EDIT: Brood War music, spell/weapon sounds and a majority of Zerg unit sounds have been added. Instructions below.
Note: At no point should you delete any folders within the MPQ archives. These do not work the same way as normal folders. By replacing them, files that were already in the folder with different names to the files in the download will remain where the originally were. By deleting the folder first, you'll be deleting various sounds. Only replace MPQ folders with any of the downloads below.
13. Swapped all Thor sounds with Goliath and fixed Viking -> Wraith spawn sound.
12. Added death sounds for Zealot, Dark Templar and High Templar.
11. Added victory music.
10. Added various Protoss building alert sounds, Zerg building placement/cancel/destruction sounds, All observer sounds, Fixed marine gunfire tone, Added DT blade sounds and Scanner Sweep.
9. Swapped Hellion with Vulture.
8. Added DT warp in response.
7. Added Zergling attack sounds. This was delayed due to the original audio being difficult to find. Instead I recorded a new audio and used that.
6. Swapped Corruptor sounds with Devourer.
5. Because Mutas are the only unit with more than 9 response sounds, each one titled before the 10th has an extra 0 in front of it. I wasn't aware of this when naming them originally. Missing 0's have now been added.
4. Spell/weapon sounds link updated with siege tank entering/leaving siege mode fix.

Following my Client Language Swap, I decided to start a new project that'd swap as many of the SC2 voices as possible with the Brood War voices with some more MPQ editing.
Obviously I had to improvise with some units because they weren't there for BW, such as;
There were a few others I couldn't really find a suitable swap for, so I left as the default. These include Thor, Mothership, Hellion, Reaper and Marauder. Some of the advisor sounds were also left default as they didn't have warnings in Brood War for things such as minerals/gas depleted or game resumed.
I've triple checked all the units, but it took a lot of time, so odds are I missed something. If anyone notices a voice out of place, please let me know so I can update it.
You can either download one file with all races included, or if you'd prefer, specific races. All I've done for Zerg is the Overmind as all their unit sounds are in a different MPQ, but I'll probably work on those some day also.
For those of you who don't already know, you're going to need to download the MPQEditor. This is by no means advanced software, it just lets us open the files used to make SC what it is, and let us see what's inside. As well as edit them.
As always, do this at your own peril. MPQ editing is against the ToS. While there are a lot of people doing it without any reported bans such as Pzea's Stronger Team Colours, the Background Menu Customisation or my Ghost to Nova Model Edit, I'm not going to tell you there's no chance of getting banned for doing it because there's always a risk no matter what anyone tells you.
Go to your SC2 folder, Mods\Liberty.SC2mod and then open enGB.SC2assets with the MPQEditor (Just drag and drop it onto the editor). This might also be called enUS/ruRU/deDE/zhTW.SC2Assets or whatever. Depends on your region. There's also one in there called enGB.SC2Data. Make sure you don't mix them up. BACK UP YOUR enGB.SC2ASSETS FIRST INCASE YOU MESS UP or change your mind later.
After you've got that open, go to the folder "LocalizedData" inside. This will have the two folders "Facial" and "Sounds" within it. You're going to need to replace the "Sounds" folder with the one in the download if you want all races replaced. If specific races, open the Sounds folder and then put your specific download in there instead.
Music
If you want to add the Brood War music, go to SC2/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod, open the base.SC2assets with the MPQEditor, then go to Assets, Music and drop all of the files in the download below into that location. This adds menu music, in-game music and victory/defeat pop-up music.
This includes Siege Tank entering siege mode/attacks, all Probe sounds, Psionic Storm, Yamato Cannon, Stimpack/Marine gunfire, Medivac healing, SCV repairing and the Hellions flame swapped to Firebat.
Go to SC2/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod/base.SC2assets (the same one used for music) Open thay with the MPQEditor and navigate to Assets. Drop the extracted download there.
Seeing as all of Zergs unit sounds are kept in a seperate single place, unlike Terran and Protoss having their sounds and voices in different locations, I'm going to give Zerg their own individual download that includes all of their things in one (apart from the overmind which was posted earlier)
This includes Zerg units spawning, attacking, moving, drones, eggs, overlords etc. There are a few sounds left out for now, as well as Corrupter and Roach being left to default, but this covers quite a lot.
Go to SC2/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod and open base.sc2assets with the MPQEditor. Navigate to Assets/Sounds and drop the extracted download there.
Broodlord sounds were swapped with Guardian, Infestor with Defiler and Corruptor with Devourer due to their not being in Brood War.

I actually did this to my own mpq, although I did give some new sc2 units BW sounds Marauder attack: vulture attack sound (they both fire concussive grenades) Viking ground attack: Goliath ground attack Hellion: Firebat
I would upload my assets file, but I did tamper with the observer model back in your previous modding thread with nova
Also, when using mpq data on the stardat.mpq file, some of the .wav files are missing extensions. Any suggestions?
Edit: did you just add the unit voices, or did you add attack/death sounds too? I added the attacks and deaths and now killing marines is so much more gratifying

Male Viking portrait with a female Valkyrie voice/female Banshee with a male Wraith voice? I'd have to do portrait swapping for that also, which would make this take twice as long to explain how to do. Both units were covered quite well, I thought.
I was thinking about swapping Thor, but I'd miss "THOR IS HEEERE!" Not sure about Hellion -> Vulture, but I'll keep it in mind if I make any future modifications. Cheers.

Not all of the files titled in the MPQ are actually sound files, they're for something else, I didn't really check it out though. I was thinking about Marauder to Firebat, but like 90% of Firebats audios involve burning something which people probably wouldn't want.
And yeah, I did all the attack and death voices. I didn't swap the sounds of weapons firing though, those audios are located elsewhere in the SC2 MPQs and I didn't want to complicate things too much. I might work on gunfire etc in the future.

Firebat sounds work great with the hellion (even matches up with the portrait to an extent) Also, I left the BC attack alone. I'd imagine it'd sound fucked up with it's new rate of fire lol.
Edit: if you can tell me the directory/file names of the BW themes, I'd be eternally grateful

/palm Hellion -> Firebat never even occurred to me. I'll change that in a few days. I've got 20kb/s upload speed, so I'm not really lookin' forward to another 50mb for one unit right now ><

I'll start working on stuff like that later. Like I was saying, units that just make sounds but not actual voices such as all Zerg units or Protoss' Probe/Colossus have their files stored in a different MPQ, so I just wanted to get this one out of the way for now.
Dude this is sweet, o really hate the zerg sounds from BW and the sc2 souinds for them arnt terrible, so i won't use this but the terran one is so sick terran sounds in bw where the shit

Right now, the Zerg file only has the Overmind voices, all the actual units themselves still have the default SC2 sounds.

