Downloaded mod sniper lacks sounds.

[mazzuli]

Hey, I downloaded http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4362 <- this mod, it's awesome but the guns dont have any sounds even though I installed the mod as instructed on the page.. I don't know what could be wrong so I request your help.

 

Here is my mods list, if it's any help:

You should have a file named m82 which is the rifle sounds

looks like there is one 2d nonsilent fire, an two silent fire in 2d-3d

2d is what it sounds like when you fire it, 3d is what it sounds like when someone fires it at you

 

There is also 3 10mm reload sounds in the file 10mmpistol

which is odd, Alexscorpion could have just added in new sounds

with names like maybe pp2000 reloadchamber, it doesn't matter though

 

There is the pp2000 file which is just a normal sound file for the pp2000

 

Then a sound for the riflesniper which is just sniper rifle reload

 

 

Which means if you have problems with not hearing the rifles

then check the m82 file first, it's the only one with rife fire sounds

The path is probably wrong.

 

Also those rifles are missing 3D sound, but hopefully they are player only versons

the silenced versions have 3d sound though

 

Which rifle doesn't have sound, all of them?

[mazzuli]

I tested all of the weapons included in the package and none of them have any kind of sound at all..

 

What do you mean by "the path is wrong" ? Is it like that the weapon sound files should be in a different folder or what?

 

I appreciate your help. :)

 

I can maybe live with the fact that theres no sounds in my silenced sniper rifle... Although its a bit wierd that a silencer can TOTALLY kill the sound of a .50 cal :D. I hope I can get it to work with your help. :)

Well to tell the truth Alex's Sniper Rifles sound for the unsilenced rifle is way way too loud anyway.

 

 

You can change sounds by finding them in the data folder then replace them with another sound

by the same name, but the path has to be the same.

 

I'll have to check on the path for that mod in a bit

 

I'll take a guess that it's Data/sounds/fx/wpn/

 

Where the files m82, pp2000, and sounds placed in the 10mmpistol file

 

See if you can find them an I'll see if I can download that mod again to check the path

 

 

I really like the vannilla lincoln rifle sound, a lot of the time I'll unpack it

or another sound like the 10mmpistol, then go to the sound I wana replace

click on it to turn it blue then wait a second an click again to open up the rename

where you can copy the name, then go to lincolns rifle or whatever an do the same

for it only paste this time which renames it the same, then drag that file in to replace

the sound, without having to open up GECK to do it.

 

 

You know you could get the GECK, Open it, then select Fallout.esm and AlexscorpionSnipers

set AlexscorpionSnipers to Active (meaning everything in it, and everything you change will get saved)

then edit the weapons to either give them sounds or find the sounds that are in the wrong place.

 

It's a long shot but maybe those sound files got corupted in the download process

 

 

Also Windows media player will play .WAV files which are the sound files for weapons like fire for example

 

2D means what it sounds like when you fire it, and 3D means what it sounds like when it's fired at you

 

Pretty much the differance is that 2D is recorded in Stereo while 3D is recorded in Mono an slightly different noise

Also 2D is like 32kHz while 3D is like 22kHz, then most sounds you download in the sound overhawl mods

are like 44Khz which is why they sound good. The kHz is the sample rate. You can right click a .wav file

look in the tab to the right an it will list the details. Since 3D is mono it can give a feeling of someone that fired

at you from a direction, kind of like surround sound

 

 

You can convert 2D to 3D with software like Wave pad sound editor which is free, you'll be asked to buy

but if you decline then you can still use it less some options that you don't really need to edit stuff for fallout

 

 

 

You can spend all day playing with sound for a weapon. I noticed that some of the mods I use I didn't really like the sound.

So I Learned how to change it. I don't do it all at once though. If I notice a gun sound isn't right. I'll go fix it an keep going.

Some of the vannilla sounds are lame, while some of the modded sounds are lame. It's pretty much up to the person.

 

 

Something else, I think it's FOOK that did it, but whichever mod it was I don't really know, but somehow one of the

rifles in the game had a 3D sound where it should have had a 2D sound. It was very bad.

When I would get into a fight with a NPC that had that rifle all you hear is them shooting at you like it was 1 foot away

while they are like 30 feet away. Someone that made the mod just mixed up the two sound names.

So I switched the names for the 3D an 2D an it happends no more. :D It was a real game ruiner.

 

 

 

I did make a Mod called FullAutoPistolsV1.0 that had a sound file with a read me that went into detail about

how to switch an change sounds then test really fast. Pretty much it's useing the copy paste in the names

then adding short cuts to that sounds file in the data folder.

 

An example for your case would be find Alexscorpions sound file m82 right click an create a short cut

then place that short cut on the desk top, put the sound you wana replace it with on the desk top rename

then drag an drop, go into the game with a save point just to test the gun.

 

The sounds for FullAutoPistolsV1.0 turned out great, but only really apply toward full auto pistol fire.

While there are a few mods with a almost endless amount of sound file in them for you to make edits

to how things sound for ya.

 

 

 

Something else that doesn't even really have much to do with this post. I've been making a lot of new guns.

Or different versions of guns. When I create the gun. I also create a new sound in GECK. Pretty much

I just take the 10mmpistol sound then rename it to suit the gun, Like WpnDesertEagle731_2D

Place that in the data folder in sound, even do this 30 times in one folder, in GECK you go to sounds

an create a new sound linked to the one you placed, then go back to the weapon you created an

select the new sound for it. The weapon is now created, and also the sound file, which you can change

later while keeping the name. Right now in the 10mmPistol \ Fire file I have like 15 different

custom weapon sounds for FullAutoPistolsV2.0 which isn't out yet. LOLZ But you could do this and

have 10 different 10mm pistols that all sound different. Which is what we really want anyway.

 

 

This is way too long, LOLZ
