NEW FM Soundpacks by n0va

[n0va]

I will be starting work on my first addon soon guys.

[polegategavin]

Can you confirm how to copy the player ids into the match_sounds file, and then save it as a CFG file.

It always tells me "cannot create the C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\ Fottball Manager 2008\data\match events\match_sounds.cfg file." Make sure the path and file name are correct.

Can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong please.

[polegategavin]

* \Football Manager 2008\data\match events\match_sounds.cfg

[n0va]

I do not know what you have done there mate.

Do me a favour and login to your FMGLive account then send me the config you use via megaupload or filefront ect and i will look...repair and send it back to you.

This is a rare problem. Noone else has had it and i dont want you to miss out so just simply send the cfg to me and i will send it back. It also gives me knowledge on howto fix the problem if anyone else experiences it.

What updates do you mean? I have released:

Club/Non-Specific Soundpack
Player Soundpack
Cut-off Fix
Loop Fix

If you are wanting more chants then be patient. I got alot of other things in the 'real world' to do. They will be done shortly.

[phnompenhandy]

I downloaded and installed these yesterday n0va. Sounding pretty good so far - look forward to more, maybe top world stars not yet playing in the EPL

[TEL123]

thanks mate GREAT so far ps
us managers dont live in the real world

[n0va]

I know we dont but i really need to get a job asap before i can do much more. I am quickly running out of cash and sanity.

Phnompenhandy i am glad you are enjoying them. What do you mean by players not yet in the EPL? Do you mean players like Kaka, Eto'o and Ronaldinho? I was thinking of doing them but i cant understand what italians or spanish are chanting lol.

[lupinettiv]

n0va, where are the sound files located at fmglive? I can't seem to find them. Thanks

[lupinettiv]

I found it. I'll let you know how it works. thanks

[city321]

Okay help please i have downloaded the english pack put it in fm08 data and extracted to england sound fix i open the folder but cannot see a read me and am not sure what to do.

Help please

[n0va]

Download the other fixes aswell.

All you do is copy the files in the england sound fix folder into your sounds folder in the data folders.

Rather easy to do .

[n0va]

Sorry i should have said: overwrite the files that it prompts you to replace.

[city321]

sorry what other fixes? i have been on FMG live and downloaded your england pack. What should i do now please explain thoughly as im pretty computer iliterate.

Best to ask those questions on FMGlive itself, in one of the sound threads by Nova.

That's where the links are, so you could easily be referred to them, rather than having to explain here.

[city321]

okay i have posted there and am awaiting reply

[Frankie 7]

There's a pretty useful read me in the file you now. read that, It helps.

[n0va]

THIS THREAD WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR HELP WITH INSTALLING THE SOUNDPACKS. PLEASE POST ON THE FMGLIVE.COM/FORUMS WEBSITE IF YOU REQUIRE HELP.

Please only use this thread to give me feedback on the soundpacks. It shall be used for feedback only so i will not answer questions like:

Help me i cant get the soundpacks to install, what do i do now?

I will simply ignore them from now on. Looking after this thread here and then 2 other threads at fmg where the same questions are answered is to much work.

Thank You for co-operating.

Yes, exactly those kind of players that many of us will buy into an EPL side. Oh yeah, didn't think of the language barrier LOL. No 'Ole ole ole's then?

BTW I was starting to think that the sound files hadn't loaded at all, but after some 20 matches they have started kicking in.

Even though I installed both fixes, I do seem to be still getting one loop stuck on occasions. Maybe that will fade away too.

[TEL123]

whats all the aggro mate looking forward to more sounds

[n0va]

I wont go into detail at the moment mate. Just really annoyed with somethings. Dont worry TEL i will continue releasing content such as addons ect but wether thats here or on FMG is another story.

Dont worry tho.

[TEL123]

well nova what you have done so far has made a great game even better

[Daniel Foster]

Could anyone upload them please?

TEAM & NON SPECIFIC CHANTS SOUNDPACK.