But when I think of broodwar, I think of how more awesome the marine rifle sounds are compared to sc2, or the Turrets sounds.
It would be so awesome if it was possible to swap sounds effects T_T
It's entirely possible, I just haven't begun work on gunfire/explosions etc yet.
Oh man, I can't wait til you do the Terran music! The BW soundtrack is a million times cooler than the sc2 one. I was so sad when i first played a game in sc2

Assuming I can find the original SC2 ones in the MPQs without any issues, I'll try get them uploaded within a week at most.

, is there a way to edit the attacking/transforming sounds? i've really liked the siege mode sound from BW
For BW siege, you just take the BW siege sounds (there are 2), edit them into one sound file for each order, and replace it inn the siege unit sound directory
On July 24 2011 16:05 hooberschmit wrote: wouldnt it make more sense if viking -> valkyrie banshee -> wraith thor -> goliath (maybe?) hellion -> vulture (also maybe?)
I think it would be better for Viking to get Wraith and Banshee to get Valkyrie. It would just be weird to have the banshee with a man voice and vice versa. But I agree with the rest.
I wish Blizzard would release a soundpack like this for the game so people could use the BW music and sounds (just like ticking a box in the sound options or something). =) Would be really cool!
the only part where i can see that this thing helps to cheat is the 'nuclear launch detected'. by right, if someone nukes you, you will only see the alert without the sound telling you that nuclear launch detected.
I just ctrl+v'd in the new "Sounds"-folder, and now my untis won't say anything at all.. I assume that I should've deleted the original "sounds"-folder, or am I dead wrong? I' asking here because I don't want to make this an even bigger mess.

Oh man I didn't even think about that. I think in SC2 you still get a sound, but just changing that sound alone would definitely been seen as cheating. Now that I'm thinking about it, could you change the Nydus and Nuke sounds to be something super loud and annoying? MPQ editing scares me.

I'm sorry for bumping my own question (and I'm very sorry for not following your advice and copying the original "Sounds"-folder, OP.

Yes, when you drop the unzipped download in, it should ask if you want to replace the old one. Just say yes and that should be it.

Not entirely sure what you mean by this. There's always an alert telling you a nuke has been detected. This hasn't change anything in regards to the function of the alert.

Something similar to this happened to one of my friends. He just reset the MPQ with his backup and tried again, then it worked fine. You can delete the original if you want, but if you're doing it right you should be getting a prompt to replace the original, so there should be no need. I assume you're actually extracting the folder from the download with winrar first, yes?

This might help. These are the stats for my Mediafire account, which only has files involving mpq editing uploaded to it. Every single person who downloaded from me had some way of contacting me, so if any of them had been banned, I wouldn't hear the end of it.

It didn't work, although all units from the robotics facility except for the Immortal are "voiced". All z-units were voiced.
After lurking for so long, I just had to register to thank you for this fantastic work. Although it's pretty depressing to notice how horrible the SC2 voices are compared to the old ones now that I can hear them in-game again. So, thank you.
Not really afraid of the possibility of being banned, hearing the overmind instead of that crappy new advisor alone makes it totally worth it.

This download doesn't effect any Zerg units, only the Overmind, and Immortal is the only unit it effects from the robo fac. I honestly have no idea what you're doing wrong :S if you want, you could try recording a video while you have a fresh working original MPQ in your folder, then adding the download to it and I'll see if I notice anything wrong.

I don't know what I've done wrong, in that case. The units are still silent, but like I stated previously, should I delete the current "sounds"-folder, or will it cause more problems?
I wrote about my original problem in the previous page.
Something similar to this happened to one of my friends. He just reset the MPQ with his backup and tried again, then it worked fine. You can delete the original if you want, but if you're doing it right you should be getting a prompt to replace the original, so there should be no need. I assume you're actually extracting the folder from the download with winrar first, yes?
Yeah, my problem was NOT making a backup, which was pretty fucking stupid.
Ye, I extracted the folder first. Is that a no-no?
Extracting is good. Not making a backup is bad. It reasons like this the OP reminds you to backup you're stuff in big bold capital letters >< Try just deleting the sounds folder and adding in the new one one more time. If it doesn't work remove the MPQ entirely, then you're going to need to run repair to get the original back, then for the love of god back it up first D:
I did apologize in my original post! TT__TT But ok, I'll delete the entire folder. Finger's crossed. (
Out of curiosity, what language is your client and are you using a Mac?
My language is english (UK) and no, Windows 7.
It didn't work, although all units from the robotics facility except for the Immortal are "voiced". All z-units were voiced.
This download doesn't effect any Zerg units, only the Overmind, and Immortal is the only unit it effects from the robo fac.

Indeed, if you remove the MPQ from your folder and run the Repair, it should replace it with a new fully functioning original. Make sure you do that before recording a video. No hurry either.
I just downloaded and did everything and the Terran and Protoss ones work fine but for some reason the Zerg ones didn't work. I used the "All" download instead of the individual races.

Zerg only has the Advisor sounds replaced with the Overmind, not the units themselves. I'll work on those later, but doing those isn't the same as units with actual voices.

Not really afraid of the possibility of being banned, hearing the overmind instead of that crappy new advisor alone makes it totally worth it.
Indeed, the SC2 Z advisor can get pretty annoying :// Unfortunately I couldn't replace everything because SC2 has more alerts than BW does, so you might still hear one or two of the originals. But it's still much more appealing overall :D

Actually I noticed that the Void Ray responds in a void ray voice when it's under attack instead of the Arbiter voice. Not sure if that's intentional or not.
Also a suggestion for a later version: Should the Phoenix's have the Corsair's voice? I feel that would be better since they have more of a Corsair role than of a Scout and since Corsair's were just a cooler unit I think a lot of people miss that =P

If you're able to follow the written instructions without any problems, the video isn't really that necessary. It's just me dropping the folder into the MPQ and then giving some working unit sound examples.
Just installed it and it's great. One thing though, the sound volume is quite low and you have to manually fiddle around with the sound settings to get it as loud as the original sounds. Other than that, it's fantastic! Keep up the good work.

