Adding Sounds? Help

[Crowbennett08]

i have sounds edited for custom weapons..... But they are not showing up in the Weapon Dialogue in items/weapon/weapons/2handrifle/weapSniperRifle.

 

in the ART AND SOUND tab, i go to "Attack Sound (2D)" and try to find the .wav i put into the data/sound/fx/wpn/riflesniper Folder.

 

anyone know how to fix this? am i making a stupid error?

 

please help.

yes, you do i think ;)

 

have you added the sound in geck first under miscellaneous - sound?

create a new tab there for your sound, or exchange the existing ones.

 

after that they should also appear in the weapon dialogue

OK! now we're getting somewhere, i added the sound. but it's still not coming up in the weapons dialogue. First, i put my file in the data/sound/fx/wpn/riflesniper folder.

 

didn't come up.

 

then i made a folder called my sounds in the data/sound directory. then the sound wouln't even play from that location.

 

i feel like i'm getting closer.

 

also, i'm close to finishing my first Quest!!!! after about 2 years of trying to learn scripting, it's FINALLY starting to make some sense!!!!!!

put your .wav in the correct data/sound/fx/wpn/whatever folder.

open up geck.

go to file - data - fallout3.esm + your.esp as active file. click ok

everything loads ;)

go to miscellaneous

go sound

look for wpnriflesniperfire2d (for example) -> right click -> new

enter the name wpnriflesniperfirespecial (just for example, but it makes it easier to find your new sound in the list)

open the add sound dialogue and move through the folders to your wav. click open. at this moment click ok in your soundbox

re-open your new created sound. now you can hear your sound if you click the play button.

check how the sliders are set for wpnriflesniperfire2d, or try around on your own how to set everything optimal

now click ok again.

save your .esp

move to items -> weapons -> 2handrifle

edit the rifle of your favor, now your own sound should appear in the list

i am a loser, i did what you said, but obviously i *banned* something up. when i went back to the rifle i want to add the sound to, there was only the default sounds.

 

i am going to go kill myself now. i have a half finished quest i'm working on as well, the last thought in my head shall be SetObjectiveMarker "target reference mygun" SetStage killyourself 100. Result Script rewardXP 200

wait a minute!

 

i changed the file name to the exact extension you said, and it worked.

 

why? i don't understand why it didn't like the file name i gave it, big bold letters CROWSGUN

 

it didn't like that. Thanks a bunch buddy! every modder i've run into through the nexus forums has been so freakin nice.
