ChaosDeviant901 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 right not sure if this is the right spot. first topic i ever made in the nexus so here goes. ever since i messed about with FORES Fnis something strange has happened. after ive finished the big ol glacier for the quest of Auriel's bow i suddenlycant hear my foot steps when in third person. no matter what ive done i cant hear them ive checked the settings theyre at maximum. although i can hear my footsteps in first person view clearly, also while im sprinting and when i draw my weapon i can barely hear them a little bit. im not sure if its FORES new idles but it is the most recent thing ive installed that does major things in skyrim. also not sure if its my sneaking skill but it was the most recent skill tree i updated but im pretty sure your supposed to hear your own footsteps while walking or running. im also not wearing any muffled gear on me. please if anyone knows ive searched on the interwebs and cant find anything.

prod80 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Honestly I thought about this and have some ideas, but those are just guesswork... Pretty sure its not FNIS tho :) If I would be behind my computer (not behind it at work :P) I would test if the distance between player and camera has anything to do with the sound volume.... I dont play 3rd person, so not very familiar with it. Also not sure if muffled or muffled movement perk have anything to do with the actual sound volume.... could be, not I dont know. Easy way to find out seems to start a new game, and instead of messing about in helgen wait till after you have been unbound and use the command coc whiterunstables ( or really, any other location ) .. perhaps it's sneak skill related, who knows.

ChaosDeviant901 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 @Prod80 well i tried that whole distance thing and its just dead silent. it doesnt feel right that ive got ninja feet or something. ill try loading up an older save if it works. if he's silent then... yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosDeviant901 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 oh great i think its not just me thats affected. i cant hear the NPC footsteps as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prod80 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 do you have the sneak perk muffled movement?I was just reading an article that it reduces the sound as well. And I would not be surprised it reduces the sound of NPC footsteps as well in the process. If you have that perk, perhaps you can test by manually removing that perk from yourself using the console ( player.removeperk 00058213 ). Not sure if you have to create a test save / load save before it's deactivated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fore Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 What walking/running animation replacer do you use? Footstep sound is part of the animation files. And I know that a few animators don't know how to set them. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosDeviant901 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 well finally figured it out. had to check the interwebs several times. had to turn off the CHBBP jiggleh mod. not sure why that mod turned off the sound for foot steps but least its back now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
