Re: Help with DKz Studio and ADX files for translation project

Thank you again for your response and help!
I ran your patch process as you wrote it and it is almost exactly the same as the process I've been using albeit with different tools (extracting the adx files, replacing a file with a different adx file with the same name and rebuilding the gdi then playtesting etc.) The same problem persists through my testing:
- file 78, the WARP theme played at the beginning can be replaced and it works correctly
- file 79,80,81 which are the first three audio files in the game can be replaced. However whichever file you replace, it will go silent after it plays. The game doesn't crash as if you play in visual mode the pictures keep changing, it just doen't play any further audio files.
- File 45,47,51 appear to be the option sounds 'new game', 'continue game (maybe?)' and 'options'. I have tried replacing these files and somehow this doesn't work and the original sound is preserved.
so to summarise, I can rebuild the gdi with new sounds, however they don't work on the menu screen from what I can see and any in-game file causes the sound to stop once it finishes playing.
Any ideas what I might be able to look at next?
