Y/K Gun sound change?

[Flaskegaard]

I'm trying to change the sound that the Y and K Guns make when they are fired, but am not entirely sure how to do it. I would like them to make the same sound the Hedgehogs make when they are fired. I'm sure you have to use S3D, but cannot find where it's done.

...I went down the playlist of sounds in the SOUND folder and found the Y/K Gun firing sound is P09_$Gun_muzzle_flash. I want to change the Y/K Gun firing sound to the sound in P21_$RGun_muzzle_flash. I cannot find where a particular gun is assigned to a particular sound file, so I can change it. If anyone knows, please post it.

Save a copy of the p21 sound file, rename the file to the one you want to change, this case the P9, use the complete path, copy and paste it back in the sound folder and let it overwrite.

Use S3D to find the ID in the guns-radars.dat and copy it. 0xfffffffff68e0511 for the K-Gun
Then open the sim file and find that ID.
You'll see fire_effect = 0x976de6d6e79a3b6a
Copy that ID.
Open particles.dsd and find that ID.
You can edit the sound the K/Y guns use like that.

Effect sound usage is assigned in the particles.dsd file. It is referers to the Sh.sdl file.

The problem with your messing with the Sh.sdl fiile is it changes the sounds for all guns useing that file.

My way teaches how to find a sound file and change it only for that Gun.

I could have said look for the K-gun in the particles.dsd but then how would one learn to search through files?

Then again I have a feeling that makes my skin crawl.......
:hmmm:
