How do I add my own custom sounds?
WARNING: SOUND FILES MUST EXIST IN THE TARGET LOCATION BEFORE WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS STARTED.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PLACE YOUR CUSTOM SOUND FILES IN THE MikScrollingBattleText\Sounds DIRECTORY TO AVOID ISSUES.



There are a couple of methods that can be used to add custom sounds:
  • The first, and preferred method, is to use MSBT's new in-game media editor available under the custom media tab. If you follow the recommended guideline of placing your custom sound files in the MikScrollingBattleText\Sounds directory, all you need to enter for the sound path in the in-game media editor is the name of the sound file. The acceptable sound file type is .ogg.

    For example, assume you have an ogg sound file "MyUberSound.ogg" you want to use.

    1. Copy the "MyUberSound.ogg" sound file into the MikScrollingBattleText\Sounds directory before you start the game.
    2. Load the game and access MSBT's custom media tab.
    3. Click the Add Sound button.
    4. Enter the name you want the sound to be called in game such as "My Custom Sound" without the quotes.
    5. Enter "MyUberSound.ogg" without the quotes for the sound path.
    6. Click the Okay button and the new sound will be available.

  • The second method is aimed more at mod developers. You can call the MikSBT.RegisterSound function to register a custom sound. See the included API.html file for reference information.
