Descr_sounds_interface problem...

[Skull]

I have tryed changing the metal sound that plays when you order your unit to attack a enemy,however,in the game,it doesen't play,and I get no error message when I exit.
And yes,I checked,the files are there.

Anyone else ever encountered a similar problem?

[comrade_general]

It's probably something to do with the file path, but I'm not sure what to change it to.

Also, what file type are the sounds you're trying to use?

[Skull]

Hmm...You are probably right...
I will try with just data/sounds...maybe it is kinda like in descr banners?

It's MP3

[Skull]

I tried it,still doesn't work...

[comrade_general]

I was thinking of making the path even more specific.

[Skull]

What do you mean 

[comrade_general]

Oh I know - try putting .mp3 on the end of those file names.

[debux]

Yeah, as CG says, it should be that you forgot to add the extension. I made a music mod maybe a year ago and I think I had the same problem. It should work with that.

[Skull]

Hmm...OK,I' try,but I think that the original files don't have the extension either...

Still nothing...

And yes,I tried without the Black_Knights prefix...

[comrade_general]

Then it must be something with the file path, but I still think the .mp3 should be there regardless.

[debux]

This might sound really silly, but try using a simple name, like "egg.mp3"... although I expect the same results, to be honest. Otherwise, I'm kinda stumped, I mean, if the target actually points to where the file is, it should work. Have you known of someone that has tried to do something similar?

Or in the other hand, rename your mp3 file with the original name of the sound that you want to replace, and then simply replace your file with the vanilla one. That should work for sure.
