sound mod help question

Hello, I am having an issue with a sound mod I'm trying to install. I wasn't sure where else to post this question.

I installed a bunch of weapon sounds and replaced all the correct sounds in the proper folders.

Except when I test them in game they all work except for the shotgun firing sound which has not been changed.

I am completely confused as to why it has not changed when I replaced the file and why all the rest did change when i replaced their files.

Any ideas?

I am using the steam version with wesp's newest patch.

Thank you

Hm, no idea, except perhaps the original and the new sound are so similar that you don't hear the difference. Or maybe the uploader of the pack has put the wrong file in...
Personally I have never used any weapon-sound mod. Something like that isn't important for me.

It's without a doubt not the same sound.

I have a feeling the shotgun sound is named differently in the games code but i dunno how to find such information.

Since you guys are modders i figured you would have seen the code.

What really confuses me is I replaced the sound file, How is it still playing the original sound? Where is it located?

The sound files for weapons are defined in the item files(Vampire\vdata\items\). For the shotgun(assuming you mean the pump-action and not the Spas-15), the name for it is 'item_w_ithaca_m_37'. The sound information for the weapon is under (though it is obvious) SoundData.

I'm thinking the issue might be that whatever the shotgun's sound is defined as(whatever directory is listed), isn't where the sound file you want to use is.

Very interesting thank you maxus.

I went into that file "item_w_ithaca_m_37" and scanned it up and down to find this.

"attack"
{
"sound1" "Weapons/Ranged/Shotgun/wield_override/Attack_1.wav" // changed by wesp
}

"attack_npc"
{
"sound1" "Weapons/Ranged/Shotgun/wield_override/Attack_1.wav" // changed by wesp
}

changed it to this


"attack"
{
"sound1" "Weapons/Ranged/Shotgun/Attack_1.wav"
}

"attack_npc"
{
"sound1" "Weapons/Ranged/Shotgun/Attack_1.wav"


Now it works perfectly thank you for helping me solve my problem.
