Custom Sounds

[main goblet]

This mod lets you replace the game's default sounds with your own .wav files. It's a simple way to edit any of the game's audio.
(Yes, it's as simple as it sounds thanks to LC Sound Tool)

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Clementinise/CustomSounds/

[main goblet]

I'm tinkering with the terminal The next update will make adding custom sounds much easier without needing to restart the game every time

[main goblet]

The update will be released soon

[main goblet]

A better BonkHitSFX !
Just Drag&Drop those in the CustomSounds folder, no need for another plugin...
(Proper reverb & shorten)

[upbeat patio]

could you whack this on Github so i can make pull requets to it as i could be able to help you find more sound locations

oh wait whut nvm it like fully replaces the audio ok thats cool

[dark mortar]

how to know name the .wav ingame like Ladder sfx, Eyelesdog atk sfx, etc

[main goblet]

Follow this guide

Step 2 specifically

[dark mortar]

Thanks, I found a bug, when the Courier Ship arrives the custom music is turned on. but if the Courier Ship comes again the second time the music dies *(IcecreamTruckV2 / Far )

I've tried reloading using the terminal but still no sound, the only solution is to restart the game

[main goblet]

Oh you're right, first time I see that!

Sorry took longer to answer due to GTA 6 trailer you know ^^'

@lucid wagon, do you think the issue comes from the way you patch playOnAwake clip? I've been able to replicate this issue, but I've noticed that it can be fixed when going back into space and going back on a moon, which restart the setup on compatible playOnAwake AudioSources

[lucid wagon]

does it log the playback at all the second time?

it could be somehow MAYBE caused by my way to circumvent the default playOnAwake.

as when the scene loads I just get all sources with playOnAwake, disable the Unity flag and instead put a custom component on them that just uses the standard Play() method on its Awake function instead, cuz the vanilla Unity playOnAwake uses some internal method for the playback and I can not touch it with a harmony patch

I guess the Awake method of a monobehaviour doesn't run in the case the object is just disabled and enabled again like the drop ship

I'll take a look at that tomorrow

[main goblet]

Nope, only the first time
Also do you remember when last time I told you the name for IcecreamTruckV2 wasn't displaying? Well that only happen when you replace said Audioclip

Also whats weird is that even IcecreamTruckFar doesn't log the second time, but I guess it's because they are "link" to the same object (pardon my lack of knowledge on this one 😅)

[lucid wagon]

yeah in that case it most definitely is because I am using a standard monobehaviour Awake method which runs only once when the scene is loaded instead of the default playOnAwake which fires every time the object is set active.

[broken fjord]

is there something special about Scream1 for the jester? i can't seem to play the audio file that i have set for it

[main goblet]

I don't think so? Check this guide, the guy also replace Scream1 so it should work for you too! https://discord.com/channels/1169792572382773318/1180532024323362916

[main goblet]

A new update is on the way to synchronize custom audios from the host to all clients
But in the meantime, enjoy this horn

[broken fjord]

nvm i figured it out
accidentally had some silence for like 40 seconds at the beginning of my sound

[broken fjord]

man i wish jester had a set timer instead of randomized, would be nice for syncing songs

[warped jewel]

Any chance you could add a "random" option? I'd like to make alternatives rather than always play the same sound
Maybe you could hook it up to the file names, like "(sound name)-90.wav" would play that sound 90% of the time

[main goblet]

You would need to adress this question to @lucid wagon, as my plugin is simply designed to facilitate the loading of custom sounds into the game 😅

[main goblet]

Host:

Other clients:

[lucid wagon]

I can possibly take a look at this functionality when I next work on my mod.

[lucid wagon]

@main goblet just updated my mod and added that random sound support, you might need to check yours to see if it let's the sounds with -chance eg. -80 at the end load.

[warped jewel]

Keep in mind the "step" sounds use underscore, so maybe use another separator

[lucid wagon]

it should look for the last underscore with number after it but I might need to make sure the steps arent accidental used for random ones yeah

edit: updated to use - instead of _ now

[main goblet]

Oh yeah it might not correctly replaced the sounds now 😅 I was about to head to bed but I will see if I can update my mod quickly before

[warped jewel]

Ping me when you have it updated

[quartz cedar]

@main goblet Hey! Have you released the Soulja boy sounds from your preview video by any chance?🤣 funniest one I've seen put in yet

Found it! Sorry for the ping, I had to find it😂 comedic gold

[main goblet]

Update released

[warped jewel]

Right now there's no way to have multiple sounds with the same random chance (cant have two files with the same name), so can you make the "nickname" for a sound act as a separator of sorts?
Something like:
"Sound"-variation1-30.wav
"Sound"-variation2-30.wav
"Sound"-variation3-30.wav
and so on

Or some other way of doing it

[main goblet]

You can already do that 👌

That's why I introduced titled names x)

Forgot to mention than you can do both in the changelog mb

For example AlertedSFX-First-20.wav

And so on

[warped jewel]

I tried to do that but it didn't seem to load

[main goblet]

Lemme Check

[warped jewel]

Either that or the terminal listing is broken, because it only shows one when a nickname is applied

[main goblet]

Oh I see the issue

Let me fix that real quick xd

[main goblet]

I will update the mod in a hour, I need to go grocery shopping first xd

[agile horizon]

What files do I need to put into bepin?

[main goblet]

Wdym? Check the "How to install", everything is explained there

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Clementinise/CustomSounds/

[agile horizon]

Oh ok

Also, I had an issue not too long ago where it made me unable to invite people or let them join me via steam. Was that fixed or is it still doing that?

