FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi, I have been looking for a sound directory in my minetest folder for some time now so that i can replace the note block sounds with the "cloister bell" sounds from DW. the problem is: i cant find it. i looked everywhere but it simply doesn't exist.
minetest version 0.4.10
please help if you can
thx:)

It isn't officially possible to replace sounds, but try putting sounds in a folder called testsounds.

Proof (source code):

game.cpp: std::string base = porting::path_share + DIR_DELIM + "testsounds";

Maybe not officially but it works without problems. Any sounds used by server mods can be overriden (cached) on client side.

eh?
are you suggesting to identify the sound files in the cache, keep the hash name and alter the content? That sounds pretty hacky ;-P. There really should be a better way.

btw, do the files in the /testsounds need to be in any subfolder structure?

I think renaming “testsounds” to “sounds” would be good.

You dont have to do that. Just use the same file names as in mods. Game checks /testsounds folder then content sent by server.

l use the testsounds folder but for me the existing sounds don't become overridden.
:G

It has been named to sounds/ I believe.
