agniv Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) If I'm not wrong then this topic isn't that cared among the community... Earlier there was a short discussion on this tho but it didn't showed up well... So I discussed to revive this topic myself this way for now atleast so that there won't be an issue to add your own collected sounds from sources to different game situations like cars, ambience, rain, ped's voices and talks maybe, etc... For now, I'll go only with the Loading Screen one as it's the main gate to the game (or whatever you name it) and even if it lasts for 5-6 seconds hardly, it seems quite pretty to see/listen a tiny part of your favorite song playing while just starting the game!... So where are the files stored? All of the audio contents of the the entire game are stored up in the "audio" folder. It itself contains 3 folders in it which are: CONFIG; SFX and streams The 'streams' folder possibly contains all the radio's and most probably cutscene's audios... The 'SFX' folder should contain all of the rest audio effects, vehicle sounds, player (CJ's) dialouges, ped's voices, etc... We all know this tho... And the 'CONFIG' one should contain all the data files of these all audios from 'streams' and 'SFX' indicated to the game... Loading Screen The starting music which is GTA San Andreas's official theme, could be found in SFX>GENRL>Bank_076>...(here)... Here are total 8 audio files in .wav format written in the order of 'sound_001', which means you can add upto 8 different songs of your choice in here but don't expect to get listen to all of them quickly as the game engine will keep randomizing them and sometimes even will loop a single one or two or three... What I did is added 4 individual songs in it and copied those 4 away there, however, it won't increase the chances of playing the next two focused songs quickly but still it may save you from never getting that particular song played again's state as it's clear, the chances of having that song played would be greater and equal ofcourse... Therefore, I would recommend you, if you are fond of a particular song and want it to be played frequently, just copy it few times over that subject (could be for any, for e.g., opening music, custom radio, etc.)... Please keep in mind that you'll have to add 'Eight' tracks for must!! Now the final step is, the type of the audio files! GTA San Andreas' engine supports only Compressed Mono 16 bit tracks and so your songs should be... should be under 2MB Not sure about the track duration but according to my experience, most possibly they should be under a minute...
