn't load both CW and GCW sounds together because any sounds that they have in common will break.

Alright. So you'd suggest I load in the GCW Kashyyyk sounds and manually do the lightsabers?

That's the complete opposite:

Whoops Tried it and it works. Thanks again AQT!

You sure? I did the same exact thing here (see the third edit): http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?p=402635#p402635

Relevant parts of the lua file: tevgcw.req: Be sure to copy over kasgcw_music_config.snd, kasgcw_music.mus, kas.snd, kas.st4, kas.stm, kas2.snd, and wok_unit_vo.snd from data_***\Sound\worlds\kas and data_***\Sound\global to data_***\Sound\worlds\*** before munging.

Yes, I did that. However I didn't copy over the actual sound files, I simply mentioned them inside of the req, and loaded in the stock mygeeto sounds. Worked like a charm.
