Need some help modifying sound effects
I'm studying for a bachelor's in Computer Science, so while I'm not unfamiliar with programming, I've never actually worked with coding any ToME related stuff myself. Recently, I've started up a new Corrupter playthrough, and I remembered that one of the reasons I had a love/hate relationship with them is because they're really good, but the sound effects for their spells are inferior (for my taste of course, just a preference) to those of a Gravity PM, for example. I had thought about trying to mess with the sound before, but now I'm finally performing the proverbial act of "getting up off my butt and doing something about it instead of just complaining or wishing for it."

) Thanks for your time!

Re: Need some help modifying sound effects
Look up how to make an addon.
The files you want to overload are in the module (.team)

My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

Re: Need some help modifying sound effects
The files are located in game\modules\tome-1.0.5.team, which is just a renamed zip file. However, you can change the sound effect without mucking around in there by making an addon. Feel free to use this one as a base: (which is also just a renamed zip file)
-Extract init.lua from the linked addon and edit it with your info
-You'll want to overload the old sound file with your own. Put the replacement in overload\data\sound\talent\slime.ogg
-Zip the folder with your edited copy of init.lua and name the file tome-(your addon name).teaa
-Using this addon as-is will invalidate your save files and prevent your characters from showing up in the vault. To fix this, post here to get uploader permission, then use the sidebar on the right of te4.org to create a new addon. You'll need the md5 hash of your addon, which you can find in te4_log.txt after starting a character with your addon. Alternatively, you can use the 1.0.6 beta, which has built-in addon publishing tools that streamlines things a LOT.
