Adding custom sound fx with SCAR ?

After some unsuccessfull attempts to add my own sound fx to CoH 2...
(extracted the SGA Sound archives, converted a .wav -> smf/bsc, edited the bsc and trying to repack the archive .... All failed...)

(would be a bad idea anyway, since everybody who wants to have the mod, would need the whole Sound Archive, which is actually quite a couple of MB...)

So my latest attempt was trying to use the SCAR file to add the sound.

I have seen that the command Sound_Play2D is still available.

But all my attampts to get it working just fail

Does anybody has an idea, IF or HOW it could work ?

I have tried to use an tut-script from BuckyBoy but it is not working. (It was for CoH not CoH2)

My idea was, to create the custom folders (\sound\wav & \sound\music) and place my custom soundfile (smf/bsc) into it.

Did anybody tried this allready or has an idea what could be wrong ?

g_streamed_sounds = {}



function Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound()

local sound_info = g_streamed_sounds[1]

Sound_PreCacheSound(sound_info.sound)

Sound_Play2D(sound_info.sound)

table.remove(g_streamed_sounds, 1)

TimeRule_RemoveMe()

if (#g_streamed_sounds > 0) then

Rule_AddOneShot(Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound, sound_info.time)

end

end



local function Play_Streamed_Sound(sound, time)

local sound_info = {

sound = sound,

time = time

}

table.insert(g_streamed_sounds, sound_info)

if (not TimeRule_Exists(Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound)) then

Rule_AddOneShot(Rule_Play_Streamed_Sound, 0)

end



function Test()

Play_Streamed_Sound("SOUNDS.ChurchBell01", 10)

--Play_Streamed_Sound("mysound2", 25)

end

Thanks alot !

Since there is no way to put sounds in an .sga, these functions will only work for sounds that are already in the game.

Hi eliw00d,

thanks for your answer ! Yes, i have encountered the problem with the .sga archives allready during my tests.

What i was wondering about, was, with the path description in the Sound_play2d function, if it could be possible to generate this path manually and place the smf/bsc files there...

How would it work i.e. with an allready existing sound, in the .SGA archive, to call from the Sound_play function ?

Is CoH2 extracting the sga archives at start and generates those folders, or how does the function
gets access to the soundfiles inside the archive ?

Could be, that my way of thinking is complete nonsense, but i really try to figure out how this command works.

Maybe if somebody is having an working example ?
