Whenever I replace the sounds of full auto weapons and properly flag them, they do not loop correctly. They instead cycle through the entire sound, then play again.

Bf2 is like 1942, except BF2 has some updated technology, and it can utilize Loop Keys, or Regions, these keys specify a region within the .wav file that loops, so when the sound reaches the second key it replays the sound from the first, then once ammunition is depleted it finishes the sample. Sound Forge has tools for this.


Alternatively, you could make a very short sound, lets say you are making it for a BAR that shoots 600 rounds a minute, well in that case you should make a sound that is 0.1 (60/600) seconds in length, to loop with each shot (old 1942 method). The downside to this method is there will be no reverb (reverb that is part of the sound iteslf) afterwards, so the sound will just stop. Probably why its better for distance sounds.

Finally got it working. The new sounds are pretty good once I tweaked the sound's ROF a bit!

That's the problem. Since my USB headphones do not allow me to record sounds from the source, that can't happen. Until I get some proper headphones, anyway.

If you are using fraps, try changing "Detect best sounddriver" to choose. Change you sound recording device to "What u Hear" or "Line In"
You may have to set it to default in your audio properties.

That's the problem. They do not exist on these headphones. I'll have to use a really crappy pair to do the recording in.

But I will eventually record something.

It has nothing to do with your headphones and everything to do with your soundcard.
If you are using Vista, you can use Vista Direct capture stream.
I had the same thing as you did. I have the time I will make a screenshoot of my settings in Fraps.

Whenever I consider the pack "complete" enough to release. I need to replace the P14/M1917 sounds and the German MG's.

Ok, sounding good so far, I really like the sounds, but are all of them your own ones? Or did you took them from any other games?
