B Other More Metal Sound Mod V2.2 for 1.010/1.011 & Warband 1.105+ *Updated 6/19/10

[xenoargh]

You'd have to hand-edit your Module system module_sounds.  Just check it out, it's pretty obvious how it works.

Oh, and Checkmaty, I used an edited version of this in Blood and Steel, thanks for making it

I tried to edit it before, but the game started crashing on me.

Any pointers?

I installed this mod in both optional way but I can't hear any difference in the sounds. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, it's really pretty simple.

module_sounds is just a list of sound references (many, but not all, are hard-coded), some tuples that refer to how the sound is played (volume,priority,looping) and a list of sound files that are randomly played.

So, this plays exactly one sound file when the (hard-coded) event for metal hitting a wooden shield occurs:

("shield_hit_metal_wood",sf_priority_7|sf_vol_10, ["sound01.ogg"]),

If you want more than one sound, you just add the file names in the proper block, like so:

("shield_hit_metal_wood",sf_priority_7|sf_vol_10, ["sound01.ogg","sound02.ogg"]),

And so forth. 

So basically, you just need to use the module_sounds.py that's included with this and copy-pasta the stuff you want into your own.  You can't make the game crash doing this unless:

1.  You do something that can break any Module System code, like use bad syntax (forget apostrophes, brackets, commas, etc.) or a nonexistent tuple reference.
2.  You try using more than 32 sounds for an event.

That's pretty much all there is to it, codewise.  I pretty much just copied most of Checkmaty's code and did some editing to get a few things below 32, and was done in 20 minutes.

Thanks for that xeno, I tried editing sounds.txt instead of sounds.py.

@Xenoaargh:
You mean you can have 32 sounds in total, or 32 sounds per let's say "shield_hit_metal_wood" ?

 

[xenoargh]

32 sounds per let's say "shield_hit_metal_wood".

To put another way, if you exceed it, you'll know, because the game will crash (but at least it says why).

IDK about total limits- I presume that sounds (unlike Music) are all pre-loaded into RAM.  So theoretically, that could cause issues as well.

Thanks    By the way (sorry of topic) when you mentioned performance issue, do you know how to remove 2GB ram usage limitation?

 

[Nordmann]

Any compatibility issues between this and 1.127?

Any compatibility issues between this and 1.127?

No.

And to the people asking why it doesn't work: Read the readme/first post damnit xD

I suspected as much, but it's always worth asking.

Hopefully it'll get an update soon; battles just aren't the same without it.

 

[Flash Vium]

I think we misunderstood each other. The mod still works with 1.127 there are no problems, just remember to enable mod sound in your module.ini

Don't let the name fool you, it should work for any game.

Hey thanks for that! This will come handy with my Corsair Dominator sticks. I never gave consideration to 32bit apps and RAMM lol

 

[I_am_a_Spoon]

No worries.

Based on info from that program Warband already use >2gb ram option.

Have you tried editing the line in your module.ini that normally says "scan_module_sounds = 0" to 1? It's mentioned in the readme and on the first page as well.
