Any info on where to start?

Recommended Posts

Yes, yet again I want to create new sounds to replace the ones in ArmA3. Does anyone have any info on where I can start and what tools? I asked the pros and they dont seem to want to help me or at least give me a head start in the right direction hmm.

That would depend on how you want to do it. Do you want simply replace the default sounds with new ones? Or do you want to make a mod similar to JSRS that has dynamic sound based on your distance. Or do you want to record your own? If you want to make your own, you could get Audacity (A free audio recorder and editor) and a good microphone.

Well yeah I want to replace them. i also have my own. I've got a modular one I made for ArmA2 (not quite done) but I understand that the sounds in ArmA3 are stereo whilst ArmA2 is mono. I think doing a full fledge for ArmA3 would be a bit complicated

Good to see back again Chammy ! Shine on Brother :cool:

If your looking for a good example to base your work off of, have a look at Speed of Sound Mod or the Latest JSRS release. These guys are using custom configs along with their custom work to supersede the default sounds in the game. Very ingenious, and not that complicated to do.

I have based the work I'm doing for my MOD, Project Genesis on both of the config structures in the Mods mentioned above.

Quick tip: .wss = 16 bit mono. .ogg=32 bit stereo. I use wss cod and dec as well as Golwave for wave to Ogg.

If I can be of further help to you just shoot me a PM.:p

Yes, your help is very needed if you can help me get started heh. So there isn't a template to use? Only another mod to base it off of as a template? Right now I am in the middle of changing my computer CPU, which means I will be swapping the motherboard also ugh, a pain. so I'm trying to hurry to get CSM3 released for ArmA2

Should I ask them if I can use their mod as a quick template?

Chammy, I tried to Skype you but the connection kept getting dropped.

To answer your question, I have not asked to used the config templates simply because they are already property of BIS.

Your going to change what JRSRS and Speed of Sound have done to the point that it will not resemble what those guys have already done. You are going basically make the config work your own.

Start with depboing speed of sound pbos to get an idea on how the configs are setup. If your going to add additional sounds like Silenced gunshots or Foley sounds you will have to add to the config you wish to change. Doing this will require some detective work on your part.

If you want to know how the config inheritance system works start with Six Config Browser ( Google it).

Pm me if you have any more questions. Have a great week.

Swtx
