#357937 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
I know vuvuzelas can be annoying but once I found the file I thought "well, this might be different"
Great, take your time and once you have it I will just follow the instructions to make it work. If its okay with you, I will be looking for some more files and then this can be updated.
Thank you and cheers for this.

There you go
Chants
I collected 22 files, few of them around 40 seconds. I don't have a clue if this is enough or too much. This is awesome !!! Cheers
Don't tell me you are also that ease messing with the xml files in the panels folder ? These guys - SI - are keeping opposition players roles and duties in the dark, as well opposition team mentality and team shape. Something about a debug code inside the panels that turns this information invisible.

The filenames I'm using will help with that because it will say clap or boo or cheer, things like these, this way I think it will help you to link them to specific events
Awesome, give me a few hours to look into the chants a bit more and then I will post the link here.
#357903 Any way to mod/customise sounds?

Well, I'm finding quite difficult to find a website that as content like fanchants, so until now I was only able to download 7. The one I link before has quite a few but they all have 40 seconds or more. You really don't mind spliting the file ?
I'll just pack the files with rar and upload to mediafire and then I'll send you the link
#357897 Any way to mod/customise sounds?

Okay, so for each human team a different version of match_sound.cfg. I understand now SI has not focus on this, it would be necessary to have one match_sound.cfg for each team in FM, unless it was possible to write some code or algorithm to activate the specific team sounds once the user choose his team. What an Hercules piece of work Nevertheless, you make it sound very easy.
I think I will not be downloading specific team chants, at least none that might have words associated to a club, because I like to pick more than one team. How many files can I sent you ?
#357890 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
Right now I'm making a few searches and downloading files in wav, just generic crowd applause or boo.
So, lets say you are in FM managing two teams in the same save and you have a pack of sounds for team A, but none for your team B. Is it possible to have those chants when your team A is playing, but not when your team B plays ?
#357885 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
Ok then I will try to focus on files with less than 13 seconds, at least you won't have the trouble of splitting the file.
The website I sent you has files already in wav format but it seems they are 40, 50 seconds and more, its too much. I'll try others, shorter, make a zip pack of them and upload it and give you the link.

And fanchants has intellectual property rights, so they are not to be use, right ? Bad, its a great website, lots of content that could be used. I'm now at Your text to link here... looking for some sounds.
Is there a limite in terms of seconds ? What would be better to work with ? a file with 5 seconds ? more ?
#357878 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
If you have steam you can find me as michael andrews.
What I was able to understand in recent years was that people would add the new sound to the sound folder (after converted to wav), and then created / add / link that sound to a new event or an existing event (one event simultaneous sounds linked, I suppose) but then in a match the new sound was never there. I remember something about setting priorities between sounds for the same event, so I think, over the years, this has been the problem.
Meanwhile, I will get some new sound content.
#357864 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
The only issue I'm thinking is that me and xml files and writing code its exactly the same to give a pencil to a chimp I thought the guide could very helpful for other people who knows how to mess with those files but lack the skills how to edit mp3. So, if your schedule has a few holes what I would suggest is that you write the guide to share it all around and meanwhile I could search and get portuguese general chants or even in some la-la chants from any nationality supporters or people reactions when a player misses a goal, things like this. This way I make myself useful reserach and collect content and you could do your specialized part converting the files and updating the match-events xml
Is this asking too much ?
#357847 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
Well, for me and my community wouldn't be exactly England, it would more about Portugal
I have to say this is absolutely great, someone with the will and skills to build something. Thank you in advance Tommy !
Wouldn't it be easier to focus on general chants that could be added to the sounds folder and rewrite the match_events file with these, in order for all FM communities around the world could enjoy ? I know a lot of people plays FM with no sound, but I believe the original its just not worthy. An improved sound would be quite different
#357828 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
Thank you for all those explanations
For now I'm using the Audio Commentary Patch made, I think, back in 2011 or 2012. Year after year keeps on working, sounds improve a lot comparing to the original FM sounds, although this year the audio commentary is not working, at least with me. As for team chants, I don't think it would work for the reasons you explained, but general chants I think would enrich the game, more sound variety, more enjoyable the game turns, more surrounding atmosphere. This is the part that I think it would turn out very interesting to the FM community, if you'd only accept the challenge of a greater sounds folder and a richer match_events file with general chants. Or, at least, a step-by-step guide how to introduce new chants.
#357493 Any way to mod/customise sounds?
Miguel Alves
This is for sure one of the most tricky issues to improve in FM.
In previous there has been the Audio Commentary Patch, with a few improved sounds and crowd reaction and also audio commentary. For FM17, at least until now, nothing has came out. Wouldn't you be willing to make it work for FM17 ?
As for the website you mentioned, with all those team chants, a few people tried in previous FM editions to make those files compatible with FM, but no success achieved Still, you seem to have the skills to present the community with something. The Audio Commentary Patch would be a start, don't you agree ? (please, do agree).
cheers

Just downloaded the version 6 update, moved the files to the folder where I have all the other faces, went to Preferences, cleaned cache and restarted the skin Still not showing Facundo Cardozo's face. Going to do the same with verson 5, although I'mp pretty sure I have previously done so.
My bad guys, it was at the update 5. Thanks, do you need me to erase my request ?

#124388 Problem with skins
Miguel Alves
I thought that the panels folder located in c:\my documents\sports interactive\football manager 2014\ might be producing some kind of conflict with the folder located inside the skins, so I removed it but it didn't work out.
Anyone has any idea about what can be the problem ????
