Using SCSoundEdit and RA 1.50 sfx.agg?

G'day guys,

I was trying to do some tweaking with the sounds of 1.50 and I noticed that the 'main' sfx.agg file won't allow things to be added to it, for some reason, when using the SCSoundEdit program - keeps saying, "this file cannot be created".

I turned off the 'read only' characteristics of the file - no joy there - still says "this file cannot be created"

I tried modifying a copy of the file - that worked - when I pasted it into the main SFX folder, it said "this file is use by another program" - even though I had no other programs running.

Please help if you can - the other interface sound files seem to work - which makes it weird why the main sfx.agg won't allow changes. :Kaleun_Salute:

Cheers guys,
Stew

Did you run DW right before working on that sfx.agg? Or some kind of editor. Sometimes Windows is lazy in letting go of it's file access-rights after a program shutdown. Rebooting Windows should release the file again. I don't know a nicer way to do it.

I managed to get it to work, but now I've broken the sfx.agg file, no ambient sounds from subs and ships (and I forgot to make a backup!)

Oh well, looks like another reinstall ;)
