Usefully tools for sound modding

Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/

Read all the guide, specially the notes at the final of this document

First of all, you need activate sound mods on your Settings file

You will go to your game folder and you will enter on enlIsted.config.blk or enlisted.config whit Notepad and find sound lines, like this sample and add this command line in the first line of sound: enableMod:b=yes

In sound folder, create a folder called: mod

Step 1: Download Fmod Bank tools

Step 2: enter on the sound folder

Step 3: copy and paste the files who you want to change their sound in FMOD folders (you can create separated folders for more order, the way you prefer):

Step 4: Click on Extract, you can see the progress of extraction

Now, you can change the audio files

There are Some types of audio files

Body: Player firing sound

E_body: 3rd person firig sound

Loop: sound of a full auto weapon in automode (at this moment only works for certain weapons, butt you better change it if you are going to change the sound of the weapons)

E_Loop: Same as loop, but in 3rd person

Tail: Gun sound after firing

E_tail: same as tail in 3rd person

Loopshot: Same as body in certain weapons

first and shot: (only for few weapons): work like body in first person, it is the sound of your weapon, you can add 2 lines of sound to create more creative sound effects or you can use it like body

E First and E shot: Works like e body, but shorter, use your same E body sound but whit less duration

Now, you can see the name of the weapon who you want change their sound, take your new sound and convert it to wav file (Audacity example):


There are another audio editor software, but audacity its the more stable
, now, replace your sound files

now you replace all audios who you want we are going to rebuild your sound mod file for try it in game

Click replace, and we go back to fmod bank tools, click on rebuild, a cmd windows should will appear


Copy your new bank file and paste it in your sound mod folder in the game

And your sound mod its ready to play

For a quality sound mod there will always be failure and error tests, don’t give up.

Some notes:

-Try to make shorter sounds, if you make unnecessary long you ram can crash

-Use PCM format for gun sounds, use pcm for hangar and in battle songs

-Rifle.bank and mgun dont work whit vorbis format, Use PCM

-Some weapons dont use Loop, just e loop, but change all sounds for a good result

-When the game will update, update your sounds whit the same file but updated, copy and paster your sounds in the updated file

-For death sounds on 1st person change as_player_enlisted_soldier_hit and male1_v_hit (non tested as now for me)

-Tank engines dont work At this moment (maybe in the future we can change their sound), dont touch them

We will work whit files ended in Asset.bank

what means every file:

CMN LOC VO ASSETS: narrators in all languages