I dunno what that's about, sounded okay for me. I didn't touch the volume of any of them, they should all be as they were in the Brood War client.
Could you, please, please, please pleaaase do this for the zerg units? I'll go 2base lair every game for mutas. Does this also change the sound for the attack? edit: Ok so it does, I neeeeed this for zerg :D

On July 24 2011 15:51 TheAmazombie wrote: This is awesome. Did you put in all the sounds, like the funny ones when you click them too much as well?
Indeed I did. It took a ridiculously long time. This is what I had to work with from the BW mpq files.
2895 totally untitled .wav files, which had to be categorised, named appropriately and then converted from .wav to .ogg.
Not to knock your work now, but there is a tool to extract all the sounds which places them in folders for the three races, sorted by unit.
Yeah, a friend pointed this out to me a few days ago. Pretty annoying, but there was a vague structure behind the default MPQ .wav's anyway. All Protoss voices are numbered 2056 - 2345, Terran 2346 - 2667 and Zerg 2668 - 2895. Then each units audio responses are next to each other within those numbers. Yeah, it would have saved me a ridiculous amount of time, but I got there in the end anyway.
For anyone who never played BW and went straight to SC2,
Zerg players, you should * DEFINITELY* do this. The in-game sounds for Zerg are by far the worst when compared to their BW counterparts. Just listen to the youtube video. The quality is great and these sounds are just plain better.
Hi all. For any fellow protoss like myself who would prefer the dragoon voices on stalkers, I switched around the sounds file so that's the case. I took whatever was on the stalkers (I think it's fenix, haven't played bw campaign in a while) and put it on immortals to balance it out.

I actually like the dragoon on the stalker. Makes more sense to me.

Notice that it says battle.net? Yep you can download it from battle.net (not sure if it's intentional or not).
http://classic.battle.net/sounds.xmls <- Use this to view what songs you can download. Also classic.battle.net has a tool under the Starcraft section that extracts all unit sounds and places them into folder (I know this was mentioned already but I'll mention it again since there are lots of goodies in the old battle.net site).
Though note that some songs may be a bit different (I think the Zerg one is different than the one you extract from MPQ. One of the zerg songs on battle.net site merges two songs into one file [or is it just the same song into one file?] I think while in the MPQ it's two separate files of one or two songs).

Dunno, maybe an error happened during archiving, I'll check
Also, for those wanting unit sounds (ie tank sieging), I'll try to upload it tomorrow unless teliko saves me the trouble

Just put it in, amazing stuff. It's as if that 'feel' sc2 was missing is gone.
I'm still waiting on the soundpack for marine+siege tank+muta sounds, but you're already a god in my book
I'm having trouble finding stuff like marine gunfire etc, but that could be because I'm half asleep right now. I'm in the stage of renaming/testing audios for siege tank, stimpack, yamato cannon and so on. It might not even be released tonight because between the zerg audios/weapons/music, I've been working on this stuff literally all day long. It's 6am here and goddamnit, I need a tea break.

BW->sc2 siege requires some editing BW siege has two parts, which I'll call "siege1" and "siege2" (sorry I forgot the file #'s) Sc2 has two parts as well, tanktosiege and tanktotank (inaccurate names, I know) You need to combine the BW sounds in both ways (siege1 followed by siege2, and vice versa), I used soundforge to do so. You will have 2 files (one for each order). Rename them accordingly and replace the files.

Cheers, but don't worry about it. All going well, everything should be finished in the next day or two.
I really need to figure out computers and files and all that, but once I get the assets file into the mpq editor, how do I replace the sounds? Just copy and paste or drag and drop or what? Or do I delete them and sub them in?

Indeed, once you've opened the file with the mpqeditor, you should be able to see a folder inside it called "Sounds". Drop the extracted file from the download into the mpqeditor and you should be prompted to replace. Say yes, and that should be that.

Just be sure you back up the mpq first, then OK any popups you get. If it doesn't work, just replace the mpq with your backup and I'll try figure out what's going on.
Alright at first I was just trying to use the wrong file (whoops) to get me that popup. Now that I've got the right file, dragging it to the MPQ won't do anything (I've got the sound file open on the MPQ and trying to drag the BW sounds I downloaded isn't doing anything)

Did you extract the download?
I thought I did, let me try again.
To extract a .zip folder, you need WinRar if you don't already have it.
know of any free hosting sites that can host gigs of space(mpq)? I'd imagine it would be easier for tl'ers just to drag and drop one file
Uploading MPQs is how things get outdated. When patches are released, MPQs are modified and the downloads will stop working. By teaching people how to do it by moding the MPQ directly, it'll never become outdated.

You can change the DT model. However it will be still be cloaked. I changed it to have an ultralisk model and now it is easier to see undetected dt's (though friends are like WTF when they see a cloaked ultra on my comp). You will still need detection/splash to attack it.

Besides, you still need detection, and it provides less aid than using macros (which people use but is "cheating" as well). The real cheating problem comes with maphackers and drophackers. Making it easier to see observers and dts will not get you into grandmasters. For more info see the model editing thread linked in the OP.

I'm in the process of swapping weapon sounds right now, and I've no interest in any form of MPQ editing that could bring one benefit over another in game. These are for enjoyment purposes only, not exploiting.

Cheating is cheating. I dont know how many times Ive lost because i couldent see the dt before it got into my base. You are given a edge that no other player has. This is the danger to modifying MPQs. If many people start doing what your doing then BLizzard will take measures to stop it. Your endangering people who want to MPQ edit for the fun of it by giving yourself an unfair advantage.

I didn't intend for it to be an exploit, but rather to test if it could be used as an exploit. It turns out it can be, but I don't have a practical way to restore the mpq as I have no backup.

Making it easier to see observers and dts will not get you into grandmasters. For more info see the model editing thread linked in the OP.
Cheating is cheating. I dont know how many times Ive lost because i couldent see the dt before it got into my base. You are given a edge that no other player has. This is the danger to modifying MPQs. If many people start doing what your doing then BLizzard will take measures to stop it. Your endangering people who want to MPQ edit for the fun of it by giving yourself an unfair advantage.
I didn't intend for it to be an exploit, but rather to test if it could be used as an exploit. It turns out it can be, but I don't have a practical way to restore the mpq as I have no backup.

You can change the DT model. However it will be still be cloaked. I changed it to have an ultralisk model and now it is easier to see undetected dt's (though friends are like WTF when they see a cloaked ultra on my comp). You will still need detection/splash to attack it.
You are aware thats cheating?

Can't do it in China, where internet speeds are abysmal. More importantly, I would lose every other mod I have on that mpq, including complete BW sounds for everything and custom models
If someone can upload dt models, that would work too.

