old H2H sounds

[Cross]

Hi Klanx,

Artillery Echo

You are probably taking about sound 2.wav which is an explosion sound for mortars and light artillery. It’s also used for smoke shells. I think you are right that it has too much of an echo. I will put on the list to update in the next release of Cross Sounds.


Oil Can Ricochet

There are 3 ricochet sounds in WinSP.
22.wav
81.wav
82.wav

These are much better than the original WinSP ricochets, which were really annoying, but there is still room for improvement. I think you are probably talking about 81.wav

The WaW ricochets are:
456.wav thru 476.wav

WaW sounds are found in the ‘SND’ folder.


Tank Movement

The main tank movement sound in WinSP is 33.wav, but there are three other tank wavs in Cross Sounds which you may have never heard, because they’re possibly only used by obscure OOB:
32.wav
220.wav
249.wav

The tank movement sounds in WaW are:
72.wav
75.wav
78.wav
81.wav

Changing a Sound

1. Identify the sound in the WinSP ‘SOUNDS’ folder that you want to change. You can use the Cross Sounds Sound Guide to help you find the right sound.

Example: You want to change the main tank sound which is 33.wav
Just double click on 33.wav (in the Sounds folder) and your Windows Media Player should play the sound, to confirm it’s the one you want to change.

2. Rename the sound. This is just to save it, in case you want to change back at some point. ‘Right Click’ on the file then ‘Rename’, which will highlight the file with a blinking cursor, then type the new name and hit ‘Enter’.

Example: Rename 33.wav to something like 33cs.wav

3. Find and copy the new sound you want to use.

Example: Say you want to use sound 220.wav as the new tank movement sound. Highlight the 220.wav file, then ‘Right Click’ then ‘Copy’.

4. Go to Desktop, then ‘Right Click’ and ‘Paste’.

Example: File 220.wav should now appear on your ‘Desktop’.

5. Rename the new file on your ‘desktop’ to the sound you identified in step 1.

Example: Rename 220.wav to 33.wav

6. Move the new file from your desktop to the Sounds folder.

Example: Right Click on the 33.wav file on your desktop, then ‘Cut’ (by cutting instead of copying, you will remove the file from your desktop) then go into the WinSP ‘Sounds’ folder and ‘Right Click’ and ‘Paste’. Windows should NOT ask you if you want to replace the 33.wav because you already renamed the original file.

You’re done.

Now, in your Sounds folder – when sorted by name – you should have 33.wav and 33cs.wav right next to each other.
The game will only use the file named 33.wav. So if you want to go back, just rename the 33.wav to 33b.wav then rename the 33cs.wav to 33.wav and you’re back to the Cross Sounds sound.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions.
