Audio guide

OpenRA supports WAV and AUD formats for audio files.

Follow these steps to add a new audio file to a mod:

1. You need to convert your audio files to 16-bit 22050 Hz WAV with a program of your choice:

   • http://kwave.sourceforge.net/
   • http://audacityteam.org/

   For the conversion of WAV to AUD(not obligatory) you can use:

   • http://www.winamp.com/plugin/xcc-aud-writer/24475
   • http://xhp.xwis.net/utilities/XCC_Mixer.html
   • http://vladan.bato.net/cnc/
   • http://d2kplus.com/audioconverter.php

   Listen to AUD files to test them:

   • http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
   • http://xhp.xwis.net/utilities/XCC_Mixer.html

2. Place the converted files to <OpenRA root>/mods/<mod>/bits/ directory. On GNU/Linux and OS X the OpenRA root directory can be found with cat `which openra` | head -n2 | tail -n1 | awk '{print $2}' -.

3. Add entries for the files in music.yaml, notifications.yaml or voices.yaml. Definitions can be found in music.yaml, notifications.yaml and voices.yaml as well as scattered around in other files like weapons.yaml (REPORT: with .aud extension) and various traits in the rules folder.
