Question> Sound

Hi, I’m a really big noob if it comes to the Q3 engine, okay, I can map very little, but heck
I found my RtCW disk, and I loved the sounds. So I copy/paste the sounds, then unpack my pak0.pk3 from ET, for using the RtCW sounds for ET, get it?
I replace every sound I want, create a new pk3 file (zupertcwsounds.pk3 named), put sounds/weapons/etc. in it, and I still get the original ET sounds. Help, please, I love the original sounds!!!
Thanks

lemme see here… you want to use the original RTCW sounds for ET… right??

but its not working… hmmm… well first of all the files are set up differently

second, if you trying to play online with it… you cant. Either the admin or the server host has to have the exact same file that you do

but there is a file that converts the RTCW sounds to ET and most likely have a 100% better chance of playing with these sounds then your own pk3.

theres the file… also if your making a pk3 file, for some reason ET wont read it unless if it has a letter in front of the name
EX: s_my_pack.pk3

but not just any letter… i learned that its only letters P - Z

Just be glad its not working, cause its illegal to use any sounds from RTCW

well… theres a sound pack on it for ET…

Why is it illegal if I want to use it for my own? I don’t think that’s against the law. Anyhow, what I did exactly:
Unpack pak0.pk3
Remove every folder except for sound/weapons/…
Copy/paste the RTCW sounds
Remove sounds from ET
Rename RTCW sounds to make it work for ET
Pack /sound/
Save it as zupertcwsounds.pk3 using WinRAR with ZIP compression

Could I replace the sounds in the pak0.pk3 file? Or will I have to sit down and cry for not being able to join the server :blah: ?
