Sound replacement

xen32

I have trouble replacing sounds.
I did everything possible and it won't work:

All I want to do is replace game loss/victory sound.
There are two folders in my mod folder, lua and sound.
Lua contains GUIGameEnd.lua file with these lines edited:
Client.PlayMusic("sound/gameoverman.fev/victory")
Client.PlayMusic("sound/gameoverman.fev/" .. (message.win and "victory" or "loss"))

Sound folder contains:
gameoverman.fev
gameoverman.soundinf
gameoverman_bank00.fsb

soundinf is:

/common/victory
3672
/common/loss
3672

Fev and fsb were created using FMOD, sound files are located exactly as in NS2.fev

But no matter how hard I try, it still plays default music.


Am I missing something?

You forget to precache the sound I guess :

// Pre-cache the sound
Client.PrecacheLocalSound("sound/randomizealiens.fev/aliens/growl")

Of course you need to change thiis line to match your files name.
This example is from Rio's tutorial : forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/128106/how-to-make-a-mod-for-natural-selection-2t

Won't work still
I've spent another 2 hours trying this and that, nothing would work... I thought replacing one sound file would be much easier job, eh.

Are there any more basic mod tutorials? I found one in the blogpost, Rio's tutorial and that one that Rio linked in his tutorial.
I think I failed at basic mod setup stage >_<

Yes, turn out I failed at mod setup, but problems don't just end here. I got my sound playing at main menu, I got it playing when reloading rifle (just for quick testing), but it just won't play on game end! At least default music was gone.
Later it turned out that I have to replace PlayMusic with StartSoundEffect. And my mod is finally done.


But I guess this mod will never pass consistency check, right?

DerAkademiker

Right
Good job though.

Tharos

No, it will not pass consistency check since lua files are always checked.
