All,

Uploaded the mod.

Enjoy!

I listened to a few of them. Seemed good.

I prefer to use a mod manager like JSGME but Pip frowned on my post. You suggest backing up and overwriting the originals. I wonder if it would work in your My Games folder?

I only put them in the root folder because I dont feel like making a sounds folder for all of the custom campaigns that I have.

I dont think sounds will prevent you from playing online.

I havent tried it though.

Mike,

Thanks for your sound mod! I'll check it out.

A suggestion for Pip ..... Perhaps changing the STUB ENGINE to read a global sounds folder located in My Games/BBCBA.
Hopefully we can see this because I agree with Mike, however I hate having to change anything in the main folder in the meantime.

Thanks!

JSGME is a mod swap program that backs up the original files and places the mod files in. A couple of clicks and they are back out again.

It does seem that having a global folder for sounds might be a good idea for those who want to tweak them. There is no effect on MP as we never wait on sounds to finish etc - and it would be kinda silly to do so anyway because of different framerates etc.

Cheers

Sound Mod is updated and uploaded.

New explosion sounds, several aircraft sounds, etc.

Sounds are usually wav in games and are large files. Having separate zips for sounds would help with the size of mod files and zips. If I have three campaigns that I want to use this mod in, I have to have a copy of the mod in all three folders. Having one sound folder for all user campaigns would be much better and then if the user campaign has a couple of unique sounds they can be included in the campaign files.

Pip, any word on global sound mods?

It's on the list, although not especially high up there. One issue is that it makes it tougher to package up campaigns cleanly if they need a global 'pack' of sounds too.

Cheers

Pip

I edited the first post with new instructions because of the 1.5.1 update that allows for sound mods to be installed outside of the main game files.

See the 1.5.1 update for more details.
