Delete Audio files?

(scav_engr) #1

HI, the pro voice audio on ET is great, both teams. Wondered about something though, this may not be a good idea to implement though. I’ve ‘unzipped’ the pak0 file before to ‘see’ what was inside. From there I looked at the images and played the sound files, etc. Question is this-

Say when I’m on Allies and when I want to say ‘thanks’, because of the couple of ‘thanks’ triggered sound files- ‘thanks’, ‘thank you’, or for ‘your welcome’ there’s ‘your welcome’ and 'no problem. Ok, what if I just wanted ‘thanks’, and ‘no problem’ but didn’t want the other two? Could someone just find and delete those .wav files in the .pak, and would et look for the rotation, not find those wav files, and go onto what wav files were left? Would this cause big problems?

Another idea to make this happen just came up while I was typing this post, and it could be- find those files, ‘copy’ the ‘thanks’ file and rename it to the ‘thank you’ filename and thus- any ‘thanks’ would always be ‘thanks’ and never the ‘thank you.’

Maybe a crazy idea here, but sometimes I just don’t feel ‘touchy feely’ enough to say- ‘thank you’, when ‘thanks’ and ‘no problem’ is good enough.

thanks,

sc

(edit- I thought I was posting to ‘general’ forum, and see it’s in the mod section. Maybe it’s more appropriate in this forum, if not, idea was for general forum- sry.)

You cannot change the existing .pk3 files without causing all kinds of problems. In any case, changing the sounds on your computer would have no effect on what other people hear. Which sound is used is random on the client. If you play on a LAN and say “thanks” on your computer, it may come out as “No Problem” on someone elses.

If you play on etpro servers, you can make binds that use a specific vsay.

Thanks for the reply, figured what I was settting out to do would affect all kinds of stuff. Would I like to specify that rotation order of those wav files firing off? Yeah. the specfic vsay’s is an option I hadn’t considered, I run the combo scenario- (in my setup- ALT+(letter character)) and hadn’t hard coded vsays yet, but knew about 'em. The ALT brings up the menu’s and then like- ALT+G+C = 'Cheer!" etc. Vsay’s coded limit this, but only use half of them in menu’s overall anyway. See where this is more in depth, appreciate the reply.
