Script commands for every sound (updated for Wrath 3.1)

[Bluspacecow]

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...o.php?id=13194

Basically it's a zip file got a collection of text files in it. 2 of those 2 text files contain /script commands to play most any sound in game. If it was in the MPQ files then there should be a /script command to play it in game !

To use just use a decent text editor to do a Find on either "3_1_sounds.txt" or "wow_sounds_includingwrath_FINAL.txt"

For some reason it doesn't work if you open it in NotePad. Please use something else like Word or Wordpad. If I could figure out a way to save it on my mac so it is in a form you can open in NotePad I would. I'ld also need to upload it from work , as that's the only accessible PC I can get too.

So questions ? Comments ? Advice ?

Macs (and *NIX) save raw ASCII text files with line endings that consist of only line feeds. Windows adds a "carriage return" as well, so if a Windows user opens up a text file in Notepad that just has line feeds, it will display the whole thing as one line. The line feeds are still there, but Windows doesn't see them as sufficient for a line ending (silly, I know).

You can add the carriage returns to your file in a number of ways. My old TiBook isn't running now, but the command I use on my Linux machines to do this is pretty simple:

sed -e 's/$/\r/' inputfilename > outputfilename

You should be able to open up a terminal window and do the same, or you could probably set up a folder action to do it as well for any files that you drop into that folder.

If you anticipate doing this a lot, you would probably want to make the above into a simple script:

#!/bin/sh
sed -e 's/$/\r/' $1 > $2

Then call it from the command line like (I named the script addcr):

addcr inputfilename outputfilename

Hope this helps

Off-topic, but... I always have problems viewing lua files in regular Notepad. WordPad works perfectly, however.

Doesn't work

I pasted the code into a new script and chmod'd the file.

I execute and it truncates each line with a "r" character ????

Hmm, the shell may be using the slashes and escaping the backslash portion of the carriage return. Try changing the sed command to this and see if it works:

sed -e 's:$:\r:' $1 > $2

If it still has issues, you can try adding an extra backslash to the above in front of \r (e.g. \\r). Some shells handle things a bit differently and I can't remember which incarnation of "/bin/sh" is used by Macs these days.

If it helps I'm using bash.

[Verissi]

Ah, then the amended sed line should work just beautifully. I just checked it on my Linux machine and it went swimmingly. You probably should change the /bin/sh reference to /bin/bash (or what ever the path is to bash on your machine) to make sure it's calling bash as the script's interpreter as well.

Absolute worst case, I can whip up a perl script to do the same thing and just PM it over

When you play these sound files, will other players in-game here it?

Complete re-extract and update for 3.1.2

Has baby murloc space marine sounds

This is a preview version as I'm not sure if the carriage returns thingy worked again.

I'll update it to my main page as soon as I know if the carriage returns have worked in Notepad or not....

PS Yes I'll be testing this @ work ....

[Bluspacecow]

Ok tested on Notepad @ work

Now all updated on my page.

As a side note I can now confirm that as of 3.1.2 Blizzard only uses mp3s and wav files for its sounds.

I confirmed this by :

1) Extract all files out of the MPQ files in the Data folder
2) Make a text file of every file in there
3) Suck each line out of there matching a particular file extension , deleting those lines in the original text file
4) Repeat for each file extension found

After doing all this all that was left was the name of the directories and various addon and documentation files.
