Changing weapon sounds Created 17 years ago2007-05-03 12:51:13 UTC by ShinReiga

Can anyone tell me how to change the sound of the shotgun blast?
Is the the same principle as changing the model? as in placing the wav file in a specific directory?

all replies welcome

yes it is...

valvesoundweapons

i only know one of the blast sounds though, which is dbarrel1.wav

nice one cheers!

oh, sorry.. i just noticed this was in source engine discussion..
The answer i gave was correct to HL1.. i dont know if it'll work in Source.

so basically?

(mod) sounds/weapons/shotgun ....

then change the name of the new sound to the shotgun name?

Actualy, the first thing you must figure out is where the shotgun fire sound is located in the GCF. So use GCF Scape to do so. Obviously, sounds are located in the file source sounds.gcf, so open that. Then, find the weapons folder. Its located in /root/hl2/sound/weapons/shotgun. There are 2 fire sounds in there: shotgun_fire6.wav and shotgun_fire7.wav.

Now that you where the fire sounds are located, goto your mod dir and create the exact same folders as in the GCF, like this:

half-life 2/hl2/sounds/weapons/shotgun.
Put your custom fire sounds in the shotgun folder and you're done.

yup works ... nice one mate ..
i had it in the wrong folder

however there is still a "blast" after changin fire7 and fire6 ...
its not in the Shotgun folder as i have checked?
any ideas?

it was the textures i was hitting against

please edit your posts rather than double, or in this case triple posting.

Yeah, the shotgun blast sound is the sound the gun itself will make when firing, not the sound of the surface the rounds are hitting.