[main goblet]

It was fixed with the config option "EnableNetworking"

[agile horizon]

Oh ok

[main goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Clementinise/CustomSounds/ Update released if you wanna try it out

[warped jewel]

not an immediate problem, but I cant even see the full list of loaded sounds because I have so many it wont scroll correctly

[main goblet]

Havent thought of testing that x)

[agile horizon]

Does every audio mod that's goes into the customsounds folder have to be a .Wav?

[main goblet]

Yes

[lucid wagon]

For now. I will add Ogg Vorbis support to my mod next update (should be out before Christmas) which will let you use compressed .ogg files instead. I assume @main goblet will probably update and add support for that as well after my update is done. Should make bigger sound packs easier to manage and with a lot smaller file sizes.

[main goblet]

(Syncing files will also be way faster, as my method is really size dependant rn)

[frigid dune]

Hey, i'm using your mod (thanks btw it made my life way better) and i was thinking is it possible to "add" more sounds : Killplayerspring and killplayerspring_2 (who do not exist in original game files) so we can have more various sounds for one thing

[main goblet]

You can use random sounds then

It's an effecient way of adding more sounds to one audioclip

Just add _{percentage} add the end of any sounds

Like JackOLanternHit_50 (50% chance for this sound to play for JackOLanternHit AudioClip)

[frigid dune]

OMG

THANKS

[warped jewel]

You can also use the name feature to separate files with the same percentage chance

[main goblet]

[quaint lance]

If you wanted to add more tracks to the boombox, how could it be accomplished?

[main goblet]

There's a lot of Boombox related script, I highly recommend to use those instead

[warped jewel]

Update to this soon?

[main goblet]

?

Oh for other file format support, yeah soon xd

[quaint lance]

Thank you for the response, sorry for such a late response, im trying to get some songs to play on the boom box, i see many upload their boombox song list modpack/modpack just for songs. My question is, any rec's on where i could start to learn to do such things/edit existing ones?

[warped jewel]

This mod would let you overwrite the existing ones

and also add more than 5 if you use the random feature

[wispy radish]

Was wondering about that for the case of like 50/50. Thank goodness I found this

I've been using this mod extensively btw, great work, Clem

[warped jewel]

Are we waiting for v47?
My mod is basically finished, just need an update here to get final testing done and publish

[indigo steppe]

is it possible to delete sounds from the game? I've been trying to get something for the Flowerman but he has 4 different Rustle sounds... is there a way where I can make it only do one rustle sound?

[warped jewel]

Replace every sound with the same one, no other way

[indigo steppe]

if you were able to find how to replace the sounds, how can you upload it to the thunderstore as a mod for people to use?

[wispy radish]

You can also replace sounds with total silence

that's one way

to get rid of sounds completely anyway

[indigo steppe]

yeah that is what I ended up doing

did a 10% 90% situation

[warped jewel]

Thats what this mod does? It replaces the default sounds with your own at runtime

[indigo steppe]

but like, people would need to download the sync one right?

[indigo steppe]

ok I figured it out

now I just need to credit all these wonderful people

[warped jewel]

Yo, any news on that update? If you're just taking a christmas break that's all cool

[wispy radish]

I wouldn't bother anyone for anything until after the holidays

[main goblet]

Yeah I ain't home for Christmas

Maybe when I'm back home Wednesday before my new year vacation

[lucid wagon]

hit me up if you need any help with the implementation when you get around to it and I can give you a helping hand.

[finite wharf]

Suggestion: Leave networking off by default for the config

[pseudo crescent]

Idk if anyone has faced this issue, but I happen to not be able to use customsounds when being with other players. I can’t use any of the terminal commands, the output hangs there, no output. No list, reload, and obv no sync, that was what I was trying to do. What may I be doing wrong? I checked for the network flag to be true in cfg(in lcsound too, but no luck)

[royal current]

hey im trying to change the audio icecreamctruck (the rocket supply thing) it says the audio has been replaced with my audio but it plays the original sound

[main goblet]

Zeekers had the good idea to replace the audio clip name for christmas xd

So now it's IcecreamTruckChristmasV2

Or something like that

[main goblet]

will do

[royal current]

Ohhh thank you so much

[warped jewel]

It will likely go back in the next update, so just include both files to be sure

[delicate junco]

Hey! My customsounds arent in game. I renamed MY wav files to what I want them to replace and put MY files in the custom sounds folder. Have I done anything wrong?

[heady lance]

@main goblet I found a pretty significant bug with the customsounds reload command. It's just completely broken. For example, my sound mod works completely fine, but as soon as I reload them, they all disappear from the list and just don't work anymore. In particular, this error message appears:

Here's a video of it if that helps

[main goblet]

Yeah I know I'm fixing that for the latest update 😅

Reworking a bunch of functions

[main goblet]

Oh and use LCSoundTool 1.5

Should fix this as it's an issue related to LCSoundTool and not CustomSound (Atleast it should be??)

[heady lance]

Alright, good to know 👍

[warped jewel]

Any idea when you'll be finished?

[main goblet]

I'm home since yesterday, so probably next week

probably tuesday or wednesday

[lucid wagon]

yup I simply forgot to check if something is already added to a dictionary lmaoo fixed it in 1.5

[heady lance]

Alright, I found another bug, but this one is honestly just bizzare. I don't know if this is CustomSounds or LCSoundTool, so I'm just reporting it here. So, since I wrote the guide for CustomSounds, a person has reported to me that their sound mod isn't working. Specifically, it includes this specific sound file:

Now, this sound file does not work with CustomSounds at all. Like, it's on the terminal list, but it's just not played. I grabbed the original Airhorn1 sound, and copied this sound into it, resulting in this sound file:

And this one WORKS for some reason??? I looked at everything, the codecs, the spectrograms, and I see absolutely no difference between these two .wav files. There HAS to be something that's causing this, but I honestly have no clue.

