There are tools there which extracts almost everything from the game, including sound effects.

JonWil's tools are heavily outdated, I'd suggest using Bibber's Tools. You will need the C&C BIG Extractor to extract the contents of EnglishAudio.big, then use the C&C Asset Extractor to open the global_english.manifest. You should now be able to listen to and extract all voice clips of TW.

This should be taken to the TS Forums, but you did add your new sounds to the sound.ini, didnt you?

no actully i put them in my ecache02 that normaly works for all my other sounds i've put in should it be in sound mix?

No, ecache or expand mix is fine for sounds, the problem here is that xcc mixer does not downsample the audio khz rate down to 22khz and makes 48khz mono aud instead and TS is hardwired to expect 22khz thus it won't play or jams the sound engine. Solution is downsample the pcm audio prior to xcc mixer aud convert.

about any generic Audio editing/converter software, if want free one try Audacity, or dbpoweramp music converter...or non-free ones adobe audition, sony soundforge and so on.
