DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if this is legal/violates TOS or similiar. Use at your own risk.
I'm doubt I am the only one who wants to try the game with korean sounds. I searched for a few keywords prior to making this guide, but I couldn't find anything specific. I did find this thread, but I disliked how it solves this. Furthermore, when I told a friend I was getting the korean sounds as well. So I thought I would share with everyone how I converted my EU client to korean sounds. I did NOT update the korean client from which I got the sounds from to the latest version before I extracted the sound files (if this matters). I tried activating all sounds prior to creating this thread, and all sound files seem to be replaced.
Why: I feel this guide is interesting for ”westerners” wanting to try the korean sounds, either to pretend to be as good as the koreans or if they just want some variation on the sounds they hear every time they play. BUT I also feel this can be interesting for koreans coming to foreign tournaments. Or, if you just want the sound files as samples for something (like a song or similiar) you can just download the one you need.
Step 0 – Close SC2: Just in case – don't have Starcraft II running when doing this.
(Optional) Step 0.5 - Backup: If you want to feel safe, you can always make a backup copy on the file we will modify in this guide: Starcraft II\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\enGB.SC2Assets (or enUS.SC2Assets if US client). If anything goes haywire, you can always just go back to the original file.
Step 1 – Download an MPQ Editor: Download an MPQ Editor. I personally used this one:
http://www.brothersoft.com/games/starcraft-2-ladik-s-mpq-editor.html.
Step 2 - Get the sounds: Download and extract the korean sounds. I uploaded them to Megaupload and Mediafire. I have included the English ”Nuclear Launch detected!” alerts for each race in the korean package, if you would like to keep those (see Step 4) in English. I also included the korean version of the nuclear warning, so you can learn to recognize the warning when it is played in-game.

I also uploaded the english sounds if you want to revert back to that:
EN sounds: [url blocked] .
or http://www.mediafire.com/?da35bq5aac1y751 .
Step 3 - Replace the sound files: When you have both the MPQ Editor and the sound pack you want to change into, open the MPQ Editor. Press CTRL+O or ”File”->”Open MPQ(s)...” and go into your Starcraft II folder, by default it should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Starcraft II\.
When you are in your Starcaft II folder with the MPQ Editor, go into Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\ and open the file enGB.SC2Assets if it's an EU client, or enUS.SC2Assets if it's an US client. Now you should see two folders named ”Assets” and ”LocalizedData” and some other weird files that we don't care about.
Now open the ”KR sounds” folder, drag and drop the folder there called ”LocalizedData” anywhere into the MPQ Editor. When asked if you want to replace the files, choose ”Yes all”.
(Optional) Step 4 - Revert to english nuke warnings: If you prefer to still have the english Nuke sounds, that is fully fixable, without losing all the korean sounds. In the KR sounds.zip I included a folder named ”EN nuke warnings”. We do just as we did in Step 3, except this time we use the files in the folder ”EN nuke warnings”. Hopefully you still have the MPQ Editor with the enGB/US.SC2Assets up, if not open it again. Drag and drop the ”LocalizedData” folder in ”EN nuke warnings” and click ”Yes all” when asked to replace the files.
Aaaand it's done! You should now have korean sounds in your english client. I have no idea how you fix korean text for everything though!  Hope this helps someone at least! Thanks!
Finally as a tip - a link to a guide on how to get custom backgrounds for SC2: http://elusive-teliko.blogspot.com/2011/04/customise-background-images.html

theres already threads about this, but its a well put together guide. thanks
|
Thx for the guide
And thx A LOT for the sound upload ^^
|
does this work for changing the TW sound to KR sounds?
|
korean banshee's voice is pretty hot if u ask me
|
gotta say this was actually one of the better guides ive seen so far really really simple to follow
|
I remember there was a guide back in the beta/early release that I used to have KR sounds without downloading a MPQ editor, seems like a good little guide though. Maybe I'll use this later, miss my KR sounds... was used to them so much I even knew the nuclear launch detection... it sucked the first few times though, had no idea I was getting nuked.

any chance you can tell us how you did this? i want to switch my NA sounds to Spanish, but the Latin American client apparently is separate so people in the U.S. that speak Spanish would have to buy a LA account to be able to hear it in Spanish.

Yes, just download the KR sound file and rename it the same way. An MPQ editor isn't required.

Amazing.
Gonna try this this weekend.
Korean Zerg voice is so sexy.

To extract the sounds, you mean? Firstly, I downloaded the Korean client and installed it. Then I opened the Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\KoKR.SC2Assets with the MPQ Editor, selected the "Sounds" folder in "LocalizedData" and extracted the files(CTRL+E), and then replaced them in the enGB as described in Step 3.
I guess you could download the spanish sounds ( [url blocked] - taken from the Voice Pack thread linked in first paragraph) and do the same drill with those sounds instead. I think it should work.

The reason I replaced the sounds the way I did, is since I think it's a bit unnecessary to download the whole 350MB .SC2Assets file when you can just replace the files that are 80MB. But my Internet is also very slow, so...

I did this exactly as you said to, and when trying it out I found that it removed the voices entirely. I have basic game sounds, but no voices. Any reason for this? Or any idea on how to fix it? I was switching from US to KR
EDIT: Never mind it works now.

Sweet, I love the Korean Raven voice. Adjutant is great too.

Did it ask if you wanted to replace the files?
I remembered when I modified a file in Mass Effect 2 (to remove the big gun on the back) I had to make sure I didn't add any new lines of code or the whole game would refuse to load.
