Total Mayhem 1.36: Sound Bug

[HorizonPulse]

Hello all,
I'm experiencing a strange bug when playing with the Total Mayhem mod where most of the sounds for the modded units will not play during co-op story mode missions, but will work fine during normal multiplayer. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue?

Sound from mods are loaded directly from the mod directory "IF" there is a function inside the init file.
Normal FAF start uses (init_faf.lua) and has such a function in it.

The coop init file has no sound mounting from mod directories.

There are 2 ways to solve this problem.

1. copy all soundfiles from mods\Total Mayhem\sounds\*.* to your game-sound folder eg: SupCom\sound\*.*

OR

2. Open your coop inifile "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init_coop.lua"

Paste this at the end of the file:

Code: Select all

-- This section mounts sounds from the mods directory to allow mods to add custom sounds to the game
function mount_mod_sounds(MODFOLDER)
    -- searching for mods inside the modfolder
    for _,mod in io.dir( MODFOLDER..'\\*.*') do
        -- do we have a true directory ?
        if mod != '.' and mod != '..' then
            -- searching for sounds inside mod folder
            for _,folder in io.dir(MODFOLDER..'\\'..mod..'\\*.*') do
                -- if we found a folder named sounds then mount it
                if folder == 'sounds' then
                    LOG('Found mod sounds in: '..mod)
                    mount_dir(MODFOLDER..'\\'..mod..'\\sounds', '/sounds')
                    break
                end
            end
        end
    end
end
mount_mod_sounds(SHGetFolderPath('PERSONAL') .. 'My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\mods')
mount_mod_sounds(InitFileDir .. '\\..\\user\\My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\mods')

Save it, and start coop.
