Download Link:
Low Bitrate Version - use this one if you got lag with general version
WHAT'S NEW?
v0.7 - 23 May 2015
i) Many fixes: wrong filenames, missing lines & syntax errors in configuration file, etc.
ii) Now compatible with Mac! See specific note for Mac below please.
iii) Now compatible with FMC Tablet (Android only)! See specific note for FMC Tablet below please.
iv) A Low Bitrate Version is available, dudes who got lag with general version should give it a shot. It's also for storage space sensitive devices like Tablet, it just 250MB extracted versus general version around 540MB.
v0.6 - 28 Feb 2015
Combined with Bart's modded commentary files (reduce overlaps) & DazS8's realistic sound patch.
v0.5 - 13 Feb 2015
Initial version for FM15. Direct ported from MBarbaric's FM12-14 version, almost nothing changed.
INSTALLATION
0) Exit FM/FMC Completely
1) Backup Original Game Files (Events & Sounds)
Backup these two folders:
On Windows (In "Program Files" or somewhere else picked while STEAM install):
On Mac:
On Android:
If something goes wrong we can cover them back.
2) Apply Audio Commentary Patch
Extract the patch to a temporary path, like Desktop or something.
Mac users please use files in "for_mac" subfolder, and Windows/Android users use files in "for_windows_&_android" subfolder.
First, copy its
\events\
as
(Windows)
(Mac)
(Android)
Second, copy its
\sounds\default\
as
(Windows)
(Mac)
(Android)
OS will ask to overwrite some files, click OK/YES to confirm, we have backup those in previous step so nothing to worry about.
That's all. According to my test no need to touch event files in update folder (\data\updates\update-1532\events\), let them be.
3) Delete Game Cache Folder (Android Users Only)
FMC Tablet version doesn't come with an option to clear cache in-game, so we have to do it outside the game.
Simply delete this folder:
If you got lots of custom graphic resources and don't wanna clear cache ('cos next loading time would be extreme long I know) , you may use audio commentary patch without clear cache, just can't guarantee it works fine or not.
4) In-Game Testing
Start FM/FMC, make sure that "Use sound in match" is ticked and "Volume" slide is high enough in "Preferences" - "Match" Tab.
(For Windows and Mac users) And next, VERY IMPORTANT, do "Clear Cache" & "Reload Skin" in "Preferences" - "Interface" Tab.
Jump into matches and enjoy! Please know that commentaries won't appear immediately, need about half minute for buffering.
5) Highlight Modes
Normally all highlight modes (except "Only Commentary" ) are fine for audio commentary, but some folks said "Key" mode is not that good for it, very few commentaries heard in "Key" mode.
6) Known Issue
Sometimes two or three commentaries come out together and mix into chaos. But since version 0.6 the modified sound pack by Bart is integrated, so this multiple commentaries weird thing should be reduced.
7) Specific Note for Mac
Audio commentary for Mac is actually a "Lite Version", the variety of commentary may a bit less than Windows/Android version.
Why's that? Because Mac version of FM15 is flaky, only accept events before line 1024 in "match_sounds.cfg", so this file must less than 1024 lines anyway. I have to solve it with a funky way, rip events file down from around 2800 effective lines to exact 1023 lines. As result events for Mac are the same to other platforms, but variety of most events are reduced.
Besides above, Mac version is same as Windows/Android version.
8) Specific Note for Android
Well, here's a recommended game option for Android users but you may not like it.
Recommend set show replays to "None", otherwise has a big choice to lose commentary even all sounds after replay. If you don't wanna play without replays, increase replay speed in preferences should help but still has choice got commentary lost after replay.
And yet another Android specific issue, match may get muted in extra time & penalty shoot-out. Have no idea why.
9) Other Platforms?
Linux - I am a "Linux Guy" really, but just use Linux boxes as SERVERS. Theoretically this patch should works on FM15/Linux, but I didn't check.
iOS - Have no iPad myself. As I know, iOS does not allow user to touch its actual file system, so seems this patch won't work on it.

But there must be something we could do with the "mix into chaos" (the two or three commentaries problem)
zzpiggy
Some events happen too close cause this issue. One follow another almost no time gap between them, like shooting & goal.
I consider to make a "Lite" version to solve this problem, by reduce sound events and re-order some of them.
But it needs time, several days I hope.

Great job mate!
I got your modded files days before, but till today I don't have time to test and integrate.
Now it's done! I have integrated your sound files and DazS8's Realistic Sound Patch in version 0.6.
Thank you mates, you and DazS8. And I hope you enjoy it.

What WinRAR version are you using? WinRAR supports 7z from quite long time ago, usually can just use WinRAR to extract *.7z files.
If your WinRAR version is too old to deal with 7z, use 7-zip then:
http://www.7-zip.org/
It's free.
DazS8
Commentary and all the best sounds/fan reactions etc from the sound patch.
Top notch work...a must download folks.
You will love it
zzpiggy
Glad you like it, mate!
Cheers,

Do i need to copy paste the all "Audio_Commentary_Patch_FM2015_v0_6" folder or do it individually for each folder that is inside?
zzpiggy
Basically, installation is just copy the sub-folder named "data" inside "Audio_Commentary_Patch_FM2015_v0_6" to
\steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\
means to merger with the "data" sub-folder of FM15. Backup before do this merger, like installation instruction said.
zzpiggy
I guess because there's no "Audio" discussion section at susie, and technically this ain't no "Graphics Patch" but "Audio Patch", lol

540mb is extracted size, to your game folder. But while the package is combined with Windows version and Mac version, so it is bigger.

Here you go mate:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ay7xevgp67nnvk8/
You didn't say then I assume you'are using Windows. Above link is a version for Windows/Android only, won't work on Mac. Download size is reduced to about 400 MB. Files compressed by 7-zip, can extract by most compression/decompression soft like WinRAR, etc.

Thank You!!!
By the way, anyway to get the commentator speak out player names?(Did not see any such sound files)
zzpiggy
Impossible mate at least for now, but the idea is cool.
