House alarm mod?

[Blake]

Me and a friend have been making reference to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKtZG9RM3ZM lately whenever we hear a house alarm, was wondering if anyone knew how to mod it into the game?

I doubt it would take much effort to replace sound files. You could probably figure out how to do it yourself even.

Edit:
Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\sound
That is the sounds folder. There are .ogg files for "burgalarm" "burgalarmbeep" "burglar1" and "burglar2"

I imagine converting that sound effect you wanted to .ogg and replacing one or more of those files would do the trick.

Second Edit:

I just checked the files, burglar2 seems to be the standard alarm. I don't think I have heard the sound effects for the others in game.

I just edited "burglar1" gonna go test it now and see if it works, I believe 1 is the house alarm sound and 2 is the car alarm sound.

I'm not sure if the game loops the alarm sound or not, might need to extend the sound to be about the same as the original as well.

Well I replaced burglar1 which is for sure the house alarm sound, but when I loaded in, it was still the default sound, So I'm at a loss as I believe I replaced the wrong sound, That or the server I use has different files somewhere.

Was it the same file format? I saw there was both a .ogg and a .wav, maybe try replacing both?

if it is a multiplayer server there might be other things you need to do.

Try going to the mods folder, make a new folder and name it burgalarm or something, then copy the same file structure into that. Might work on a multiplayer server if you are hosting it. Might not be possible to change it if you are not the host.