Oh you're missing Observers, Colossus (by Reaver) and Warp prisim ( by Shuttle)! And how about the death sounds? I'd love to hear BW sounds of stuff dying! Specially Zerglings, Zealots, Dragoons... Marines

It's not the fact that no one can tell you're using it, it's that using it for a reason like that is still exploiting. It's no better than a maphacker, regardless if he gets caught or not.

Ya i did that but the image moved alot to the right so it kinda looks messy. If you dont have the time thats okey. Ive been trying to fix it myself but i dont know how to open a .dds file in photoshop.(if you even can) Ive also cant find the original image to do it myself.

Because units like the probe or indeed every single zerg unit don't have voices, just various beeps, squelches and vomiting sounds, they're located in a different mpq, so there's an extra step to get those done. Half of which I'm uploading as we speak.

I'm a little unsure as to where to navigate to in the Assets sections to replace the spells and weapons sounds. Do I just dump the new files in there or is it at a subfolder?
nvm, I put the contents in the same folder as the unit sounds and that got me confused.

People have, and will be, banned for using macros as well. This is cheating in the worst possible way. You are giving yourself an edge in the game by tampering with the game's core files, and then justifying it to yourself by saying "its not so bad, others do worse!".
I wish a mod would edit out all the posts about dark templar model editing it is CHEATING. It's also ruining a perfectly good thread for those of us that want to simply enjoy SC2 with traditional music/sounds.

I agree with this. Blizzard's not going to like seeing such things on TL. Hate to see this kind of innocent modding ruined by a few cheaters.

Only drag and drop the folders of the units you want (in this case the Templar and archon) in their respective folders in the proper directory, don't drag and drop the entire unit vos.

you're missing the point. many people have known of doing things like that before and just because its 'safe' doesn't mean its right. It's blatantly cheating. Its not just a simple 'mod' like music of game sounds. It's deliberately changing the game to benefit you over someone else through an unfair advantage. Using MPQ edits for this like DT changes is exactly why Blizzard makes it against the TOS, and will hopefully not (eventually) start file checking.
The same thing happened in WoW, many people harmlessly MPQ edited to change their character from UD to Human or Female to Male but others found more exploitative uses like terrain inconsistencies and blizzard fixed it.
Using the MPQ editing to exploit advantages other than being an outright cheat, draws negative attention to the 'innocent' MPQ editors and ultimately gets blizzard more involved.
This includes Zerg units spawning, attacking, moving, drones, eggs, overlords etc. There are a few sounds left out for now, as well as Corrupter and Roach being left to default, but this covers quite a lot.

I'm not saying dt/obs editing isn't cheating (I did it to test the effects, then turns out I had no dt backup and just left it edited), what I'm saying is that this exploit has been out for a while, and as of now blizz has also taken no action. If you're so worried about the negative attention, the model editing thread should have been deleted a long time ago.
this works like charm and its pretty freaking awesome!! I have it for all races and zerg and protoss sounds so nice now... no more winging Karigan "need more mineraaaaaaaals"

hmm these don't work for me. all the other mpq sounds have worked flawlessly. I wonder whats.. up..
Are you sure you extracted it to the right place? Can anyone else confirm that they aren't working for them either?
I'm pretty sure I did. I've installed all of the other changes easily and have MPQ edited back in my WOW days. I've tried multiple times with zerg sounds, I'm not sure whats up. When I play the files individually from the ZIP, they sound perfect. Though they are missing muta/zerg attack!
whats weird is when i play the files directly from the MPQ it works just fine the only time they aren't working is in game.

This seems to happen to people sometimes. Just replace your MPQ with the backed up version and try again. I just downloaded it myself and tried it on a fresh MPQ, so it defiantly seems to be working fine.

SHIIIIIIIIT! Did I say units? I meant Sounds. Sorry guys! It wouldn't have replaced anything, so the MPQ should still be fine. Go back to units and delete the sounds you just dropped down, then drop the download to 'Sounds' instead. My bad.

I've just gone through the MPQ file and found the SC2 zergling attack sounds in the sounds/zerg/sharedeffects folder. Not only is this absent from the file you've uploaded but there are no files that contain BW ling attack sounds. Maybe you misworded your OP when you said it included Zerg units spawning, attacking, moving, drones, eggs, overlords etc.? Maybe you meant these were excluded? That or you uploaded the wrong file or with some missing files? Hope this helps.
edit: actually, I found the sc2 ling attack sounds in the sounds/zerg/zerglings folder as well has sharedeffects so that point was invalid. The rest stands however.
This looks amazing but I'm going to hold off until the zerg is completed. What you have done so far is amazing, and thank you for doing this. Can't wait.
EDIT: Downloading the update now... Sorry. ^^
EDIT: Can't seem to get it working...

By 'Zerg', I was referring to general Zerg units. Not the Zergling specifically. I've yet to find the attack sound for Zergling.
Having no Zergling attack sound in the download will have no effect on the default sound. If there's no replacement for a sound in the folder, it'll stay the same in the MPQ itself.

Ah my mistake then. Oh and I noticed that you have the BW ling death sounds in the file but I'm getting the SC2 version in game. I've tried restoring to the back MPQ and did a fresh install with no success.

I don't have any sound for lings attack, roach attack, building completion, muta attack- none at all. I just did the steps, and it appears to have replaced standard sounds as well.
I don't know if I did something wrong or what, but I didn't back up the file on accident either
Does anyone else have a problem with the music? I have transferred over the sc1 music and verified it is there but for some reason it continues to play the sc2 music instead. Much thanks if anyone has a fix or knows something ive done wrong.
Sc1 music is playing for protoss and zerg, but I cant get the terran music from sc1 to play
EDIT: Figured out the problem, I deleted all the mission music and everything seems to be running fine now

I can see what's wrong with the mutas. For some ridiculous reason, muta responses are titled 'Mutalisk_Yes00.ogg' when every other single unit in the game only has one 0 -_- I'll update that now. However, the fact that this is effecting your roachs or buildings makes no sense at all. There are no files for roaches in the download, and buildings are in a completely different section of the MPQ, so it can't have effected them. Restore your MPQ, if it happens again let me know.

In SC2, Zealots attack with their left and right blades, whereas in BW they only attacked with their right. If people wanted, I could still add it, but it'd sound fairly dull now that they attack faster.

At no point did I say to delete an old folder. Would I be correct in saying you downloaded the Terran specific file? By deleting the folder first, you deleted all of Zerg and Protoss' sounds. Folders within the MPQ archive do not work the same way as normal folders. By replacing the folder, sounds that were already there will not be removed if there was no file in the download with an identical name.

