Creating Custom Ringtones

[mimeyy]

This works by using an addon folder to overwrite an existing ringtone, similar to the weapon skin process.

1. Obtain the track file you would like to use as a ringtone
2. Download and install an audio converter, I prefer ffmpeg https://ffmpeg.org/
3. Convert the file to an mp3 with a sample rate of 44100
   • If using the command line ffmpeg:
     • Open command prompt & navigate to the directory with the file using cd
     • Enter the following command, with your track filename replacing hanktone.opus
       • ffmpeg -i hanktone.opus -ar 44100 true_heart.mp3

4. Find your newly converted true_heart.mp3 and place it at the end of this series of folders. The folder structure & names must be exactly this for it to work, similarly to weapon skins. mimeyy_phone can be named whatever you like
   
5. Load or reload Garry's mod and it should work in the server. Dm me or reply with any questions.

The Hank ringtone from @Steward's suggestion ready to go: Google Drive "Download all" and extract the zip into your addons folder, make sure the structure matches above.
P.s. I used True Heart because it is quiet and not awful for others to hear, use wreckingball.mp3 if you are a monster
