Manipulating .zip files in \pak folder

[mr.ioes 0]

Is it possible?

I want to exchange gui_slotchange.ogg with a less noisy version, however it seems like sacred 2 compares the checksum of the zip file and if it doesn't match, sacred won't use the .zip file at all.

Easiest way to do it is have the file in folders with the same structure as that which is inside the zip file and the game uses them in preference to the zip. So if its in hq/sound/something inside the zip just have folders set up like that outside the zip.

Are you sure that this should work?

 

Just tried it quickly, and it didn't seem to. Extracting soundhg.zip, replacing one file there but still sacred takes the one from the zip. Too tired to try anything fancy now, time for some sleep (2am here) ;(

It you extract soundhq.zip you do not extract to a folder named soundhq, instead you simply extract the contents, incase that's what you have been doing. So if soundhq.zip contain hq/... And mq/... Then when you extract you should get two new folder structures hq/... and mq/...
