Replacing BigButtonClick.wav

I'm trying to replace the sound BigButtonClick.wav. I've tried everything I can think of so far, many different paths. I even opened the MPQ to see if there was a different path in there etc.

Other replaced sounds work fine, but this one doesn't. Anyone know how to succesfully replace it?

EDIT: It appears that sound is loaded when clicking in the Wc3 main menu, thus ignoring the imported file in the map.
If anyone know a solution to this please help :3

Well if I assume that you are doing everything properly, then you may be running into a fairly common Warcraft III issue.

I do not know much about it, just that resources already loaded are likely cached somehow, thus trying to replace them does nothing. If that sound is something you have to deal with before getting into a game, then likely Wc3 has already loaded it before your map could replace it. You may have to resort to using using local file replacement or a modified MPQ.

If it is not a sound you have to deal with just to get into your game, then you might be able to replace it if you restart Wc3 so that it is reloaded via your map (if you happen to test by leaving Wc3 open for long periods rather than using the test map button). Though if the problem is Wc3 loading the sound via menu button clicks or something, then even if it worked via test map, most users will not "hear" the change.

What is local file replacement and how does it work?
EDIT: Lol nvm. It's using "replace internal sound" in Sound Editor I figured.
Also, editing MPQ is nor really an option since I want downloaders to hear the sound as well. And I don't want people to have to change MPQ files etc etc.

I didn't know at first, but yeah, using the test map button makes the sound work, so you are probably right that the sound is loaded when clicking on the Wc3 main manu buttons. <.<

Anyway I am still hoping that there is a solution to this. Isn't there like a JASS code to reload sounds or something at the start of the map? :3
