A small question

[Firestar]

Is there a way to replace just the red alert sound in a bridge?

[lint]

As far as i know there is i think..
Not sure how, i have never dabbled in bridge modding/SFX modding, im sure someone with more experience in this field will give you the answer

[Shino Tenshi]

yep, it is possible, but at the moment i can't remember how.... i did that alraedy, but it is some time ago now  :?

I'm not really sure how to do it with any other bridges, but if you can find the red alert sound file (usually in your Bridge Commander\Data directory), you can replace it with pretty much anything else you want so long as the file types and names are identical. I think it only works that way with the stock bridges or anything that uses the stock red alert klaxon? Don't hold me to any of that, I really can't remember that well... you can try it, but just make sure you back up the necessary files before-hand.

If you have the Bridge Plugin, Frontier have made that so each bridge has it's "canon" klaxon.

yes if you are using an up to date version of BPCore you can write it into the autoload file, you can even specify volume in there.

Otherwise you are going to have to have a look through the /Scripts/Bridge/BLABLAbridge.py file - I cant remember exactly how to define the background sounds in there now since BPCore is so much easier to use lol.

right assuming you dont have BPCore, the way to do this is as follows.

Right i will be using a SFX for this called Gen_red_alert.wav. you can call your SFX file whatever you like. and i will be modifying the nebula bridges script

firstly go to the root bc directory and place your SFX file into the SFX folder.

Next go to Scripts/Bridges/ and open up nebulabridge.py using notepad

Scroll down until you see the def LoadSounds() and type the following code as shown below.

def LoadSounds():

#   debug("Loading nebula red alert sound")

   pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
   pGame.LoadSoundInGroup("sfx/Gen-red_alert.wav",  "RedAlertSound", "BridgeGeneric")

make sure you also set it to def UnLoadSounds()

ldef UnloadSounds():
   App.g_kSoundManager.DeleteSound("RedAlertSound")

There are a few different types of sound that i discovered could be changed.
they are
LiftDoor
GreenAlertSound
YellowAlertSound
RedAlertSound
Hail

To change these sounds copy this line of code replacing the SFX file and the highlighted to one of the ones i have written above. Also dont forget to unload the sound

   pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
   pGame.LoadSoundInGroup("sfx/Gen-red_alert.wav",  "RedAlertSound", "BridgeGeneric")

if your still unsure try having a look at http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Unique_Red_Alert_Sounds;26110

i reccommend NOT installing this as it is now dated for many bridges.

Also make sure you always make a back up before modifying any script.

May I just recommend looking at, for instance, the recently released Generations Galaxy bridge? That's GalaxyRefitBridge.py

If you look at the "bridgeSound": { } section you will see what you need.

Thanks and I do have BPCore

if you want alert sounds or additional help let me know. a long time ago i set it up so that each of my bridges have a different Red Alert siren. My sov has the red alert from FC, with the power down noise and alert, my intrepid has the cannon voyager alarm, which is the FC alarm without the powerdown, my defiant as its cannon sound from DS9, and my old connie and tng galaxy bridge have the same classic alert. if you need any of these sounds or help, let me know

You could download KM1.0, each bridge has its own canon sound .

You could download KM1.0, each bridge has its own canon sound .

That would be definatly the easiest thing, btw KM has already over 20 000 downloads,
congratulations to all of the KM-Team

sorry for a bit offtopic

[Firestar]

lol who doesnt have km 1.0 What i want to do is add the BSG Klaxon on a couple of my bridges thats why i asked the question. If anyone has a long version of it that would be great
