Is it this easy?
Sins Forums
If I wanted to use some of these laser sounds: http://www.audiosparx.com/sa/display/sounds.cfm/sound_group_iid.959
Would it be as simple as ensuring they are in .ogg format and then replacing the existing file with one of the same name?
I would think so. Try copying the sound that you are going to replace (as a back up. Always make backups before you change your game files) and try it out. If you use the same exact spelling and capitalization of the name of the file that you will replace, and ensure that it is .ogg, the game should use your new sound.
I have not done it myself, but it should work.
Yup, and trimming them so just one laser blast is there. If its a beam you'll need to make sure it loops.
Here are some free sound effects you can use if you give credit to the modder, already in .ogg for Sins I think.
Nobody mentions that sound effects need to be mono?
If the sound is stereo it will only play over 1 of the channels. Only music is stereo.
Also the ogg format is not really necessary, it might be easier to change the extension in the .sounddata file to mp3 or wav, but if you are converting to mono, you may as well convert to ogg at the same time.
EDIT: also dont forget to put your sounds in a mod folder or the next update you will lose all your work.
Thanks for the link GoaFan77! I listened to the sounds the other fellow had created and they are exactly for what I was looking. Sounds effects with some muscle behind them.
Thanks for the information myfist0. It's disappointing that the sound effects are in mono. I think that is part of the reason they sound so muffled and lifeless to my ears. Also, thanks for the link to the mod resources. I will definitely look into that.
Gee...I didn't know the sounds were mono. Nice add there MyFist0.
Nobody ever tells me anything. ;)