[lucid wagon]

I have had few people contact me about their sounds not working as well. Every time I have just re-exported the sound through Audacity and it has suddenly started working while being otherwise identical. I have no idea what is causing it and only thing I can think of is if people use some slightly different or older or something format of sound files, maybe from sketchy online converters or youtube download sites and they do something small that makes the file slightly incompatible?

[heady lance]

Yeah that makes sense

[warped jewel]

At this point some of the sounds in my mod (everything in it has passed through Audacity at some point) have been chain exported three times over and they never stopped working. Definitely some external errors

[fervent fossil]

I suppose I'll ask in here as well (though reading up i see theres an update coming soon) i used this mod to create and upload a pack to thunderstore, and it's working for some of my friends' games and not others. has this happened to anyone before/anyone know how to fix it?

[warped jewel]

both soundtool and this have networking options in config, might be related to those

On another note; "Roar" (sound eyeless dogs make before running after you), "Roar_0" (sound forest giant makes while eating you), and all the Step[number] cues don't get separated properly.
This means dogs use the Giant's sound, and all the Step sounds are pooled into the same group (the bracken, puffer, and spider all use the same ones)
Maybe CS still uses _ as a separator instead of - ? I know ST had that changed

[main goblet]

It uses - as separator

[lucid wagon]

also make sure to take a look at the first FAQ point from LCSoundTool's mod page. Might be the reason.

[round vale]

Is there anyway to randomize the drop ship music? I've been trying for almost an hour and cannot get it to work

[lucid wagon]

soundName-Chance.wav should work. If you do something like two files with soundName-30.wav and soundName-70.wav each would play their respective sound with the specified 30% and 70% chance every time the original vanilla sound would play.

[round vale]

I tried that but only one of the drioship songs show up even after doing that

[warped jewel]

Maybe the dropship sound is a constantly playing one. You’d have to wait for CS to update for it to work

[lucid wagon]

oh yeah actually that audio source and sound is probably bugged in pre 1.5.0 LCSoundTool versions and gets randomized only once and then stays as that sound, so you will need to wait for the CustomSounds update and it should work after that.

and for the record, you're not doing anything wrong its a bug in the programming, it should work after the update exactly like described above for all sounds

[warped jewel]

Do you think this is also because CS is outdated?

[lucid wagon]

I have no idea. Neither of the mods use "_" as a divider or for anything really so I have no idea why that part would get deleted. If it still does that after the next update I can take a look if it is a bug but for now we will just have to see.

[brazen shore]

Can the IcecreamTruckV2 sound not be replaced? I've been trying multiple times to no avail

[wispy radish]

It can

file name is case sensitive

[brazen shore]

I've got everything matched up and in the right spots, but it never seems to work for some reason

I have IcecreamTruckV2.wav and IcecreamTruckFar.wav in the customsounds folder

[warped jewel]

Customssounds > (folder) > the sounds

[brazen shore]

I think I just got it figured out. The audio I was using was too long. I shortened it down to a few seconds and it worked fine.

[round vale]

Does anyone have the sound name for the dropshp flying in?

[wispy radish]

It could be HangarDoorOpening

Though I'm not sure specifically what you're looking for

if it's the one that plays before the door opens then yeah

[warped jewel]

It is this yeah

[vapid crest]

Was making a CustomSounds mod that changed IntroCompanySpeech.wav. While the file is seen on the terminal when the command cs l is run, the new .wav file isn’t playing in-game and the old file still plays. The file is spelled the same as the in-game one. As suggested above, I tried re-exporting the file through Audacity, but that hasn’t fixed the problem either. Any suggestions?

[wispy radish]

It could be too long

[hard epoch]

heyyy i think this mod aint working cause i tried a couple audio packs that use this to load the audio (One of which i made myself, found while troubleshooting)

[brisk quail]

The update broke my mod (CookiesSounds) and basically all other sounds mod, I would love for the .ogg & .mp3 change to work tho

[brisk quail]

Update: it appears that this mod now (because of the new update) conflicts with other sound mods, specifically, BGN-PizzaTowerEscapeMusic

It also broke organization of sound subfolders

before the update, subfolder organization worked well

The red x represents what doesn't work now, otherwise .ogg properly work, but without the subfolders

also, not sure if it's a visual bug, but now % on the terminal are messed up and much lower than their given value, 75% would show as 0.75%

[main goblet]

It's a display issue yes

[main goblet]

Your mod seems to be on Thunderstore, I will check that...

I hate when everything works properly for me and my friends when testing but not once released 😭

[main goblet]

Do you have any errors? Or does sound just blatantly doesn't work anymore?

[warped jewel]

I'll test my pack in a bit to see what does and doesnt work

[warped jewel]

This never worked for me... Weird

[main goblet]

Whats your sound pack ?

[warped jewel]

Memetastic

If something doesnt work, ill know lmao

[main goblet]

"Replacing 415 audio"

[main goblet]

Subfolders works for me...

wait

My discord is bugged or we can't send images here no more?

https://i.imgur.com/Ra01jby.png

Yes we can't no more...

[warped jewel]

Wonder why

[main goblet]

So your mod doesn't have any issue on your end, am I right?

[warped jewel]

if the thunderstore version works good, but im testing OGG next

seems like its working

[main goblet]

For me, thunderstore version works correctly, even subfolders displaying/loading

[warped jewel]

gonna test some of the previously broken sounds

[main goblet]

👌

[warped jewel]

unless gamemaster stops working... great...

[warped jewel]

nope, roar sounds still broken

[main goblet]

@lucid wagon Any idea why?

[warped jewel]

I would assume the step sounds are broken too then

is there any way to get a save file with all items already in the ship? scrap included

[main goblet]

Maybe it can be found on Thunderstore

Doesn't have one unfortunately

[main goblet]

Could you send me the roar sounds? I want to test something

[warped jewel]

cant put files in here
maybe ping a mod and ask them why?

ill just DM them to you for now

[main goblet]

@sick sinew

[main goblet]

thx!

