Sound Pack

[Kevin Arisa]

Once I release my mod you can salvage any sounds you want from it. A lot of them are from various star trek games. I have some from starcraft and freelancer, too.

It would be far easier if you were to rename the new ones to be compliant with the Sound Pack format now. Add some common prefix, such as "Eclipse_", to the front of the names of all of them. This will insure seemless integration with the Sound Pack. You could then avoid including them in your mod download file, and point people to the Sound Pack, just like the Image Mod. Assuming this ever gets off the ground, of course...

Should have my revised Sound Pack ready in a couple of days (along with my revised TDM races). I have no problem renaming all of the files with some "[prefix]_" format but I have a ton of sounds that I already use the "notused_" prefix on and renaming 100+ files is going to take awhile. Does anyone know of a batch program or easy way to do that?

Thanks

Irfan View does batch renaming rather well. It is an image program, but it should be able to rename any files. It can even just add a nice prefix to the beginning of the names of each file.

Fyron, I believe I emailed you a collection of sounds extracted from MOO2 a while back, so if you still have those, go ahead and put them in

[Fyron]

I don't think I have them at this point in time...

[Ed Kolis]

Want me to send 'em again?

[Fyron]

Sure, and stick a credits.txt and such in there.

Tampa_Gamer, check out CKRename:
--------------
CKRename is a handy utility you can use to perform batch file renaming operations. It provides a three-pane interface: One to select a path, one to display the contents of the current path, and the Last to show the effects of the renaming options you've chosen. You can eliminate file names, insert strings before or after file names, or replace file names completely. You can also choose to sequentially rename your files, change file extensions, change case, and perform string substitutions. CKRename is very easy to use and, better yet, it's free.
--------------
Tested and used quite frequently. I use it for example for renaming the pictures from my digital camera

Edit: spelling

IrfanView does most, if not all, of those things, except the string substitution IIRC. It is also free. Whatever suits your needs is what you should use. Try both.
