Hi all,

My question is about editing grenades.

In "Soldiers" file for every soldier the Grenade Weapon is "1" from Class column of "Weapons" file. And there are others grenades in "Weapons" file:

129 - Smoke Grenade
130 - Hand Grenade
131 - Stielhandgranate
132 - Nebelhandgranate

But looks like these grenades are not used in the game...

1) Is it right ?
2) Can I make "130" or "132" ( from Class column of "Weapons" file ) the Grenade Weapon for soldier or it's hardcoded and the game will crash in case of any change ?
3) Where can I edit the sound of Grenade explosion ? Not throwing but explosion !
4) Where can I edit the data and sound of Smoke Grenade ?  

Thanks in advance,

Dfox

AFAIK both sides use the grenade 1 and the other entries (129 to 132) are just for the names. It's hardcoded in the sense that only the grenade 1 will appear on the little squares in the BG screen. You can make other grenade weapons (ie the gammon) but these appear together with the rifles, MG's and pistols and when they are used in game the soldier retains them when idle as if it was his primary weapon but with the legend 'NO AMMO', very weird.

Other Hardcoded entries are the 81mm mortar that serves as the mortar barrage weapon too. The Big explosion is the one used in Naval barrages and the Arty explosion is the one used by flammable objects like barrels or cars.

Thank you, Pzt_Kanov !

And what is about questions 3 and 4 ?

The weapon sounds are found in the Sound.sfx file, to link a weapon with a sound you need to look at the Weapon Sound column almost at the end of the Weapons.txt file. The smoke grenade is the smoke attributes of Grenade 1, it has the same sound as normal grenade.

The actual explosion sounds are in Sounds.sfx file too but you will have to look for them as I don't remember what index number they are.

Dfox, try to get hold of Yukongold's CC Sounds workbook...this should give you all the info you need.
I'm not sure if the workbook is available at CCS though...but try the downloads section.

Please feel free to add to or correct the workbook with any new findings.
I'm not sure if the link for the test sound file will still work........maybe?

cheers

you can't edit the grenade sound explosion in the data, the sound that is data-linked is the grunt/throwing sound.

the hard-coded sound linked to the explosion is 0043 wav, but keep in mind, if you change this, you will also be changing the sound of an AP shell striking the ground, also hard-coded.

I wish hard coding didn't muck up the base files!
