I changed this tutorial to Adding Custom Sounds rather then stock.

Becuase I changed it to custom sounds, I removed these files from the sound folder and req files

Deleted files
---------------------------------------
abccw.snd
abcgcw.snd
rep_walk_atrt.snd
all_unit.snd
abccw.sfx
abcgcw.sfx
abccw.stm
abcgcw.stm

Updated Sound folder and req files


NOTE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO RE-MUNGE
IF SO, COPY and PASTE SOUND FOLDER AGAIN FOR UPDATES TO TAKE PLACE AFTER MUNGE

Sounds do not have to have a sample rate of 22 kHz, nor do they have to be mono, all as long as one uses the SWBF1 mod tools. It's a large download, yes, but totally worth it in the end.
