Methais
10-22-2008, 04:04 PM
Over the past 12 years I've added ridiculous amounts of sounds from my sound collection to GS for various things that happen in game.
After several years of procrastination, I decided to zip up all my sound files and upload them, along with the Methais.his file, which is the file that holds the configuration data for the "strings" tab on the Wizard FE, which is where you put in your text strings and assign a sound to that event. Basically this is the file that the sound setup is stored in.

(I'm left handed that's why you might notice I have my left and right hand boxes swapped on the Wizard.)
If you're wondering why it's not in the SOUNDS tab, it's because that tab didn't exist when I first started adding sounds, as well as the fact that you can't highlight any of the text strings in the SOUNDS tab (and I like to highlight, as you'll see), plus I'd rather just keep all the configurations in one file to keep things simple.
This is for Wizard FE, but I'm 99% sure it can all be imported to StormFront too. I've done it before I just don't remember how because I haven't used SF in forever.
The zip file contains all my .wav files, plus the Methais.his file. Simply rename Methais.his to whatever your character's name is, and you'll be good to go. You'll probably want to back up your old one in case you want to go back to it, as the highlights will probably throw some people off.
I have a bunch of character name highlights saved in the STRINGS tab as well, because back in the day, the NAMES tab filled up fast and I ran out of room. They've made it bigger since then, but I was too lazy to go move the character names from the STRINGS tab back to the NAMES tab, so if you like the setup but there's some character highlights you don't like, I'm afraid you'll just have to go down the list and delete them manually.
The file is roughly 42 MB. A lot of the sound strings will only trigger from a wizard's perspective, due to the wording of some stuff (i.e. if you're a wizard and casting mana leech, it'll trigger a sound but if you see another wizard casting it, it won't trigger due to the difference in wording from first and third person perspectives).
Not all the sounds in the folder are used in GS, but most of them are win anyway.
If you don't know how to link your sound folder to the Wizard, click CONFIGURATION -> OPTIONS -> then click the PATHS tab. Click LOCATE on the SOUNDS PATH line, and browse to the folder where you unzipped the sound files to, and that's it. Like this:
