I'm in the process of creating a new Sound Upgrade and I know a lot of people have already customised some of the game sound effects already.
There's a lot of files going to be included. Many XWAU users are advanced users and know what they are doing but some like a simple life.
So I'm looking to get ideas of the best way to install the new files into the game. So would you prefer that:
1: The Installer does all the work for you automatically.
This means the installer will extract the new Sounds and places everything to the right game folders in 1 easy motion.
It will automatically Backup any files in those locations with the same names to the Backup folder. So you can easily restore old files you prefer to the new ones.
2: Manual install. The files are placed in a new sub folder in the XWA directory and you pick and choose what to use.
This would extract all the files into a brand a new folder but with the correct location folder names too.
So you will know the game location and then you listen to the new files and choose which to copy and paste over the originals as you please.
It means you can easily compare the new files to any you already have but it will mean a lot of back and forth playing each new sound and then the old version. Also some files will sound a little odd out of context of where they appear in game.
So please click on the poll and give me an idea of which you prefer as it will help me out.
Thanks for your help Pilots!
