Soundscripts Are Fun

I like the funny sound! I have a new microphone so I wanted to test that too.

Playing MvM with multiple killsounds is the music to my ears.

[@elementw74]

2:02 It's about the sound file's samplerate; Source caches information about audio it knows may play at some point (see the HL2 commentary nodes about this during the trainstation escape) and doesn't clear/refresh this cache when switching maps, resulting in e.g. a 22kHz voice sound file (original) being played at 11kHz (overriden by your map), so twice as slow.

[@supahmehrio9059]

@@elementw74 This is also why custom soundpacks usually break sounds on sv_pure 1 servers; it's the exact same issue. L4D2 also loads it's own sound cache, but it's workshop implementation doesn't allow mods to have their own cache -- resulting in sound mods needing to match the original sample rate and length of sounds to play correctly.

[@Whomobile]

Subtitles appear a bit broke, working on it, (edit: should be fixed now) Fun fact, Breadspace uses the sound replacement method I tried in Casserole! You can load it up in a single player session, load a new pl map and any Bread Space lines that played will transfer over and play instead of the announcer lines, doesn't seem to effect multiplayer, however.

[@DudeTheNinja]

A custom soundscript is how I added the custom voicelines to the "Capture The Civilian" mod I made. You can, in an animation, call for a soundscript sound to play on a certain frame. Make a custom soundscript entry in a new file and add the new file to the game_sounds_manifest and you can make it compatible with mods that change the vanilla soundscript files (so long as they don't change game_sounds_manifest)!

[@Whomobile]

fuck that is so cool

[@000marioshi000]

Hey, someone else figured out the glory of multiple custom hitsounds! I'm glad the process seems to be much simpler than back in the day when I wrote my own guide. From experience, you need a frequency of 44100 hz and a 1411 bitrate to get the best results for sound quality. And sometimes, you also need to reset you sound cache by dragging your custom folder in the vpk exec in the bin folder. But otherwise, yeah, it's quite fun! It was tedious to get my 400+ hitsound set working, but boy was it worth it! Have fun, everyone!

[@Whomobile]

From the Source deve wiki: Source supports uncompressed 8-bit and 16-bit PCM sample rates at 11025 Hz, 22050 Hz, and 44100 Hz. I use that as a base

[@drunkchey9739]

cool to see some actual documentation on this, was contemplating writing some myself after reverse engineering this system for a custom modpack a while back haha

[@Whomobile]

Yeah! One of the reasons I made this video is the lack of information on sound scripts and what they can do, I've already had a few comments adding more things I didn't even know about!

[@callmememe1308]

Whenever I see anything that changes TF2's default voice lines, I'm always reminded of that remake/port of Watchpoint Gibraltar from Overwatch that IIRC replaces all of the Merc's voicelines with their Overwatch equivalents (Scout's lines replaced with Tracer's, Medic with Mercy, etc).

[@1KiloDepartment]

You should definitely make a video on how to do the same with particle effects! Just in case though, here is a quick tutorial. You will need a program to open vpk files, and a way to find the file path of any particle effect included in TF2 that you wanna use.* - Copy someone else's vpk file, such as one of those that replace explosions with a spark from the explosions of a Spy's sapper. - Open it and learn how it is structured, and find where it replaces the effect (it looks very similar to how the soundscripts work) - Replace any particle effect paths with those you want to use instead I found this most useful in 100 servers, due to the sheer amount of smoke explosions create. But most people use it for overall less cluttered screens, which may help especially as Sniper. There are some very cool effects you could try, like the shockwave that accompanies explosions (which has 2 variations, one that faces you and one that faces up). But I settled with the flare gun flare's explosions, since it doesn't generate smoke, and it still gives me an idea of where an explosions happened if I'm not directly looking at it! *I used VPKEdit and Garry's Mod with the addon Advanced Particle Controller, though just for the reason of Linux support and because I already had Garry's Mod :P

[@Whomobile]

Never touched particle effects so I'm not as familiar with that system, thankyou for the quick guide, I'll look into it when I can

[@piggo5]

Very nice video. Shows how wonderful and fun modding can be. Replacing music/sounds in source game is one of my favorite parts of modding just right behind replacing the models. But when you combine the two, you get something truly magestic...

