Making p85 vehicles use chammys sound FX?

[TristanYockell 0]

Hey guys,

I am trying to get P85's tanks cannons to use chammys sound effects because I cant stand BIS sound effects, they are horrid.

Sadly I for the life of me cant seem to figure out how to go about doing this properly.

I try telling the individual tank weapons in the p85 weapons config file what pbo to go to and the file name but it does not work. for example \TankSFX\T64_fire.wss

I have even tried replacing the sounds in the actual ARMA 2 Sounds file in Addons "made backup of course". That didnt even work. Its like no matter what I do, the tanks always use the vanilla 120gun and 125gun sound files.

How should I go about this, im really quite noobish at modding ARMA and it is driving me insane.

u should rewrite tank' config

already after will take permissions from vilas and cammy as owners)

The only place anywhere within the P85.pbo's where I can find anything to do with sound file config for weapons is in P85_Config.pbo, in H folder, and then Cfgweapons.hpp.

Inside Cfgweapons.hpp there are the different weapons and cannoncores ect.

I change the location of the sound file I wish it to use in the cannoncores.

Instead of it being \CA\data\weapons\120gun

Id instead make it \SoundmodPBOname\100mm_fire.wss or something along that line.

Whatever soundmods released that have sounds I like ect.

But it never works, there is nowhere else in the P85 configs anywhere, that have to do with weapon sounds, yet when I change the only relevant info, it still does not work.

It will always use vanilla BIS 120gun or 125gun sounds.

check requiredAddons[] string

always should be parent' class for modified weapons

yes, you need to retag path to file in :

P85_Config > H> cfg_weapons.hpp > begin1={/ca/weapons/...} or Sound=....

class p85_125_D81M : CannonCore {

scope = 1;

displayName = "125mm 2A46M";

sound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\gun125", 31.6228, 1};

reloadSound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\gun125reload", 1.0, 1};

etc. etc. etc.

changed to

class p85_125_D81M : CannonCore {

scope = 1;

displayName = "125mm 2A46M";

sound[] = {"\your_soundmodPBOfile\gun125.extension", 31.6228, 1};

reloadSound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\gun125reload", 1.0, 1};

etc. etc. etc.

please note that not always other WSS work, sometimes i had to use WAV

like there:

sound[] = {"\p85_v\sound\mg3.wav", 12, 1};

if you wanna add your own sounds , you can do your own sound file (engines, fire etc.)

please use newest config version, fixed few days ago by Dmitri Harkov

for the moment i don't have time for updating, but you can also even release it, but please use latest config to avoid any other errors

the things that will be updating further in P85 will be:

- older type of backpack on German soldier

- updated ONLY models and textures of weapons (AK, RPK)

- updated shaders on tanks (Arma2 shaders)

so you can even release it, but please use latest config fixed by Dmitri to avoid using older version :]

all config for P85 is in one file, so you don't have to look for configs in another files

all sounds for weapons are in cfg_weapons.hpp

I'm just posting this in both of the sound editing threads that I was posting in.

I'm not really sure what to put as P85's Class for this sound mod config file:

This pbo is to make P85 tanks use Chammys sound mod, it should work, but it does not.

I have it for download here, only 4kb in size:

If someone knowledgeable could take a peak at it, that would be more than appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Well, it seems the sounds are hardcoded with P85 vehicles "not literally", but it has proven impossible for me to get them to use alternate sounds of any sort. wss or wav or ogg, and does not matter location either. They will always and only use BIS sounds.

I have run out of ideas, now excuse me while I go bash my head against a wall lol.
