Ok, i'm probably asking something old here but i've tried searching & come up empty. I'm trying to change radament's taunt, i've copied a new wav file with the same name into what i believe to be the right location "data\global\sfx\act2\monster\radamenttaunt1.wav". My new file is 22,050Hz, 16 bit, mono like the rest of 'em. I've checked the entry in sounds.txt and it seems to correspond, although the subdir is only listed as act2\monster\ i'm sure this is just an abbreviation. When i go into a game tho, all i get is the usual "we live again" taunt, the original! I've successfully changed all the other sounds which are also used for the greatermummy, they work fine, but it's just this damned taunt! As far as i can tell everything is where it should be, but i've never tried changing a taunt before, so is there something else that needs to be done? anyone?
And while i'm on the subject, is there a viewer that can actually list the contents of d2sfx.mpq? I've tried cv5 but that only lists a few files, can't get mpqview to generate an accurate listfile either.

I haven't messed around with this at all, so correct me if im wrong. But instead of the path being "data\GLOBAL\sfx\act2\etc" shouldn't it be "data\LOCAL\sfx\act2\etc". Try it.

hey gorothon, i did edit the sounds.txt file a bit, let me explain.....
The sounds that radament uses are for the greater mummy, i only had 2 spell wavs whereas the greater mummy has 6 i think. So what i did is changed from spell 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 to spell 1,2,1,2,1 & 2 in the sounds.txt file so that i'd be able to use just my 2 wavs for all 6 spells.
As for the folder itself, i used the subdirectory data\local\sfx\act2\monster and the radament taunt was in the monster folder at the end.
I remember you were doing stuff with this before gorothon, how far did you get with it?

The taunts use "local" becuase they are different for the localized versions. In the German version Radamant will greet you in german instead of the english "we live again!" The other mummy sound effects are the same in all languages, so thats why they are in global.
