SC Free Sounds

[Heimdal]

I know there have been a lot of questions about this, and various tutorials with varying degrees of reliability.

I've known how to do this for a long time, but I held back on telling people about it because it was going to be one of the impressive features of StarForge and I didn't want to steal its thunder.

In any case, I've decided that since StarForge is taking so long to get finished, I'll release a program I made several months ago for adding "free sounds" to starcraft maps. At the same time, I will open up to the public the new Team StarEdit site, which is also the future home of StarForge. We have a forum, but I doubt it will ever match the population of this one. Mostly it will be used for bug reports, comments and suggestions for my programs.

Without further ado, I give you Team StarEdit!

The Free Sounds program is on the editors page. Be sure to click the 'help' button and read instructions carefully, especially on the first time running the program, because it will be setting registry options. Enjoy!

There should be a "help" or "about" button somewhere in the program.

In the Team StarEdit website, there should required files avaliable for download below the Free Sound program. Put these in your system folder. If you have a mac, I don't know where you should put them.

I don't see how you all could have this much trouble...but here are some more detailed instructions.

Download the SC Free Sounds zip from my website. Unzip it somewhere and try to run it. If you get an error when it starts up about any .OCX file missing, then go back to the editors page on my website and download the common controls zip. Unzip all files in that to your windows\system directory. Now the free sounds program should run.

The first time the program runs, it will ask you what your CD drive letters are (in most cases, D and E) and where your starcraft install directory is. If you enter incorrect information here, the program will not run correctly. To fix this problem, go to start -> run and type in "regedit" (no quotes) and hit enter. Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> VB and VBA Program Settings and delete the entire SE Team folder. Now, when you run the program again it will ask you the questions again.

Once you have the program running correctly, you can click the help button in the lower right of the main window, and it will explain how to add free sounds to your map.

:rofl2

 

[irunthemile]

lol bolt
how does this program work? i wonder, heimdal owns SC i have come to realize

 

[Heimdal]

Damn straight. Actually, I'm currently deferring to suicidal insanity, at least until I can make a terrain engine that runs at 400 fps. I'm getting closer though. But that's neither here nor there. Anyone need further help with the free sounds program?

 

[irunthemile]

i think i got it, but i need to find a map to use it on...

Go for it IRunTheMile!
