jay316 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I have some .wav files i would like to use to replace the blackhawk sounds with the sound of a plane, has anyone done this before, and if so can you give me some pointers as to how to get my new sounds to work best in game.

TheBlakeness (HotPants) Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 hey yes this has been done before. Works great for mods that dont feature the blackhawk but features some other aircraft. What you will want to do is locate the stock sounds in the IT folder and you will rename your sound files to match those, so that when your mod is activated, it will simply use your sounds over the normal ones. You will need to make sure your sounds are the same file format as the stock ones and it will probably be best to get your sounds to be the same length also.

TheBlakeness (HotPants) Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 you should do everything in your power to make the sound file as identical as possible as the stock ones so that you dont get any conflicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay316 Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) ok i changed the length of the sound to 5 seconds so it will be almost identical in length to the blackhawk sounds. now other than fractions of a second difference in length the effects files are identical. however the plane sound is too quiet and can't be heard from very far away, how can this be fixed? also there are differences in the file properties comparing the bh vs the plane. The blackhawk is 352kbps, 16 bit, mono, 22khz, pcm, where as my plane sound is 1411kbps, 16 bit, stereo, 44khz, pcm. Should these differences effect the sound in game, if so what needs to be changed and how, thanks. Edited July 30, 2004 by jay316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound Forge may do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