The path is not located in enGB.SC2assets, it is located in base.sc2assets. As I've explained before, sounds within engb.sc2assets are only for units that physically talk. Any unit that just makes sounds, i.e. every single zerg unit, is located in base.sc2assets.

I need more information than that, because it seems to work for others. What region is your SC2 client? Are you using a Mac? Are you using the MPQ editor that was linked or a different one?
Introducing zealot sounds. Enjoy the BW steel sounding blades and grunts? Well look no further! Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?x594r3mi2kobez4 Extract the protoss folder to the directory assets\sounds in the base file
i'm using the Mpqeditor 64bit, my sc2 is from euro, i have downloaded the muta fix one and i followed the guide(this is the third time that i try to make it work, but it doesn't...), it work only if i delete first, the directory of each units(like deleting zergling directory for example) and put in this empty directory, the file from the one that i downloaded, then repeat for the other units.

You're asking for a 2.5gig file to be uploaded. Just remove the mpq from your SC2 directory and run the Repair.exe

Just download the very first mediafire link and the mediafire link under the "Music" title and follow the instructions included in each of those sections.

Each section has it's own download for Voices, Spell/weapon sounds, music and Zerg units. Follow the instructions under each section. Zerg has some things not included, like ling attack sounds, but it's pretty well covered.

You could also, at a stretch, use Lurker sounds for Roaches.
I could do Corrupter -> Devourer, sure. I was already looking at Roach -> Lurker and thought it'd be too unsuitable.

No. One of the downloads involves an individual MPQ, while 2/3 of the rest require different sections of another MPQ. If I put them all in to one download, people would extract them to the same MPQ and complain that they aren't working.

Hey guys, would you prefer the new sc2 unit sounds when they are under attack (ie the marine says "we could use some help here", tank says "I'm in deep") or the BW generic "your forces are under attack" for every unit?

I was looking around for the Zergling attack audio and still couldn't find it, so I ended up just running BW and frapsing them attacking shit and editing the audio to work with SC2, so, here you go.
New version for Zergs. Added Zergling attacking sound.
Go to SC2/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod and open base.sc2assets with the MPQEditor. Navigate to Assets/Sounds and drop the extracted download there.
I'm aware of the DT warp in and will take care of that later, but there isn't much I can do with Stalker warp in. Stalkers audio was replaced by Dragoon Fenix, which doesn't have a "Unit Ready" audio.

Because they're unorganised and named numerically instead of having an appropriate way to determine which file is what sound.

Eh... Are you sure? There can only be a total of 16 ling attack sounds, and there were 16 in the download. On the left there's the BW ling attacks and the right are the SC2 ling attacks. Both have exactly 16, and it's working perfectly fine for me.

No windows 7
Try running the MPQEditor and manually locating the MPQ file, and make sure you're using the correct version for your OS. i.e. x32, x64.

H'm... Try going to your Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program, then scroll down to .SC2Assets, click 'Change Program' and then locate the MPQEditor and select that.

Don't back up your MPQs within the sc directory, and don't rename them. Keep them safe in some other folder on your desktop or something.
meh i do have it on my desktop too (not renamed). renaming them doesn't matter because i can open up the enus1.sc2assets with mpqeditor. ah well. i appreciate all your work though. very nostalgic

Were you running either the MPQEditor or SC while the other was already running? You were saying the sounds stop working when you opened base.sc2assets with the mpqeditor. Opening the file doesn't do anything, so that shouldn't even be possible :S

Building sounds require some improv.
What I have: Rax=academy Factory=machine shop Port=control tower Ghost academy=covert ops Orbital=Comsat Fusion core=phy lab Other buildings simply carry over

The links in the OP will always be up to date. Each download has an explanation on what it's for. I can't really have a download that has everything together, because different parts of the download will need to be installed to different MPQs which'd just end up confusing people. Plus if I wanted to make any minor changes, it'd take me a year to upload with my beastly 20kb/s u/l speed.

I'll be taking care of buildings soon enough, I just want to make sure I fill in all the gaps I might've missed with the current work before I end up creating even more for myself.
Also, I haven't got a clue how SVN works. Never even heard of it until now. I googled it and downloaded something from http://subversion.apache.org/ which then refused to install, then I tried finding relevant binaries and it just brought me to a bunch of links which I'm not terribly encouraged to understand at 2am D:

Add to the first post different variations of Zerg overmind. Also I fixed Queen voices in SC1BW Overmind, and I did that simply: replaced queen replies with other Overmind replies and sounds. Also, there are echo'ed version of SC1 Overmind and other versions, that are similar to Zasz/Daggot Overminds.
yes sure, its only in the main menu. in game its perfect
things that i noticed at protoss: - stalker/fenix voice is not loud enough (zealot is alot louder) - same goes for immortal/dragoon voice - music should be louder......i have it on 100% and its only medium loud
stuff thats missing(maybe u are working on that anyways): - original attack sounds for all protoss units - original death sounds for all protoss units - voices that the units make when they attack (zealot and archon) - observer sounds
i had the feeling that quite a bit of those sounds are differently loud, maybe u can check that. thx for the effort...its really cool
You might replace the Marauder or reaper sounds with a firebat, I personally would be really interested to see that, I know he talks about fire but I still feel the voice fits to the marauder.
Are you planning to add reaver sounds because there are 2 possibles, Sentry or colossus?
I think the sound I missed the most from bw when i started playing sc2 was the mutalisk attack sound. It went from a very distinct sound to pretty much nothing. I feel the same way bout hydra attack.
It has been so much more fun playing with the old BW sounds, thank you so much! I'm still waiting eagerly for the mutalisk attack sound. If it's possible of course.

Firebat sounds bad on anything that isn't a hellion; it just doesn't fit
Fixed the marine gunfire tone and Dark Templar blade sounds. Added Scanner Sweep sound. Added probe death and all Observer sounds. Added Protoss building alert sounds (i.e. the sound that plays when you click on it.) for Cybernetics Core, Forge, Robo Facility and Twilight Council. Added Photon Cannon attack.
OHHH MY GOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!! So good, thanks for sharing this!
The zealot sounds SOOO hardcore. SC1 zealot sounds like he's ready to kill 50 zerglings. WAYYY better than SC2 zealot.
The HT is also totally ballin, as well as the immortal... I don't think the BW carrier voice matched the SC2 carrier model very well. SC1 carrier model was too badass.

