Anyone written down any instructions anywhere on how to mod sounds in forged alliance? This post seems to have a dearth of actually useful information. Cheers.

There is a "DMS lite" ? What's inside ? (yeah I know we are derailing the original thread but I'm curious).

My answer was directed towards the other posters and certainly not towards you oh code master. God my nose still hurts from poking inside DMS complex code.

(pity some of the gems in there are left unexplored by the community though).

Are you saying that Total Mayhem new sounds allready existed inside the SCFA game ? So he didn't create anything new from scratch ?

If I remember well Total Mayhem mod by Burnie added tons of new sounds to the game maybe you should look into that mod for examples.

Read my whole triple post. I did figure out the rest on my own.

Thought it was pretty obvious I wasn't being completely serious. Sorry if you felt offended though.

and by the way it is easy to figure out how to make a wavebank and add the cues and use them in game,
i figured out how to get the sounds working years ago i was one of the first actually, im also with 10000% certanty
was the first to figure out how to get new movies into the game also.

if you cant figure it out, maybe you should try harder.

Here's a single song wavebank for anyone who wants to try implementing it! Once you have confirmed its working I can send you a wavebank containing any tracks from my soundcloud

Name of the track is "insertepicsoundtracktitle"

So after browsing the help pages a bit I came across an answer: You can't. Without programming anyway.

Wavebank (.xwb) and soundbank (.xsb) files are generated by the XACT GUI from a project file (.xap). The XACT GUI cannot load the generated files, it can only load .xap files.

The binary format of the wavebank file is documented in the header xact2wb.h. Using this header, you can write a tool to parse data from the wavebank.

The binary format of the soundbank file is not documented.

However I can, of course, create new .xwb and .xsb files! Which can then be run through code I expect.

just get hold of xna 2007 release, the program for the audio is exact i think its called installed with xna.

open exact, start a new project, set up a sound bank, then add some trigger and cues to the bank,
the sounds have to be mono wav files @ 22k i think before you import them into the sound bank.

here is xna 3.1, you might also need, microsoft visual stuio 2008 or/and 2010 not sure.

once you have xna/exact installed and working, figuring out how it works is very easy.
