First pass at creating user sounds.
Step one.
Download FMOD Studio Authoring Tool
http://www.fmod.org/download/Step 2
Download the attached zip file and unzip it into your Hitech Creations\Aces High Beta Game\CustomSounds folder
Step 3.
Start FMOD Studio and open the file
CustomSounds\FmodProjects\CustomSounds\CustomSounds.fspr
Next in FMOD Studio menu item Edit/Preferences
Select the Build tab and ensure you are pointed at your Hitech Creations\Aces High Beta Game\CustomSounds folder
Step 4. In FMOD Select File/Build
If all went correctly there now should be a folder Hitech Creations\Aces High Beta Game\CustomSounds\Desktop
and when you start AH you should here something different beside the title music.
Do to the way fmod works you can NOT change any of the buss & group structure.
We also have include our complete fmod project under CustomSounds\FmodProjects\HTCEvents
We have only include the complete structure , do to copywrite issues we can not ship any of the raw sound files.
NEVER modify the HTCEvents project and try use it,
You can copy from the HTCEvents project and Past in your CustomSound project to get basic events structures and varables.
If you wish to disable your custom sounds, simple rename or delete the CustomSound\Desktop folder. Building the project will recreat this folder.
___________________
After you have successfully run the installation test you can delete the default/title0 or change the sound file of the event to any sound or mp3 you have.
It will always be best to start with a new effect by copying one from the HTCEvent project.
All events must be assigned to the correct group for the environmental changes we do.
Plane Overides.
If you wish to do custom engines on a single plane you simple make the xxx/interal event in a folder of the plane name.
As example if you wish to modify the p51b sound you would create a folder called p51b at the same level as the default folder.
Then put your custom events in there instead of the default folder.
fi156 m3 tiger2 and sdk251 are examples of this in the HTCEvents project.
FMOD as been starting to work on a system meant directly for user created content, I think we are the first to try let users create it.
ALSO REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST ASSIGN YOUR EVENT TO THE CORRECT BANK.