Yeah, there were a lot of sounds I was kinda hesitant to bring over because even though it'd be how it was in BW, they sometimes don't really suit the same stuff in SC2. But if I leave any minor thing out, someone notices and asks for it to be put back in, so have to get as many details as possible :///
Can you add my Zerg announcer variations into first post? Because your overmind is half fulled by queen quotes. I've fixed that with doubled/renamed overmind replies and interface sounds.
I've noticed that certain sounds are really low compared to the SC2-native ones.
I haven't checked every sound so far, but sounds that are clearly quieter are:
Siege Tank - Everything except speech (deployment, siege shots, undeployment...) Dark Templar - The attack sound. Slightly lower than other attacks, probably lower than the original attack. In battles it seems to almost disappear completely. Battlecruiser - Yamato cannon sounds are very quiet (charge and fire).
On another note, it could be that SC2 has very low building sounds in general, but in case that's not true then the Protoss building sounds are also a bit low.
Apart from that, the Ghost gets two death sounds. One of them is the familiar BW scream, but the other one is completely different from both BW and SC2. I have no idea what this one is, and I'm not sure whether it should have been included.

I still hear some sounds of sc2(example the marine death sounds), perhaps you didn't edit it correctly? this occour not always but sometimes

protoss death sounds(zealot the most that i missed and the dragoon of course) protoss attack sounds(like archon and interceptor) protoss buildings sounds
terran buildings sounds
can u put the goon death sound to the stalker and immortal, and goon attack sound to stalker?

The marine death works perfectly for me, and I don't even have to two latest updates at the moment due to vacation.
Also the newest update says it has the Protoss building alerts...so.
@OP: I still think you should make the Phoenix the Corsair instead of the Scout =P
its kinda hard to do that because the corsairs sounds are not in the sound files from Starcraft. Atleast not with the others.....maybe they are somewhere different but i dont know where
After taking a closer look into victory/defeat music, I've come to learn that SC2 doesn't actually have a reliable source for that music, thus making it impossible to add each races victory music. I'll add a screen shot below that shows exactly what I mean. The titles in red are what you would expect to be the victory music, but they're actually empty. The real victory music is selected randomly between the titles in green.
So, I'm going to leave it up to you what BW races victory music you want, if any. You can listen to them all at http://classic.battle.net/window.shtml. Personally, I find the Protoss' to sound most rewarding, but whatever has the highest demand will be chosen.

Oh ok, I wasn't aware of all that =P
@Above me: No, I don't think that sound fits with the marauder. I think it's fine now.
I've tested it, Teliko. But those Victory/Lose music files are not listed in sc2-data files.
P.S. Also, I vote for Zerg themes Protoss themes reminds me about WarCraft 3
I know. It's weird, but for some reason a victory triggers audios such as UI_Stinger_AchievementFull01.ogg instead of the more obvious sounding TerranVictory.ogg or whatever it was. I dunno why Blizzard decided to make it so awkward, but there you go.
I've tried to add to those files adress link to victory/lose themes, but it's still not work. Maybe you can find something?
On screenshot - it's a base.sc2data -> Gamedata -> SoundData.xml

Problem When you're on score screen, it will mess with battle.net start theme. So maybe next time it will be good for silence delay for bnet start theme? Or other ideas?
Alrighty, Protoss unsurprisingly won. This music update only provides Protoss BW music for victory as every race. If people want, I'll change the loss music in future. This could very well be my last update for a while. I'm going on vacation for a month in the morning and will be spending significantly less time on TL. I'll try post updates whenever I get a chance or get bored, but for a majority of the time I'll be either partying or recovering from partying, followed swiftly by partying some more.

The reason this doesn't include a fix for Dragoon -> Immortal death is because their sound is used as a shared protoss explosion effect, they don't have their own unique death sound, so for all I know it could also interfere with another unit/building etc. I'll take a closer look at it later and see what I can do.
Read this carefully, because this is going to have different results than what people are expecting. I'm aware that I didn't include the viking -> wraith "Unit Ready" sound, and that's because when a wraith spawns, he says "Wraith reporting for duty." Do people actually want to have it saying the name of a different unit? In which case, would you also want me to swap Thor for Goliath sounds? Goliath also saying the name of his own unit rather than Thor when he spawns.

Using the converter only depends on what sound you want it to replace. If it's for the Stalker/Immortal death, you probably shouldn't need it. If you want to replace the Immortals death, you need to go to base.sc2assets/assets/sounds/protoss/sharedeffects/explosions. Here there are 20 audio files. You're going to need to listen to the Immortal death sound and find the identical matching explosion amongst those 20 files and rename/replace the download accordingly, then hope that the sound wasn't used for something else important. If you want to use it for the stalker death, go to engb.sc2assets/localizeddata/sounds/protossunitVO/stalker and replace the death sound from there.
Also, all the sounds are in the download, so they should be working find, and they are for me. Try reapplying.
try to kill your own zealot, you will see that sometimes the death sound doesn't appear
"engb.sc2assets/localizeddata/sounds/protossunitVO/stalker and replace the death sound from there"
i have noticed that, for example , zealot have five death sound named 01, 02, 03 ecc, but they are all the same, instead stalker have only one death sound, 00, i replace it with the goon sound that you gave me, but does not work

By DEFAULT they only make death sounds sometimes. That has nothing to do with me. If you use the original MPQ, they'll still only make the death scream sometimes. Did you rename the one I gave you for stalker?

I'm posting this with my mouth wide open, aghast at your rotten attitude. It stinks. Your sense of entitlement is nothing short of staggering. Who are you to demand anything from Teliko? He is doing this as a favour to you - a bit of fun for you as a community to enjoy together. What right do you think you have to treat this thread as your list of wants and wishes for you and you alone?
Have you not read a single word in his guides? Have you not read his informative, concise and intuitive blog detailing exactly how to go about doing this for yourself? Are you seriously that incapable of mustering up an ounce of your own initiative and having a go yourself? You need to pick up on things as you go along.
Step away from the screen for a few minutes, have a look at yourself - then go back through this thread and read all your posts, do you see how you are coming across? You need to distance yourself from this selfish, demanding and disgustingly ungrateful persona. These are real people. Learn some manners. Get some respect.
And for once in your life, try something for yourself before you come running to the nearest person you can find, with your latest trivial desires that you must have immediately - everything else can take a backseat as far as you're concerned. Your pleasure is paramount. Your pleasure is priority. Your pleasure has no perspective. Now go; leave Teliko to do his work for those who actually appreciate him. You are certainly not wanted here.

