custom howler alarm sound

[Chocksa]

Hi,

I've been trying to add a custom sound to my howler alarm but i can't get it to work. All posts about the subject i found sayd i should put the sound in .ogg format in the resources/newsound/ic2nuclearControl folder with the file name starting with alarm- so i did that and it didn't show up in the howler alarm's ui.

Did i do something wrong or is it not possible to add a custom sound? Is there maybe a size limit to the sounds? The sound samples i wanted to use are around 2 secs long and are 129-164 kb in size.

Finally after an hour of searching i found out how to make the sounds show up in the howler's ui. you have to add the sounds name to the ic2nuclearControl.cfg in the config folder for the ppl who were wondering.

For the ppl who are interested, i have uploaded the sounds i wanted to use to my soundcloud account. There you can listen and/or download them for your own use.

I've tried adding the sound name to the config file but I still can't get it to show up. Also when I rename my custom sound to alarm-default and replace the original default sound it doesn't change it.

The instructions i left are for single player, if you want it on a server game it should be inserted in the server wich i unfortunatly have no idea how that is done.