[sick sinew]

hai hello

What's wrong

[warped jewel]

^^

[sick sinew]

You don't have perms

You need to be part-timer

I can send them if you wanna send them to me

[warped jewel]

Nah its good, I DM'd them to clem
How do I get part timer?

[sick sinew]

Just being active in chat or vc's

It's our level system

[main goblet]

[warped jewel]

Is that a new thing? I know ive sent pictures in here before

[sick sinew]

It's like a week old

[warped jewel]

ah well, dms work

[main goblet]

Oh yeah

I can't send the .dll too here

[main goblet]

Well, just uploaded a hotfix for CustomSounds. If anyone still have issues please tell me!

[brisk quail]

major issues seem to be fixed, well done

[lucid wagon]

I honestly got no idea, unless of course your latest hotfix managed to fix this already. I can take a look too if it still a problem to see if it is caused by my mod.

[main goblet]

It wasnt, it's fixed

JacuJ thought that Roar_0 was Eyeless dog roar and Roar was Forest Giant roar, but Roar is used in both and the AudioSource update then fixes this

[lucid wagon]

nice, good to know!

[wispy radish]

I haven't been able to get my menu music to randomize properly, though I might be doing it wrong

uh oh

I wasn't smart and updated the CustomSounds mod without backing up my sound packs

gotta redo so much stuff now

[main goblet]

Yup, thats a reminder that I should move the default CustomSounds folder outside of my mod to prevent mod managers to delete everything in it 😭

Will do it rn!

[wispy radish]

it's fine, honestly my b that I did not back it up properly.

[queen parcel]

So mods dependent on custom sounds (like my own) to work should he working now ?

[main goblet]

Yes, if it doesn't tell me!

[queen parcel]

sweet, ima hop on to try it soon and i’ll see how it goes

[brisk quail]

has MusicAmbiance(1-3) worked for anyone?

[brisk quail]

Issue #1

[forget about the mp3s those are placeholders]

some sounds simply do not work and their % display on the terminal isnt showing as it should even with correct formatting

I found that the mod hates the number 33
even if u add it up to 100%, it still wont take the 33's, fixed this by just incrementing each file by 1

so:
34
34
34

[brisk quail]

It seems to just mostly reject equal percentiles

[main goblet]

Will be fixed with next LCSoundTool update

[brisk quail]

Great work you guys ♥️

[vapid crest]

Hotfix still doesn't seem to work for me. I updated the mod in thunderstore and the custom audio files are being recognized in game, but they aren't being played.

[queen parcel]

Hotfix isn't working for me either, i also sent you a DM about it

[orchid birch]

Kind of a completely unrelated question, but how did you get permission to post images and embed in these?

[hard epoch]

soo i swear this api breaks everytime i try to play with friends it will work one second then not the next, im not salty and would like to help but idk whats going on cause there is no rhyme or reason to when in crashes and all im getting as an error is that "[Warning:LCSoundTool] Legacy path contains the requested audio file at path"

[vapid crest]

I get the same error, i think it's a normal message everybody gets

[vapid crest]

this post was made before image perms were taken away from the intern role. now, you have to be active in chat/vc in order to get the part timer role, which has perms.

[orchid birch]

I see, ty

[main goblet]

Set HideManagerGameObject to "true" in Bepinex.cfg

[main goblet]

This is not a error message don't worry, check that HideManagerGameObject is set to "true" in Bepinex.cfg

I will release a hot fix in a couple hours to fix that

[brisk quail]

AlleyFactoryAmbiance
& probably FactoryWindAmbiance

aren't being logged in the debug console with f5

[lucid wagon]

Looks like you might've found some audio sources that avoid my mods logging then. Thanks for letting me know, I will take a look.

[brisk quail]

thank you!

[vapid crest]

This worked! Thank you so much!

[smoky onyx]

Why my custom sounds are not working? @main goblet

[main goblet]

The answer is right above your question x)

[smoky onyx]

sorry but I cant figure out what is the problem I tried everything :DD

[warped jewel]

Set HideManagerGameObject to "true" in Bepinex.cfg

[smoky onyx]

thanks it worked

but I have a question

Does anyone who downloads my mod need to do this for BepInEx.cfg? Or is there a way to fix this and update my mod? @warped jewel @main goblet

[warped jewel]

LCsoundtool needs it set to true for it to work, so yes

[main goblet]

I will release the hotfix in a couple hours to address this issue

[main goblet]

Hotfix released

[brisk quail]

anything related to equal-repeated percentile numbers fixed in the new hotfix?
OpenBox-90.ogg
OpenBox-bug-5.ogg (only one will be picked out of the bugs for the rest of the round)
OpenBox-bug1-5.ogg

(bug was that if there are repeated percents, it will only choose one of them for the rest of the game/orbit instead of randomizing truly)

[warped jewel]

randomization was fixed, should be

[next radish]

Just updated, updates still delete sounds folder

[warped jewel]

The customsounds folder is separated now

[next radish]

oh damn

just seen :)

[main goblet]

Oh yeah forgot to mention it in the changelog

[next radish]

(I'm also happy we can use mp3's since wav files are so big sometimes)

[warped jewel]

ogg files are even smaller

[next radish]

lol, mp3's suit my needs :)

[brisk quail]

oggs for the win c: (ex mp3 enjoyer) ❤️

[warped jewel]

except for sub 80 hz
then ogg can go suck it lol

[brisk quail]

thats so sweet of u!! thank u for ur two incredible mods (n000b too) u guys r awesome

[brisk quail]

unrelated but I wonder if there's a mod that does a better job at scrolling on the terminal, cause rn scrolling through the terminal trying to see all the custom sounds under cs list isn't really showing everything, since the scroll skips a bunch

[vapid crest]

Thank you so much!

