iqoniq Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I've got an activator and a custom Bink video. When I press the activator the video plays, but is completely silent. If I view the Bink file in MPC the audio is there. Does anyone know how to get it to play the audio as well? It had been solved on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/FalloutMods/comments/ajy2to/fo4_custom_video_files_in_fallout_4_getting_them/ ), but a comment that appeared to work had been deleted, and trying to find any information on this is like herding cats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorkaz Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Can't you just use mysound.play() additionally? Or does it lag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iqoniq Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Can't you just use mysound.play() additionally? Or does it lag? I tried that, but Bink stops Papyrus when playing so even putting that before the video doesn't work. I know the intro videos to the game (and I assume the end of game cutscenes) are a sound and a video file played together (there's no sound through MPC with those), but I can't figure out how they do it.

pepperman35 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Don't know if this will help "The RAD Video Tools uses QuickTime to import compressed sound formats. Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime from www.apple.com installed with all of the optional components. Since almost all computers have QuickTime installed, this usually means that the optional components are missing. To fix this, redownload QuickTime and choose "custom" installation - then mark all of the optional components and wait for everything to be downloaded and installed." http://www.radgametools.com/binkfaq.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieFeM Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Bink videos have multiple tracks of audio, papyrus plays the track id that is associated to the current language. If you run RAD Video Tools, select Intro.bk2, and use the option "Advanced Play", by changing the track id from 1 to 5 you'll hear the different translations. So you need to use the option "Mix in sound" to add audio for all 5 tracks, if you only use track 1 then it will sound only for people who plays the game in english, so for better compatibility you should mix in all 5 tracks, for all fallout 4 languages.

Thanks for that. The audio track will be the same whatever language it's in because I don't have any dubs. It's just something I'm playing with for one of my mods, although it might not make the cut anyway. Once again, thanks for the help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieFeM Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 No problem, but just in case, to make it clear, even if you have the audio only in one language, you should mix in the same audio in all 5 tracks, so if I play your mod (running the game in spanish) my game will play the fifth track, so it would be nice if at least I can hear it in english instead of silence.

iqoniq Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yeah I've figured that one out. It's just a shame that adding 5 audio tracks that are the same effectively doubles the file size, and shifting the compression to something like 10 (from the default of 4, and for the uninitiated it goes to 99) makes it sound really muffled. Having said that the audio isn't in the most perfect condition on the video I've been using as a lab rat so I guess that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