The creator of this pack (nova) does not take any responsibility for anything that may happen to your game once you have installed this soundpack. By installing this soundpack, any saved games or files that cannot be recovered or become corrupted after installation you agree that the creator cannot be held responsible.

The user takes full responsibility.

NO REDISTRUBUTING THE SOUNDPACKS WITHOUT PERMISSION.

All sounds do work & play frequently. The non-specific, team and player chants work brilliantly together so i recommend you download them all .

WARNING: WARNINGThe packs do contain some 'strong language' so do not download if easily offended.

I will always be updating the packs by releasing addons in the future.

Greek & Serbian Chants: Delije

HOWTO DOWNLOAD:

Scotland Soundpack: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6HNXKBIZ
English Soundpack: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XTMMVXPB

SOUNDPACK PATCHES:

Looping sound patch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YM5I90B6

The above patch removes the getintothem chant but also stops the looping error that gets very annoying.

Install: Copy both files into the soundpack(s) you downloaded and replace the files you are prompted to.

England chants cut-out patch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DX5FPLSG
Scotland chants cut-out patch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XDAQHX9

The above patches fix the non-specific sounds cutting off instead of fading in/out. This makes them sound a whole lot better.

Install: Copy into the sounds folder which is in your FM08 Data folder.

I am sorry to those affected by my decision to pull the link for a few hours due to my arguement on FMG. I now feel that putting the links on si will make it easier for members to download the packs rather than just joining FMG to download the content.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND PLEASE KEEP THE FEEDBACK COMING. ALL HELP AND SUPPORT SHOULD BE ASKED HERE NOW AS I WONT BE ON FMG AS MUCH ANYMORE.

[Zan87]

I haven't yet tried them mate but they sound very good indeed.The only thing that is putting me off is that you haven't faded them in and out like Furney used to.

I know you don't have the time to do it but isn't there a way to do a batch edit, which say fades 3 seconds at the start and end of every file?

Enlighten me which way i conduct my buisness? I have just found out about this and i am very annoyed. What exactly is the problem? Because you were not given a award? Is this serious? I get on veryw ell with you, I ahve tried to help you and NO WAY did i make you staff to make this our site exclusive. You were made staff to also help ion the fm section. I saw a quality in you which i thought was crediable. But you made your choice and good luck with anything you do in the future.

1. I HAVE faded them in and out. Thats what the PATCH is for.

2. I dont know if there is. I do each one seperate. If you find anymore information on this then please do tell me.

I will just happily go back to being a V.I.P on FMG. Sadly i am rather p*ssed off about a few things that i wont go into detail here about. I got on with you aswell and i would like to think we could stay buds. I lost my temper after some unneeded remarks made about me. Fair enough i dissaproved of something but to be called certain 'things' is out of order.

I might not have took my problems up in the right manner but the responses i got were kind of 'amusing'.

[alvinghammariner]

I hate you for this as this is my first Fm as i got it for Xmas and was alreaqdy addicted now you've made it worse! lol. Only Joking thanks for these they are very good indeed.

Ok, thanks. I must have MISSED reading that part, I APOLOGISE.

Might give it a go.

[n0va]

No problem Zan. I hope you like them when you download them.

Alvinghammariner i got worried for a second there lol. I am sorry to have made your addiction worse. Look on the brightside at least its not a gambling addiction! .

[n0va]

Ok guys i just thought i would let you all into some 'stuff' that i have been doing. As you all know i have now stopped using FMG for my soundpack thread and they have now been removed from the website. This leaves this forum only which will in due course become cluttered and untidy.

A couple of months ago i started making a small website for soundpack support but then stopped as i was promoted on FMG. Due to the recent problems i have had to act quick. Meaning i have now opened the website i forgot about.

The reason i am opening it is for more support given to the soundpacks i made. I even gave the soundpacks their own area so i can expand my creations.

What i hope that will do is encourage the users of my content to go and register, then post some feedback, improvements or even let me know what they would want to see in addon packs.

From now on i will be using the website to release new addon soundpacks and anything else i make.

