Uhh I'm having an issue
I want to make a default replacement for all the game's music
but for some reason whenever i try replacing the music from say, world adventures, only the base game music i replaced plays and it just completely ignores the package with the WA music replacement

pls help

This was discussed a couple of years ago and should be working, please read post #38 through #41.

Thanks a bunch!!

I found a small bug, while creating a new music mod with your really amazing SoundTool.

When I try to import a song that starts with zero volume, it causes an uncaught error.
I attached a zip file with the example song that didn't work and some screenshots.
When I removed the begin of the track that had no volume (via Audacity), it worked.
This only seems to happen, if it's zero volume on the begin, not on the end of the track.

And I have to say it again how gratefull I am for this god given SoundTool of yours. Thank you

Try using the ealayer3.exe by simmythesim, it should be able to handle frames without any sound.

The ealayer3.exe you linked is the old version v0.7.0 with the fix, but we already got a v0.7.1 that fixed some other things (but has not the fix you linked). Would you be able to add the fix you linked to the newer version? I really tried to recreate what @simmythesim did (post #182), but I'm really a hardcore beginner regarding hex editing and C++ compiling. Through the GitHub we know, that the fix is not yet implemented in the source code (linked the line of code) of ealayer3 v0.7.1.

I tried it. But using it won't let this tool create the PACKAGE file for me. If I click 'Save', it will create the file with the AUDT resource only, but then, if I add a file and save it again, the PACKAGE file becomes empty.

If the AUD resource is not saving it is most likely because it is in conflict with game resource, try changing the filename of the sound recording to get another IID.

But it won't create the PACKAGE file at all at first when I use this fixed ealayer3.exe. The sound file has a non-conflicting name. It only happens if I use simmythesim's ealayer3.exe.

I have a question about this tool: "Can it also replace sounds that the musical instruments used as objects in buy mode can make when played?"

The various songs you can play are found in Music / Instruments.