Consider reading the post above you. Teliko has given you everything you wanted, and you've yet to thank him once, just demand more. He clearly ran a vote to see what people wanted for Thor and they wanted Goliath, so he gave the majority what they wanted. If you don't like his updates, don't download them.
i'm not demanding anything, i wanted to point out that the goliath quote for the thor is not right, thath's it. and no, i will not read the post above, he did not understand the post quoted; and why i could say thanks? i have not forced Teliko to make the swap, it was his decision, i only remind him the things that are missing.

From what I can make out, he understood it perfectly fine. And are you really looking for a reason as to why you should thank someone after they put this amount of time in to something like this entirely free? You're obviously using it yourself, and he didn't ask for anything in return. Seems like a good reason to thank someone.

Remove the MPQ from your sc2 directory and run repair. And next time someone writes "back up your mpq" in big bold underlined capital letters in the OP, you should consider doing it.

Thanks for the feedback :D As much as I hate to support the use of a Mac, you could get both copies working on it if you wanted. Just swap the backed up MPQs with the original data back into your SC2 directory whenever you want to play with the normal sounds etc.
I think you're the only other Irish member I've seen on TL that isn't someone I know irl. Not sure if the majority of Ireland are up to the standards of RTS games. Most of us just play things like CoD (A game acronymed after a fish, need I say more?) or console game.

Again Teliko, thanks a lot.
Yeah, it's totally possible. Nothing personal, but I don't really want to make it myself when there'll be a lack of people interested in it considering the amount of time it'd take, but if you understand the concept behind how I did all this, it'd be pretty simple to do yourself.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod and open enGB.SC2ASSETS with the MPQ editor, then go to LocalizedData\Sounds\ProtossUnitVO. The announcer sound for 'Units under attack' is in the folder Executor and is called Alert_ProtossForcesUnderAttack.ogg.
The audio you're looking to replace for each unit follows the format *unit*_Help00.ogg, so for example Stalker_Help00.ogg, Phoenix_Help00.ogg and so on. There are one of these per units folder. Just copy the Alert_ProtossForcesUnderAttack.ogg like 10 times and rename each one with relevance to each unit and then replace the original in each folder.
It'd be similar for Terran and Zerg units if you're interested in doing it for them too. If you get stuck, let me know.

It's not legal. But Blizzard don't ban people because of this. It's on your own risk, but the risk is quite low (In case Blizzard changes his mind).

It wouldn't patch properly with the modified mpq files, so i put my old backup ones back. After it was finished patching, i put the ones with the sc1 sounds in once again, and then my screen looked like this:
Maybe just putting back the entirety of the mpq files doesnt work. I might have to try the whole process once again.

This mod doesn't interfere with the models in any way, I can't really think of any reason for this to cause that. Did you keep the mpqeditor open or something?

Nope. All i did was take out the edited mpq files and put the originals back so it could patch. After the patch was applied, i put the edited mpq files back in, and thats when the artifacting occured.

What region are you playing on and what sc2 music is still playing? This is designed to replace the old music, so it can't all still be there. It's possible that some of the audio files have alternate names on different regions.
Great mod! I have noticed one issue. The zergling attack sound seems to play both the sc2 sound and the sc1 sound. Don't know if anyone else experiences this.
Wow! Just wow! I can't believe I never saw this before.
I have to say, I didn't play BW before i played SC2, but once i gave it a try i LOVED the sounds from it. So much cooler! I'm still astounded that this exists, I am going to have to try this when I get home. Thank you so much!
If there were a reputation system on this board I would +rep you.

The funny thing is after watching the video demonstration, I completely forgot what the SC2 units sounded like. SC1 is permanently embedded in my brain.
I know you said that there was no Dragoon Fenix warp in sound, so it's not in this mod, but is there a way to make the warp-in sound just a regular Dragoon Fenix sound for the Stalker warp-in?
Hearing the original Stalker voice ruins my BW immersion
thanks so much for taking the time to go through with this, I tried multiple times to do the same thing but the most I ever managed to finish was 3/4 of the terran units and bw music before wanting to go do anything else I could think of
omg I miss the sc1 sounds. Seriously miles ahead of any of the SC2 sound effects. Just wondering if anyone, since july or so when this was posted, been banned for something like this?
damn, i can't put the goon dead sound in the stalker folder, because blizzard decide that stalker, immortal and colossus, should have the same destruction sounds of the buildings, how lame...

Hundreds of people are using this mod, thousands using all my other mods. The only error that's ever occurred is the patch bug which everyone has been warned about and told to backup their game files in case it happens to them. Any other issue that arises is because the person attempting to mod, in this case you, fucked up.
When I tried this I didnt realize you werent supposed to delete the current sound files that were in there... and I did but then I put in the new files I downloaded, opened up starcraft, and the original sounds were still there. So then i figured I would just put back the assets file that I had saved somewhere, start over, and try again... then I realized I accidentally saved the data file ;_;
So am I putting in the BW sounds incorrectly? Or do I have to run a repair and start all over?

If you mean enGB.SC2Data, then unfortunately yes. Not sure how you deleted sounds out of it when there aren't any in it, though.

No, when I opened the enUS.SC2Assets in the editor, I deleted the zerg sounds and put in the ones that I downloaded. But now the whole assets file isnt in the sc2 folder anymore, so I guess I deleted it :| I ran a repair and it said it couldn't fix anything. Nothings wrong though, so far- everythings running fine.

Haven't tried that before so not quite sure, but go for it. As long as you back everything up, trial and error can never do you harm.
To bump for a response hopefully, I just wanted to say that everything isn't right. When a stalker comes out of a gateway, it first says what a stalker would say and then it would have a different voice. Same for many other units, what they say when they come it is still original but everything else is different.
Nifty just wish it was easier and more convenient to do. Why could blizzard not include both sets of music with a checkbox in options to play original music or starcraft 2 ones.

Isn't better replace it instead muting and removing?
Indeed, completely removing them sounds silly, they're still needed tactically. Muting them just makes it awkward to play properly. Your work though I guess, do what you want.

First off: mad props for all the work! <3 Is there a way of ADDING the SCBW music to SC2 instead of REPLACING the SC2 music? Most of the BW music I prefer (especially Terran), but SC2 has some really nice dark electro stuff for Zerg and I don't really want to lose that.

Thanks - I tried it and that worked....... unfortunately it didn't work for me. As a matter of fact, playing with the BW music reminded me of the biggest failing of SC2: it simply lacks the darkness of Broodwar. I replaced the unit-sounds as well and somehow it just doesn't fit. The graphics of SC2 are just too colourful. As a game, I do enjoy SC2 more than BW. But when I was playing Broodwar... well, I wasn't playing just a game.
I've copied the .ASSETS files back to their original directories and SC2 is back to the way it was. But I do want to thank you Teliko: I've got a week off uni until the new semester starts. I may just spend some of that time revisiting a time when Tassadar and the Overmind were still alive.