It is a community website that has more than just the soundpack support. It contains an off-topic section and some other areas. I really hope users of my content can signup and help me out for future releases.

If you can then please goto: fmplanet.freeforums.org.

Thanks for all comments so far. They have been GREAT!

[rainyguy]

Hi nova, I am excited on using ur soundpack. However, was wondering any chances of hosting elsewhere apart from megaload?

[TEL123]

nova cant seem to get on your new site

[n0va]

TEL try this: http://fmplanet.freeforums.org

If you can click that link then just copy & paste it into the web browser address bar.

Rainyguy, thanks for being the first member on the FMPlanet forums. Since you are my first official member i will upload the soundpacks onto filefront or somewhere else tonight. I have been at my gf's last couple of days and her laptop/internet is slow!

[Spawnisen]

This soudns great, Im currently downloading the soundpatch. I have found the match soudns to be a bit boring so im looking forward to it. Great job.

[Spawnisen]

Hmm, you dont seem to be allowed to edit your posts:

Also, If you need help with any website, forums(coding or whatever) or anything really regarding tech, You could email me or just add me to msn if you want.
[email deleted]

[n0va]

Thanks mate. I might take you up on that sometime but at the moment since the forums are free i am limited to what i can or cannot do.

I will add you to msn later.

Mate you threw the rattle out of your pram all becuase you got overlooked for Member Of The Month Award. You were tols that staff do not get nominated for these awards and that they are for the members. You again spat the dummy and you were told to grow up, Which they had a right to do. Then you went on about how much time you spent making this pack, Something we never ever asked you to do, You did this off your own back. Then you said it caused arguements between you and your GF, then you makw your own website. Not a good move for someone having such problems in personnal life but thats your choice and i wish you good luck. For some reason you wanted to be known as the guy who was saving a website., That just wasn't the case. Ok a few new members joined up to get the soundpack, But those same members most lilely also saw what else others put into the site and stayed. I myself have put in way more time than nayone on that site and do not go round looking for my ego to be rubbed. I do it because i like doing it, Give something to the scene. Think what you like, We did nothing wrong to you. You di all this to yourself. To say some people said things and were being immature, well mate i think yourself was being massively immature on this one. And in no way did i ever bring you on board to fmg jusr to make your soundpack exclusive. How dare you even say that. I told you what and why you were asked to join us. So please do not say things like that which are untrue. Good luck with the new site i hope it goes well. Good luck with whatever future project you decide to do as well.

[n0va]

Are you finished?

I'ved moved on...so please dont keep it going here now aswell. Things were said and things have been done, so lets just let it be.

You have your site & i am going to give my own a go. So please dont hijack this thread on a whole different forum to keep something going.

If you want to discuss it more then email me. You have my email address so no reason at all to keep this going on public forums and making both of us look like fools.

[n0va]

I have nearly finished with my first addon pack which will include more player chants.

This will be released on http://fmplanet.freeforums.org. So please register as it will be released soon!

Please Note: I am currently looking for 6 Soundpack Developers. Preferably people from outside the UK so they can work on forgein player, club or general crowd chants so we can create a bigger, better soundpack than we have now.

Please see the 'announcements' thread on FM Planet for more information concerning staff.

[HTAFC23]

This sounds great

But do you have to have the highlights and match speed set at a certain speed for them to work like furneys?

[n0va]

I recommend you set the match speeds to halfway or a little over.

If you set it too fast the game sounds will be delayed as they wont be able to kkeep up with each other.

Please guys, if you need help & support i have setup a whole thread for the soundpacks on FM Planet.

Please use it!

[n0va]

The player chants soundpack has now been uploaded to filefront. This give people who have trouble downloading from megaupload a chance to download the soundpacks.

The link is available on the FM Planet forums. http://fmplanet.freeforums.org.

I am having trouble uploading the bigger soundpacks onto filefront. It cancels the upload for some reason.

PLAYER CHANTS ADDON PACK!

These are a must have for anyones game. The player chants soundpacks add alot of depth to those goal-scoring celebrations.

