Modding sound effects

Post by Jepep Hepep »

It seems I'm quite inept at using the search function so I have to ask here. There seems to be little talk on modding sound effects and it should (in theory) be relatively simple to do. I haven't found sound files in the Starshatter directories, is there any way to add my own or modify the existing ones?

Well, you'd have to have new content to use the sounds, however i think theres some documents on modding in custom music at starshatter.com, I'm not sure, however.
So where's the obligatory game video with topgun music?

Musix is simple, AFAIK it's just about replacing some files in a directory. I'd like to mod some default sounds as well.

For music modding I would star by looking at the B5 mod, it mods all the music in the game. The the files are located in the following DIR

Music is stored in Ogg Vorbis format and is played from the following directories in alphabetical order depending on the current game state. (return to top)

\Music
\Music\Menu
\Music\Intro
\Music\Briefing
\Music\Debriefing
\Music\Promotion
\Music\Flight
\Music\Combat
\Music\Launch
\Music\Recovery

For weapon effects that handled in the weapons DEF. Explosion are handled with the file Explosions.def. ambient noise I not figure out how those would be changed. You could try creating an new sound file and saving it with the same name in the list DIR. I'd be interested it would work

\Drive
rumble.wav
burner2.wav
engine.wav
\Explosions

From this point down is my best guess for folder names
\FlightDeck
Catapult.wav
\Form
menu_hilite.wav
menu_select.wav
menu_close.wav
menu_open.wav
combo_select.wav
combo_hilite.wav
combo_close.wav
combo_open.wav
list_drop.wav
list_scroll.wav
list_select.wav
confirm.wav
reject.wav
accept.wav
button.wav

\Hoop
tac_reject.wav
tac_accept.wav
shield_level.wav
hud_widget.wav
hud_mode.wav
wep_disp.wav
wep_mode.wav
nav_mode.wav
mfd_mode.wav
\HUDView
MissileLock.wav
\LandingGear
GearTransit.wav