[@CongaYT]

I set my player kill soundscript to have a 1% chance to play the wilhelm scream

[@Myahster]

I want a sound script that plays "[class] is dead!" when a teammate dies. Similar to how death callouts work in MvM. But have that work in regular matches.

[@mugtoast]

MEUDIC, MEUDIC, DOC COME ON MAN!, MEUDIC

[@TheBillinator3000]

Okay, now replace every sound in Team Fortress 2 with your own voice.

[@DukeofLeet]

So like how have people not been making Random Hitsounds and providing them on sites for years already? I swear I searched like a few years back for random hitsound mods and only found some jank shit that didn't work, this is great!

[@UsernameDoesntCare]

I didn't know this was possible and now that I do, god that is so goofy.

[@Minefnafer22]

Love me a nerdy type source video. I've used soundscripts to change my portal gun firing sounds to gel related sounds in Portal 2. It's very cool

[@robotortoise]

This is an excellent tutorial! I remember back when TF2 had the server store soundscripts, I would change the soundscripts so the conga music was replaced by custom music, and the Spy's voice lines for high fives were replaced with "slap my ass! Do it now!"

[@bobsalami]

Ahh, i know a classic tf2 video when I see one

[@sgas]

really good paint visualizations

[@Swagenstein]

This is very interesting to me because Minecraft has a very similar approach to this. I used basically the same method as shown in the beginning to replace certain nether ambience tracks with the OG Fortnite lobby music.

[@khirnera]

Oh I could have used this months ago, I was trying to change all of the hit sounds to minecraft skeleton damaged sounds and just couldn't get it to work. I at least got my custom kill sound to work (a bunch of bowling pin crashing sounds played over eachother with the wii bowling announcer yelling "Strike!"). Awesome guide!

[@orangy57]

I did this with an ed edd n eddy sound effect pack last year after finding one of those 100+ hitsounds mods, nobody ever talks about this!!!! Also turns out that multiple hit/killsounds are possible in MVM too but you just need to separately edit the mvm_level_sounds.txt

[@MassimoMxswat]

Wow, this is quite cool!

[@yrop6188]

thank u so much, my hungarian mod is very broken i thought cuz the overwriten sounds are longer than the original, but yea, that's the point, for real, thanks ^^

[@Uncleharkinian]

My hit sounds is will from afar “you are in the beam” saying “hit” and my kill sound is him saying “you killed him”

[@SiFWolf]

I've been trying to totally not torture myself with MvM unused sounds with goldsrc sounds and iirc it was because source really wants that 44100 wav audio. Use audacity or something, maybe you wouldn't hear literal statics.

[@Whomobile]

I use Wavosaur mostly for sounds, Audacity is good but I find it's better for music/vo stuff while Wavosaur is better for small clips of sound

[@ikalpo]

When I did my hitsound pack for every voiceline from sonic adventure, I made a .bat script to do all the copy/pasting for me.

[@Lunascaped]

Appreciate the captions!!

[@2kata]

You can change weapon shoot sounds through the weapon script files, and it works everywhere. You can also change the explosion particle effect and the bullet tracer effect, (to the capper laser), which also work everywhere. Decently well known, well atleast the explosion particle effect part.

[@auratus-corvus]

Gonna change the sound of the bomb going off to Wario getting in a car crash.

[@TriggerzConnors]

I used that custom killsounds from gamebanana from Mönkey's video. Its funny as hell

[@arlwiss5110]

yooo you made pl_casserole? i love that weird thing!

[@xeltre]

There's also a way to utilize an edited soundscript to redirect certain sound files (such as sound/weapons) to something like (sound/vo/weapons) in a way that sort of works on (non-mvm) official servers. (custom sounds don't work when someone else fires a weapon, though there are some exceptions I found, such as the minigun.) Should be under "The sv_pure 1 Sound Utility Script" on Gamabanana, but a tutorial called "A Guide To Casual Compatible Soundmods" is what I followed.

[@vxpdx]

adding to what henke37 already mentioned, when referencing sounds in Source you can use some special characters to tell the engine how to treat and playback some sounds