[Frankie 7]

Passing a message on from a mate on another forum:
Seems he is having a spot of bother joining your site mate. I tried to fix his message up as it was all txt speak.

Hey Frankie, That guy who used to have that soundpack thing on your site, I cannot join his site. Did you have any trouble joining at all? I have a problem with the bit at the bottom where it has a sum. Now i cannot join at all now it tells me i have tired too many times and to try again later. I cannot even contact the guy on his forums as there is no way to contact any admin on his page. Can you ask him whats going on?

[n0va]

Hmmm,

I was not aware of such a problem. I know freeforums are pretty unstable & reliable but i only have limited access.

The good news tho is we will soon be moving to a 'secret' location for our hosting ect.

All will be reveiled in due course!

[Myros]

Great packs n0va, enjoying them a lot.

One little thing I noticed is that since installing your packs the game no longer skips the 'boring' parts when watching a match. ie waiting for the ball to come back to the corner taker it would normaly jump ahead to just before the kick, now I have to watch the ball slowly roll back to him.

Minor thing but kinda annoying, any idea what causes it?

Cheers,
Myros

[Myros]

Took a quick look over the config files to see if I could track down the problem listed above and came across this:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
# EVENT_WAIT
= 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0,SOUND_CROWD_CHANT
> 10, 900
</pre>

Normaly when values are fed into program tables the number and type are hard coded, where did you get the idea to add "SOUND_CROWD_CHANT" as an extra column and add it to what appears to be a numeric value field?

Could be causing some issues there, maybe the repeating unwanted sounds etc.

Just curious where that came from.

Myros

[HonkyDick]

Good on you for leaving FMG . I signed up there weeks ago just for this pack and still haven't received the confirmation email that was going to come in 10 minutes . After waiting for 3 or 4 days I went and signed in anyway and it worked but it would have been easier and quicker if the confirmation had been sent.

[Myros]

Tracked down the problems to your file match_sounds.cfg

Here's the errors in it:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
# penalty appeal turned down then given
SOUND_APPEAL_TURNED_DOWN_THEN_GIVEN, "", 0, 1, 2, 0
</pre>
Looks like there should be no "", if there is no sound to play then you leave that part blank.

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"># penalty appeal turned down then given
SOUND_APPEAL_TURNED_DOWN_THEN_GIVEN, , 0, 1, 2, 0 </pre>

Here's the erros likely to be casuing the unwanted looping:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
SOUND_CORNER, "FM_corner_anticipation" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_TAKES_BALL_TO_RIGHTLEFT, "FM_fan chant" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_PLAYER_LOOKS_FIRED_UP, "FM_anticipation" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_PLAYER_HOLDS_BALL_IN_CORNER, "FM_general chant" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SHORT_CORNER_TIME_WASTE, "fm_corner" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_CHEAT, "FM_cheat" 0, 1, 2, 0
</pre>

Those are the ones I noticed there is a comma missing after the file name. That would lead to bad data being put into the program with it most likely reading the "1" in the "loop flag" value instead of the "sound type" value as is intended.

Myros

[Myros]

Other's missing the comma:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican1" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican2" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican3" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican4" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican5" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_SOUTH_AMERICAN_CHANT , "FM_crowd_southamerican6" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_EUROPEAN_CHANT, "FM_European1" 0, 1, 2, 0
SOUND_EUROPEAN_CHANT, "FM_European2" 0, 1, 2, 0
</pre>

[Myros]

Some more errors for you ;p

You have pointed to a sound file that doesnt exist. "crowd push forward 1".

You have misnamed a few files eg
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
SOUND_LIGHT_DISAPPOINTMENT, "FM small_dissapointment", 0, 1, 2, 0
</pre>

Also "FM_**** refs" doesnt exist.

You have 2 spaces between 'FM' and 'small' the file only has one.

And while on that quite a few programs have problems with spaces in file names, which is why they get named "this_is_a_file" instead of "this is a file". Also noticed you used a comma(,) in a file name which can also be a problem.

