It's still possible to do this, although it takes a little more work. I'm going to post a little guide here. You can replace any sound in the game using this method. For fun, my first project was replacing nuke sounds with "REAVER REAVER REAVER", Day9's scream, and "terrible, terrible damage", viewable here:

Do this all at your own risk. Editing MPQ's requires some competence with computers and is probably against the ToU/EULA. I'm not responsible for whatever happens to you, your account, or your installation.

Preparation

1) Open your SC2 folder.

2) Navigate to Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod.

3) CTRL+Click enUS.SC2Assets and base.SC2Assets.

4) Copy and paste them to a safe folder (this'll take a few minutes).
(note: this step is to ensure that should anything go wrong with your editing, you will have the original MPQ files to work with. Also, I'm not sure how patching will affect this, so it's probably a good idea to swap the original MPQs back before applying a patch.

5) Download an MPQ editor. The best one I've found is here: http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html

6) Prepare any sound files you want to use in the swap. If your file has the wrong extension, Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/) is a great free tool you can use to easily record and edit audio files (you'll also probably need it to raise the volume on your audio since otherwise it's too quiet ingame).

I'll be writing the rest of the guide to walk you through applying the SC1 sound patch found at the beginning of this thread.

Editing

1) Fire up your MPQ editor and navigate to Liberty.SC2Mod\base.SC2Assets. Navigate in the side bar to Assets\Sounds\Protoss\Archon.

2) Open the sound pack. Navigate to Assets\Sounds\Protoss\Archon.

3) Drag all the files from the folder to the MPQ editor. If you did it right, a popup saying "Rules for adding files to MPQ" should appear. Just click OK. Afterwards, click "Yes All" (the old files are being overwritten).

4) Repeat for all the other files. Everything in the Assets\... directory is in base.SC2Assets. Once you're done with that, close it in the editor (it automatically saves). Everything in the LocalizedData folder is handled in enUS.SC2Assets (or the appropriate languageCOUNTRY combination for your localized copy).

5) Be sure not to launch SC2 until you have completely closed your MPQ editor. If you've done it correctly, the sounds should be swapped.

6) If you want to use your own files not included in the sound pack, be aware that in order for the swap to work, the replacement sound file must have the same name and extension as the original one. This means .mp3's won't work where .ogg's are needed, etc. If you need help on this, go ahead and post in the this thread or PM me or whatever.

Hope you all enjoy! I've been running SC1 sounds for about a day and it's so nice to hear the old marine guns again.

I thought it would be possible with MPQ editing, but yea the Terms of Service and what not might be breached.

I really which Blizzard would just give us the ability to mod little things like this so we wouldn't have to be criminals in their eyes

PS: I still love you big times for writing up the MPQ guide.

Haha it's no problem. Yeah, of course even more control over stuff like this would be nice, but when you make this sort of thing legal all of a sudden you have people ripping music etc. from the game, and there go the soundtrack sales! That's only one reason; I'm sure there are plenty more my non-corporate-minded self isn't thinking of.

PS: Post in this thread and keep it bumped if you liked it. Most people probably don't expect a guide at the end of 14 full pages.

Of course it's possible; you'd just need to track down the BW music pack and then it'd be as simple as renaming and adjusting extensions if necessary.

Thanks for the guide petergibbons. I want wanted to increase the variety of the music by adding the SC1 music...it's too bad they have made it so difficult.
