New wasteland music

[frank lee]

Supposing I wanted to shoehorn my spaghetti western music into the game as 'explore' themes, anyone know where its supposed to go and is there any special treatment/conversion needed for FONV?

 

This was easily one of my single favorite mods for FO3, but the file structure has changed and I don't know if the format has. A quick walk-through on a 'safe' way to do this might be useful as everyone has their favorites.

 

I thought I saw a mod here for this an I think it . . .vanished. . . copyright?

They have revamped the sound options in GECK quite a bit (nice changes) you can now put music in same as the old ways and also set up "Location controllers" to use with an Audio marker usefull new gizmo which allows you to set multiple soundscapes/music to either Location, Battle, Enemy, Neutral. Friend and ally.

 

Make a track (song etc) into a "media Set" then add it to the Location controller as you want it.

 

 

Brief explination with pics (had to split into peaces due to image post restrictions)

 

Put files into \Data\Music best to add a sub folder

Once you have set all the up open the cell/region you want it to play in, then filer AudioMarker in search, grab that and place it in the area you want the sound in, you will notice a Blue radial curcle some distance from the marker, this is your distance and you can change differant sounds to play at differant distances, eg close to the marker a hum somewhere round the middle of the marker a feral ghoul sound then at the furthest a scream, it is a nice feature to help set ambiance.

 

Now, we have our audio marker next to 3d data click "audio Marker" tab then click "AudioMarker Dialog" it is the larger tab in the middle now here is where your controller comes into play, click the dropdown on the upper right named Media Location Controller select your controller you may now set the radius of the curcle (eg how far/close you hear the sound/music and set the "trigger" eg middle and distant radius, click ok trim up possitioning place under grill and leave untill doomsday tis done, now in theory and if all is well it will automatically play whatever you placed in the controller, if you ticked random or loop or retrigger in your controller that is what it will do (we hope hehe)

Hope that helps a tad long arsed way of doing things I know but as I say they have revamped it a bit and in honesty I like this way a lot more, it gives you far more control over audio scapes, you can also do the other old way of make a sound marker but this way gives more variety I feel.

 

Hope the pics are viewable and understandable cos of my strange colour themes hehe

Agreeing with Thanos001, if there is a prize for the most comprehensive answer on these boards, you just won it!

 

(but do you really work in those colors?)

Np any time, and yes I do work with those colours hehe I have light sencitive eyes so most of the default scheems hurt after a while especially when making mods, I do alternate scheems though depending what I am working on plus I work on a 32inch screen so when you are up close and editing it does tend to make you a tad bos eyed if its too glarey o_O

Thank you, I'll bookmark this thread. A little more in depth than "Throw your MP3s into the explore folder".

Moderator advice please.

 

If someone were to take their radically modified 'Bethesda Sw/Fallout New Vegas/Music folder (stuffed full of music they do not own in the legal sense of the word) and zip it and put it onto MegaUpload for example.

 

Would that person, by posting a link to the file in the Mods, be breaking any rules or even the spirit of the thing here?