Myros

[Myros]

Oh and one last thing (I promise)

Most of the sounds you use are not the same format as what the game uses.

Your bitrate is half and use mono instead of stereo. This can also cause problems with games that are hard coded to a specific audio format (it looks like FM is as all the original sounds are 1 specific type).

Ok all done.

Myros

[n0va]

Myros thank you very much for pointing out these errors. I will look into these asap.

At the moment i am working on the FM Planet community website. I am creating a whole new site for them. Its nearly done lol. Just got a couple more issues on the main site and the forums to layout.

Once all that is done i will then look into this.

Its some 'small' errors i missed and i thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. Due to the FM Planet community being my website i will be hosting the files there. Before that tho i will go through EVERY soundfile again and edit the configs with the errors you have called out here.

I promised the community i would take on this huge modification project as longterm and remain devoted to it. Which i will.

So please be patient and expect an updated soundpack to be released soon!

Maybe once i have completed the website/forums you could be the first addition to my staff team. I would be more than happy to give you a position as a 'soundpack developer'. If you are interested i wil be releasing more information on staff positions when the site opens.

Thanks again.

[Myros]

No prob n0va. Doubt I'd have time to do a staff thing but when you get time to work on your sound pack or other project and need a little beta testing done Id be glad to help.

Anything for a fellow glaswegian

Myros

[Colorado]

Hi n0va, sounds like you've put alot of effort into this so good effort mate.

I play the South American leagues alot and if you remember back to CM01/02 you'll know that there were South American specific crowd chants which really added to the atmosphere of the games.

Are these included in your sound pack and if so to what extend?

Thanks and good luck!

[n0va]

Unfortunately i have only done my soundpacks for the united kingdom leagues so far. I didnt even think about doing an american chants soundpacks because i didnt think their would be many people wanting it. If you want to start a poll about wether i should do an american pack for teams/players or crowd chant then please do. If it gets enough people wanting it i will consider spending time developing it.

At the moment i am nearly finished the NEW website and due to me still having some other things to finish once the site is open the earliest i could start on an american soundpack is about 3 weeks to a month.

That should give you some time to do a poll and get feedback if others would want american chants in there.

What south american teams are you referring to?

Well all the major S.American clubs really if that is possible, 01/02 automatically played these chants for ANY South American game although I'm unsure whether FM now works the same way.

FM Planet currently has staff vacancies available. More information on the positions are available in the FM Planet Menu. Just click Planet Staff and you can find the info you need in there.

We ask everyone to stand by us for the time being. Althought the 'new' home of FM Planet is now 'open' we will still be updating, editing themes, adding articles ect. This all takes time. So please be patient if we have any downtime. We shouldnt have tho.

Thanks for your time & enjoy your stay!

I will soon be releasing a config that will include all updated information that has been provided by: Myros. So again thanks to him.

I also need help!

I am running out of ideas for player chants and team chants for addon packs. Some teams dont have any so i ask any fans of teams in the LOWER LEAGUES of SCOTLAND or ENGLAND if they have their club chants then send me them please.

These can be chants from a mobile phone record or just off google!

This is for YOUR benifit aswell as mine.

Another thing is. I made these chants for everyone and i have now setup a football manager community website with a section dedicated to my soundpacks. This section gives YOU the chance to request a chant, give your opinions on the chants and tell us future ideas!

So far hardly anyone has bothered. With that respect please dont moan at me when i release the next addon pack and your chant is not in there!

the sound pack has been removed from fmglive - any ideas where to find it now?

[VictorMoses]

ignore my last post - i found it

[n0va]

As i feel i have not released anything in the past few weeks i have decided to release version 2 of the soundpacks soon.

Whats going to be in the soundpack:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Added new start-up tune
Updated chant settings
ALL player chants included
ALL team chants included
ALL non-specific chants included
Replaced some chants with better ones
Added new chants
Tweaked all configs
Loop bug is now gone
Chants are now all the same format[/list]
I am sure i will add to this list before the soundpack is released.

