The meme Lord Class
Class id: meme_lord

Dps support class
Skills:
Dank Meme: Heals a targets - Will use the sound of the Vestal Divine Grace. [combat_skill: .id "dank_meme"]
Mlg trick shot: Deals 360% damage - Will use the sound of the shots from Skeleton Arbalets. [combat_skill: .id "mlg_shot"]

Rename the templates file with the correspondent class id your mod has.

Initially should look like:


To this:


Open the .campaign.load_order.json file.

Once opened, it should appear something like this (I'm using my personal framework [sublimetext] for the coding stuff, it's not obligatory to have it thou. So don't get scared if yours seems different fron notepad. Just remember to respect the { } [ ]  stuff)


As you can see, there's some strange name like "the_bank_you_want_to_load" so you can understand you have to change it. Rename this part with the bank sound you want to load. In my case (for the dank meme skill) I want the vestal bank. So I rename this "the_bank_you_want_to_load" to ""hero_vestal". By doing so the game will load all the vestal sound in its memory and I can use her sound for my skills. It should look like this (I erased the next line for now. Its purpose is to show you how to load various banks of sounds, but now I'm using only the vestal one. If you want to load more than 2 banks, just add a , next the bank" and copy the same line before):


How do I know this is the correct line? Well, as you can see I've opened in another tap the base.heroes.load_order.json (you can check all audio files in \darkestdungeon\audio\secondary_banks\) to check it out. But the rule of thumb is all sound from heroes has the same pattern: secondary_banks/hero_the_vanilla_class.bank  (the_vanilla_class is the name of the class you are searching - with "_" as spaces).
This is applies to those sound already created for vanilla classes. The enemy ones will be explained afterwards.


Congrats!! You have loaded the sounds for your skill!

Now now, we're gonna open the .campaign.guid_overrides.json file (the another file we didn't opened yet). This file is the one which contains the skills and its related sounds. Once opened it should look like this:


Yeah, I know what you're thinking but stay with me and forget the right side for now. Lets focus in the left side.

• There's this part "event_id": "event:/char/ally/your_class_skill" that you should change with the correspondent names in the (you_class_skill) part by changing the your_class for your class id and the skill part with the skill id.
• In my case it will be: "event_id": "event:/char/ally/meme_lord_dank_meme"
• Now the line below is the exact same line but with an additional _miss line: "event_id": "event:/char/ally/your_class_skill_miss". This event is for those times when you class fails the skills and the game plays the miss sound effect (if your skill never fails, you should not to worry about this... but I'll prefer to take the save choice and do it anyways).
• Like above but with the _miss: "event_id": "event:/char/ally/meme_lord_dank_meme" (in this case, the skills is a heal so it won't fail. But I'll implement it anyways so if in some strange case it could happen. I recommend you to do the same)
  

Once finished, it should looks like this:




Now you have set your skills but the game will not play any sound since all those 0's means anything to the game. All those zeroes are the code number associated of the sounds (like an id), so if you can figure out what code is the sound you want (in my case the vestal's divine grace) the game will play the sound (since you already loaded in the game's memory before in the .campaign.load_order.json file)
So here's the part where that GUIDs references helps to fills those 0's.

Go to the GUIDs references file/page and ctrl+f the fuq out of the skill you want (or doing by scrolling don't if you're patient enough):

As you can see, there 2 event:/char/ally/vestal_divine_grace (the next one has the _miss part). From now one I'm sure what to do. But we did all this work together so lets continue in that way, ok?

Copy the code from the left side:

And paste it in your file:


Do the same for the miss part (if you want to assign another sound instead the miss sound, you can without problem as long it's a existing code).
Once finished, it should look like this:


Congrats!! You have assigned the sound to your skill! Now your skills will have their sounds!

From now on you can actually assign any sound to your skills from existing ones without problem. But if you still want more practice or know how to search for an unknown sound (or how to load enemies skill sounds). You can continue with the tutorial.

First things first. Load the correspondent sound bank. There's a lot of files and you don't know where the file could. I take the assumption it could be the en_crypts file (the en_crypts means enemy_crypts. So those en_name.bank files are the ones which contains the sounds from enemies). This assumption is in fact incorrect, but I'll do it anyways like I didn't know about it.


Copy the name file inside the load_order file:


The problem is, like I say before, the skeleton arbalist doesn't appears only in the ruins/crypts but other places too, so that means he's originally in "secondary_banks/en_shared.bank". But I don't know this because no one explained this to me, the sounds doens't plays, I got really fustrated and then decided to do this:


This will load all sounds I think the skeleton could be from everywhere and it will be sure the sound it's loaded. The problem with this the game will take a little more time in load the dungeon... but to be honest the time which takes is so small that you can even ignore this and do it anyways (of course if you can avoid this behavior even better). Yeah, this is a secrets within modders, keep it in secret so the players don't get angry about it.

Once there, you have searched for the code but you cant find it even with the ctrl+f (this could happen since sometimes the in_game name varies from the actual id [or if you play the game in non-english language]). So you have reached this part:


Since you don't know where is the code and you're quite pissed at this point by scrolling all that wall of text... you have decided to search inside of the .info file of the skeleton arbalist in cuestion. So enter inside the monsters folder and search for the arbalist folder (searching for a folder is easier than search for a line within a wall of text). Sometimes the name of the enemy is different from the folder's name, in that case you have not choice but searching one by one and seeing if the sprite inside the folder is the same as the enemy you have searching for.


Search for some .art (or .info) file inside:


Inside, search for the skill you think it should be the skill what you're searching for. In this case I copied the fx id instead the skill id, I had lucky and this time the ids are the same, but I should have been more careful and copied the left id instead since its the id which the games associates the skill:


Copy the skill id and Ctrl+F for the code inside the GUIDs:

And from now you actually know how to do the rest.

Congrats!! You have learned "how to sound" your skills!

Go out there and finish you mod, my man!
