How do I create sound replacers?

[tastypixels]

I can't seem to find any tutorials anywhere, help would be much appreciated.

Let me specify, I want to create a death sound replacer.

I dont know how to do this either. Have a fun idea i want to do

1) Extract the files from the game archives to somewhere (not your game installation folder!!), see what file type, file path and name the sound file you want to replace is.

2) Place your own sound file that matches the type, name and path into the game files

3) Enjoy!

 

In your case, you'd place the files in:

\Data\Music\Death\

 

as xwm files named:

mus_death_01.xwm

mus_death_02.xwm

mus_death_03.xwm

 

The game plays one of the three files at random when the event occurs, so if you want the same sound to always play, just copy the same file three times over.

This worked, thanks!

ok yes, that did work great and I was able to insert my sound clip into the game as a test,

 

The one thing I'm stuck on is that I can't find what I want, which is the Settlers Bell in the Sounds.ba2. The best i can find is a bell from an office desk, but that isnt the same. I even extracted all of the files and then did a search on Bell, and only these church bells and the office bell came up. What is another way to find a sound? In game?

look into "Sound\fx\amb\buoy". I think its on of them amb_buoy_ring_01 - amb_buoy_ring_05

[menorton]

Nope, the bell has a single ring, those have multiple. Also when I switched them, the bell still had the old sound.

 

edit:

I put my cursor on it and then hit tidle, the text that came up was (ff002aff) [PP]. What does this mean? I already looked in Sounds and Voice.ba2, if its a file its not in there.

this is my first time trying to mod and am looking to replace the power Armour voice with the normal character voice, but i cannot find any sound files anywhere? am i missing something?

You can find them one of two ways:

 

1. Ask around/Search google

2. Convert the files (xwm to wav) yourself and listen to each one.

 

sorry if thats a crap solution, but thats all the community has right now