Please note: This soundpack will be similar too the england soundpack already released but significantly updated & improved. At the moment their is no plans for an updated scottish soundpack.

Soundpack v2 is in other words an England Superpack. I added all the addon packs into it aswell.

Hopefully, you guys appreciate it more this time. :P

Looks intresting all these different packs, to the creator, now to decide which one to downlaod lol, anyone know the best combination of downloads for EPL?

[Myros]

Looking forward to trying out the changes n0va.

Myros

[n0va]

Myros thank you so much for the help in spotting those errors. You asked about the Sound_crowd_chant being next to the numbers but i tried it without it their and they didnt work so i put it back.

I renamed a couple of sounds and sorted the commas ect so it should be good now.

I have also changed the format of all the chants to a better improved format and faded-in & out ALL the chants for club & players.

Liam_everton89 what do you mean best combination for EPL? My soundpacks contain every player chant and club chant for the EPL and no other pack rivals my soundpacks for quality or quantity. So wait until v2 is released on http://www.fmplanet.org in a day or 2.

You'll love it.

P.s. I am now taking requests for chants on http://www.fmplanet.org/forums. So if you want a specific chant for a specific team i'll happily do it.

[n0va]

Guys,

Whats the name of the chant that goes to the sound of 'the animals go in 2 by 2, hora hora?' i am trying to find it to add it into my soundpack v2.

A response asap would be great!

ok mate looking forward to it, so is there one that has songs when the game is playing normally and stuff and not just when a player scores?

The only one i have donloaded is the goal scoring one, is there any more?

[england2110]

I have now downloaded the English pack but it says get rid of the normall "sounds" and "match events", But doesnt that mean that i get rid of my current "player song things"???!!!???

Please help, and sorry for being a pain in the A*sE

[n0va]

If you read a few topics up you would see i made it clear all help would now be given on www.fmplanet.org/forums.
Best thing to do is download the england soundpack and then the player chants. Put the all into one folder and call it sounds and then replace the sounds folder already in your DATA folder with the one you just made.

Same for the match events. It is pretty straight forward.

The v2 will have all the packs in one file and will include FULL configs. So confusion like this doesnt happen again.

[england2110]

ok thank you very much for the work you put into this and helping, me but i ended up deleting them because It made each match ages to load up to the actual match! obviously it doesnt like me but i like them very much, well done in making them.

[england2110]

^^^sorry, this may be hard to understand.

[Aldokemp(H)]

I HAVE GOT THE SOUNDPACKS BUT AS FOR THE SCOTTISH ONE YOU NEED TO ADD :-

OBVIOUSLY IN A LINE BUT I DON'T KNOW WERE TO SET THEM ALL WOULD YOU PLEASE POST A SCREENSHOT TO SHOW ME WERE THEY GO ?

[n0va]

The scottish TEAM & PLAYER chants are already included in the soundpack.

The only difference is their is NO scottish non-specific chants in this one. I may release another scottish soundpack soon.

[Silver Foxx]

n0va - First and foremost I would like to say thankyou for taking your own time to create this soundpack. I have just tried it and it is simply amazing

A big thanks to you, and also Furney who's pack I have also used, both of you are top guys.

Peace Out

[n0va]

Really easy to install too, except some people might not be too sure about the correct path to enter the data folder.

Here it is (for Windows XP) -


My Computer -> C: -> Program Files -> Sports Interactive -> Football Manager 2008 -> data


I mention this because some people might look in their My Documents instead, where there are other FM folders for skins etc.

Put the folders you download which are sounds & match events in the above directory. You will have to move the folders already there to a new location.

Thats all you do.

Also, i dont put ANY of my files on FMGLive anymore so if you use my soundpacks then dont ask for help there.

Thanks.

[Big Geordie]

Just downloaded this and got it working too. Great work, Nova and thanks very much.

[Neji]

Good pack. I haven't used sounds in game for years but I have no TV atm (of which I usually have on in the background) so I've put sounds on.

Thanks for the pack, much better than standard. It's great when Tudgay scores and they start singing his name.
