sged Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ever since I saw the post by B16 and how some enthousiast made the current changes in sound happen in BoB WoV II, things started brewing in my head... Is it possible to do the same with IL-2? I have a degree in soundengineering (studio and life concepts), so I was thinking of using these skills to make it happen... Looking through the folders of IL-2, I found some wav. files, but those are not the ones that "provide" all the sounds ingame... Now my question to our PC buffs is, what code is used, how can I convert the soundfiles needed, what programs used etc.. Knowing that to get the sounds, mix them, work within certain parameters, etc... is one big task, as is putting them into the game is another... Any thoughts, remarks or such?.... I hope this will get a good debate going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Good luck with this Sged. I hope you can VASTLY improve on the sound effects in IL-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted June 26, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 If only it were possible Sadly IIRC IL2 creates the engine sounds on the fly, unlike BoB WoV and FS that uses wav files, and this is in the encrypted files. Movie makers dub the realistic engine sounds over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sged Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 So there's no way to extract these sounds and/or replace them? And I thought using WAV. in games was too massive.... Best way is compressed audio like mp3 or OGG which only needs 1mb the most and still be of quality... I'll continue my search though....maybe I'll give Oleg a ring?