[hoary pike]

I have a very simple question
If I want my friends to have the same sounds as me, can i just send the entirety of the "CustomsSounds" folder or do they have to launch the game with the mod to let it create the folder and then add the sound files ?

[hoary pike]

I now have another question
I tried replacing the boombox music by my own and succesfully did, but now only one music comes up with the boombox.
How can I fix that ?

Does it have something to do with the length of the music?

I've let one of the orginal music also. It played once and from then never again and only one music could play

I guess I can use another mod specifically for the boombox music
But maybe it might affect other sounds i've put so please let me know what is this issue's origin (and it also would be easier to only have this mod to use)

[lucid wagon]

#1177655822004801536 message

[brisk quail]

you also have to enable networking i believe

hi @lucid wagon and @main goblet , you guys should make a joint discord server if you haven't already, i'd love for to have dedicated channels for suggestions, bug reports etc.. feels kinda naggy hitting y'all up here everytime xD

having dedicated channels would make it a lot easier for u guys to see things when u actually want to

if r u in need of a server ur feel free to use my server, i'm totally willing to transform it into whatever u guys want, we already have roles permissions & channels ready^^

[queen parcel]

If you have a bunch of sounds you replaced I’d just turn it into a mod they can download off of thunderstorm/r2modman

[hoary pike]

is it possible to have multiple sounds to play randomly instead of one single sound?

[brisk quail]

yes

[hoary pike]

can you explain?

please

[brisk quail]

I believe the Thunderstore download page has a Wiki where it tells u about having multiple sounds^^

[hoary pike]

lemme check

i checked it but I don't see any explanation about this anywhere

It would be useful for me, I would like to make it so for exemple when you grab an object, you have a 1 in 10 chance to get a special sound

Or just having multiple sounds to replace one

[brisk quail]

you can absolutely do that, we did it with CookiesSounds

[hoary pike]

oh
I'll download the CookiesSounds to maybe find out how it's done

I guess you just need to put the same name multiple times and add something after if needed

i'm going to try

You need a dash

[hoary pike]

no wait i don't get it it's not working anymore lol

i had to do this

now it's working again

[lucid wagon]

that -number is the chance for each sound of a total 100% combined, so 2 sounds with -50 each would play with both sounds having a 50% chance each. You can also add further notes by doing -whatever-50 cuz you can not of course have two files with the same names otherwise.

[hoary pike]

Ok that makes a lot more sense
Thank you!

[hoary pike]

I have another question again
how do i make a 1 in 1000 chance? can i just rename it like exemple-0.1 ?

[brisk quail]

i think it only supports 1-100 chances, wish u could make it higher tho

[hoary pike]

any idea where the "PhoneTheme3" sound plays?

[lucid wagon]

I'll remove the limit from it then, if this is some thing people need. It already supports any number as it just scales the check between minimum and the maximum total chance for that sound, so if you overcap it currently to lets say like 297% total chance by adding 3 sounds with 99% chance each it will pick a sound with that being the maximum, so in theory each sound will have 1/3 chance. I will remove the hardcoded 100% chance limit per sound so then in theory you can add anything up to 2147483647 :)

[hoary pike]

[brisk quail]

making some sounds crazy rare, something like 0.01% was always smth in mind so that'd be nice if u could pull it off!

i mean i'm saying "if u could pull it off" but ofc u could nub xD

[warped jewel]

Theres a few sounds that dont play anywhere afaik. Phonetheme is one of them

[hoary pike]

haha i knew i hadn't heard it anywhere

ty

[hoary pike]

Are the "AmbientMusic" sound files currently used?
I just want to be sure

[lucid wagon]

yes, they play semi randomly when you're on the moons.

[hoary pike]

oh ty
from where do you guys know all of that?
also what about "Stinger_EnterDefaultMaze"? looks like a debug thing so i'm unsure

[hoary pike]

Is "FallingAir" an actual sound when falling? never heard it if so

[warped jewel]

Sometimes plays when entering mansion, the other stinger being for the other map

And “FallingAir” is the sound for the extension ladder falling over

[hoary pike]

Thanks

[hoary pike]

and i guess FallingWater is the same but when it lands in water?

Also is there a sound for creatures appearing from the ground? (not the one for the leviathan, the others)

[warped jewel]

No, that’s just for the player. There are barely any naming schemes with the sounds
And no for the other one

[hoary pike]

Oh ok
And 🥲 because there are no sound for mobs appearing from the ground
I wanted to put some boss music

[finite wharf]

There's barely any naming schemes at all in the game

All praise num and num2

[finite wharf]

is there any functionality for using RNG between multiple sets of sounds?
aka 20% chance for set A, 30% for set B, etc
if not how difficult would implementation be?

[hoary pike]

#1178139851397271633 message

[finite wharf]

since the audio I'm modifying has 3 parts, that wouldn't work correctly If I wanted to add variation

[warped jewel]

Then do 33/33/34

[finite wharf]

I mean, theres 3 sounds that are modifying different parts(specifically lowaction, highaction1 and highaction2), and If I wanted to add variation to which 3 sounds to pick, this method wouldn't work

[warped jewel]

Ah, I get it
That's not how the action sounds work though, they all activate under specific circumstances
High action 1 and 2 play when you are in immediate danger/see a dead body, with the two crossfading in volume depending on how far away the threat is. Low action plays for ~8 seconds after you are no longer in danger and then fades out completely

If you plan to make it play music, I would recommend making highaction1 just a few milliseconds of silence. I found it to be very distracting to have both playing

[finite wharf]

I know exactly how it works, currently the sounds are:

[warped jewel]

The two sounds also change in pitch, so having it like that will make it go out of sync immediately...

