it seemed like an hour to me not 100% sure on that though

Yup, you can edit the in game sounds by renaming files you find as the same.

(example)
Death.midi   is the default, and you find Awesomekungfudeath.midi.  Just rename the Awesome one into death.midi, and replace the old file.


1) I dont know what the actual names are
2) I dont know what the actual sound file types are (midi, wave, mp3)  i know the in game music is a weird format that plays on mp3 players though (it was like .cal3)
3) I dont know if changing the sounds is permanent, it used to be you would have to patch the game, then add the sound files after you patched, but before the character select.  And every time you patched it would replace the sound files with the default.


Eq2 and eq1 had a neat workaround where you could have a Custom music/sound folder and it would load those instead of default and you didnt have to reset it each time, im not sure if VG has that or not.

OKay i just checked and here how it works.

In Song/vanguard/assets/sounds

There are files like Orc_male.isb  and Orc_male.icb

The isb contains ALL sounds that an orc male player would make, this includes, death, fighting, getting hit, emotes.  The icb contains the information of when to play each sound.

To change the sounds you hear you need an unrealed.exe (lol very expensive and its basically the unreal editor for the game)  or a sound program capable of editing the isb (possible but doubt you will find afree one), while maintaining their same location so that you dont have to change the icb. 

It is possible to edit the extension from isb to something else (mp3) and have SOME of them play, but only about 1 in 10 files actually would play.  I had more luck with the in game music
