Creating a Custom Soundbank
This page will serve as a guide to creating custom soundbanks. Before making a soundbank, check the Soundbank page to see a full list of voice clips.
Soundbanks are stored under the \DATA\User\Speech folder. Each soundbank is categorized by folder, with its folder name determining the name of the soundbank in-game. Each folder contains a collection of standard LPCM RIFF WAVE files (extension .wav). If a certain soundbank sound is missing, the worm will be silent if the respective condition is triggered.
Methods
Method 1: Soundbank Editor
Worms Armageddon has a built-in Soundbank Editor under \User\BankEditor.exe. It has a user interface that allows the input of most of the soundbank files except Hurry.wav.
Method 2: Soundbank Folder, Copy Folder, Rename Sound Files
An easy but tedious method to set up the soundbank files of a certain soundbank is to copy-paste a pre-existing folder, then manually substitute each of the pre-existing sound files with custom sound files.
Sound Design
Experimenting with sound design is an art.
Some notes to consider when designing sounds:
- When firing a grenade weapon, the voiceline may cut off early if the charging ends too soon.
- When performing Incoming.wav or Orders.wav, the strike weapon arrives about 0.8s after the voiceline begins.
- Voicelines Runaway.wav, Takecover.wav, Whatthe.wav, and the special Grenade.wav, always play 1 second before an explosion.
- Drop.wav has different uses in each second-generation game. In W2, it plays when a crate is dropping down. Since version 3.6.23+ in W:A, this voiceline plays when a delayed weapon becomes available. It is unused in WWP.
