Help How to replace existing sound effects with costum ones?

[Ra3shed]

I want to replace sound effects like captured flag sound, with a new one. so I can use playsound() to play the sound at a specific event.
But how?
Also, where should I put the new sound file in my mod folder? Should it be along with the "maps" folder?

All the sounds are located in the .IWD files that are in the "main" folder. Locate the sound file you want to change. In your mod folder, create the same type of folders, and place the new sound file in that place. Rename the new file to the game sound.

An example:
1. I have o_fortuna.mp3 and want it to be the menu theme music.

2. I check the .IWD files, and find the menu theme song to be in sound\music\menumusic.mp3.

3. I then create the folders sound\music in my mods folder.

4. I place o_fortuna.mp3 in that folder, and rename it to menumusic.mp3.


Note that the mod then has to be in an .IWD format in order for this to work.

I don't think that this will easily allow me to play the sound effect at a specific event using the playSound() command. You should probably know that this sound effect is no more than 3 seconds.

I remember playing a mod where the uncommon sound effects of the game is replaced by a custom one, but I can't seem to find it now.

Well, after hours of hard-work
I came to know that I might have used the wrong names for the sound effects
I finally solved this by myself.

If you replace the right file, you will be able to use the playsound command. The names of the sound files and the in-game strings differ, soif you're interested in what these stringsare, you should look that up. @Yamato might've made a list.

And there's plenty of mods that have done that. I think @Nekochan and I were one of the first to do so for MW2, however. Look up our ROTU mod if you want to see how it's done there.

Thanks, that was exactly my problem
Edit: Well I'm too lazy to find the sound strings by myself. Could you find a list for me
