Hi all,
I'm making a soundpack config file for an online game, and I was
wondering if someone would show me how to create it with Excel. I have
absolutely no idea what I'm doing, so detail would be helpful. :)

I have a list of 1024 sound files from a print directory program,
e.g.:

1 4psycho4.wav
2 actnow.mp3
3 alad-alright.wav
4 alad-believe.mp3

(I can make it output the file list with or without numbers.) I need to
convert this list into this format:


1 sound "sound/misc/ta/4psycho4.wav"
1 text "^1^2"

2 sound "sound/misc/ta/actnow.mp3"
2 text "^1^2"

3 sound "sound/misc/ta/alad-alright.wav"
3 text "^1^2"

4 sound "sound/misc/ta/alad-madeyalook.mp3"
4 text "^1^2"

(Every entry is the same, except for the name and extension of the
sound file.)

Then I'll need to type the text in for each file to finish it:

1 sound "sound/misc/ta/4psycho4.wav"
1 text "^1You Psycho!^2"

The final result needs to be output to a notepad document for use in
the game.




An additional project from this Excel document:

I'll need to be able to extract a list of the "text" entries in the
Excel document, to produce a text file. So sound #1 would look like
this:

@1 You Psycho!^

(@1 is the keystroke that plays the sound in the game, and players
would like a list of the sounds to print out, without the non-essential
info and blank space.)


This project would probably take me a year to type by hand, so any help
would be greatly appreciated! :)

Dim i As Long
Dim iFree
Dim ipos As Long
iFree = FreeFile
Open "c:\myFile.txt" For Output As #iFree
For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
ipos = InStr(1, Cells(i, "A").Value, " ")
Print #iFree, Left(Cells(i, "A").Value, ipos - 1) & _
" sound/misc/ta/" & _
Right(Cells(i, "A").Value, Len(Cells(i, "A").Value) -
ipos)
Print #iFree, i & " ^1^2"
Next i
Close #iFree

OK, cool. Problem is, I don't know what to do with this info.

This could be a great help to the gaming community, as we make new
soundpacks all the time, but the work is S-L-O-W... Is there a kind
soul out there who would walk a total Excel NOOB through how to
implement this info? I need step by step instructions.:)

Best Regards,
Regent
