ducttapetoiletpaper Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've been using this tutorial to create a custom radio station for Fallout 3 [i know it's for NV but I haven't been able to find anything else for FO3]. I've managed to get all the way to step 7 without any errors, but now I'm stuck. http://i.imgur.com/Au9oPKF.png Whenever I click "Add Sound File" it does absolutely nothing. I can't add a file at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ducttapetoiletpaper - Hello!After clicking on Add Sound you should get a window open where you can browse to your placed sound file.I remember someone else having a similar problem, pkleiss wrote up a good check list to troubleshoot it here:http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1158604-unable-to-add-new-sounds-in-geck/The problem there turned out to be the first solution on that list, patching GECK to 1.5.Many people don't realise GECK has a patch that fixes several bugs:http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=Bethsoft_Tutorial_GECK_SetupDirect link:http://download.zenimax.com/fallout/3/geck/Fallout3_GECK_1.5_Update.exeIf not try some of the other suggestions on pkleiss' list, right clicking on GECK & "Run as Administrator" would be my next best guess if patching does not fix it.Hope this helps!Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducttapetoiletpaper Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I downloaded the 1.5 patch and also ran GECK as administrator and I've still gotten nothing. I have it installed in my Fallout 3 folder but I have noticed I don't have a Sound folder. The only folders in Data are Backup, Music, Shaders, and Video. Could this be the problem?

prensa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) ducttapetoiletpaper - Hello! "but I have noticed I don't have a Sound folder." That's your problem, I just checked by renaming my Sound folder with a z at the end & GECK would indeed not open up to add a sound just as you described. Funny, you'd think GECK would just default to the Data folder. :smile: Make a Sound folder in your data where your Textures & Meshes are. That's where you need to place custom sounds anyway. Your custom sounds can be in a uniquely named folder within the Sound folder to help keep them organised.

ducttapetoiletpaper Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Huh, that's really weird how I never had a Sound folder, but it works now! Thank you, I really appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) ducttapetoiletpaper - Hello! "Huh, that's really weird how I never had a Sound folder" Vanilla sound assets are packed in the Fallout - Sound.bsa so you won't have a Sound folder unless you had a mod that added sound. Happens with Meshes & Textures folders too but I never knew GECK would refuse to open like that without the Sound folder. "but it works now! Thank you, I really appreciate your help." Glad it's working! All I did was check your hunch. :smile: I'll remember this in case I ever see anyone else with the problem. :smile: Happy modding!

ducttapetoiletpaper Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I apologize but I actually have one more issue I've just ran into [i was hoping I wouldn't run into any more of these]. Step 8: Set up the topics. I've just added the topic RadioHello to the quest, but then the tutorial becomes a bit vague to me [or I just don't know what he's talking about; I don't create mods]. He added the two topics which were the songs, but when I go to add the topics, the songs I've put in aren't listed in the topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ducttapetoiletpaper - Hello! "I apologize but I actually have one more issue I've just ran into" I've never set up a Radio station myself so I'll be very limited use here. "He added the two topics which were the songs, but when I go to add the topics, the songs I've put in aren't listed in the topics." From what I can see you need to make sure you've gone to the Radio tab within your Quest & not the Topic tab. Once in the Radio tab you can create topics by right clicking under Editor ID & Add Topic. Once created select your Topic & go to the info box, right click - New & a window will pop up. In that pop up will be a Sound File box with "Select TESSound" where your added tracks should be listed. As I say, I've not made a Radio Station so I'm not the best to advise on this. :) There is another Radio guide that may be of use to you in the Nexus Wiki, here: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Adding_a_custom_radio_station Hope this helps!
