Well, this is strange but I wasn't really sure if it would work anyway, so here's the problem: I took some DCF sound scripts, and used them to replace some in vanilla I didn't like. Like for the Mp40, I substituted the Mp5 sounds. I went into the DCF objects.con, copied the sound files for the mp5 and put them in the appropriate folder in vanilla42's Objects.con. I renamed the file called mp5.ssc to mp40.ssc as well. I left the High, Medium, and Low.ssc files alone. However, there is now NO sound. All I hear are the reloading sounds and shells hitting the ground, no gunfire. Any ideas why? I thought sound scripts were completely ClientSide, and like skins, could be replaced and seen on any server you joined. Help?

Well, as far as I can tell, changing sound effects can't be done server side since the client is hardcoded to load sound related stuff (and graphics stuff as well) locally.

Also even when done client side this wouldn't work, because you forgot to copy over the actual sound files as well (in the sound.rfa file). You would have to read all the script files and then look for any wav files that are referenced in them and copy them over. Its a long process to do.

But it can't be done at all server side. Sorry.

did you extract the dc sounds? The sound won't play if there's no sound file.

Well see I can't find the files to replace in the 1942 sound.rfa. I got the most of the DC sounds I need although I can't find some of those either.
By the way, the only sound I am really adamant about replacing is the browning sound and the MG42, the DC ones just sound so much better, the others are fine. I guess what I'm saying is, if anyone has any experience with this, could they prepare me a modified sounds.rfa and/or objects.rfa if needed, and attach it here with the sounds I want? I'd really appreciate it.

I have to eat and take care of a couple things, but I'd be happy to take a look and try to post something this evening for sure.

Here you go, try this out...I made a sound patch file (44khz only) with the DC browning/MG42 sounds. There were a couple others, but I think these should be what you're after. I have the file structure set so all you should have to do is put this in your archives folder.

Let me know if that works or doesn't..