[finite wharf]

the pitch variation would happen with anything

[warped jewel]

True, but having them separated will mean one will play at (I dont know the values exactly) a higher tempo, while the other is far lower. It'd sound weird to say the least

I'll show you, hold on

[finite wharf]

it's rng between 4% slower and 4% faster

[warped jewel]

Like, this is how it would sound like in practice

Well, exaggerated, but still it would almost always sound very off

Even a 2% difference will completely mess it up within seconds

[finite wharf]

first half was -4 and second was +4

[finite wharf]

ahh I see

[warped jewel]

Also if your project is at all big I would recommend re-exporting everything as .ogg
It's significantly smaller in file size (my mod became literally 10x smaller) and has no discernible clarity difference

[hoary pike]

Do you know if it is the same for mp3 files?

[warped jewel]

mp3 files are smaller than wav, but not nearly as small as ogg files

the tradeoff is heavy compression, so they might get artifacting at really low/high frequencies and loading it all takes a slight bit longer

[main goblet]

I would recommend using mp3 instead of ogg

[hoary pike]

Why so

[main goblet]

WAV: Heaviest but fastest
MP3: Smaller and efficient
OGG: Smallest but slower

Compression means decompression, which can be heavy at runtime

[warped jewel]

1 seconds of white noise in:
wav ~ 180 kb
mp3 ~ 30kb
ogg ~ 10 kb
The most optimal setup i'd say is ogg for very long files and mp3 for very short/common ones

[main goblet]

OGG for long files is atrocious, long file means long decompression

[warped jewel]

wait... how long are we talking here?

Like I do have some very long files with full ogg compression in my mod. Havent noticed any problems with the decompression though, besides a long initial bootup time

[hoary pike]

oh i see
i think i'm going to stick with .mp3 then, thanks

[main goblet]

More than 5 seconds

[warped jewel]

you sure? I have like 25 minutes worth of music alone in the pack and it all loads in less than 10 seconds

[hoary pike]

anyone knows the sound of the snare flea going on someone's head?

[warped jewel]

ClingToPlayer and ClingToPlayerLocal

[hoary pike]

you are valuable to the company

again, how do you know all of this? there's no way you just went through every file and remembered each one of them

[warped jewel]

Landmine sounds are bundled under "Mine()". Except for PressLandmine.
MetalHatchOpen/Close are used in the company trapdoor and in maze lockers.
BreakerBoxOpen/Close and DoorOpen/Close are actually inverted.
The little girl disappearing and pulling the apparatus both play LightFlicker.
The store dropship plays music for 29 seconds.
The jester's windup time varies by ~5 seconds.
Grabbing a dead body plays StartJump, which is also used for jumping. On the other hand BodyCollision is used specifically.
for when you place a body on the company selling counter.
The Nutcracker's music resets every time it fires.
MetalWalk is the only footstep type that is missing a number in one of the variants.
ChewMeat1 is a random ambient sound, despite the implication of the name.

I vaguely remember what I did yesterday, but I remember all this shit in excruciating detail

The human mind is an enigma

[eager tiger]

anything else?

jk lol

thats pretty crazy tho

[warped jewel]

Hold on, neeed to dig through my memories

[eager tiger]

oh shit 💀

this reminds me of how i know every card in clash royale, their interactions, health, elixir cost, etc

[warped jewel]

JetpackThrust1 has to be extremely loud to sound normal volume ingame
TVKittenTheme doesn't fully finish playing I think
Opening a gift box plays the sound for dropping the gift box and whatever it turned into at the same time
The phone scrap only screams at you when you hold it for the second time, not the first time you pick it up
The masks and the little girl both use Laugh
You can still hear the player and surrounding sounds on the radio even though they have technically already died
VoiceHey is a random sound, even though it sounds like it should be a sound for the little girl
DangerousMoodAmbience plays (almost) on loop when at the company
"Angry" belongs to the hoarder bug
MaskComedyAttach is the sound for having the mask be attached to your face, but ironically the sound source isn't attached to the player and just stays where it started playing in the world
Frighten has 2 variants, 1 and 3
LongRoar plays when the thumper first spots you, ShortRoar plays if it spots you again shortly after losing sight of you
Rustle is one of two footstep sounds the bracken uses, not to be confused with Rock, Grass, and Gravel, which are exclusively for the player
You can hear the shell hitting the floor after firing a shotgun
Gravel and GravelWet are player footsteps, though they aren't limited to walking on gravel despite the implication
monsternoise and growl are the only two lowercase sound files
WoodCreak is an ambient sound, not to be confused with WoodB which is the sound for walking on the wooden floor of the mansion, not to be confused with WoodStep which is for walking on the stairs and bookshelves of the mansion (zeek, why)

Can't think of any other random trivia

[eager tiger]

it seems like zeek focused on game immersion a lot

and ambience/effects more than anything

it explains why sound cues are really important in lethal and why the game sounds so good in general

the last part about WoodCreak/WoodB/WoodStep is also so funny to me 😆 that seems like a pain to discover and deal with when modding

[vapid crest]

this is actually super helpful, you just saved a ton of playtesting. thank you!

[warped jewel]

Here’s a bunch of audiosources for ya

Pickup is basically useless, thank zeekers for that… but drop sounds are all unique

[vapid crest]

Thank you!!

