<div class="IPBDescription">How to start?</div>Hello,

I want to change some game sounds, such as weapons, hits, taunts and that kind of stuff. I recently downloaded Fmod, but I have no idea what to do at all - where are the sounds located, how do I extract/convert them etc..

Is there any tutorial on that for NS2? Or could someone help me out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, the sounds are located in the ns2 folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\sound)

You can create a mod with customs sounds
ex: create a folder C:\MYMOD\sounds and place the modified sounds here.
Launch ns2 with the parameter -game "C:\MYMOD" -hotload and you'll have you customs sounds in game


You can use Music PlayerEx to read the fmod sounds <a href="http://jerome.jouvie.free.fr/musicplayer/index.php" target="_blank">(link)</a> and convert them in other sound formats (ogg,wav,mp3)

I'm searching right now for converting mp3 to *.fsb sounds ^^

Edit : you can use this method and adapt it to ns2 <a href="http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=102831" target="_blank">(link)</a>

1.Download fsb extractor
2.extract the sounds in the .fsb file you want to modify (expl:music.fsb)
3.replace the sounds you want to change (names have to be the same as original ones)
4.open fmod
5. create new project
6.drag and drop all soundfiles to the left corner (under untitled)(or create new sound event---> right click: untitled)
7.go "Banks" on top left corner, select you soundback on the left, change compression metho(right corner) to mp3, change "compression quality" to 100 and then go project->build->select your soundbank-> click build and youre done :)
