briklebritt Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) I still want to use older Sounds mods f.e. for the BF109 "Immersive Daimler Benz Mod by 5tuka". I saw, that the folder structure changed in DCS. These older sounds come with a "mods" and "sounds" folder. The sounds folder should go to "C:\Users\xxx\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta", but where to copy the "mods" folder? When copied to "C:\Users\xxx\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta", I cannot hear the sounds in this folder. In "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Bf-109K-4\", there is now a folder named "Sounds.edc" and not like "Sounds" in the older mods. Can anyone help where to go the files in "mods" folder? Perhaps anybody can convert this sound mod that it is working again, or tell me where the files in "mods" have to be copied? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2113720/ Edited May 16, 2023 by briklebritt

ED encrypted their sound files a while ago (on DCS 2.5.6 if I'm not mistaken) to prevent people from using them (which are ED's intellectual property) as a base to modify and then create a "better" sound. Not sure how you can circumvent that protection.

I haven't the BF-109 so I can't test it. Do you use OvGME (more easy to install/uninstall) ? May be I can make it compatible (not sure)
briklebritt Posted May 17, 2023 Author Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Thanks for answering. I already tried to copy it to Saved Games. There are two folders within the mod "Sounds" and "Mods". It seems that all files in "Sounds" folder have an effect ingame, but all files in the "mods" folder seems not to have an effect or are not recognized by DCS when copied to Saved Games folder. Can you tell me something about this "mods" folder? The structure in the mod is "Mods\aircraft\Bf-109K-4\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\..." Maybe it is not the right place to copy it to Saved Games. Perhaps anyone could look into the mods files and tell me where this files in mods folder have to go? In "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Bf-109K-4" is only the new "Sounds.edc" folder and this is now not the right place to put the files too. Before they changed it to the "sounds.edc" folder, there was a "sounds" folder instead and I the new sound files worked.. within this folder Edited May 17, 2023 by briklebritt

The 5tuka mod you want does not match the folder structure of DCS World or DCS World OpenBeta. version 1.5 had a different one. I made a new mapping here. simply extract the content of the zip to Saved Games/Mods. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zn0cknq2op5oouy/DCS_IDB_Mod_2.0_by_5tuka.zip?dl=0 Many thanks! You saved my day.. now I can convert the Dora sound on my own too. Thanks for your help and doing this file!
