Changing Default Sounds

Is it possible to change the default sounds for RCT2? I would like to add announcements to the monorail, etc.

You'd probably have to decompile the game and re-code a bunch of stuff. Unless you're a programming wizard this isn't going to happen.

If you wanted, you could make a .wav file with monorail announcements and set the monorail music to the .wav file. For instructions on how to make custom music files, see one of the other 1000 threads on the topic.

Ok, so just playing around I discovered that the css1.dat file in the 'data' directory contains all the stock RCT sounds in one continuous streamed .WAV file. It is at the same sample rate that Saywer refers to in his custom wav files note. My assumption is that the rct.exe code uses location pointers within the css1.dat file to locate the appropriate sound for actions within the game and determines a starting and ending point within the file to play the wav needed. I will be working on parsing out the file and modifying the sounds that are within it. If anyone else has made more progress on this, please share! :)