[hoary pike]

Thanksss

What is FinishCharging btw? I know i've heard it but i don't know where

[warped jewel]

Unused im pretty sure

[hoary pike]

🤨
anyway does the BoomboxMusic3 file just never plays or is it a bug from the mod? (or maybe i just got superrrrr unlucky)

[warped jewel]

Decided to do a full compile of all the game's sounds and explanations of where and when they play. It's mostly accurate
#1178139851397271633 message

[hoary pike]

Wow

That is going to be so helpful

I never will have to ask ever again lol

[hoary pike]

@warped jewel
I have a few questions
At some point in the txt you talk about a "trivia section", what is it
Also for HoarderBugCry the description says "unused*", is the star a mistake or did you forget to complete it (same for LockpickPlayer, PowerRoom1, Radio1, DarkAmbience "Ambience when inside*" BushRuttle1/2 "Ambient sounds when in forest environment*", Angry1 "Eyeless dog sound*", SuddenStep2 "Little girl footsteps*")

I got to say it is really useful though, I just think there might be a few errors that I'll check out
And I might make a version of your txt file with all mobs sounds gathered for each of then

[warped jewel]

The trivia section is just copy-paste from what I already posted in this channel, I forgot to add an explanation for the action sounds.
As for the star, it means i'm not 100% sure of the description's accuracy as I don't remember hearing the sound myself. They're either educated guesses or faint memories of where it might play. There shouldn't be any unintentional stars, though feel free to correct me

Also all the mob sounds are specified and you can find them with ctrl + f and then searching for the name. I can separate them from the rest of the sounds, if that's what you mean?

[hoary pike]

oh i see

I can separate them from the rest of the sounds
yes that's what i mean

i'll try to help a bit then

ah yes i missed the trivia part at first sorry

About the Creak sounds I believed it was the sound for vents opening and not ambient as the StrangeSound also play this role but I might be wrong

[warped jewel]

The creak sounds are ambience. VentCrawl and VentOpen might be what you're looking for

[hoary pike]

I'm not looking for them actually but I really thought it was for the vents because each tim I hear one of those I find a monster not long after

You forgot to explain how HighAction and LowAction sounds work int the Trivia section btw

[warped jewel]

I did say that

[hoary pike]

Huh
I don't know where then

[hoary pike]

anyone having the same issue?

[hoary pike]

JacuJ I think the StrangeNoise files are way rarer than the Creak files you should maybe precise it

[warped jewel]

It doesn't really matter that much, they both play in the same circumstances
I'd need someone to check the values regardless

[hoary pike]

hm
i might try to look into that someday

[warped jewel]

Updated it

[hoary pike]

👍

This one must be wrong, I know for sure it plays close but outside the facility
(you can even trigger it close to walls)

[warped jewel]

Yeah it might actually be
wont update that, but will change it

[eager tiger]

What's the total number of sound files in this game?

👀

[warped jewel]

770

[eager tiger]

Is there a category of sounds with the most files? Or is that harder to find out

I assume there's tons of ambient sounds

[warped jewel]

ambience would take the cake for most sounds, yeah
there's about 40

[eager tiger]

The creak sound on the ship? Cause that one is annoying asf

I found a mod to remove it tho

[warped jewel]

nah that's talking about Creak1-11

[eager tiger]

Actually I just remembered

The mod I used to remove that creak sound on the ship got depreciated 😭

And was the only mod that did that

So hopefully it continues to work in the future

[warped jewel]

you could just do it yourself

if it's only one sound it's a simple as can be to make

[warped jewel]

works fine on my end

[hoary pike]

🤔

[eager tiger]

I literally can't code lol

I'm not a programmer

[hoary pike]

You don't need to code
Just download this mod, LC Sound Tool too, then add a silent sound file with the corresponding name in custom sounds folder and that's it

[finite wharf]

you just put some audio files into a folder, rename them and there you go

customsounds mod template

[hoary pike]

Update on this, I found the issue
instead of naming the files BoomboxMusic3 i named them BoomBoxMusic3 instead

[hoary pike]

Is it possible to make looping sounds random?
I know you can but like from what i've seen the game just chooses one randomly to loop undefinetely instead of randomly choosing one each time it's looping

[warped jewel]

from what I understand about the game's systems, thats a fat maybe

[hoary pike]

wdym

[lucid wagon]

that's just how Unity works. I would need to write a custom handling for loop functionality like that.

[warped jewel]

LCS works by replacing the sounds at runtime right? is there no way to make it choose a new sound when the replacement file ends?

[hoary pike]

🥲

[lucid wagon]

no because the "loop" flag is handled internally in the C++ part of Unity and never invokes the Play() method in any capacity when it is being used. My mod does the replacement by Harmony patching the C# side of the Play(). I would need to write another script like the "playOnAwake" flag one, that uses my own solution for looping and instead just calls Play() each time.

which is not impossible to do but I am just saying that not gonna happen in the near future at least.

[hoary pike]

Sad

[hoary pike]

Yo I have a very specific question
You see I have replaced the sound called StrangeNoise3 by my own and the weird thing is that when going to rainy march it started playing all the time pretty much even when i got on another planet without the same weather
I really wonder if it is a bug or something, I had never heard it before that and suddenly it played a LOT

[hoary pike]

i need this so bad ngl

How is the rng working for looping sounds? Do they change everytime you boot up the game or is there some sort of trigger?

[lucid wagon]

its a random seed based on your system date and time.

and it is assigned when you boot your game

[warped jewel]

would it be possible to have multiple sets of sounds that change per level?

[lucid wagon]

yes

[hoary pike]

:o

[hoary pike]

Okay so
I confirm what JacuJ said about the randomisation of sounds being not synced between players even tho it's activated in the config files of every player

[lucid wagon]

custom random sounds should be working no problem, but vanilla random sounds do not get synced because they use the games own randomization system, which is intentional behavior.

[warped jewel]

Nah, custom sounds are syncing either

ive heard that from 2 others now

[hoary pike]

Yes it just doesn't work for now :/

[lucid wagon]

then I need more details, which sounds don't work? What other mods do you have installed? etc.