Got really confused by the start of your post when you said it worked but didn't work for you xD But yeah, I get you. As pleasantly nostalgic as it can be to have the BW effects mixed in, it can be distracting when SC2 is just a completely different game.

take them from the sound pack of BW, or just download the file that i posted in pages 25, they completed all the sounds
i noticed, that the sounds experience of starcraft 2 can be much better if you just make that any units/or structure have only one sounds, blizzard made several sounds for every units, just remove them all minus the one that you like(repeat for every units in the game), and you will get a better sounds without replacing anything, it's an alternative metod to have a better sounds overall, without change to much the consistency of the files
for example corruptor get like 5-6 death sounds, i have maintained only the one that i like, the rest removed, and now it's much better, you can clearly know when he died, without the confusion of before

I've put a LOT of time in to trying to work out what the cause of that problem is, but I still have no leads. It's really annoying, there's no reliable reason for it. Sometimes it's US people, sometimes it's EU. Sometimes it's people who install with the CD, sometimes it's people who installed via download. It's even happened to me on various reinstalls when I fuck something up beyond repair, and then separate installs didn't trigger it. I literally have no leads for the source of the problem and it's driving me insane :<

So you didn't get the patching bug, it just didn't work? Seems like the files were put in the wrong place. When you dropped the files from the download into your clients MPQ, were you prompted to replace previous files, or did they just drop into the MPQ without any question asked?

The threadmaker answered that exact question in this very forum page (26). Look around a bit before asking questions.
Hey I installed this and I am loving it so far, but you missed a few sounds - so far I can only think of the dragoon dying noise (beep bee-beep), some of the unit attacking noises (like zealots and dragoons). Any way you could add these?

I haven't heard of the same client sometimes working and sometimes not working, it seems to be that each client either always or never gets the patching bug. So if it caused you to patch once, assuming you did everything right, it'll probably patch every time.

download mine, it's a complete package on page 25(actually i have a better version on my pc, that cover ALL sounds)
For all those that have troubles with the too low sounds, just set "stereo" in the audio department

Some protoss units, especially the Archon, every zerg unit and the zerg announcer just sound terrible in SC2 so I'd like this... If only there were no risk in it. The Immortal sounds really awesome though, much better than the dragoon who sounds pretty bad imo. Why don't you give the stalker the voice of the corsair? I know the corsair has a bit of flying sounds but apart from that it's great. Fenix just doesn't fit at all and imo it's also pretty annoying like the Stalker's voice. Don't you think the Void ray already has a very good voice? You could just leave it and give Arbiter's to the mothership.

dragoon pretty bad?? i now it's subjective but still...all BW units sound awesome too me and not just the quote, but also attack and death sounds too. anyway i have changed roach with devourer from BW, and it sound pretty good, they are both kind of a cockroach
I replaced all the music files with the ones I downloaded and it still didn't change anything. Am I doing something wrong? The download files have SC2 on them too so I don't know wtf.
does this still work for you guys? since the new patch with the 'preparing game data' windows popping up, it somehow reverts the mpq files to the old state
Hearing the BW zerg sounds once again shows how bad the sound department has done their job at SC2. It's just horrendous how they went with 'generic uncharacteristic' sounds rather than very clear distinctive sounds that suit the units. Best example is the hydralisk attack sound. Sounds awesome in BW, but in SC2 it's just a hissing sound... so cheap...
I hope they redo all the Zerg sounds in HotS, but I fear they'll go for the lazy route...
agreed, bw sounds so much better than sc2 though there are some pretty decent ones in sc2. but the majority just sounds as you mentioned ''cheap''
... but hell, that mpq editing doesnt work for me anymore or rather the new launcher just patches the files to original state help on this one is much appreciated!
music and voice replace does not work anymore because the game will now always check and auto update the gamefiles to the stock ones (patch 1.5 "streaming data" feature)
I have this great idea! IF you like playing Brood War, go play the actual game and stop making SC2 a different game. I'm getting so sick of this absolutely nonsensical BW nostalgia. Seriously.

You know what's nonsensical? The fact that you don't want people to have more fun playing SC2 by sound swapping. If a bunch of people change the unit sounds and music in their game it literally doesn't affect you at all; you wouldn't even know you were playing someone who has sound swapped. I suppose people's nostalgia and posts in this thread are an example of *if you don't like it, don't read it.* BTW, SC2 is not a completely different game. BW is the foundation for SC2. What has reached the point of childish is you and your signature.

Imagine Sc1 broodwar with the 3-D graphics, the ability the control more than 12 units at a time and the insanely better unit pathing from Sc2. Not to mention how much less laggy Sc2 Battlenet is.

I can't play it because I suck, but I think the sound effects are way better in BW. Does that mean I'm childish?

First learn to read. It is Starcraft: Brood War and it is Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Guess what, they both have Starcraft name. I find it funny how you play Sc2 if you think BW and Sc2 should be different. Do you not use marines,zerglings,drone,hydra,mutalisk,zealot and etc because they remind you of BW and they shouldnt be in there since it is two different game? I dont think so. This mod is just modifying sound for personel use, it doesnt effect you in anyway. +Also upcoming Hots has more BW style units. Im guessing you would not buy it because it is more like BW?
And rofl. "Go play BW if you dont like sc2. There is reason why BW is RIP" Isn't that contradicting what you said? You're telling me to play BW when it's dead? If it is dead then how would I play the game in the first place?
I just watched the video in the op and never realized how much better the sounds from BW seems to fit (not a fact, my opinion). I mean i always did like the BW sounds alot never imagined they would fits so welll just ontop of SC2. To bad i missed the chance of testing it.
Given that hots has means to choose your language in client there is a small chance blizzard will offer this as a feature in the future, but I highly doubt it.

Shame that this doesn't work anymore. Loved the old terran sounds much better than the new ones. My wish for hots would be to have these sounds be rewards in the leveling system but that's pretty unlikely

I assume this works for HotS..? I followed the steps for zerg but in Swarm rather than Liberty. When I tried dragging the zerg file into the MPQ editor it doesn't seem to be a valid command. Has anyone succeeded with this in hots? Thanks!
This should be locked. Hate to necro bump but everybody goes through all the trouble just to have nothing work because after 1.5.0 you can't modify the files.
