@ Zerofreeze: I am unable to download it. Please post the vid on youtube, it is very easy to do and it can be used to help others as well. @ EduardKoeleJuck: Is your .rpf set to read only? Did you change the name of the ivaud? Are you clicking the blue disc in sparkiv? Are you able to successfully install any sound mods? If you hear the original sounds in the game then your problem is likely in your installation procedure.

actually the video is 290 mb and when i convert it smaller its 70 mb atleast

Fixed

@ Zerofreeze: So far I'm at 3:07 of your vid and i've found two things wrong.

At 1:49 you enter in the search field of the ivaud the first cubes of data FROM the ivaud. This is wrong. You should enter the first cubes of data in the ivaud, but from the orig sound file. Think about what you're actually doing; you are searching for the sound within the ivaud archive, using the search function

At ~ 3:00 you read step 12 which says to click on ADDRESS 2B. At 3:07 you use the search function to locate the hex string "2B" which puts you at address 174 I think ( its very blurry ). You need to click on ADDRESS 2B. You'll know when you're there because the address will be displayed in the bottom left corner of XVI32.

I haven't finished the vid yet, but I suspect that these two things are your biggest problems. If I find anything else wrong I'll edit this post.

EDIT: Once you correct the problems above, go back to the fiirst post in this thread. I have edited two things in the tutorial, both of which pertain to you. You only need to follow the instructions in the tutorial. If it were necessary to save and close and reopen the ivaud in another program and change every byte to the bottom of the file to zeros it would say that in the tutorial, but I understand the confusion which was caused by the first two mistakes. It should be more obvious what I mean once you correct them.

It could be that the file does not have many blocks thats why use a smaller wav file

What do you mean? its almost on the same size of the original sound file. It worked for me once, but it didnt work, i tried again and than this whole thing began. I tried again, recorded again, edited again and still...

@Astrixone: That error means that you are asking to highlight more blocks then there are.

1) Make sure that you are using the address of the second to last block, not the last block.

2) Make sure that you scroll all the way to the top so that the first block is highlighted before you type in the address.

I might sound stupid but only because my english is not the best.
Second to last = One block before the last block or Two blocks before the last block?

[arbitrarymobster]

@Zerofreeze: That's not true, I modded STREAMED_VEHICLES.rpf

@Astrixone: One block before the last.

@Astrixone: You'll have to post a video on youtube for me to be able to help you.

@Heier da slayer: Since you are the first person to have trouble with step 12 you'll have to tell me what part you are stuck on; or better yet, finish the following story:

"I start step 12 by clicking search -> find. In the window that pops up I........................"

Yeah i forgot streamed_vehicles but why is that why can we only mod 2 rpf files not others such as loading.rpf

hi again i got it to work! but there seems to be some kind of bug.. when im trying to import the 6th sound file that should go into an engine sound file, (your DUKES mod file) it dont find your REV_UP original dukes file?!

just says "cannot find string" when first trying to search for the first 5 bytes of the file.. isnt that a little strange? any suggestions what to do maybe really appreciate help

[arbitrarymobster]

@Zerofreeze: I've never tried other .rpf's so I don't know that they can't be modded.

@Heier da slayer: It's not really ethical to mod other people's work without their permission. Why mod my work and not the original sounds, unless you intend to steal my work? You may find it easier to mod the original sounds anyway.

oh arbitrarymobster, sorry for not making this clear. i dont "mod" your files/sounds, its just that i thought your .ivaud was the original file from beginning, so it was after them i rezized all my own sound clips into the same size as your sound files. i mean, it could have taken and overwrite the original .ivaud, because its the same size. so i dont really stole your file.. but i will give you cred for teaching

and to my old problem, i solved it. seems like one sound file was damaged and had to re-export it so it all worked in the end. im now finnished with my engine sound, i can also give you link here so you can see for yourself
http://www.sendspace.com/file/s9hmvl

its the Ferrari F355 engine sound. i might upload vid on youtube later today, or tomorrow.
so THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help!

[arbitrarymobster]

@Heier da slayer: Awesome, I can't wait for the vid. I will keep checking here for a link to it.