[warped jewel]

Light mods, nothing that should affect audio significantly. Basically all sounds from what I saw

[hoary pike]

I have a bunch of other mods, and i think not a single sound is synced

also is it normal that the creak sounds and rock ambience sounds are just repeated all the time? it could be how the game works but it's a bit weird i think

[tawdry barn]

I was wondering what happens if two different mod packs have the same audio file. How does CustomSounds load and is there a way to force a load order?

[main goblet]

Alphabetical order

And no there is no way

that would be too tedious to set up

[tawdry barn]

Would A override Z or Z override A.

I’m assuming that’s alphabetical in folder order.

[main goblet]

A override Z

[main goblet]

Exactly

[tawdry barn]

Thank you.

I’ve been working on thing that could end with a large audio replacement library. But I want to make sure that any small library’s, like the braken pack, would override the broader pack.

[hard osprey]

I have replaced several sounds that all work, but the Bracken Killing sound 'CrackNeck' doesn't seem to work.

I have put in a sound called CrackNeck.wav

Is there something else that could be going wrong?

[main goblet]

Weird, you might need to specify the AudioSource

[hard osprey]

What do you mean exactly? Do you need me to specifically share the file I'm using?

[main goblet]

Check the "For Sound Packs Creator" section of CustomSounds

[hard osprey]

Make a new subfolder and name it 'CrackNeck-AS' ?

[main goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/no00ob/LCSoundTool/wiki/828-audio-logging/

I don't know the name of the AudioSource for the bracken

[hard osprey]

I do.

I appreciate the help. Everything is set correctly, but this specific sound has not properly been replaced.

I'll try specifying an audio source with what I stated before and see if it works then.

[main goblet]

If that still doesn't work I will try to replace it myself to check if there is any potential fixable issue

[hard osprey]

I'm really not sure what the issue is.

I tried having the custom sound added both ways now but only the vanilla sound plays. I've triple checked that I have the right sound added. I don't have any other sound modifying addons. All of the other custom sounds work.

I have attached the LogOutput with LCSoundTool's logging turned on.

Other modpacks use the name 'CrackNeck'. That is also what the list uploaded by @warped jewel said it should be as well. I do not know what is wrong.

[warped jewel]

Here's the AudioSource if you need it
NeckCrackAudio:CrackNeck

[hard osprey]

Should that be the file name?

'NeckCrackAudio:CrackNeck.wav'

[warped jewel]

On another note, the documentation is gonna be updated here from now on: https://github.com/LoafOrc/loaforcsSoundAPI/wiki/Master-Audio-List
its technically not made for CS anymore, but it has all the audiosource info

[warped jewel]

Nah, make a folder called NeckCrackAudio-AS and put CrackNeck in there

Actually scratch that, you just messed up the name lol

[hard osprey]

Thanks!

Are any of my other file structures wrong that you can see from the images?

[hard osprey]

I'm asking what it should be.

[warped jewel]

"CrackNeck"

[hard osprey]

lol

Let's try that.

That was my problem.

In my defense... my modteam is called 'Cackling Maniacs'

But seriously thanks for the help folks.

[main goblet]

Some people on the GitHub have requested a wiki, do you want to contribute?

I had too much stuff to do at my work, I haven't been on my pc that much lately 😅

[warped jewel]

I can fork over the documentation, but I wont maintain two versions

[main goblet]

Hmmm thats understandable, do you mind if I copy the last one you sent here and adding you as a contributor to the GitHub? (Even if you don't want to maintain CS' documentation)

[warped jewel]

Sure
That old list has errors though, so it might be easier to copy the current github version and modify it for CS

[main goblet]

I've taken a look at loaforcsSoundAPI, impressive work. There's no need for me to update CustomSounds anymore since it depends on LCSoundTool

[warped jewel]

There are still a few bugs though? Or is that also dependant on Soundtool?

[main goblet]

Dependant on SoundTool

[warped jewel]

Dang

[main goblet]

    -   Fixed audio clip with titles and specified audiosource not being restored correctly
    -   Fixed audio clip trying to restore itself multiple times if multiple files of the same audio clip but with difference percentage was in the list```

[warped jewel]

Just updated the documentation btw, there was a fix or two in there

[main goblet]

Those are the only bugs I saw/had that are fixed since a month, was waiting for a LCSoundTool update

I will update CustomSounds in the coming days to add coroutine and multithreading, since it was the last issue that was bugging me the most

[lucid wagon]

Kind of a late reply, but I've had a month or two break from my mod and lc overall and just happened to look through this discord again today. I looked through their mod as well, and I gotta say that it is very solid and beautiful implementation, definitely the way to go in the future as far as sound mods go. It is built from the ground up to make support for soundpack type mods so much easier, kinda glad I can now semi-retire SoundTool and only keep it maintained.

[lucid wagon]

What fixes are you specifically been waiting for? I am not aware of anything specific you need for CustomSounds to be bug free? but do let me know with a dm and I will try to push out one final bigger update at some point fixing some more bugs and after that I will just keep the mod maintained and forward people toward loaforc's sound mod for any more complex inquires or feature requests.

[hoary pike]

Fix the desync with randomisation please 🙏
Also a way to randomise looping sounds so it's not always the same sound

[ornate verge]

Hey all, haven't seen this question answered yet...
I'm replacing the IcecreamTruckV2 and IcecreamTruckFar sounds in the game with a bunch of files, but the near and far versions don't match up? It always plays a random version of both, where I would like the near version to always match the far version. Is this even possible? Thanks!

[warped jewel]

Not possible currently, but it may be possible in the future with SoundAPI https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/loaforc/loaforcsSoundAPI/

[ornate verge]

Awesome, thanks! I'll keep my eye on it.

[tawdry barn]

any news on how the audio sync is going?

[warped jewel]

^^

[hoary pike]

Any update ?

[warped jewel]

did you mean to send these here..?

[vapid crest]

I didn't mean to
